A Cosy Vacation In An Underworld

[Raleigh]

I understand its rather popular. *Rei takes a seat and orders three different kinds of tea.* Doesn't Rin have a bar and grill or something too?

[Blaze]

"Hmm... I don't much like rice wine. I'll have any other kind of wine thank you." Jean says with a smile

She turns her head in the direction of the commotion and smiles.

"It's nice to hear people down here have fun."

[KonokoHasano]

"I'll have some Jasmine Tea, please." Usagi said as she sat down, looking around. Her ears twitched a bit at the commotion.

(( Might as well get this going again! ))

As Yuugi sips her sake tentatively, the bartender glances at Raleigh's comment. "Oh, the kasha? She's been quite busy lately, I hear, but not with a restaurant..."

Yuugi hmms. "That could be trouble..." she murmurs.

Meanwhile, the oni bartender serves the requested teas, pulling out a rather dusty bottle of wine for Jean, pouring it into a cup for her. Probably not the most classy way to serve wine, but beggars can't be choosers! "So... what brings you all here?" the bartender asks curiously. "We don't get many guests from outside of the city..."

"Yes... why don't you explain why you're here?" another woman's voice says from behind you!

[Blaze]

[Hooray! :3]

Jean takes the inelegantly served wine with a smile and sips it, smiling at the bartender.

"Utsuko invited me, and I love seeing new places!" she says happily, turning around to look at the source of the voice behind her

[KonokoHasano]

"I wanted to visit as well." Usagi supplied. "Never really been to an underworld before, and so I was curious." Takes a drink of her tea.

[Raleigh]

I wanted to collect samples from the Former Hell of Blazing Fires.

[Jello Shot Mischa]

As Jean and Usagi turn around, they find themselves confronted by a young woman with pink hair, wearing a dress with a floral pattern. One of her arms is wrapped in bandages, and she studies the group with a stern expression on her face.

"Mmm, the Former Hell? I think the satori's been taking care of that, so you'd probably have to ask her to see it," Yuugi says nonchalantly, before giving the newcomer a fanged smile. "And it seems the hermit has come out of her cave to say hello," she murmurs.

"Had enough fun traipsing around on the surface?" the other woman says, glowering at Yuugi. "Don't you have any sense of responsibility?"

Yuugi hmphs. "I don't need to hear a lecture, particularly from a hermit," she mutters, before glancing at the woman. "... Why? Is there something going on?" she asks.

[Blaze]

Jean gives the pink-haired woman a smile.

"Hello there. My name is Jean!"

[KonokoHasano]

"And I'm Usagi Hasano."

[Raleigh]

Hello Kasen Ibara. I assume that is your name anyway. I have several names but the locals call me Raleigh.

[Jello Shot Mischa]

The woman with the pink hair glances at Raleigh. "Hmm, so it seems at least some people have heard of me. You may call me Ibaraki, though." She glances at the other two. "A pleasure to meet you. I hope you have been enjoying your visit to the Ancient City?"

[Blaze]

Jean nodnods and beams at Ibaraki

"Very much so, thank you." ^_^

[KonokoHasano]

"I have yeah." Usagi said, nodding. "The place is really neat."

[Raleigh]

I make it a habit to know of all the hermits, sages, and so on in an area I live in just in case.
