[ As the game starts, the kitchen vanishes under your feet. You find yourself in a small room with no furnishings besides a simple chest with drawers and a low table surrounded by pillows in the colors of the two teams. Kiriko's voice comes from inside your head, as usual, though she's not in the room with you. There is no food on the table, but there is plenty of sake, as well as cups, dishes, and bowls. There are also ten gold pieces. ]

Hello. Today, I have five tasks for you. You may complete them quickly, or you may complete them slowly. But while you decide, please make yourselves at home.

❀ Task One

[dramatispersonae]

There are a family of cranes who have come seeking shelter. They are poor and can only pay with the feathers plucked from their flesh. The cost to give them a room is one gold piece, which they will pay with the feathers of one wing. Should you be the ones to serve them, you will receive the equivalent in gold of what they pay. If not you, another shall. Will you serve them? What will you take from them?

If they take all the feathers from one wing, how will they be able to fly afterwards?

And taking feathers from their wings is like requiring humans to pay for lodging with a pint full of blood.

*raises both eyebrows at him, over the cup*

Hello, you. We were missing you last night!

Re: ❀ Discussion

[aprettygirl]

On the other hand, it's not particularly fair for them to take a room for free. Lodging and service is a business, after all!

But a lighter price, a lighter price.

[you, miss, are getting hugged!]

Much lighter. Perhaps manual labor? They could clean dishes in the kitchen.

*whoop! raises her sake cup in the nick of time, looping her other arm around him*

What's this...?

Re: ❀ Discussion

[aprettygirl]

Or entertainment. They have multiple options, depending what they feel they're best at!

Re: ❀ Discussion

Labor would certainly be the most cost-efficient for us. There's always work to do at an inn.
