The Laughing Nymph inn is an unusually large inn built to look like a tavern from old times commonly found in fantasy fiction, with the lower level mostly comprised of a large room serving as bistro with a bar in the back of the room which further leads off into the kitchen, and two other rooms to the sides of the bistro which are off limits for customers.
The tables and chairs are overly fancy, always clean and ready to eat on them, and properly filled with eating utensils, colorfull napkins and other restaurant standards. The walls are filled with paintings of varying landscapes, old towns, forests and seem to be changed, to fit the current season. They also have a large TV mounted on the wall in case of a sport event or any important news.
The bar features a fine collection of beverage, alcoholic and non alcoholic in nature, along with your usual long and backless seats for everyone to reach up to the broad counter, on which the staff may attend to their customer's thirst, while one can barely manage to peek into the kitchen, from where the food for the bistro is prepared.
The stairs on the bistro lead up to the upper level, which is a long hallway, broad enough to allow two tray-wagons to be moved through next to eachother, which has rooms along the way to the window by the end to both sides. The rooms are all split into pairs, with a small recess between each pair which has a smaller window, to allow easy ventilation of the hallway. The very first rooms are bathrooms for each sex to use in need.
However, not everyone is given a room when requesting one. Most will receive a smile and a kind rejection, with a claim that all rooms are taken already.
In the past, that used to be the case, but not due to the Inn's success, but rather due to it's true function; The Laughing Nymph served as a safehouse, when heavy tension reigned among society in the past, to give other species in trouble a safe haven until they could be moved elsewhere, or the problem subdued.
In fact, most of the customers, especially the regulars are all non human, and while they had to hide in the past, they are now openly showing themselves inside these safe walls.
Robin has been a resident for a long time and has kept a room ever since, which has eventually become her place of residence when she joined the college out of convenience.
Albeit a bit small, the room consists of a tiny bathroom, a small kitchen on the opposite side and a main room which has one window.
The main room features a double bed in the centre, placed to a wall while a TV is set up on a tv stand, with a couple different consoles plugged into it. A laptop rests on a table with two chairs, but the most impressive part of the room might be the small bookshelf next to the TV... which is FULL of games for different systems. The Walls are full of of posters from game magazines, with an occassional psyche and community poster sticking out from the overly shiny fictional heros. This was the room of a passionate person. A person who spends much time with her hobby. A nerd's room.
The bar area is mainly staffed by a pair of identical twins, with greek features. Now that things are less secret, they take less effort to hide their natures, each with yellow, slit-pupiled eyes, 'hair' in braids that sometimes move on their own power, and thin scales on their cheeks and neck betraying their gorgon heritage.
