Let's just make this about Spirated Away, to make it simple for a plot. Even if you haven't gotten your character approved, let's just rp, for the sake of rping to get this board active once more.
It'll just be a "typical" day in the Bath House. And that's where we'll start. Sound good to you all that have been checking the board here?

Tin sighed, looking at the sunset from the window he currently stood near. Observing the sun, he turned seeing that it was time to get cleaning. Everyone was already grabbing breakfast and starting their daily chores. With his belt already outfitted with his usual cleaning items, he hurried to where he normally started his cleaning routine. Many of the other workers were rushing about wanting to get their duties done as quickly as possible for the sake of grabbing food before it was all gone.
Grabbing his scrub brush, he started to work on one of the tubs that he was generally assigned to.

OOC: Sounds good!
---- IC:
Stormchild walked through the town, enjoying the changing colors of the sunset as she made her way to the bath house. Checking her obi, she smiled softly, reassured that her gold was still in the hidden pouch. Before long, she was walking over the bridge, treading so quietly that she seemed to whisper across, bowing to the female greeters that were already coming to the bridge.
In the lobby, she looked around shyly, wondering what to do next as she had never been to an onsen before, much less the famous Aburaya. Neverously, she pulled out her pouch.

Tin glanced up, seeing that the greeters were already heading to their posts. He scrubbed faster, hoping to get finished... but also at the same time, he prefered cleaning to tending to a customer. Watching them, he saw that a newcomer had entered and was needing to be escorted to a clean tube. His wasn't quite there yet, but he could take her to a place that probably was by now.
Looking around he hoped someone else would get to her, but if he didn't see anyone else approach her in the next 30 seconds, he would attend to her needs.

Stormchild continued to look around, waiting for an attendant, but it looked like so far everyone was busy with their tasks. Perhaps her small size made her easy to overlook in the hustle and bustle, or perhaps someone thought that she might be the child of one of the others coming in. She wasn't sure.
She did know that smelling hot water was a very welcome thing, and that she wasn't in any hurry... she'd done far too much of that before coming to be rejuvenated. After noticing one of the workers looking at her and then glancing around, she bobbed her head shyly in his direction.

Tin smiled at her. Setting down his brush and other cleaning items, he got up and made his way over to where she was. Normally he wouldn't be tending to customers, but as most of the attendents were busy, he figured he could do it. It's not like he hadn't done so before, he just preferred to be cleaning most of the day. Approaching her, he bowed.
"How may I serve you today, miss?"

She bowed politely and smiled.
"I am rather dehydrated and low on energy, and my last tasks have left me more weighted down from the regretful impurities that hang in the air over the cities. A purifying bath, restorative food, and a place to rest after would be most welcome."
Withdrawing an amount of gold from her pouch, she displayed what she hoped would be enough, unsure of pricing.

Tin nodded, leading her to where some clear baths were located. He got the water started after having grabbed a bath token from the foreman. Bowing to Stormchild he gestured to the bath.
"Go ahead and relax. I will bring you your food and get you a room to stay in," he said.

Stormchild bowed.
"Thank you."
With a sigh, she prepared herself for the bath and slipped into the hot water. Getting as far under as she could, she rested, peering at everything with her eyes just above the water.

Tin disappeared into the kitchen for some time before he returned with a tray for Storm's food. Every plate was piping hot and prepared specially to her request. All the restorative power would definitely help her relax and feel renewed.
"Here you go, ma'am. The best in the Bath House," he said, smiling.

She inhaled appreciatively and smiled, already feeling better just from the vapors of the food and knowing that meant she would be feeling even better once she started eating.
"Thank you. I'd thank you by name, but I've neglected to ask."
Not quite feeling ready to leave the water yet, she nibbled a little from where she was. "I don't have a proper name, I was called Storm Child once, and Arashiko by one of the elder miko at an old shrine before that... so I answer to whatever is easiest."
Despite her dainty nibbles trying to make up for her perceived rudeness of eating in the tub, the various dishes disappeared quickly.

Tin nodded, bowing to her deeply. "Forgive me for not informing you earlier. My name is Tin," he said, rising from his bow. He remained there as she ate and relaxed in the bath.
"May I get you more, Arashiko-sama?"

"Arigato Tin. A little more fish would be welcome. Then... maybe a place to cool off..."
She handed him some gold in thanks for the thoroughness of his care, even though she knew it was part of his job, Then ducked her head under the hot water happily. It wasn't often that she got to be in hot water.
She hoped she didn't get stuck when she was ready to get out.

Tin accepted the gold and bowed to her before he left. He placed the payment with the proper foreman and then disappeared to get her more fish. While making arrangements, he also found a room for Arashiko that she could relax in.
Returning to her bath with a plate of fish, he set the tray down carefully. "Is there anything else I can get you, Arashiko-sama?"

She had gotten out of the bath and prepared herself before he returned, and kneeled to eat carefully.
"This will do wonderfully, thank you." Arashiko smiled and quickly ate her food. "I must admit that I am eager to see what the rooms look like."
She glanced around, the bathhouse sounding busier now that it was later into the night, the noise beginning to be a little overwhelming to someone prefering to stay away from populated areas except for her work.
