Page 5 - Gigi's Entrance
Gigi wanders into town, lost, not knowing where to go next. First she
was forced to leave her 1st place of employment, due to a bankruptcy,
erm...among other things (things too dark to talk about) and then,
just when she getting comfortable in Hartman House, all kinds of odd
things were happening, and then ~poof~ everyone just disappeared, and
she, again was left alone without a home. Unsure of what to do next,
Gigi spots the tavern on the corner and hearing her stomach grumble,
she figures that no decisions should be made without a meal and a good
nights sleep. Its going to be difficult for her to sleep alone, after
all this time, she kinda got used to sharing a bed with Geoffry,
but...sighing softly, she enters the tavern and settles at the nearest
empty table. Catching the eye of one of girls, Gigi places her order
for Venison stew and a mug of ale. She deserves it after all she has
been through. Inhaling the scent of the food placed in front of her,
she pulls her hair out of her face and begins to eat, like she hasn't
been fed in days. She leans back and worries about being thought about
badly if she ordered another bowl, she takes a sip of her ale, and
tries to deside what to do next. Stretching and yawning, she
approaches the barkeep to pay for her meal and inquires about a room
for the night. He takes her money and leads her upstairs to a small
room, with just a bed and an old broken looking glass. A ruusty
pitcher sits upon an old scarred dresser. Thanking the man, she closes
the door behind him and sighs. Setting her valise upon the floor, she
climbs into the bed without even bothering to undress and falls into a
fitful sleep.
