I. some of u act like murder is such a big deal

[Are you ever just doing cryptid shit for like a century, and then one day you close your eyes and when you open them, the fucking sand is WHITE and COLD and there are TREES? Who fucking authorized this. Where the fuck is this.

For all that Nai wonders what's going on, as you do when dropped in an unfamiliar location where the temperature has gone from "scorching hot" to "Antarctica before Earth fucking died"... he sure isn't showing that on his face. Actually, it might be hard to see his face considering his hood is up and he's sort of just. Standing there. Staring up at the inn, ominously locking eyes with a creature on the roof. Some kind of monster in the middle of nowhere, no doubt, but what.

Idle observations are going to lead him to standing here with his grippers out for FREE for quite a while, in some attempt to take stock of the situation. Human civilization (gross), creature on the roof (glowing), flora abound, what looks like a? moose? animal?, a dog, it's cold... not a human in sight yet, though. Is the place abandoned?

(No, no it's not, you have two minutes of wandering/standing/scientific observation left to do before someone comes to try to put shoes on you, buddy. And like an actual coat that isn't made of knives.)]

II. due to personal reasons i will be named an enemy of the state

[Super cool and fun facts: Apparently, whatever this place is dampens abilities. Like, severely dampens them. Suppresses them, even! Almost completely! Guess How He Found Out. Take a Wild Guess.

(The answer is that he attempted, in no uncertain terms, to cut the inn into molecules and realised he could only really wield maybe a fifth of his power, if that, and he might have also Wolverined the inn wall in frustration.)

(Sorry not sorry if you see him Wolverine-ing the wall. Nai is being 100% normal about this and it's You who is wrong.)

Fine. If he can't obliterate this place, whatever, he's going into the woods and he's going to do what everyone else has attempted this month and Try To Leave. This can only go so well for him, he's inevitably going to wake up something in the woods, but he'll be fine. He's Millions Fifties Knives, he's got this. (Please stop him.)]

Oh, yes, a few months at this point. I'm not too good with time, though, so I couldn't tell you the exactly amount... Anyway, I can show you around, if you'd like? Maybe introduce you to people. [ Who knows! Maybe they'll run into Vash and he can be like "Look who I found in the Wilderness!" or something - because that wouldn't go wrong at all, clearly.

Anyway, he's going outside, so hopefully Nai follows him. He's not going to reach for his hand this time. ] So this is the general store, but right across the way here is the therapy building. There's a bunch of stuff in there if you're ever feeling stressed, or just wanna get into some games!

[ He twists around to point at the inn next door. ] And, you should have a room in here already if you don't know where to sleep for the night. Though, honestly, you could probably just sleep just about anywhere that isn't outside and I don't think anyone would complain...

[Good news, Vash will find him when he goes to knife the inn and then they'll sit in the snow for way too long and be like "hmm why are we cold". Brothers or something idk.

Nai tucks the book away into his new pockets he just acquired to read later. He'll give it back to Mizuki when he's done later on, Politely even, to show that he's grateful for the assistance.]

Is the climate of this place normally so inhospitable?

[Like, okay, the deserts get cold at night, but holy fuck this is even colder, by Nai's measure. Maybe it's the fact he was barefoot in it but still.]

[mooninthewater]

I wouldn't really say it's the climate that makes this place so inhospitable so much as the corruption and constant threat of the creature wanting entertainment, [ :)! ] but it's only like this in winter. It's not so bad - you just happened to join us in the middle of the season is all.

But, if you need to warm up, Mister Zahliya and Mister N are baaaasically heating units on their own, and there's a fireplace in the inn's lobby that doesn't go out. [ It startles Mizuki whenever he goes inside, but it's fine. It's a boon for the Grove, otherwise. ] Or you're welcome to the therapy building. I hoard blankets and give great hugs, so it's pretty warm there, too~.
