"Yes, lets," Ri smiled, scampering to the bathhouse.

"I heard that Wildcat sir is a good chef."

"i'll be sure to check on them right after breakfast," Kovu nodded, eating some gazelle, which was one of his favorite dishes, "This'll definitely make Baloo and Sneed's jobs easier."

"Thank you," Shirigume said as she and Kura bowed in appreciation, and walked further inside the bathhouse towards the nearest elevator...

----------

Meanwhile, on a different floor, Red was sitting back peacefully in his own bath. The hourglass sitting on the deck within arm's reach. He was near nodding off until...

"Well, well, well..." a voice from the other side of the pool averted the demon cat's attention, to one of Zira's guards, Rosco. "Look at what the hell cat dragged in..."

Red sneered at the remark. "You sound like you'd never wanted to see me again," he said coolly.

"That's my personal opinion, but you are one of Mistress Zira's regular customers, so what can I do?"

"There IS something you can do... On my way over here, I may have been followed from the mortal world. I don't know who, but I want them off my tail, especially while I'm taking my money's worth here."

"Now why would someone chase you to the depths of the earth?"

"THAT is none of your business, but..." Red pointed to the hourglass, which began to levitate into the air. "This needs to be locked up good and tight until I'm ready to leave. Think you can manage all of that?"

The hourglass began to glide across the pool into Rosco's paws. "Simple enough," the Doberman replied, more stern in his voice. "I'll keep it in the usual place. No one but Zira herself could break it open without my help..." He paused to look at the shimmering glow within. "Must be an important midnight snack to want it locked up."

"You can't get any fresher than that, my friend... And I'm going to savor every bit of it..."

The two began an evil chuckle between them...

as Sagwa and Sheegwa continued to deliver letters, Dongwa began his shift as a waiter to the customer spirits.

Now, Zira had no discrimination between Heaven and Hell, so both angels and devils were frequent customers.

"Is there anything I can bring you sir? And are you enjoying your bath?" the young Chinese cat spirit asked the canine who had come down from the Celestial Heavens.

..............................

Kovu had raced down to the boiling room. He saw the coal spirits all around. "My mother has extended your candy breaks," he informed, "And you will be provided more of these rations."

"It's about time," Baloo informed.

Charlie, like Red, was laying back in his pool of scented hot water. "Just great, pal," he replied, "but I could go with a bottle of saki. It took a while to save up enough on the payroll I get." He took a gold nugget and flips it into the air towards the cat spirit...

----------

Kura and Shirigume reached the second floor, and then proceeded down a hall to some empty tubs separated by a wall between them.

When Shirigume and Kura looked at each other, the kitsune smirked and said, "Don't get any ideas..." She walked into the room closest to her.

Kura smiled and shook his head, but his smile faded and he turned to look to the vastness of the bathhouse's interior. This place is much bigger than he expected, and with the many spirits moving about like the circulation of a mortal's bloodstream, it would be next to impossible to find little Riki here. But this was his honor-bound mission, and he'll unquestioningly go to the deepest depths of hell to find the child. Taking a deep breath to release tension, the kirin entered his room between Shirigume's, and the opposite one belonging to an angelic canine...

tempestwheel · **Reply #207 on:** November 17, 2011, 02:36:30 AM

"On my way sis," Kovu nodded quickly rushing upstairs.

Business was booming once again.

.........................

"It'll be coming right up sir," Dongwa assured to Charlie, writing the order on a magic notepad which warped to the kitchen.

"Is there anything I can get you two?" he called to Kura and Shirigume

.......................

Ri and Ko listened for their jobs to be assigned to them by the assistant manager

Nick22 · **Reply #208 on:** November 17, 2011, 02:41:32 AM

tempestwheel · **Reply #209 on:** November 17, 2011, 02:43:51 AM

"I'll be right there," Kovu nodded, giggling at the altered orders, heading up to floor 3, where a lot of demons were enjoying their baths.

Belladonna, the purple hellhound whippet was one of Zira's best customers, and Kovu was happy to serve.

"Hello there Ms. Belladonna, how are you? Is there anyway I can be of help?" the young cub asked

Nick22 · **Reply #210 on:** November 17, 2011, 02:49:02 AM

belladonna was very much enoying the waer which she had magically heated up to 350 degrees.. just give me a minute please ' she said as she reflected on what she had done prior to coming here she had been overseeing another incoming slew of condemned souls
most were sent to be tormented but some were to be assigned to the reghions of the netherworld
there were c9 levels of hell compared to 10 with heaven. belladonna spent most of her time with her master in the 9th and deepest area..

tempestwheel · **Reply #211 on:** November 17, 2011, 02:50:46 AM

"Ok, I can wait," Kovu nodded respectfully. Being a hellhound, Belladonna liked the water hot. "I take it your job has been going well?" he smiled

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #212 on:** November 17, 2011, 03:23:26 AM

Kura was looking at the tub of fresh scented water when someone was talking to him and Shirigume. "No thank you," he replied. "We should be good for now." He closed the curtains to the walkway and got to taking off his clothing.

He first laid a towel down next to the pool, for which he placed his swords on top of it. All he wore next was his samurai's kimono, which he removed and hung it on the wall nearby, and then he calmly stepped into the heated water, soon seating himself comfortably in the tub...

Shirigume was already in her tub, relaxing as the herbs in the water soothed any aches she had. Her sword is also within arm's reach...

(OOC: Just to note, Kura's and Shirigume's bodies are PG-13 only. Nothing explicit.)

tempestwheel · **Reply #213 on:** November 17, 2011, 03:36:47 AM

Down in the kitchen, the order of saki for Charlie appeared in front of Wildcat.

"A traditional drink of this place," the feline smiled, pouring a glass filled of the beverage for the paying customer from heaven. When it was complete, he used his magic to send it back to Charlie.

...................................

Meanwhile, Genta, a tiger sumo spirit had also taken a tub, and was relaxing as the water covered his fur.

"This is to be my vacation spot forever," he chuckled to himself, in the bath next to Charlie's.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #214 on:** November 17, 2011, 05:33:31 AM

"You said it," Charlie replied, overhearing someone next to him, and picked up his glass of saki.

Kura, soaking his scales in the soothing water, also overheard. "You come here before?" he asked.

"As often as I could," Charlie called back. "Your first time, pal?"

"You could say that."

"Trust me, you'll keep coming back."

Doubtful, Kura thought to himself as he sat there...

tempestwheel · **Reply #215 on:** November 17, 2011, 01:58:26 PM

Genta stretched relaxed, sinking into his tub a bit.

Whether it be something in the water, or just the mood of the bathhouse, it made customers want to come back for more.

"Ah, dinner's arrived," he grinned, seeing a plate full of sushi appear in front of him. He gave the gold bits in payment.

tempestwheel · **Reply #216 on:** November 18, 2011, 01:54:18 AM

Sagwa had tended to the tub where Red was currently relaxing.

"Is there anything we can get you?" the cat spirit asked the Hell cat calmly.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #217 on:** November 18, 2011, 05:05:57 AM

Red was examining his claws when he was asked the question. "There is one thing I need," he answered. "These talons need honing. How about a manicurist? One that the house wouldn't mind if it happens to be...disposable?"

----------

Shirigume was enjoying her time, often dipping her head underneath the water to get all of her fur soaked, until she stopped suddenly, sensing a presence in her space. She eyed her sword by the tub...

----------

There was a pause in silence when Charlie restarted the conversation with the stranger in the next space. "The name's Charlie. What's yours, pal?"

"Um...Kurago," the kirin replied.

"Interesting name. You said this is your first visit. How far out-of-town you live?"

"A ways. I don't go out much."

"Oh. There a reason why you come here now?"

"There is. It's sort of personal..."

"Hey, your secret is your secret. I don't meddle."

"Thanks..."

tempestwheel · **Reply #218 on:** November 18, 2011, 12:41:23 PM

"Yes sir, I'll get one right away," Sagwa nodded, heading back out to the hallway.

She pressed a button to communicate with Vitani. "Hey Vitani, it's Sagwa, do we have any manicurists available? Red is asking for one."

.........................................

"I'm Genta," the sumo tiger spirit called next to Charlie, "I live around 100 miles away from here. I've taken up sumo wrestling as my career, gives me an excuse to pig out," he chuckled lightly.

Nick22 · **Reply #219 on:** November 20, 2011, 02:19:57 AM

Manicurists? try Level 4, we usually have a couple on staff, just get him whatever he wants, but make sure he pays.. We don't do things for free here' Vitani said.. I don't care if he is one of higher demons down there, we still need the money, or mom takes it out of our hides..
