GC Tea House

[Shikyo]

She smiles slightly, almost in a reassuing way towards the apperently younger and shyer of the two ladies at the table. She gestures slightly towards other Sisters that are gathered in small groups or singually around the Tea House before answering, "At one time or another most here have asked much the same as you have, even this one asked such questions. The answers were simple, when you become a Sister, your home is with us. Outside of here, you will find we have few friends and allies willing to provide a place you might stay if this Station is not to your liking."

She moves a bit to take a seat with the pair of ladies, resting her Sword across her lap although she does not let go of it at any time. The calm expression on her face hides the usually devious and always dangerous thoughts of this particular Sister, though here in this place she knows that should anyone attempt anything, Iron Wastas improvements on the Security will keep any trouble maker from causing much damage.

"Allow this one to give some advice if you do not mind. Some will make sense, some will not seem to, all of it good and will potentially save both your lives in the days to come."

"First, Trust no one that is not of the Sisterhood, and even then if they claim it, there are ways of knowing and proving it. One knows that may even make what this one is telling you now suspect, that is good. Trust what your instincts tell you is truth and what is not. Always question but never too much. Here some questions are tolerated, Sisters are welcome to ask advice of the Elders."

"Second, the attitude of the Kusari people is often negative of the Sisterhood and what it truely stands for. As much as we are fighting for the people, we also try to enlighten them and show them what is right, show them the true corruption of the Shogun, his navy, and the Samura dogs who try to rule from behind the Emperors throne. Even the current Emperor is under their sway and does not understand fully the needs of the people anymore. Joining us means that you will not always be welcome by former friends and family, thus we become your family and you are welcome here."

"Third, and all this one has for now, give the Elders time. Enjoy your stay, explore Hokkido and the rest of Kusari while you still remain an unknown to the Samura and their boot jack Kusari Navy. The Elders are busy people and will call you when they have time and are ready to speak with you. One does say this though, if you happen to find a Jump Hole to Tau 65, do not go there until you ARE a member of this Sisterhood. This one would be saddened if after all this advice she had to kill you for entering forbidden space."

A slight attempt at a reassuring smile again at the pair of ladies and she raises her left hand of her sword only long enough to make a gesture to the Bar-bot. It does not take long before the robot shows up at the table with a fresh cup of white tea made specially for her. She nods once to the Bar-bot dismissing it as she picked up the cup with her right hand and took a small sip of tea before setting the cup down again then spoke once more in that velvety soft voice of hers, "This one takes a guess you may be lovers. If one is wrong and offends, she offers apology, otherwise a room has been made available for you both when ever your ready for it."

Another smile, since they may be slightly confused how Aki managed to arrange a room even as she was speaking to them, although she will not tell them exactly how extensive the Security really in throughout Ainu Depot. While she was speaking to them, the Ops Officer of the Day had made the arrangements the moment Shikyo mentioned making arrangements for them and sending a Junior Sister to the table, where the young girl bows and placed two comm badges on the table before them before stepping back to wait quietly, [color=#33FFFF][i]"This Sister here will show you the way to your room. This one also suggests that you keep those Comm Badges on you at all times while here. It will identify you to others here as belonging and keep certain members from reacting in a poor manner."
