[k] @Mash We still have another twenty minutes until we're supposed to meet up, so we should still have time to relax with a cup of tea before we head to the lobby. [k] ?1:Thanks, Mash. Okay, I'll go wash my face then. ?2:Man, who knew taking care of an inn was this much work... ?!

[k] @Kiyohime Something about Enma-tei forces Servants to manifest like we have normal lives. Almost like incarnation... [k] @Kiyohime We get hungry, we have to sleep at night... And it's especially hard when you have low blood pressure... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Tomoe Gozen Perhaps there is a Bounded Field or something similar that keeps the inn rooted in the laws of the spirit world despite existing in reality. [k] @Tomoe Gozen Whatever the reason, it does feel like we Servants have returned to our living bodies here. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Tamamo-no-Mae It really does. It takes me back[sr]to when I still went by Mizukume. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae The Enma-tei isn't just a mountain inn;[sr]it's an inn of the spiritual world. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae Travelers that end up here aren't lost. They're wanderers who happened to step into another world. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae One day, you find yourself cut off from your own world, enjoy a period where you never age a day... [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae ...and when you finally go back to your original world, you find that decades have passed... [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae It's the textbook example of being spirited away, just like the Dragon Palace or the Peach Blossom Spring. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Fionn mac Cumhaill I see. That sounds much like one of our own stories. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Though ours involves a type of changeling, where a human child is kidnapped and turned into a fairy. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Fairies have their own unique way of seeing things,[sr]and will sometimes lure humans into their world. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Such humans become ageless while in the other world, but they inevitably pay the price for their dream all at once upon returning to reality.

[k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill No, no, nothing like that. Tír na nÓg may be the[sr]Land of Fairies, but it is still part of our world. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill It is merely detached from it, much like a Reality Marble, or like a dream being had by the very planet. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Whether that dream is a good one or a bad one depends on what the fairy in question happens to be like.

[k] @Goredolf Hmph. Then I suppose we can add “knowledge of fairies” to things you excel at. [k] @Goredolf Of course, you did manage to take one for a wife.[sr]I take it she was drawn to those golden locks of yours? [k] [charaFace E 1] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Hahaha, I'll tell you about Sadhbh some other time.[sr]It's difficult to stop once I begin talking about her. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill At the moment, we are here to discuss the Enma-tei. Have any of you learned anything since our arrival? [k] @Diarmuid Yes, my lord. The demonic monkeys have been engaging in mischief on a much wider scale than we thought. [k] @Diarmuid They attack the sparrows throughout the mountain, and interfere with their efforts to collect the so-called bounties of the mountain and the river.

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Tomoe Gozen The demonic monkeys running about are certainly a problem, but the Enma-tei itself has issues as well. [k] @Tomoe Gozen First and foremost is, as we all know[sr]by now, the drought of customers. [k] @Tomoe Gozen It is also because of that drought that many[sr]of the inn's facilities have been closed off. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Tamamo-no-Mae Makes sense. No point paying to run a store when there's no one around to use it. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae Even all the way out in a remote spirit world, there's no escaping personnel costs and utility bills... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash The Enma-tei is currently only operating[sr]with the bare minimum of facilities. [k] @Mash That may not be an issue at the moment, but if we're going to bring in more guests, we'll also need to bring back all the other facilities. [k] ?1:It was painful to see that the hot springs were closed. [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Indeed, I was severely disappointed with that as well.[sr]I wonder why they sealed them off? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?2:It was painful to see that the big kitchen was closed. [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Tamamo-no-Mae True, but you can understand why they[sr]don't need it with so few guests. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae Besides, Ms. Beni's the only one here who can cook.[sr]All the apprentice sparrows can do is serve the guests their food. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?! [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 10] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Goredolf Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.[sr]Now button it up. We're almost at the lobby.

[k] @Beni-Enma We have several more guests now than when you arrived, so we need to restock our larders before we run out. [k] @Beni-Enma I may have mixed feelings about bringing outsider Heroic Spirits to the historic Enma-tei, but as our guests, we can't have them going hungry. [k] @Beni-Enma I'll take you to the good hunting grounds,[sr]so make sure to bring your best. Chirp chirp!
