vitani meanwhile was checking on the tubs and the supplies of tokens being used " Ok, tub 8 needs 5 bath tokens, and tub 13 needs 3.. she muttered to herself writing things down on the checklist.. i'll have nuka and kovu handle those once they're done with breakfast..

Kovu and Nuka looked over the breakfast menu.

"So much looks good," Nuka grinned.

"Bring us each one of the breakfast meats," Kovu smiled to Wildcat.

"Oh great, more good news," Charlie replied with an annoyed tone. "Annabelle's gonna have my hide if she finds me 'round here with demons and lost kids all over the place, and not doing anything about it..."

"Does that mean you'll help us?" Kura asked.

"Might as well... I think I'll be needing another saki before we go spirit searching."

Kura nodded and turned back to the cubs. "Then it's settled. We would like to purchase rooms if there are any available."

"Certainly," Kovu nodded while he and Nuka waited for the meals to arrive.

"We'll give you the nicest ones possible," Nuka added.

"That's what I'm talking about," Genta grinned.

"Though some of you will have to share a room," Kovu informed.

Wildcat soon came by with a large platter of meats for ziras boys ' here you go guys.. he said setting it down before the two lions.. as vitani came up to them.. ' we need you guys to restock the bath tokens once you're done eating She said looking at them..

tempestwheel · **Reply #305 on:** May 07, 2012, 02:00:35 AM

"We'll take care of it," Kovu nodded, as he began eating the meat.

Though they were just cubs, and did stil work in their mother's bathhouse, Zira made something clear: If you tried to harm or tick off her precious Nuka, Vitani, and Kovu...you're pretty much screwed.

"There's four of us, and two rooms," Genta said, "How shall we split that up?"

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #306 on:** May 07, 2012, 03:31:59 AM

Shirigume immediately replied. "If I had to, I'll share with Kura. No offense, Charlie."

"None taken, but I think you're missing out," Charlie winked.

Red still resides in the bath tub, when Desoto returned.

"It's in a safe place," Desoto said. "No one else but the mistress can be able to get their claws on it now."

"Good," the feline replied. "Since I'm in a pleasant mood, I think I'll be staying 'round for a while. No need to rush all the way home just for a meal you can only eat once. By the by, what's the news around here?"

"Just some human kids working here now..."

"Interesting..."

"And don't you think that you can get them that easily. The mistress herself has been working them personally."

"Ah, but remember. Even the good mistress can make a deal with a devil once in a while..."

Desoto smirked and shook his head. "It's your neck, not mine. I'll be keeping an eye on things nearby. Something feels odd in the air." And with nothing more to say, Desoto leaves...

"Then I guess we're roommates, buddy," Genta chuckled heartily, the tiger sumo spirit giving Charlie a nudge on the head.

Both demons and angels were frequent visitors to the bathhouse, and the two, while not always getting along, did come to at least tolerate each other's presence and eventually considered Zira's bathhouse to be a place of neutrality.

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

"So good,": Nuka chuckled, after his meal. He rubbed his full gut.

Kovu had given Charlie's group their room numbers.

"665 and 664, the upper floors," Genta read.

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

Ri and Ko were busy with their next duties.

"At least the baby is calm down..." Ri noted to her brother.

Charlie almost lost his footing when he was 'nudged' by Genta, but he gave a reassuring smile. But inside, he was disappointed.

"Then we'll have our belongings placed in the rooms and we can go searching the bathhouse," the kirin replied.

tempestwheel · **Reply #310 on:** May 17, 2012, 02:29:12 AM

"So what should we do?" Genta asked Kura and Shirigume, "Head to our rooms and plan our next move? Grab a bite to eat and plan our next move? What do you have in mind?" the tiger sumo spirit wanted to do what he could to help.

tempestwheel · **Reply #311 on:** May 23, 2012, 03:41:30 AM

Kovu and Nuka continued with their assignments.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #312 on:** May 24, 2012, 05:36:57 AM

"Well, I have an option to help widen our ability to search this place," Shirigume suggested. "But I'll need to go to our room so I can prepare my little magic in private."

Kura nodded. "Then I can go around to search while you do that." He then turned to Genta and Charlie. "I know you two have volunteered to assist us in finding our lost soul, but I do know you have come here in the first place to rest. We have no intentions to pressure you into going against your...what's the word...vacation time..."

"Ah, no worries," Charlie replied. "I just got to finish my soak and my saki and I'll join ya."

tempestwheel · **Reply #313 on:** May 24, 2012, 03:34:16 PM

"Same here," Genta smirked, climbing back into the tub. He loved how perfectly warm the water was. "You can really get used to this," he sighed, relaxed. He continued to eat even MORE fish.

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

Ri and Ko awaited their next assignment from Zira.

scar came up to them and handed thier assignment, washing dishes on Floor 5
Scoobi and DEekishi joined the others at the breakfast table, Dekishi had a silet migion, Scoobi feasted on a steak sandwich..

tempestwheel · **Reply #315 on:** May 24, 2012, 10:31:20 PM

Koneko more fish, and Tigashi a massive buffet, being a blob cat.

"We will do our best, Master Scar," Ri bowed respectfully.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #316 on:** May 28, 2012, 06:11:12 PM

As Charlie returned to his own tub, the kirin and kitsune both finished their tea and set out in different directions. Shirigume head to where their rooms are kept, while Kura started to venture around the bathhouse, keeping his gaze about for a little lost spirit...

tempestwheel · **Reply #317 on:** May 28, 2012, 06:14:12 PM

A little while later, after soaking further in the tub and devouring plenty of fish, Genta got out and began to dry off his massive tiger body.

"Ahhh....that hit the spot," he grinned, turning to Charlie. "Are you almost done, or are you ready,or do you want more time?"

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #318 on:** May 30, 2012, 07:42:15 PM

Charlie had dozed off after returning to his bath, and awoke with a snort when Genta called. "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm almost done," he replied, and then proceeded to dry himself off...

----------

Meanwhile, Shirigume is already in one of the rooms reserved for them, sitting down by a short-legged table. She had taken out a small stack of square pieces of paper, and started folding one of them in unusual folds, soon to take a standing shape of a small bird. Once finished, she stood the bird up on her paw pads and gave the origami a gentle blow of her breath. The bird lifted off her paws...and began to flap its wings under its own power, gaining lift and momentum to fly around the room a few times, and then flew straight out the nearby window.

The kitsune, satisfied, put away the rest of the paper stack and got up to leave the room. "Now we got a new set of 'eyes' to help us..." she said to herself as she exited...

----------

Kura calmly walked among the masses of spirits, having already searched three floors below where he and the others were last bathing. He found no sign of the lost spirit, but there has been an unusual minor scent lingering since their arrival which puzzled him. He remembered such a scent as human, but...LIVING humans here?

tempestwheel · **Reply #319 on:** May 30, 2012, 07:48:13 PM

"Our room isn't too far from here, we'll be able to catch up to the others soon," Genta told Charlie.

As the two had left the tub, Genta made a friendly offer. "You seem like a strong-willed spirit. If you want, in your spare time after your job, you could join my sumo spirit troop," the tiger offered, "We could use a few more canine sumos in it......"

Though Genta obviously knew his team's "find the child" goal came first.

Tora was eating just as much food as Scoobi, barely taking drinks before chowing down
