[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!]

[See someone across the way? Are they with someone they shouldn't be or is it just odd seeing them there?]

[HEY!

STOP PEEPING!

All hot spring threads under here.]

[Want to go a few rounds? Did your little cousin just ask if you were a pervert? Or maybe just blow off some steam? Play a game or three. ~~Get the popcorn if someone decides to make it more challenging.~~]

[Spending time with that special someone is really nice. Or perhaps you're in a group of friends that are bored and want to play a game...or try and sneak into someone else's room.

*If things start to get above PG-13, let me know and follow the rules of the game, ok?*]

Technically, Latooni lived somewhere with its own (artificial) hot springs. That didn't mean she couldn't check this one out. If nothing else, it would be interesting to see if the water in an imported landmark was different from Hinoto-Ri's normal city water.

There wasn't even anyone like Garnet here to tell her she shouldn't bring a small beaker in with her. This was an excellent hot springs.

Science aside, though, Latooni is relaxing, towel clad, in the water, trying to relax and let that help her think about the puzzle of everyone who'd gone missing. And what that deal with Nano was the other day. Of course, to an outsider, she's pretty much just staring off into space...

The sliding door leading to the hot springs opened, and Gale walked in calmly, naked, towel in one hand. ~~And yes, his hair down there was as green as the one on his head.~~ It seemed he was unaware it was not the men's turn yet...

That's. But. Haven't. Shouldn't. What.

Right. There was a specific protocol for when something like this happens. After finally managing to shut her eyes (tightly), Latooni memorized Gale's location, turned to grab the nearest bucket (or was it some kind of wash basin? She wasn't sure), and in one fluid motion hurled it directly at Gale's position with the precision of someone who studies ballistics for fun.

"Uwahhhhh! It's like a swimming pool!"

Orihime had no objections to striking up a conversation with the first person she'd come across in the inn. Despite her reservations about spending her money on unnecessary things, the allure of a new experience was too much to resist. She'd always wanted to visit a hot spring, but Karakura Town didn't have anything like that.

She submerged her foot in the water, testing the temperature, before slowly easing herself down into the spring with a blissful sigh. It was even better than she'd imagined.

"You decided to come too?" she inquired, curious about the other lady who had decided to visit the spring tonight.

Fortunately for him, Gale dropped the towel and caught the bucket with the reflexes of a man born to be a supersoldier. "The springs are not yours alone to enjoy," he pointed out, the slightest hint of irritation in his voice.

Oh wow, this guy was good. She'd have to talk to him again when she wasn't squeezing her eyes shut out of embarrassment.

"Um, but, I..." She had seen things young ladies were not meant to see, she was sure of it.

"I don't think you're supposed to be in here!" she said, as loud as she ever really shouted. "C-could you at least put on a towel?"

Latooni looked at the strange woman for a moment before responding. "Er, yes, I wanted to see what it was like," she said.

Wasn't there something she was supposed to do? Oh, right. "My name is Latooni Suvota, Miss...?"

Gale picked up the towel again, setting the bucket down. This was for wearing? Very well. He wrapped it around his hips, holding the ends with one hand.

"Why should I not be here? It says the springs are for guests. I am a guest."

Ruri was used to the artificial springs on her ship, so she was a bit curious how the natural or at least terrestrial ones here were. Sitting in the water and opening up a screen she sunk into the water playing a video game.

"Hrm..."

She opened one eye...okay, she could handle a lot of skin, just not...that.

"I-I think these are supposed to be separated by gender. Women use the baths now and...er...men..."

Well, it could be worse. This could have happened like a year ago.

"I see... Men are to use the springs later. Is that what you mean?"

[Nano's been looking forward to this ever since she'd first heard about the inn from Yukiko shortly after its appearance. She's seen hot springs and traditional Japanese inns on television before, but this is her first time seeing the real thing up close!

One might think that, as a robot, Nano doesn't need to take baths. And while that's technically true, there's nothing stopping her either, so she figures it'll be fun to relax a little for a change.

Giggling cheerfully, she makes her way back toward the hot springs area, towel wrapped around her and carrying a small wooden bucket full of soap and shampoo. Her eyes are as wide as saucers as she marvels at pretty much everything she encounters along the way.]

Wow... this place is incredible!

[Ever see that scene in Forrest Gump where he's practicing ping-pong against the wall? Yeah, that's pretty much what Nano looks like right now. She doesn't have a partner, but decided it looked like fun, so she's just bouncing the ball back and forth at lightning speeds with all the precision of a professional.]

[Yu paused outside the entrance to the Inn, looking up at the building. Strange; he had only been to the Inn twice before, but seeing it in this place made it almost feel like he was back home... back in Inaba. He paused, glancing out to the street and the unfamiliar surroundings, before letting out a breath.]

[After a moment, he walked up to the entrance, leaning on his cane for support as he opened the door.]

Man, how come I gotta wear one too..

[ Chie had shown up early to help with the opening, wanting to be there to help her best friend. She was so excited to help, as it was the first thing time she was feeling useful since arriving. However, she hadn't been exactly on board with wearing a Yukata. She was nervous enough wearing one back in Inaba, but this place was much bigger, and she hardly knew anyone yet! But she couldn't turn down Yukiko, so she had gotten ready with her friend and even looked pretty and feminine.

Once the opening started, Chie ran back and forth running little errands for Yukiko, acting as her right hand. That didn't stop her from complaining quietly to herself. ]

[...this was seriously the best way to enter the inn: seeing Chie helping out like this. He paused, allowing himself a privately amused smile, before he cleared his throat to get her attention.]

[ As much as a battle hungry carnivore Chie can be, she's a bit jumpy, especially in an awkward situation like that. When she hears the sudden noise behind her she feels her body stiffen up for a second as she turns around, with her brightest and most acomadating smile she can fake on her face. ]

C-Can I help you-- Yu-kun! [ She hadn't expected him of all people, and she instantly starts to worry that her yukata isn't straight or that her hair looks stupid. ]

[Chie, you're beautiful, stop that.]

Good to see you again, Chie.

[He paused, glancing around. He guessed Yukiko would be busy, now that she was the manager, but it was a bit of wishful thinking that she'd be doing greeting duty.]

Are you just helping out for today?

Y-You too! And you look a lot better than last time I saw you! I'm sure you'll be in fighting condition in no time!

[ It's a bit of wishful thinking, but she knows that Yu is the toughest person she knows. He's courageous and smart unlike anyone else. So even though he's injured, she knows he'll be okay really soon. ]

Yeah, I told Yukiko I'd do whatever she needed from me!

[Thankfully he missed the bigger greeting earlier: given the fact that he's still recovering, the excessive happiness might have set him back to the hospital. So far the initial rush slowed down just a little but enough to keep the staff on their toes. Strange how taking the manager position made Yukiko seem calmer instead of running around like a chicken with their head cut off.

As she made her round to the front desk, she heard the door open followed by footsteps.]

Hello there! Welcome to-

[...hold on, that's not a customer. It looked like a bowlcut with a cane. Why is he up??]

Yu-kun!

I've been doing a lot better; won't be long before everything is back to normal.

[Everyday he went out to walk, he felt less and less tired afterwards. He knew he would be back to his top condition in no time.]

How have you been holding up?
