I was playing Path of Exile with some friends and I was thinking of changing my ice skills for another. I looked at the blue skill gems but couldn’t find one that seemed like something I wanted to play. I refreshed the item shop a few times looking for new equipment but apparently some of them were just empty clam shells. Not wanting to delay the party any further, I said that I was ready for the next dungeon and headed to the elevator.

I was now with my brother headed towards the hotel baths. We picked up our keys and passed through the gate that supposedly led to the locker rooms.

On the other side of the doorway I was with my uncle at the entrance of a large buffet area. There were three main halls, each named after a European city. We walked along the carpeted path to the leftmost hall - Vienna. The dining area was mostly occupied but we managed to find a small two-person table. My uncle recommended the bruschetta so I took a bite. The tomatoes had a much stronger flavor than expected.

We got off of the train as the sun was setting. I stood there thinking for a moment without realizing that people were waiting and standing alongside me. I told them not to wait for me and go on ahead.
