::The blond Author takes you to what appears to be a plush room decorated in a manner to give it an appearance of a comfortable lounge. Various types of games are readily visible, seemingly from all over the Cosmos, including everything from regular and three-dimensional chess to video arcade games to the latest in electronic gaming platforms::

Even the Gemlords have their moments of wanting to just have fun. Probably for them, it's even more important, given their long lifespans. I'd certainly want to keep myself entertained were I around for millions of years.

Hey there. How's it going?

::Two Lithosians are apparently engaged in a game of pool. One of them has a rather intellectual air to him, his red-brown eyes looking out at the world with a skeptical expression, his rusty-red hair straight, cut on the short side and layered to make a perfect frame for his sly, handsome, vulpine-like face. He rests his weight casually on his feet, a pool cue in his hands. His companion's the one that spoke, a tall, elegant, slender male with a thick, glossy mane of golden-brown hair pulled back into a neat ponytail at the nape of his neck, golden-brown colored eyes, and wearing a set of rather loose-fitting clothes, the shirt of which is halfway unbuttoned. The one that spoke--his voice a low, almost sultry purr--seems to give off an aura of sensual masculine sexuality::

::Di turns to you and points to the redhead:: Over there are Lord Jasper . . .

::The professor-like Gemlord inclines his head in a gesture of silent acknowledgment and greeting::

. . . and Lord Sinhalite. It's going fine, Sin. Just showing a few visitors around.

Ah . . . ::Again, it's almost a purr:: Well then, don't mind us. I was just about to kick Jasper's rear in a game of eight-ball. ::Sinhalite turns back to studying the pool table::

In your dreams, Sin. ::Jasper smirks, eyes turning back to the game::

Shouldn't that be 'nightmares'?

That too . . . ::The redhead chuckles as his opponent leans against the table and starts aiming at the cue ball::

Well, as they're going back to that, how about I interest you in a couple of things you can do while you're in here? At the moment, there's only a couple of things, but I promise to try to get more in here for visitors to do in the future.

I have a few things planned to be added to the Parlor, so be on the lookout for new things to do here.

::Di turns to you and smiles:: If you're done hanging out here, where shall I take you next? ::She waits for your reply::
