[ hi diluc

owner will be collecting his belongings from the locker. he pulls out what looks to be a lantern, and sets it down carefully. he then pulls out some clothing, picking out a black kimono, and immediately goes to take the skintight suit off to change out of it. ]

Oh. Can you help me?

[pyromance]

[ "this icon will be us" (whatsapp voice) I NEED cock owner

diluc is already changed himself, finishing the tie on his low ponytail before the other man addresses him. he glimpses over, quickly surmises the context of the request, and nods. ]

Certainly. These suits are... rather cumbersome in their own way.

[ back zipper... ]

If you'd turn around, please.

[discomfort]

[ he will turn around obediently. ]

While I am thankful they kept our original clothing, I do have complaints about this setup. They could have at least left these things with the pods for easier access.

[ sorry he does not normally do skintight clothing so this was interesting ]

[pyromance]

[ imagine if diluc broke the zipper and owner was just stuck in a bodysuit for the rest of the game ]

Last evening was quite the spectacle. Though I'd say this morning has been no less of a farce. It seems we have much more to contend with ahead of us.

[ he undoes the zipper, and steps back to allow owner a respectful amount of space with which to change. be free!

also he's not really being a snoop but is owner's lantern with him... ]

[discomfort]

[ be free!!

he will begin to do the clothes removal. the lantern is here, yeah, it looks like the icon... it's on a bench, nestled closed to where owner is standing. it's not currently lit. ]

It all has been a rather intricate way of telling us we were signed up for forced labor.

[pyromance]

[ inchresting inchresting... diluc diverts his eyes elsewhere while owner gets NAKED. ]

Strange, as I'm under the impression none of us actually volunteered to be subject to such conditions.

[discomfort]

[ owner meanwhile has zero shame while being naked so he just continues to chat cheerfully during this whole process ]

I definitely would not. I am quite happy with my normal job, thank you, I would not take another.

[pyromance]

[ owner u are so brazen, good for u. diluc has quickly accepted that there's not that much privacy here, and Deals With It. ]

Your normal job? If I may ask.

[discomfort]

I am the owner of the Murakumo Inn. Taking care of my guests is something that is very important to me.

[ and instead he is HERE in SPACE doing OTHER CAPITALISM ]

[pyromance]

...I understand.

[ WE HAVE CAPITALISM AT HOME! ]

It is not quite the same, however I am the owner of a tavern.

[ diluc making himself sound like he's in the hospitality business when in fact he's part of the 1% (soots him) ]

[discomfort]

Oh! You must meet a lot of interesting people then on a daily basis.

[ drunks

he means drunks ]

[pyromance]

All sorts. I've even met a bard with six fingers on each hand, before.

[ tells a joke nobody here will understand. ]

Have you memorable patrons of your own?

[discomfort]

[ six fingers........ ]

Oh, yes. I had a recent one who set a fire in one of my rooms.

[pyromance]

A fire.

[ he blinks at that. (sounds like diluc behavior actually) ]

I pray the damages were not too grave.

[discomfort]

We will manage. You must always be ready for disaster to strike at any time.

[ it's just that sometimes the disaster is a guest instead of like, an earthquake, ]

[pyromance]

True enough.

[ is owner done changing yet ]

Are these occurrences... common in your line of work?

[ disaster guests ]

[discomfort]

[ if diluc turns around, he can spot owner just tying his kimono together. ]

At times. A lot of the time, people go to inns because they wish to seclude themselves from the rest of the world for whatever reason. And occasionally those reasons may bring trouble. Thankfully, my staff is fully capable of handling it.

[pyromance]

[ he can chance a glimpse over his shoulder, he's proper but not a total prude.

he nods. ]

It seems your inn is in good hands, until your return.

[discomfort]

[ there's a smile ]

Yes. I hope the same goes for your tavern...?

[pyromance]

I've capable hands on deck. Though, I do wish to return as soon as possible, of course.

[discomfort]

[ he goes to pick up his remaining belongings, and carefully grabs onto the handle of the lantern to lift it. ]

That's not a surprise. Even if they finally let us out of that room, this really isn't a substitution for home.

[ he gestures so that they can leave the locker room ]

[pyromance]

[ diluc gathers up his own belongings as well. time to exit the locker room! ]

No. Though speaking of rooms, I believe we've been assigned personal quarters.

[ handwaves that he walked by them earlier or whateverrr ]

I'm headed back that way.

[discomfort]

Ah... I should take a look.

[ instead he has been sitting here trying to unzip himself until someone came back ]

I'll go with you.

[pyromance]

Let us hope our accommodations are more amenable than those... casks.

[ pods. but yes, the company is welcome! i have not math lady meme'd the layout of the ship yet but they can walk together. diluc is probably looking around some more as they go, but eventually they make it to the crew capsules. i would assume they reach owner's room first, but also I JUST REALIZED THEY HAVEN'T INTRODUCED THEMSELVES YETTTTT ]

Pardon me, I don't believe I've gotten your name.

[discomfort]

Ah! How rude of me.

[ he offers a bow-- not as deep as he normally would, partly because his hands are full of things. he straightens back up with a smile. ]

You may call me Owner.
