Sunday must have been exhausting for you, maybe even upsetting. A new town, new faces and a an ominous order from a man without a face... who wouldn't be a little frightened? Hopefully, all of that is forgotten when you climb out from under your blankets this fine Monday. Rise and shine! A new morning is a new start!
If you make your way to the lounge, you will find a few copies of the local newspaper provided for your perusal. Once you go outdoors, you'll find the weather forecast 100% accurate. It's pretty impressive.
It seems that quiet mornings like this are going to be your everyday life now. Maybe you should see this whole stay as a vacation? Go out and explore the town, meet your fellow motel guests and meet the townspeople. They're sure to welcome you with a smile!
This week's special in the diner is lemon pie made with love (and a top-secret recipe)

I had to train hard to be that quick. But it was to prepare me to make sure I could survive a surprise attack. I'd rather not get into a fight myself if I can help it.
[But, well, if it comes down to it?
A fight they shall have.]

[For someone who had a gun pointed at her two seconds ago, she sure is taking this in stride.]
That's really cool, though, even if I don't really get it. I always just smash my problems if I have 'em.
no subject
[As the guestbook mentioned.]
Sometimes it's better just to run instead of fighting... or that's what I think, anyway.
no subject
Smashing buildings and things is different. And even though I fight if I gotta, we never ever killed anybody.
no subject
[Wow, that's... actually really impressive?]
no subject
[You can break a wall and not break the entire place!! Come, now, Kino, be sensible.]
no subject
How did you know when they were empty enough to smash?
no subject
[SO? Let her live!]

S'more like if I'm on a mission, I'm prolly heading into a fortress or somethin'. If you can take down one o' those with just one wall, that's a pretty badly built fortress, don'cha think?

Gramps wants to help the civilians. I mean, if a couple get caught in the crossfire here n' there, then that's how things go, but mostly we're just tryn'a crush the nobles.
I mean, the way Cayenne did it, they more or less crushed themselves, but y'know. That just means we can expand now.
no subject
[And so the picture grows.]

It's not like Gramps doesn't have power to begin with. He's the Emperor's right hand man, after all. But he wants to take the power the nobles have and give it back to the commoners. Even things out a li'l bit.
no subject
Not Kino's place.]
He sounds like a great man. [One way or another.]
no subject
He is what he is. People love 'im or they hate 'im. Me, I work for 'im, so it doesn't really matter which way I go, y'know?
no subject
[A hero to some, a villain to others. There's no judgment in Kino's voice; it is what it is.]
You don't have an opinion on him?
no subject
He's nice to me. He gets me teddy bears n' candy and stuff like that when I do a good job.
But he's also really messed things up for people. N' then those people go and mess things up for other people, and...
I guess I just kinda see it both ways, now.
no subject
Things like that are usually complicated.
[Even Kino's ended up involved a few times, in spite of their best efforts otherwise.]
no subject
But there's not really anything I can do about it. I'm an Ironblood, after all.
[If she keeps saying it, maybe it'll feel true.]
