Layla and Others: A Chance For Love?
Chapter 6:

Layla and Eyja go to Anvil for dinner ...

Eyja: Uhhh, hello! Can we have some privacy please?    [Dialup #1]

Eyja starts to show some gratitude to Layla...    [Dialup #2]

Followed the next day with a trip to the Bloated Float to find Neeshka and to dance the night away...

Layla, Eyja and Neeshka are very happy to be there with one another.    [Dialup #3]

Neeshka goes arm-in-arm with a fellow Dunmer, who will not let go of her.    [Dialup #4]

Layla and Eyja mix it up a bit.    [Dialup #5]

And so does that nasty Neeshka!    [Dialup #6]

Then Layla notices Lucien on the dance floor! Layla wonders if he is batting for the other side now...    [Dialup #7]

Everyone seems OK with this until...    [Dialup #8]

Lucien and Eyja become captivated by one another! Layla tries to intervene but is unsuccessful.    [Dialup #9]

So the inevitable late night coupling occurs for all - except for one gal...    [Dialup #10]

Frustrated, Layla leaves with some potions Neeshka gave her earlier, while Lucien beckons her to stay.    [Dialup #11]

She goes top side to get away and decides to drink the potions. She tries to relax in the night air.    [Dialup #12]

But soon Layla begins dancing in a strange world!    [Dialup #13]

She passes through a portal into very fluid waves of light.    [Dialup #14]

Layla encounters an aspiring high Elf dancing.    [Dialup #15]

And an unusual reflection of herself.    [Dialup #16]

Layla moves deeper into these etheric spaces...    [Dialup #17]

And soon loses her mind and starts to freak out! She is having trouble breathing and is about to pass away!!!    [Dialup #18]

Suddenly Lucien enters this same place and rescues Layla!    [Dialup #19]

Layla re-enters our world and can finally breathe again!    [Dialup #20]

She is then told that she had fallen overboard under the influence of a Neeshka skooma special! Several other patrons had also drunkenly inadvertently dunked themselves.    [Dialup #21]

Are you OK Layla?    [Dialup #22]

Having nearly drowned, and now lost in sorrow over the fragility of human love, Layla decides to stay on board to sort out her priorities. She waves to Lucien, Eyja, and Neeshka who leave to continue the party at Layla's Skingrad house...    [Dialup #23]
