Somewhere in Japan sits a lovely little rustic Onsen/Ryokan. It's nestled between hills in a valley hidden from prying eyes just outside a tiny little community of very unique people. The main building the Onsen looks like it's seen better days though with a few roof tiles missing here and there and some interesting markings in the wooden posts.
The warmth of summer has been swept away by the earlier typhoons and now the chill of Fall is in the air. It was on a fall morning that Hikaru, the young man in charge of the Onsen realized that he had no idea what to do and that his guests were due to arrive sometime that afternoon. While his parents were the proper owners of the Onsen they were gone off on a sort of midlife crisis and second honey moon and were promised to not return until... Hikaru wasn't sure when they were going to be back.
Hikaru just wanted to paint but he was out of time now and had make himself presentable. He rushed around and changed into his kimono as his yukata had paint on the edges now and he tried to wash a streak of green off his hair only to notice his stained fingers.
"Shit!" He found himself wailing as the paint spread into his hair but he didn't feel like dipping it some sort of cleaner! "Where are my geta!?" Hikaru looked around frantically, his large single eye scanning the room.
"Soutamaru-san! Soutamaru-saaaaan! Oh why am I calling for him? He won't know either! Ahhhhhhh! Oh wait!" Hikaru tossed an assortment of canvas aside and found a single geta. Another toss of his precious art materials and he'd found the other.
"Am I missing anything?" He asked himself as he slid into his geta and started to clack his way down the hallway to the main door. "Waaah. I'm so not ready for this!" There was still paint in his hair and paint on his hands and his kimono was a little sloppy. He was definitely not ready for this.
"We-Wel-Welcome to the Seidou Family Onsen and Ryokan!"
