Day 7: Eastbell,Icewynne,Notsuoh lounge and bar,Before hours,Login Desk,Dark Hour

"Hey! Snow! What's up chica?"

Nova looked at Shadow dazed and confused. He always seemed to be the first face she saw when she logged in. She took a deep breath, so this place is real.

"I was starting to think you wouldn't show up"

"I broke my laptop."

"Dude that sucks man."

She shrugged examining her bodysuit. She really wanted to find out more about this thing. She glanced around the bar, besides her and Shadow it was empty. She enjoyed the quiet but something was missing. "Where are the others?"

"Others?"

"You know...Sage and Azure. Where are they?"

"They're on the roof."

Nova cocked an eyebrow, she didn't remember those two showing them a roof the last time.

"How long have you been here?"

Did Shadow get kicked out of the realm too? Was he trapped inside Icewynne all week? God that must have been amazing.

"Eh? I've been logging in every day at around midnight it's the only time you can get in this place. You missed a lot of shit you know."

"Huh, so that first night you got kicked out too?"

"Yeah. Azure said it had something to do with a faulty connection? The time users can stay logged in varies. Sometimes you can stay online for a few hours server-time, sometimes it's days."

Shadow chuckled, "The day before yesterday, there was this crazy bachelor party! I passed out on the toilet seat and woke up the next day and they were still going at it!" 

He eyes sparkled at the memory before his face rested in a sly smirk.

"You know, since I've been here more than you have, that means I'm officially twenty times cooler than you."

At this Nova scowled.

"Or not!" Shadow laughed nervously "Or you're still just as cool as you were before! You're really cool!"

"Ah Sister Snow what a pleasant surprise. I was beginning to think you wouldn't return. What happened?"

It was Azure, she sauntered down the stairs Nova assumed must have lead to the second floor. There were so many details she had missed before that she was able to observe now that the place was empty

"Um my laptop died."

"She threw it across her room."

Nova shot Shadow a glare.

"My laptop died."

Azure waved her off. "Well, you're here now so that's all that matters. Come on we're having lunch upstairs on the roof, we'll catch you up with all the details there."

"Alright uh, sure." Nova's mind was buzzing with questions as she walked towards the stairs only to be cut off by Shadow who had sprinted to get there before her.

"Aw sweet! Come on Snow! If you thought the drinks were good, the food here is like heaven!"

She reached the roof only to be greeted by a picnic blanket and a spread of delicious food. Platters of colorful fruits and vegetables, soups, salads and wraps, even the noodles were in an array of colors. Nova spotted a plate of orange spaghetti squash drizzled with a savory scarlet sauce. It all looked so delectable.
