destinystrings | [Open] Come One and All! (Forward Dated to 2/16)

Who: Open to all of Hinoto-Ri (NPCs included)
Where: Amagi Inn in Scorpio District
Summary: It's the Grand Opening of the Amagi Inn! Time to relax and take what services you can get!
Warnings: If you haven't seen P4...hot springs. Just. Hot springs.

[It took a long time to get to this point; a month actually but with a few bumps smoothed out. Who's counting?

The day of the 16th arrived without a hitch and with the strange little robot cupid thing out of the way (for now), it was time to push on through and get the opening underway. Strangely that someone didn't open the doors on a day where couples were supposed to spend time with each other. Yukiko noticed the date and suggested that Saturday night would be best because some customers could be students: obviously an opening date during the week wouldn't work so naturally, she chose one when people would want to be out. Ever since then, she tried to get the word spread about through various forms of communication...well except the COMP network. Minus that one time where those damn Pyro Jacks decided to make a nesting grounds until they got kicked out. Anyone who pretty much responded to her post on it got a free night for their trouble and she remembered it.

All of the staff made sure to wake up extra early and get everything in its proper place, every room cleaned and ready to go for tonight. To say she was nervous was an understatement: being the manager was different than her normal duty as hostess. Keeping the customers happy, making sure the food goes out properly and hoping that she wouldn't fall flat on her face would be top priority.

Finally the moment had arrived and the doors to the Amagi Inn opened, the new manager stepping out with a warm smile.]

Welcome everyone, to the Amagi Inn. I hope you take tonight to enjoy yourselves and relax. Whatever you may need, we will be happy to accommodate you.

[If you're a couple, you will notice that there is a discount for tonight. If you are someone who replied to Yukiko's earlier post about her pyro jack problem, the front desk will tell you that your bill is taken cared of for the night. Just don't go overboard.

Stepping inside the inn will remind some of the more traditional side of Japan. Unless you count finding a ping pong table tucked away for stress relief. But what the inn is mostly famous for is their natural hot spring which has been brought to Hinoto-Ri. Fair warning: if someone is peeping, there is free reign to smacking them with endless buckets. Ask the manager and her friends.

And again...we hope you enjoy your stay at the Amagi Inn!]

"Aw, don't worry about me! I could still run a hundred laps around the Inn right now!" It was a bit of a boast, but she just wanted to make sure her friend wasn't worrying about her. That was weird after all, Chie was more comfortable being the worrier.

"Hehe, you're too nice Yukiko," the compliment however was gracefully accepted. Finally Chie turned away from the edge of the water, heading over to where her friend was sitting.

"You think everyone's gonna be okay?" Between the injured and the missing underclassmen, it was a bit of a troubled situation. Things back home were perfectly safe again, having solved the case. The fact that she had walked into what seemed like a whole new case was both frightening and exciting.

No matter what, there will always be worrying. Friends tend to do that a lot and it doesn't get any easier. Honestly, she wanted to tell her about her own worries about everything happening in this place but was too worried on how she would take it. There was really only one person she admitted it to and it was right there in the tea room.

I'm scared.

It took only one sentence to change it all.

That's because... I know I have all of you by my side. I know I can be strong when you're all there.

Yukiko wanted to be strong, for everyone involved. For once, she wanted to protect Chie and not hide behind any excuses.

"...we just have to hope they make it back safe." she whispered as she moved closer to the other girl. Even though this was supposed to be alone time, all the talking made her want her friend even more.

"They're tough too though. Kanji-kun, Naoto-kun, and Rise-chan. I'm sure they'll be able to handle anything that's thrown at them." The fear that Yukiko had was only slightly apparent, even if it was not completely shared by Chie. She was still settling in, and learning about her new home.

Chie let out a yawn, resting against Yukiko, shoulder to shoulder. Maybe the reason why she didn't feel too worried about things was because her best friend was there. If she had any doubts or fears, Chie could always go to Yukiko with them.

"When you guys are back in fighting condition, I want to fight Shadows again. I want to get stronger." Chie had often asked Yu if they could go into the TV World when they had nothing else to do, simply to fight and "level up" as it were. Fighting was dangerous of course, but with Rise backing them up, and Yukiko to heal her she didn't have to worry.

"I know they can. It doesn't stop me though." It's like it's hardwired into her. Instinct or something along those lines. Maybe she would be able to let go of those fears and stop running for once. But then she mentioned going back to training. So no one told her about the monsters or the 13th Hour yet?

"I know monsters have a habit of coming out during the 13th Hour, maybe we'll find something then."

It was like Yukiko, to be the worried mother of the group. And in way, Chie was the father, telling her not to worry that Chie would take care of everything. She had heard about the 13th Hour from Minako, and had figured it was similar to the TV World back home. Which meant monsters they could beat up on to sharpen their skills.

"I know you can't stop worrying, but don't let it bog you down." Chie stretched out her legs underwater, and let out long yawn. It had been a long day, and maybe her boast about being able to run around the inn wasn't so true.

"I'll send them flying, then we can break out the old Twin Dragons again," Chie said laughing. It was nice to be able to spend time with just the two of them, like things were back normal.

"You're right, I'll try not to." the other replied and just let herself lean on her best friend. Sometimes the springs are so relaxing it makes someone want to fall asleep in it. Maybe it's a bad idea after all...

She chuckled a bit upon hearing Chie's suggestion for some of those monsters.

"We can both send them flying."
