"With no objections, I shall go." Val walked up to Ginger and paused for a moment. "Are you ready girl?" He waited for an affirmative response before he dove in, hands behind his back. He bent down, placed his tongue on her abdomen and licked up the salt. Val moved over to the shot and tossed it back with his mouth. He dropped the glass on the bar top and pressed him lips against Ginger's, pausing to savor her lips for a second before picking up the lime. "Ahhhhhh! That is a powerful drink!" He could feel the drink effecting him already and decided sitting down was a good idea. He sat, but not where he intended, he sat on Yuumi's lap. He stood up almost immediately, face red, after a few seconds when he realized his mistake. "Sorry Yuumi! My mistake!" And Val stumbled to the next available seat. The drink was stronger than he had expected. "Toffee, please see this delivered back to my room." Val undid his sword belt and handed it over to Toffee with his sword. "Drinking like this is no place for weapons such as this." He looked back to Ginger, seeing who was next, remembering the taste on lime on her.

Looking to Juzo amused, "Yes traveler. Have you come to participate?"

Val paying close attention to BJ. "I await your pleasure."

"I'm in." Val nobs and raises his hand. "May I get a rice ball quickly before we start?" Looks back to Yuumi, "How about you miss? Are you up for this?"

Val eyed Yukki in the white tank top for a long moment. Damn she looked good. Best not to interfere with her training, he thought. He still couldn't help but wonder why she seemed so down earlier. A topic for another time perhaps. Val sat down back next to Yuumi, "I intend to enjoy this place while I can. Experience What it has to offer. Who do you think... Excuse me, what do you think you'll do? You seem like a strategic thinker, unless I missed my geuss."

Val kept going until he got as low as her tail bone, he figured that was probably good enough. From there he worked to the side of her hips and half way up her flanks before going back to her back. She felt a lot looser in her back muscles, that was probably good for now, he didn't want to over do it, "How is that? Did you want any more or would you like anything else? You seemed down earlier, why was that?"

It was a small group and I got busy.

Normal Val would probably stop there but with 3 drinks on board now, he kept inching lower, " If it gets too much, say the word." Val continued on to her lower back, looking at her petite waist. He could smell her hair now, it was so nice. "Is there anything else you need to make this evening better princess?"

"There you go! That's the spirit Yukki! I have a whole jug if you feel in the mood for more." Val continued to massage half way down her back, "You're starting to relax, I can feel it. How does this feel is that all right?" In truth the person to person contact felt good to Val as well, after being sealed away for 700 years. He was eating up all the socializing for a change, and on the plus side he thought all the girls were very hot.

Leaning into Yukki from behind and puting both hands on her shoulders, massaging gently "Well I'm not going to force you, it's there if you want it. It's my personal favorite! It supposed to be a paradise here so stay loose. You feel tense princess, relax!"

Val drank the blueberry drink offered him, he drank it slowly but steadily, savoring the taste until it was gone. "Well done Zed, well done indeed!" Next he ordered some apple pie and savored every bite of that as well. Then he drank the tea sent to him by Magnolia. It was extremely refreshing. He was you going to hit on Magnolia, who he found very attractive, but she seemed occupiedwith the conjurer. Looking down the bar he saw Yukki. Val got up slowly and walked over to Yukki with a glass of saké. Feleling a bit buzzed he put one arm around Yukki, and set the saké in front of her. "It's Nigori saké princess, I one of my favorites. Please try some," he said smiling. Glad to have company.

Val was feeling loose of tongue thanks to the saké thus far. "Welcome fellow travelers!" He was happy to be around people, 700 years sealed away, and now this banishment wasn't looking bad at all. The numerous beautiful ladies particularly excited him. He turned to Yuumi, he felt a strange familiarity that he couldn't place. "Welcome Yuumi. You must have an old soul, I feel drawn to you somwehow. If I may?" He reached for Yuumi's hand, his inhibitions gone, pulled it up, and kissed her hand gently before releasing it. He looked to Zeddicus, laighing now, "You there, might I have your name? That is some trick! Black magic?" He also caught Magnolia come and sit near. She look very subdued. "Toffee, would you be so kind as to send a glass of this fine saké to the beautiful doll sitting alone, with my compliments?"

"It was meant just for you actually gorgeous. I was about to propose a toast, if you care to join us? That glass before you is filled with unfiltered Nigori saké of a fine vintage. It was meant for you." Val raises his glass high and looks around, "To new friends, and new experiences!" Winking at Toffee, "KOMPAI!" He downs his second glass of sake. "AHHHH! Such a good bottle, this saké!" Looking to Yuumi, "I am Val of Mount Moiwa, may I compliment your beauty, and ask your name?"

@Lollipop "Hello Toffee. First I raise a glass to thine beauty." He downs the glass of sake and pours himself another. "Do they allow you to drink on the job cuteness?" @PeculiarityVal looks over at the new arrival, "Welcome man. I am Val of Mount Moiwa. I dare say, I like the cut of your jib. Since Destiny has brought us here today, will you join me in a drink? And what is this 'APPLE PIE' you speaks of?"

Val looked at the cherry blossom tree in full bloom in front of the snack bar. The gentle breeze blowing the petals. He turned back to the bar and set out 4 cups, one in front of him, 3 in front of other stools and poured sake into each cup. "I feel like Destiny will find some drinking partners for me this day." Valrei looked back to the girl behind the bar, "What is your name beautiful? What do YOU do for fun around here?" he said smiling slightly.

Valrei walks into the snack bar. Addresses the girl running the place currently, "Miss, I require a jug of saké, preferably nigori unfiltered. Something good chilled. The more the better!"

Val openned the door to his room, and stepped in. "Yes this suits me very well." Weapons and armour displayed around the room. A large comfortable bed off to the other side, Windows to the outside with a pleasant breeze. Yes this would be perfect. He let Yukki see his room but she seemed to be overcome by emotion and retreated to her room. He thought it best to let her go for now. Valrei looked out the window for a bit, he saw Magnolia walking away from the Inn towards the water. He watched in silence until she was out of sight, he stared at the sky for while after. He felt moved to a haiku, "Whispering feathers Flying high over the sky dreaming the blues heart" After a time he went down stairs, seeing a girl dressed in black with a pointy hat. He addressed her, "Greetings traveler. I know not the nature of this place yet, but the Lady of this realm is most welcoming. They can help you at the desk..." With that he gently patted her on the shoulder, "Good luck," and turned and walked out headed to the snack bar. Trying to shake the strongest feeling of deja vu. That girl seemed familiar somehow...

Massage girls by the hot springs? Maybe something to investigate? IDK.

Val watched Yukki's room morph into a large castle room. Something he was familiar with, something he himself liked. Though the elven decorations were different than what he was used to, and the furnishings a little more delicate. "Excellent! A fine room, if I may say. I should inspect mine I suppose..." He lingered by the doorway for a moment, wondering if he would be invited in or if Yukki would prefer to settle in alone. Deciding the later was most likely the case he started to turn to head to his room next door.

Walking with Yukki to the second floor, "If you have need of company, or trouble with the unrefined rif-raf, fair princess, don't hesitate to let me know." Stopping with Yukki in front of her door, interested to see what it might look like within. "Do you mind if I lay eyes upon your room when you enter, your highness?"

"Ah! The second floor! And a room next to royalty, that suits me well. Come princess, may I escort you to your room?"

"An Elf and a princess. How interesting! I am originally from Mount Moiwa in the land of the rising sun." Val looked her over again, noticing the regal bearing, "Might I call on you at some time? I intend to find some food and saké later." Turing to Mint, "Lady Mint, might this establishment have saké available?"

Val smiled to himself, this one has spirit, he thought. He liked that. "Well, miss Yukki, it is a pleasure to meet you," bowing to her. "I did not know your name, as you have only now just given it to me. From which woodland realm do you hail?"

Looking over to Yukki, "Nor have I elf. Most mysterious." Looking back to mint, raising one eyebrow when she names herself Lord of the Realm. "So I was banished to a realm out of normal time and space? An ageless paradise you say? Very well. I too shall take a room, Lady Mint. Are these rooms of finite space? Or does space time warp around them as well? I have had dealings with various black magic before..." Val signed the guest register.

Valrei eyes Yukki up and down with curiosity. Then walks over with Mint, sincerely speaking, "I am Val of Mount Moiwa. To which level of the underworld have I been banished? Who is the Lord of this realm?"
