It honestly sounded like a nice notion, being given a break from the routine requirement for sex every so often. Most likely her naive hopefulness had been overriding her common sense when she had been delivered a message that she was going to be allowed that perk. She didn't honestly regret her encounters, but for what the gesture meant in the

"Well this is a lovely mess we've gotten into," Anders muttered, carving his way through the thick shrubbery. This was supposed to be The Fade, but was not, meaning there were things left undone back where he needed to be. It was number one and two on the Grand List of Things Irking Anders at that point in time.

The trees, for one thing, were growing very close together, making it very hard for him to get anywhere. He was thankful for the mercy of a spotted clearing, and trudged towards it with a grunt of effort.

"At least there's no dark spawn," he mused with a fraction of a smile. A flicker of movement behind the falls had him hoping he would not be eating those words, but what he spotted was not a snarling Hurlock... in fact, it was a pretty young girl.

"Pardon me miss, for intruding on your campsite," he said, "it's just that I've somehow managed to get myself hopelessly lost. If I asked where Kirkwall was, I'm really hoping you wont just stare at me blankly."

The noises had steadily grown in volume, leading Amelia to twist her head around in all directions, trying to figure out what was causing them. She soon realized the truth as the man came into view. Sadly, she did give him that blank stare, followed by a sigh.

"I'm sorry, but I have no idea to where you're referring." she answered, expression regretful she wasn't of much use. She had to wonder if this guy was aware he was in part of the hotel or not, thought she thought better than to bring it up right there and then. She didn't want to give him too big of shock after all if that was the case.

"Isn't it rather dangerous to be wandering around her at night? I'm pretty sure there's animals prowling around." she enquired, a little concerned. Certainly he looked like he could take care of himself, but it was still a worrying thought.

"It's alright, I'm an animal person," Anders responded with wry smile. Sticking the bladed end of his staff into the ground, he took a moment to observe the timid girl.

"And what of you, m'lady? Surely it can't be safe for you to be resting out here all alone. There are many threats that live in the forest... or, at least there are in the forests I'm familiar with. As I said, I have little idea where I am."

He paused a moment more, observing her whist lifting a hand to scratch gently at the stubble powdering his cheek. "I don't suppose you might be able to shed some light on the subject?"

[healsforjustice]

She blinked, a little bewildered at that. Still, at least he was being positive, and apparently knew what he was doing. She was too mind you, though she couldn't exactly blame the man for thinking otherwise considering her appearance.

"I can handle myself, you don't need to worry sir." she replied, though stopped, listening and hesistating on saying more. So, he was a new arrival then. The hotel was certainly not giving him an easy way to settle in by dropping him off in this setting.

"You might not believe me, but you're not in your own world anymore. In fact you're not even in a forest per se. This is actually just one elaborate space created inside a single building." she finally spoke, features serious but sympathetic as a hand ran through her hair, weary of the likely confusion and denial to come. Believing was hard enough when you landing in one of the guest rooms, nevermind in the middle of an elaborate set up like this.

"What?" Anders quirked a brow, an expression of bewilderment blooming on his face. "So this place isn't even in Thedas? Nor is it part of The Fade?" Leave it to Anders to get that bloody lost. He ran a hand through his hair, taking another look around and re-appraising his surroundings

[healsforjustice]

She shook her head solemnly in each instance, thinking it best to let him mull over and take in everything. Obviously, different people took the news various ways, but it still took a while to sink in for most new arrivals. At least he didn't think she was insane

"It sounds like The Fade," Anders observed quietly to himself, "perhaps it is some kind of linked dream..." it would make sense, considering he'd been tying to get into the Fade in the first place. But that was neither here nor there.

"I'm sure there is worse company I could be keeping, all things considered," he spoke up as he ducked the falls and approached the flame. He hadn't meant to embarrass the poor girl, but that sheepish flush of hers was rather fetching. What, he could admire! Admiring was harmless!

"So, let me get this straight. This... hotel place randomly collects people and then inflicts what ever kind of circumstance it chooses onto it's unwilling guests?" the idea did not sound unfamiliar; to Anders, it sounded like the work of a demon, but so far Justice was mulling about quietly among his thoughts without all the holly fuming that came with the approach of those vile things.

Regardless, his mind was predisposed to accept the concept.

Amelia left him to his musings, stoking the fire up a bit more as he took a seat. Asking him questions would lead to more confusion anyway. Still, the worst was yet to come, the most important detail, the one she couldn't leave out, having to be explained. Sadly, it made the rest of the strange happenings at least make sense.

"Well yes, and there is a purpose interlinking most of the activities." she began, trying not to shift about too much. This was usually a hard thing to broach, but with the belt on, it was literally not worth her while to move considering the soreness it was causing. "This is...a love hotel. Most set ups are in order to provoke people to, well...have sex." she finished, eyes looking away as she chewed on her lower lip in embarrassment. No matter how many times she had to explain this, it never ceased to leave her flustered.
