Day two.

What: Arrival of Christian
When: Late Morning
Where: Near the stables.
Rating: PG for now
Status: complete.

Christian stood on the balcony outside his room, straining his eyes to try and see satine in the Duke's suite, though he knew it was pointless. He also knew he should'nt be mad with jealousy, she didnt belong to him, she didnt belong to anyone really, but that didnt stop him from being madly in love with her.

Giving up his fruitless search, he decide to clear his head, and have a walk about the city, something he had rarely seen since he got here.Yes, a walk would do him good, perhaps get all these jealous thoughts out of his mind. "Ah going out are we master Christian?Harold asked as Christian moved past him, grabbing his jacket from the hook "For A while yes, should I have sophie fetch something while I'm gone?"He asked the owner, who merely shook his hand dismissively, running off as one of the dancers beckoned him.Christian just smiled and continued on his way Always something happening 'round hereHe thought, pushing through the wooden doors that led to the dreary city.

Only instead the Rain drenched paris streets that usually lay outside the moulin rouge's doors, he found himself...in a desert?"What the bloody-"He started, thinking perhaps he had walked onto one of the many performing stages at first,though the sound of the giggling dancers would have given the 'joke'away by now. No this was definatly not paris. Not by a long shot.

So where the bloody hell was he?

He debated on asking her wether it was a joke, it had to be did'nt it?A planet just could'nt go around pulling people and uprooting them.At least as far as he knew it could'nt.

Christian paused, before his eyes raked over the stone tablet, skimming the words at first before slowing down, taking in their meaning.He felt a sinking feeling overwhelm him.Stuck here, wherever Here was, never to see satine's beautiful face, her smile, her laughter.Never to hear her sing again? It had to be a joke, a cruel joke.

"Is this...This can't be right..can It?"He said at last, his voice cracked from the heat and the effort to not laugh, or possibly cry, he hadnt decided yet. "What about the moulin rouge?and my friends, surely they'll notice my absence"And satine, his lovely satine.She would miss him,he knew that more then anything.

He had a thousand questions, most of which he was sure this women probaly couldnt, answer, but swallowed them, at least until could calm down, or find a way out of here.

"Unfortunately, it is correct. Your friends will probably never know you are gone. Time doesn't pass there the same way is passes here. I am sorry for your loss." Ayla was sympathetic to his plight. She had suffered her own losses as well.

She didn't know where Jondalar was now, or if he had even noticed her absence. But, she had come to accept her sentence here on this planet. She bit down on her lip as he came to terms with what was going to be happening to him.

"I can show you where your room is now." She held his key out to him, a shining platinum thing. "This is your key. If you lose it, it can be replaced." She gestured toward the building where his room is. "I suppose I should warn you. Your room will look the way you want it to look. Oftentimes it looks like a place you occupied in your own world. But, if you wish it to look completely different, it will."

She led the way, her sinewy step still silent. Looking back over her shoulder, she wanted to make sure he was following her. He was being quite a bit more agreeable than Doumyouji had been yesterday. And that was saying a lot considering Christian wasn't being all that agreeable.

Christian frowned, trying to come to terms with all this new information.The fact that he'd never see satine or any of dancers again or even harold, it was maddening.His mouth opened and closed a few times, but no words came out, as the words got stuck in his throat, before he gave up, shaking his head in defeat.

He gripped the key in his hand tightly, half hoping the feel of metal would bring him back to life, and that he had merely falling asleep, but some part of him knew it wasnt to be, that he was to live in this 'prison'the rest of his days.It would have been a bit more bearable had satine been here, he knew that.

So lost in his thoughts he barley heard of her speak of the rooms. "Change?of their accord?"He asked dumbly, he had never heard of such a thing before!To him it was like magic, a strange magic, but magic nontheless. "Thats amazing!"He followed her to building looming in front of them. "What other magic does this place hold?"He asked her timidly.

Ayla watched Christian take in and process the fact that he would not be able to leave, and quite possibly would not see anyone he loved for a very long time, if ever. "I have been told that sometimes friends and family are pulled to this place as well. Although, it hasn't happened to me. But there are others who are no longer alone in this place. There is some hope, but to avoid heartache it is best not to think of it too much." It was sort of a harsh thing to say, but she didn't know what else to do.

When they arrived at his room number, Ayla paused and turned to answer his questions before he opened the door. "Yes, the room changes according to your will, of it's own accord." It was magic, of a sort. The Planet's magic. It couldn't be controlled by anyone else. Really one of the only things the occupants of this planet could control themselves. "The magic is in everything. The food is exactly what you want, your clothes are the way you wish them, and I have heard that the area will change. Not just with the seasons, but the buildings change, and the land changes." It was very strange to Ayla, and she had yet to see the latter happen, and she wasn't sure she wanted to.

"I hope that you are not too overwhelmed, but I will leave you now. If you would like me to show you around another time, I am downstairs in room B112. Right now, I think it is best for you to rest and think. Things may be better for you tomorrow." She gave him a tenative smile. She really was no good at this. She might just have to stop picking up those blinking keys from now on.

His eyes lit up at that and some small part of hoped that this place would see fit to pull satine here as well.It would delight him to no end, spending the rest of his days here with her and no duke to ruin their true love.

He nodded at her words and slid his key in, unlocking the door and swung it open.Disappointment regestered on his face as, at first glance, it looked plain, dreary even, before it quickly changed, looking exactly like his room back in paris.Golden walls, red posters and even his duave bed, lay before him, and he grinned, delighted.

He turned, glancing at the strange women, as she bid im adu and nodded."I will do just that, dear lady, and bid you good day"He said, matching her smile before he slid into his room, intent on exploring the rest of this strange place later.
