GC Tea House

[Ironwatsas]

In the 3 days since her last visit to the tea house, she had been apoligised too, rejoined Kiretsu, been shot at by farmers, and become agitated and began drowning her sorrows in Wine and Cardamine.

So she had no idea where she was when she awoke that <strike>morning</strike> afternoon. The first thing she felt was the effects of a massive hangover. And sluggishly made her way to the bathroom of wherever she was, grabbing a cup and filling it with water. It was at about this time she realised she wasn't in her own quarters.
The fact that she was naked and there were bottles of alchahol and various articles of clothing scattered about made her yet more suspicious.

"Wat the f(explative)!?!?" She yelled, looking around to see where she was. And trying to find out what had happened... and with whom?

Looking around the room, she noticed what appeared to be burned-out incense, portraits of Yuyu Matsuda, and a sword stand. Indicating she was atleast in a Chrysanthemum's room. She rummaged around through the clothing, finding what appeared to be a uniform, and a name inscribed indicating Taii Shiyko was responsible.

She came to full realisation, and blushed heavily. After a few seconds, she went and grabbed a small kimoni-like robe and went out into the hallway, looking for where Shikyo had gotten too.

Elsewhere, \CS\-Steve was continuing his tasks of maintaining the Tea House and ensuring security. He checked the cork bulliten board used by people to leave messages to the bartender. Among them was what seemed like a delivery invoice, with the words 'TO STEVE' written in large, red marker. He initally paid no attention, and went out to dump the contents of the bars' trash cans into the station's reactor exhaust.

He accomplished this quickly and walked back to the tea house. When he got there, he noticed amongst several objects propped up against the wall on the outside of the doorway was a large cardboard box with the words 'TO STEVE' written again in bold marker. The box bore a Renzu corperation logo heart shaped symbols.

"Hmm... must be the new virtual reality thingy for the Holovision?" he asked to no-one in particular. He tried to move the very heavy box, initally underestimating it's weight. Eventually however, he managed to man-handle it into the tea house and sit it next to the holovision.

"Anyone see where this came from? What is this?"

All that begins must end.
