The internet is a storm of URLs, wi-fi and strings of dangerous code, whirling and thundering. Out in the wilderness you can only survive so long unaided, but in here, behind the mellow yellow windows, a safe and comforting place awaits. This place is a respite from the internet; the fire crackles invitingly and alluring rainbow-coloured drinks are poured into glasses. Exciting chatter fills the rooms from tables bustling with friends, eating from trays of warm, rustic carum bread and hearty stews. Gentle music comes from the band in the background.

Come in, chat away, have a great time! The old location may have been overrun by the Codekind, but this new building has three-meter thick walls, three floors and turret bedrooms to rest in at the top! We’ve returned, free from the battles of the secret pages! A safe micro-community of equality and no judgement. Hang up your HTML-reflective suit at the door and settle in with a drink and a meal.
Notice Board: Free candy in the bowl on the counter! What types of candy are there? Yes.

Robin walked into the Hazelpage, finally. She had searched for many months, after running from the confusing Tavern place with all these characters Bluefire had brought her to. She ran a finger on the counter. Dusty, as if no one had been there for months. Last she had seen, the Hazelpage had been bustling with activity and now it seemed… deserted. There was only one thing she could do. With her almost-forgotten power, she opened a door that was behind the counter. In it was cleaning supplies. *Well, I suppose I should start somewhere*, thought Robin. She levitated a broom and a dustpan from the closet, closed the closet door, and began to sweep the dusty floor.
“Oi!” A shout came from one of the hallways branching off from the main tavern room. “Whose job is it to run the Tavern? That’s right, the tavern keepers, and that’s only a select few people.”
A woman poked her head around the corner, her long hair appearing orange in the low light. “Just because we’re on vacation at the moment doesn’t mean newbies can come waltzing in to take our jobs,” she grumbled.
“My bad!” Robin called out. She leaned the broom against the counter and walked to the other side of the bar. “So where is everyone, anyway? Last I was here, it was bustling like crazy!”
Emberdawn shrugged. “Even the Tavern has lulls in business. We have enough to keep the building up and open, though, so it’s no problem!”
Navy followed the trail that Emberdawn had conveniently left in the imaginary snow/recent purrs. “Hey guys” she interrupted, trying not to show how socially awkward she actually was. She looked around the almost empty surroundings. “I’ve only been here once or twice but never stopped to say hello. So what’s the deal with this place anyway?”
“The Hazelpage is a Tavern, duh.” Emberdawn moved behind the counter, starting to wipe it down. “It’s a safe space in the interwebs, which are rife with danger. It is also, among other things, a roleplay page.” She paused, glancing up at the ceiling. “Whatever that means.”
Navy frowned in confusion. “Roleplay? Is that a type of fruit?” She asked.
She shrugged in response. “Beats me. Somehow, the word fits, but I have no clue what it means.”
Navy looked up at the clock. “Great Starclan!” She exclaimed, eyes widening. “I’d better get going. I promised that I’d get home soon.” She looked at Emberdawn, shrugging awkwardly. “See you around then. I’ll be sure to come back soon when it’s busier.” There was a moment of awkward silence before Navy opened the door and faded into the snowy landscape beyond…
