Happy Pkunk Holiday!

[Today, and only for today, there is a beautiful pool of water. Next to it, there is a large assortment of different fruits, oat cakes, and many different colors of string. Above the string is a sign:]

Happy Ooidal Flight of the Pelargic Fraternity!
Tie a knot with the string in the fashion you wish, drop it into the water, and let it glow. Your

... fascinating.

[Oh yay ♥]

Are you hungry, at present?

[hardlyboy]

Yes, I was thinking of having dinner soon.

[takeme2urpants]

May I join you?

[hardlyboy]

Certainly.

[takeme2urpants]

[Hooray! ♥ Gonna walk with, then]

[hardlyboy]

[a little confused, but sure]

[takeme2urpants]

[That's a normal reaction]

You are from Japan, yes?

[hardlyboy]

Yes, I am. From the Inaba region.

[takeme2urpants]

How do you find it?

[hardlyboy]

It's usually quiet... people are more prone to forming inter-personal relationships when the population is smaller, so everyone knows each other. Even if you work in the city, as I have, it's only a short train ride to come home. Inaba doesn't have much to boast by, aside from the local Inn run by the Amagi family. All in all, it's fairly unremarkable, even discounting the recent serial murder and kidnapping cases.

But it isn't a bad place to live. I can think of many worse places to grow up in, certainly.

[takeme2urpants]

That sounds rather charming, discounting the murder and kidnapping.

[hardlyboy]

It may be. I suppose I've never thought of it in such terms before.

[takeme2urpants]

Did you enjoy your work in the city?

[hardlyboy]

[nods]

It was satisfying in many ways, but I did miss home.

How long were you away?
