An RP for those that are Here

[tin]

Tin had returned, having arranged a quiet room for her to reside in on one of the upper floors. "Your room has been prepared, Arashiko-sama," he said, bowing slightly to her.

[stormchild]

"Thank you Tin. Which way am I to go?" She waited patiently, disliking slightly not knowing her way around, and finding herself feeling like she should be doing something.

[tin]

Tin nodded. "This way, miss," he said, leading her towards the elevator. He headed up with her and to the quieter rooms. Moving down the hallway, he slid open the door and bowed for her to enter.

[stormchild]

Arashiko followed, looking around happily. Bowing lightly, she entered the room and inspected it.

"This is wonderful, thank you."

Walking over to the window, she looked out over what she could see of the grounds and sat, looking to what she assumed were the gardens.

[tin]

Tin bowed once more. "If you need any thing more, please pull on the corded rope by the door and I will be up immediately to help you," he said, gesturing to where it was. Bowing once more, he closed the door and headed back down to the rest of the bath house in order to continue his duties.

[stormchild]

"Thank you Tin." Stormchild smiled and nodded, then returned her gaze to the garden, looking carefully and pondering the way the energy seemed to moved, curious about the other areas, but content to rest for now. Counting her money carefully, she wondered how long she would be able to afford the rest before having to go back to work... or whether she really wanted to return to it.

[tin]

Tin went downstairs and took a shortcut through the kitchen where he grabbed a cup of rice as he passed a table. Heading down to the boiler room to eat in at least a bit of piece, he took a seat on some stairs and sat quietly eating. With the bowl clear, he got up and peeked out a window to see what the waether was like.

It was rare for him to get to see outside the bath house as he was always very limited in time. The night sky made it hard for him to see anything beyond the lights of the Ghost Town but at least it was something.

[stormchild]

Stormchild spied a bit of light bobbing and floating, and got up to go investigate it better. Stepping out on the porch, the light revealed itself to be a firefly. Squealing in childish delight, she leaned against the railing and held out her hands, trying to call the creature to her.

The firefly had little interest in perching on her outstretched hands, but that didn't stop the girl from stretching and reaching, still trying to call it to her and temporarily forgetting how high up she was. At last, she stretched a little too far and toppled over the railing.

Arashiko couldn't help the scream, or forgeting in her surprise that as a rain bringer and thus being able to meld with storms... she also could fly. So having forgotten that she could indeed fly, she fell, plummetting right into a bush below the window, which broke her fall. Unfortunately for her, she landed in an undignified sprawl, something that she usually tried to avoid.

She would need a moment to catch her breath and get her wits around her again. Meanwhile, the firefly perched on her nose. Crossing her eyes, she looked at it.

"You..."

[tin]

Returning to his duties, Tin grabbed his brush and started to scrub the next tub he was assigned to. Much of the time he cleaned the tubs after a guest had used it. So this was really his easiest job. He hadn't heard anything of the pull rope, so he had some time before he might be summoned again.

[stormchild]

Finally getting herself out of the bush after a bit of thrashing, Stormchild straightened her clothing out as well as she could and looked around, hoping that no one saw her fall. She seemed to be alone, which was good... Maybe.

It all depended on how well she could find her way back to her room, and she was quite certain that the firefly wasn't going to help.

Taking a deep breath, she made her way back into the building and began to do her best to retrace her steps.

[tin]

Moving about tending to his other duties, word finally made it back to Tin through some of the other workers that the girl he had served earlier seemed to be a bit lost. Thanking them for letting him know, he left his task and rushed off to find her. If she was lost and couldn't find her way back to her room, and Yu-Baaba found out... Boy would he be turned into a pig... or a frog worker pretty fast.

Heading around the stairs and then the various elevators, he eventually found Arashiko. Upon finding her, he bowed deeply to her. "Please forgive me for not coming to help you sooner," he panted, incredibly out of breath.

[stormchild]

Arashiko was having a conversation with a rather portly daikon radish spirit... or perhaps more politely nodding her head as the spirit spoke in a very low plant voice. Basically, she looked quite lost and brightened considerably when Tin found her.

"Tin! Finally someone I recognize. I... got lost..."

She didn't add about the conversation about seasonal rainfall the radish spirit pulled her into, not that she minded.

The firefly continued to be a nuisance, insisting on perching on her nose no matter how many times she waved it away, still embarrassed that she fell.

[tin]

Tin smiled at her and then bowed to the radish spirit. "Pardon me sir. I need to take Arashiko-sama back to her room," he said, bowing to him and then gesturing to leave with Arashiko. Although Tin didn't mind being around the radish spirit, he could tell that Stormchild had probably been talking to him for quite some time.

"This way mi'lady," he said.

[stormchild]

"Thank you. Sorry to be such a bother."

The firefly stubbornly clung to her nose when she tried to shoo it away again, causing an obvious distraction for her as she walked and memorized the correct path.

"Interesting wildlife you have around here."

At that, the firefly zipped off toward her room, remembering where it was. Arashiko didn't have a good feeling about that.

[tin]

Tin smiled, stopping at the door of Arashiko's room. He opened the door for her and bowed. "Is there anything else I can do for you?" Tin wanted to be as helpful to her as possible. If he wasn't, Yu-Baaba would definitely turn him into a frog worker.
