Aerwyn had been at the lake, meditating when her mother came down, telling her about the Aurorieal Festival in the southern part of their land. She walked to dry land, her light dress floating behind her as the winds blew strongly, whipping her hair in her face. Stopping a few metres away from the lake, Aerwyn looked at her mother and gestured for the invitation. 'well, it would seem I will be taking a trip down south to partake in the Aurorieal.' she mused

Robin stepped out of the Uber into the beautiful village of CloudVale. She checked the time and headed into town. 9:27. The Aurorieal Festival started in an hour and fifteen minutes, so she decided to waste some time.
She grabbed a quick pastry from a local bakery and wandered along the streets, gazing in to the local shops and basking in the feel of a new, unexplored place. It seemed to be fairly small, so she wasn’t quite sure where the festival would be held, but she would ask one of the local villagers when the time came.

Imperos yawned then got up from the table at the cafe. He sighed when he looked at the time, a little over an hour before the festivities started. So he went back to his hotel room with a coffee cup in hand. When he got to his room he packed up all his stuff then had someone bring it all down for him so he could get it into a taxi. Imperos went to the nearest train station and got onto a train with his luggage heading to Cloudvale. He was only a few towns away so he would be there soon.

Adella was on the train, using a sound program on her phone to mix a new song she had recorded in the studio. She had on her bulky headphones, preferring them to all the high tech ones most of the people in the industry used.

Well, the first priority is to get a hotel room, I guess, Ava thought. She dragged her suitcase over to a motel she saw in the distance and walked in, jingling the bells. "Uh, excuse me, can I book a room here? Say… eight days?" she asked. Adjusting her grip on her suitcase she looked out one of the windows, admiring the elegance of the small town.
Getting off the boat at the edge of the town, Aerwyn paused to breath in the salty air before heading to the train station. Not being very alert into the modern age, she didnt have a phone until very recently, so she was still getting used to the random buzzing sounds. A short while later the train stopped at the station and she got off, already hearing chatter about the Aurorieal Festival. She smiled and made her way into town to find a place to stay.
Layla stepped off the plane, making sure she hadn’t forgotten anything. Her shoulder-length raven hair was in a ponytail and she wore a hoodie over her t-shirt and jeans.
She had to take a short train ride to get there as well, passing the time reading. After a little while, she got off into the city of Cloudvale. Interesting name.
Reaching a cute looking house with a sign reading 'Rooms Available', Aerwyn stepped inside and walked to where a young man was typing on a screen. "Ahem, I'd like a room for 10 days please." She stated, speaking in a slow voice. The man looked at her before turning back and staring at the screen. A few moments passed before her turned to her again and smiled. "You're in luck, we have two rooms left and you got one of them. That will be (amount)." Aerwyn must have looked surprised because the man laughed and continued. "Its because of the festival that the cost is so little." Aerwyn smiled and payed the amount before taking her key and heading up to her room

"Sure!" the receptionist of the motel smiled and continued, "The only one left is on the top floor… are you okay with that? We'll even lower the price for you!" They hadn't had much luck filling that last spot, no-one wanted it, but perhaps with a lowered price? "That's fine…" Ava replied. If it was on the top floor, so be it. "How much?" The receptionist did something on the computer in front of her and then looked up and said, "Twenty dollars." Ava started rummaging about in her purse for cash. She finally found a twenty dollar bill and handed it over to the receptionist, to which he handed her a key, saying no more than, "Thank you," and giving a small nod. She looked at the key, seeing the number "34" engraved on the head and walked up the long flight of stairs, up to the top. When she got there, she looked around for her room and when she found it, she unlocked it and walked in. Putting her stuff away, she explored the rest of the room, the places she hadn't seen much of, and the small walk-in closet.

Imperos got off of his train then called a taxi. He got his luggage and stuff into the car before heading to his parents house. When he arrives they weren't home, probably at the festival. So he put his stuff into his room before walking out to town to get something to eat.
Layla looked around in an attempt to find a hotel to stay at, but was turned away a couple times because they were full. She stumbled upon a cute little house advertising vacant spots and was able to claim the last spot, wearily dragging her bag and backpack to her room. It was a nice place, quaint and sweet.
Aerwyn put her things in the small closet before stepping outside the room and seeing another girl head into the room beside hers. She made a spur of the moment decision and went to go sy hello to her neighbour.
Walking the short distance, Aerwyn started second guessing her decision but by then she had stopped in front if the door. She took a deep breathe and knocked three times, stopping for a second in between each.
Layla opened the door to see another girl standing there. “I think you have the wrong room,” she replied with a sheepish smile, thinking that the girl was looking for a friend.
"No, I saw you head inside a few minutes after I settled in and decided to introduce myself. I am Aerwyn but you can call me Wynni." She smiled
“Oh, hello,” Layla responded, looking a bit flustered. She hadn’t expected to meet any people this fast, though she wasn’t complaining. “I’m Layla. Nice to meet you.”
"Are you here for the Festival?" She asked, leaning against the wall
“Yes, actually,” Layla said, her eyes widening a bit. “Are you?” It was strange that she had gotten an invitation, seeing as she lived across an ocean from the Netherlands now, and hadn’t lived close to them even before she had moved to Canada.
"Yes, I was very surprised as I live on an island way up north near the mountains." She said. "I wonder how they even managed to find where I lived considering my people didnt not use phones or computers until a few days ago." She laughed and leaned against the wall. "If you are not too tired or too busy, would you like to tour the town with me? It is my first time here."
Robin wandered around town for a few more minutes before she decided to check into a hotel. She had found one a little ways away from the main part of town but it worked. Once Robin checked into her room, she plopped her suitcase down on the floor and kicked off her shoes. The festival had to be starting soon.
“That sounds fun,” Layla agreed with a smile. “It’s my first time being here too. I don’t live anywhere near the Netherlands either, since I currently live in Canada. Before that I lived in Egypt, so I haven’t exactly had a reason to visit.”
"Perfect, shall we get togather in say, half an hour? That will give us enough time to get prepared for a few hours of touring." She said
Layla thought for a brief moment before nodding. “That sounds fine. I could use a shower after the long flight,” she agreed. “See you in half an hour.”
Aerwyn smiled and waved before turning and walking back to her room. She chose an outfit and quickly took a shower. She came out and dried her hair, using her ability to get rid of some of the water and then quickly styling it. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. Sorting through her things, she found the bag she was looking for and picked it up and put her essentials in there. A bottle of water followed by her phone, wallet, and extra hairties.

Layla took a shower as well, using her hand as a blowdryer with some weak flames. She had gotten really good at not burning places down after several close calls when she was younger. She wore a scarlet tank top with light-colored, high-waisted jeans and her favorite black sneakers. She got her small backpack and put some water, gum, lipstick, and her wallet in it. She smiled at her reflection, deeming herself ready to go.
Aerwyn came out if her room and knocked on Layla's door. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves.
Layla jumped at the knock, laughing at herself for getting scared, and went to open the door. She swung it open to reveal Aerwyn. “Hi!” she chirped. “Ready to go?”

Adrian paid the fare right before he opened the door from his taxi. He was in the Netherlands and he couldn't believe it. Neither did his gangmates as they bombarded him with texts about how he was after they left once he boarded the plane to get there. He was face to face with a hotel, one he would be staying at for the next two weeks or so. He had made a reservation online while he was in Canada so he didn't expect much hassle. He went in and quickly got his key to room 50, a private suite on the top floor. One of his mates, Razor, came along with him, a bit of a watchful eye to make sure he wouldn't get hurt but he wasn't in the way. He pulled his bags along with him to the elevator and watched as the numbers went up before he got to his floor. A little while later, once he finished unpacking, he decided to go back down to the lobby knowing that he was bored and had nothing to do.

Imperos went into a small cafe and got a coffee and muffin then sat down. He pushed his hair out of his eyes as he sat then began drinking his coffee.
"Of course, where do you want to go first?" Aerwyn asked
Layla thought for a moment. “I’m kind of hungry, so maybe we could go get something to eat?” she suggested.
