Just as Tall is about to remark, the gates open with an electronic cling as a woman in uniform steps out. She smiles pleasantly, offering entrance, "Honored guests are allowed admissison with the proper invitation. I assume you all brought your letters? If so, please step inside, my sisters," a set of sisters, identical to the first, pop out from behind her, "shall escort you in and see to your comforts. I shall wait here for any stragglers."

Akantha blinks ocne at the women, then reaches into the front pocket of the smaller bag. She pulls out the envelope and approaches the woman, a bit of obvious skepticism showing on her face. " The 'proper invitation'." she says, handing it over.

"triplets..." tallak mutters beneath his breath.
He produces the envelope from within his vest and holds it out. The first triplet gives him a faint look as he walks past the gates.

"Curioser and curiouser..." she mumbles as she re-buttons her bag. She turns and gives Tallak a faint glance, before returning her attention once more to the palace.

They walk into a grand hallway, the walls lined with mosaics. The ceilings are arched and more pillars line up, guiding your vision to an indoor garden with a fountain in the center.
The two of the triplets present turn to the guests, "please make yourself comfortable. Mr. Rawson is eager to meet with you, but it shall be delayed till more of the guests have arrived. Till then, feel free to have a look around."

Akantha raises an eyebrow. "Time to explore? Or does 'have a look around' mean stay within sight?"

The two girls shrug in unison. "It doesn't really matter how far you go. Go as far as you please. When the time is right, we will come and retrieve you."
Tallak looks at them suspiciously. Somehow, he doesn't buy this whole gimmick.

She turns, obviously intrigued, and circles the room once. Its obvious that she want to explore, but it reluctant to stray from the hall.

Tallak stares at her for a moment. he raises an eyebrow as he watches her walking around in circles.
"...ehm.....you know, they did say we could explore......"

She turns to him. "Yeah, but I'm pretty sure they're either using reverse psychology or double reverse psychology. So I figure it's best to hang out here."

"oh really? reverse or double reverse psychology? one problem. so what would they be gaining if they were using psychology of any form? Worst to worst, we are kicked out of their little game." a large red arrow from the heaves points at Tallak with the caption "he still thinks this is probably just some ridiculous reality tv show."

"I have no idea. But I've writen one two many macabre novels to take anything at face value anymore." She smiles sardonicly.

he smiles at this, "well, don't get too wrapped up in a world of fantasy that we can't pull you back from there from time to time."

"I live in my own little world. But it's okay, they know me here." She turns then, and runs a hand along the mosiacs reverantly.

He clears his throat, "You know, if it made you feel better, we could both go explore this place."
