The Cavern in a Tavern and the Band of "Pirates" or Militiamen 🪠

Frilly and the girls of the orchestra and singers and then boys too were living for now in a cavern of a tavern. A cavern is a cave in a cave, and a tavern is like a saloon or bar in the desert or the Wild West. Andre was there with his wife Joanna, who was pregnant with a girl and had a boy already. Frilly was his little sister in this life, so they were bound together. She was only 6, and Andre was 50. She was the youngest aside from the little boy and the girl Joanna was pregnant with, who were her little friends, already.

So, Joanna was usually alone or with her friends and helped care for her son Peter Pan and her daughter who would be Willoweema. Peter Pan had cream hair. Willoweema would probably have platinum blonde hair and blue eyes like Peter Pan. Joanna could not wait to see her. Peter Pan was allowed to have a normal life, too. Frilly was considered his older sister and sometimes cousin.

So, Frilly stayed with the orchestra. The youngest next to her was a 10 year old boy. There was a 12 year old girl. The boy was actually pretty small and part German. The girl was Dutch with long yellow, shiny hair and a little shy seeming but already very pretty. Her eyes were blue, and the boy had greenish blue eyes.

Most of the orchestra was around age 20 - 50.

So, the tavern building was actually very big altogether. It was like another famous one in a way that there was old fashioned stairway climbing up to the loft where you get to when you start and climb up. You go up and there's the loft then you climb into the drawing room, where Andre is there whistling merrily looking out the window at the sea. The building is strong and high up so it won't flood and will last for many generations as an ideal fortress of strength and wonder. It is compiled of a strong material but still looks authentic and singularly very quaint. The drawing room is old fashioned with a large mirror, a place for the girls and boys to grow and play. Then, you go in and it's like a manor. There are a set of rooms down a long winding hallway that slopes up and the rooms are stacked in stairs. There are more than enough for everyone to have their own room, but Joanna stayed with her children, who Andre also played with very much. There was a huge dining hall, but of course they could eat in their rooms. Each room had a kitchen and of course a fire alarm and hose and extinguisher. They all had a grand bathroom. There were boats docked outside and men to ferry them over the sea. They had life jackets and heated coverings etc. There were some bigger boats, as well, and ships that came in. So, there were plenty of other rooms and things to do in "the center." There was a room just to hang out and it had perched up screens with the weather and ones you could change to see different things, like crowds. It was a new implementation. Another room they used to practice music. There was a chamber music room and even a theater. They had a movie theater room, as well. There was even a dock they could go to inside that would take them into town. It was big but didn't seem to take up room in any bad way. There was a living room where you could get together as family.

The girls would like to wear rags, some dresses, but most pants. It was sorta that old feeling you'd think today. They had a romantic spirit, caught up in the upbringing they had from family. They just wanted to feel good, however that may be. It was very European, long ago.

Frilly was getting good at making her own clothes and learned to make fancy material. She didn't really overdress, you might say, around the cavern.

They were allowed to go down into the huge bar, as well, which had cozy places in it, as well. They were in the wilderness of a desert sorta area with a town kinda, and people had nice big houses as families usually, some without family. Sometimes, they would go down and help with chores and things, like mopping for instance, as it was still old times. There was food in the bar and they could go out to town, as well, and play among the gardens.

It was interesting some people were about, pirates or like militiamen. They were there some to hang out, some to protect. They were a highly influential mystery and their arrival was like of royalty.

Frilly was wearing a rose dress with some flowers on it and looked out a window in a rare part of the huge cavern feeling blissful, even at age 6, like she was "fully formed." Andre came and pet her back and picked her up and talked to her and she giggled.
