[The PORTAL clicks on to show an unusual temple which has appeared not far from House 14. The image moves, suggesting that Aradia is holding the PORTAL as she walks around the temple and may or may not be aware that this is recording. While she cannot be seen on screen, her thoughts can be heard clearly]

Fascinating...I wonder how this ended up

[Morticia is looking at the temple through her display, and her expression is one of happiness - though her smile is a little tight on her face, her tone is clearly excited and impressed.]

Why miss Aradia, it is beautiful! Such fine lines, such age-encrusted rock! And is that algae? How romantic!

A shame if it isn't dangerous, but I would be thrilled to explore it with you. I haven't seen such magnificent ruins since my first honeymoon!

[megid0_maiden]

[Aradia's delighted that someone's taking such an interest]

Oh, Morticia! I didn't realise you were interested in archaeology too. You're more than welcome to come and see...I'm not sure what it means, exactly. I think it's important but I don't really understand why yet...anyway, I'd be happy for us to explore together.

[hemlock_garden]

Oh I do love to see things with such history, and it looks so gloomy and decrepit! We should absolutely explore it! Perhaps it will even be haunted!

[Be still her heart, she would be ecstatic if it were haunted!]

[megid0_maiden]

[She seems to consider this a moment]

I can't hear anything that would suggest it's haunted, but perhaps they're too quiet to hear from here. Maybe if we went further we might find something.

[aeterno_arma]

Is that your Place of Solace, Aradia? I could help you to explore it.

Uh..is there water around the temple? [Because he can't stand it 8'(]

[megid0_maiden]

Place of Solace? It's from Alternia, is that what you mean? And no, there's no water that I've noticed. It used to be in a cave but apparently not anymore.

[aeterno_arma]

A place of Solace is that part of our world that arrived here with us, but not everyone has one.

[No water is always good.] Oh, and it's the temple of a god?

[megid0_maiden]

Oh. Strange that this would be mine...but I'm excited to explore it.

I'm not sure, exactly. I hadn't learned much about it before I came here.

[Unfortunately John does not realize who this is, but he does notice not only horns but gray skin. Unlike some of the trolls that have cheated and spied and know how they look, John has absolutely nooo idea. He does, however, feel like he should know what that place is. If only because Jade has mentioned something like it before.

He's sending a text before he realizes it.]

That looks amazing! Do you know what it is?

[megid0_maiden]

It's a temple I found back on Alternia shortly before I came here. I'm not really sure what it's doing here.

[lunardancing]

Maybe it's your Place of Solace?

[megid0_maiden]

Yes...yes someone else mentioned that. I guess it must be.
