Characters: All the Heroes of Light and their Moogles.
Where: Order's Sanctuary, The Interdimensional Rift and their Homeworlds.
When: August 03rd - August 30th

Summary: Following the battle against Palitutu, all the Heroes of Light were transported into the Interdimensional Rift. They were told by Palitutu they would have to find her to prove they can break the cycle-- But before they could reach their destination, a malevolent entity from the Rift stripped them from their immortality...

And now, they woke up in a decaying and dying world, most specifically in a place called Order's Sanctuary. From there they are ready to jump... Into their homeworlds! Feel free to use this post for the Mingle at Order's Sanctuary and should your homeworld be the stage for the Heroes of Lights' next adventures, feel free to make a thread for it and as many sub-thread as necessary! Please refer to the OOC Post for questions and plotting.

Warning: Whatever you come up with.

[Chrom nods solemnly to K'pandolu.]

A foul magic caused phantasmal or dead warriors to rise, attacking all they encounter. We're not entirely certain from whence they came, but things have been quiet since we made peace with Plegia.

[So it's possible that King Gangrel was responsible for their presence. Yuna's compliment earns a warm smile from Chrom. He chuckles.]

I cannot claim any credit for her beauty. But I am proud of this halidom nonetheless. You have my thanks.

[He looks forward. Whatever's ahead seems too small to be a proper town, but there may be a small settlement. What disturbs him are the plumes of white steadily rising from the area.]

Is that smoke...? We must hurry!

[Chrom rushes forward, drawing his sword. If the village is on fire, then it's up to them to evacuate everyone within.]

[But that's not what they find. Chrom's mad dash slows once he realizes that it's not smoke, but steam, rising steadily from a large and shallow hot spring next to a prime resort.]

Ah...

[Chrom smiles sheepishly.]

I'm relieved to see I was mistaken. My apologies for making you run, K'pandolu, Yuna.

[it definitely sounds suspicious. Still, if things are settled, no sense in bringing that up. Besides, there may be other matters- though she's glad enough to see it's not really that much trouble, and she shakes her head at Chrom, offering a smile.]

No- not to worry. Better to run and find nothing wrong. Besides, this means we can stay here for a little longer, doesn't it?

I confess, I could do with a rest and a meal.

[His smile is tired, but warm. They've been traveling through portals for a long time, and he'd certainly like to pass just one night in his home world.]

What of yourselves? I would not wish to waste time simply for the sake of my own homesickness, but if you wish, we may stay here for the night and continue our search in the morning.

[OOC: Have some inn downtime and CR, or head straight into the hot springs battle?]

If it's as calm here as it seems… I wouldn't mind taking the opportunity.

[she can see that, and- well- certainly she wouldn't mind it herself, nor trying the hot spring.]

[ooc: bit of downtime and CR sounds good!]

( a little out of breath, it was quite a relief to see that it wasn't fire or threat that they came upon... but a rather quaint little inn. and a hot spring too! imagine that. )

I think... staying the night would be nice. ( he mentioned homesickness... how could she deny such a gallant warrior this opportunity? not to mention the call of those hot springs was a little too good to be true. )

Hopefully they'll take our gil... ( she produced a few coins from her sleeve, approaching the building and counting it out. )

We'll see. Depending on who's in charge, we may not need to pay at all. I can also barter some of the items I brought with me if necessary.

[As they approach, a young woman steps out with an eager smile, her red hair bound up in a ponytail. Chrom pauses. ...They'll need to pay.]

'Welcome! It's not every day we get a visit from royalty.'

[The girl giggles, but there's a flash of intelligence and mischief in her eyes.]

Ah...greetings. We'd like a room for the evening, and a hot meal if it can be spared?

'Sure! For the three of you, that comes out to about...hm hm hm~ 60,000, if my estimations are correct!'

S-sixty?!

[Chrom's so shocked that his voice actually cracks a little. But the girl doesn't seem to be budging. If anything, she looks all the more pleased.]

'Sixty thousand, yup! But I might be able to cut you a deal in return for a favor. After all, if you can boost business by an equal amount, I'll consider it fair. What do you say?'

[Hngh. They don't have much choice, do they? They need to rest, and it's not really safe to camp outdoors with so few of them to stand guard and fight the occasional army of Risen.]

...Very well. A favor, then. But we can't linger long, there's pressing business at hand.

'Oh of course! We'll go over the details in the morning. Come on in!'

[She gestures to the three of them before leading the way into the quaint (and very Japanese) inn. The interior is warm and cozy, neatly decorated by someone who's an expert at visual aesthetics. She walks far enough ahead that the others can talk if they wish without fear of being overheard.]

… You don't think they're charging us more because of who you are, do you?

[maybe she's just suspicious, but still.]

I wonder what kind of favour she's thinking about.

( as soon as she had heard the price, yuna had started counting coins, wanting to contribute somehow... though it seemed that 'a favour' would also help to curb the price. she looked up at the other two, from one to the other, wondering with the expression she wore just what sort of 'favour' it might be, too. )

What sort of way would we... be able to boost their business, I wonder?

[Chrom winces. When he speaks, his voice is in a near-whisper. The last thing he wants to do is accidentally offend their host.]

Actually, I believe that's the discounted rate. Reaching this place cannot be easy for the average citizen, so I imagine the trek is almost always made by the wealthy.

[As for what the favor is? He glances between the two, then shakes his head in dismay.]

I'm uncertain. Perhaps we will be asked to pass out fliers to our friends and family and boast of the benefits of the spa.

[Ahead of them, Anna smiiiiiiiiiiles. Oh Chrom, you wish it were that easy. She comes to a stop beside a pair of rooms.]

'Here you are, ladies and gent! Two rooms for your comfort! ...At least, that's what I'd say if I had two vacant rooms available. Looks like you'll have to share. That's not a problem, right?'

[Chrom's pale complexion betrays him viciously as his face begins to turn red.]

I'm not sure that's a wise idea.

[Especially if either of them has a good throwing arm, like Robin did.]

I wouldn't mind sleeping in a cot in the servants' quarters.

[K'pandolu grimaces, ears dropping.]

Well- I suppose that's a good thing for us, then.

[who knows how much work they'd have to do then. She looks dubious at Chrom's suggestion- fliers probably aren't going to do much good for sixty thousand's worth of debt. More likely they'll have to do some entertaining, she suspects, tail flicking at the thought.]

Maybe. Though I'm sure recommendations wouldn't go amiss…

[pugilist training does not involve thrown weapons! …then again, rogue and ninja training does, so maybe Chrom's out of luck after all.

Though K'pandolu's own thoughts aren't in that direction, as she tilts her head in thought.]

We could put up a divider of sorts, though, couldn't we?

( at the news of a single room, yuna didn't seem to falter much. when your life involved a lot of camping with your guardians, well...

besides, chrom just... didn't seem the type to be indecent about it. )

We'll be fine. ( yuna smiles, with an understanding look anna's way, and a follow-up one for chrom. ) We're fortunate enough to have found a room as it is, I'm sure. But...

( her head tilts just slightly... ) Will... you be able to tell what our duties will be exactly? ( it might be best to get it out of the way, right? they had to get looking for a way back... )

'Let's not talk business right now, you all must be tired after your long journey. Just relax, rest, and enjoy your stay, hm~?'

[Anna doesn't seem to give them any other options, sauntering away with a jaunty bounce in her step.]

[Chrom can't say he's especially at ease with this. but he supposes K'pandolu and Yuna aren't really the type to throw things at his head if he does something boneheaded and careless the way he usually does with Robin.]

We can erect a divider of sorts. I apologize if there's any discomfort.

[The room, once entered, looks to be the sort found in a traditional Japanese hot springs resort despite being in a land of high fantasy. The tatami mats on the floor have a little flex to them, and the bedrolls are on comfy mats rather than springy mattresses. Anna must have been anticipating they would come, as there are two women's robes and one for men. A slip of paper on one of the tables indicates the various times for men and women to alternate use of the hot springs, as well as a note as to when they can expect dinner to be ready.]
