As the trio walked up to the Koob entranceway even in the night the mirrored walls had a significant glare about them, and when they entered it was almost more than Aella could take.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Are those… street lights?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153yeah, electric too. Pretty cool huh?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Claire was happy too show off his home town.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n The whole city was lit up, it seemed like magic too Aella, and even Timon was impressed, he hadn’t seen a city as advanced as this in his travels. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Not bad.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said, trying his best to sound casual.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153we’ll uhhh, hit the library tomorrow.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Claire said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There’s a hostel a little way down over here, We’ll be able to rest up there.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n –<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n The three made their way down the streets on the outskirts of the city, it was all brilliantly lit, and what wasn’t lit was reflecting something that was, and Claire continued her tour speech;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153-and that way we can created an isolated emulation of pre-white event space, allowing for us to use technology and sciences that have since been rendered useless. For example this is the only city in the world that has a railway system, and some of the buildings are so tall they have electric powered elevators.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153what are they?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Aella asked, still in awe of her surroundings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153like, rooms that can move. You stand in them and they take you to the floor you want to go to, they are really cool. And you cant see it from this street, but in the canter of the city is the great library, its the biggest there has ever been, and they say the whole knowledge of humankind is in there. But because there is so much, there’s no way one person can learn it all at once. Although there was a rumour that one scholar \u00e2\u20ac\u201c oh, here we are. This is home for the night.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n Aella proudly pointed at a building, like the others covered in mirrors and lights, the brightest of which spelt out ‘Madame Quirk’s House for the weary’, it appeared to be pretty small compared to the buildings around it but Aella and Timon both secretly thought it was still a really cool looking place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don’t just stand there gawking at it, we have to go in and reserve our rooms idiots\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Claire marched into the hostel and after exchanging glances Timon and Aella followed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n Inside it seemed the whole first flour was a kind of lounge and bar mixed, with sofas, pointed at some box lit up in the corner. Aella and Timon made their way across the room over to Claire who was talking to a friendly looking woman who appeared to be in her later forties.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ah, so these are your friends are they sweetie?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the woman smiled at them, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You can call me Que, Claire’s explained your situation so its ok for you to stay the night free, but if you are so tight for money maybe you should consider getting jobs while you are here?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n Que looked at Aella inquisitively, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your apron… do you have experience waitressing hun?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153umm, yes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153well that settles it then, you can work here to pay for the room and food, how does that sound?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ummm…\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Aella was unsure, her last job waitressing went very badly, she looked into Que’s eyes and Que just smiled back almost maternally, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153…sure.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153well there we go then, you can attend to your business in town tomorrow and start in the evening.
