"I am here to help for it is my duty and one I've trained for my entire life.
I am an experienced Shrine Maiden and I am trained in many area that are outside of the spiritual; that training might help keep people calm in our present situation. I am surprised that more people haven't come to me at least summoned by the bell." she says in a soft and unexcited tone

[Sharidi37495]

Elle shrugs. ”Maybe this is it. Us plus Martha. I’m not surprised she’s not here. She was... weird. How did you know what she said, anyway?”

Yumi

Yumi looks at Elle genuinely puzzled

"I don't know who Martha is"

Her expression turns worried especially after hearing the threats made earlier

Venus

Venus lays unconscious on the side walk outside the store

Elle frowns, staring at Yumi with slightly narrowed eyes for a long moment. ”Hmm... alright then.” She shrugs and looks away. ”Cool temple. How did you become a Miko?”

Yumi

Yumi has to laugh softly when Elle asks ”Cool temple. How did you become a Miko?”

"I was born into the Suzuki family of this shrine who have been it's priests, priestess, monks and Nuns for it's entire existence" delighted to answer the question

[Azure Flame]

James relaxed a bit, but was still wary of Elle while she talked to Yumi.

[Sharidi37495]

Elle raises her eyebrows. ”Woah. So your family practically raised this place. Cool. Have you ever wanted to stray outside the family practice? Make a different name for yourself? Oh and are you hungry?” She offers Yumi a breakfast bar.

Yumi

Yumi looks a bit embarrassed as she replies to the offer

"I apricate the offer but my diet is a very strict one I suppose you'd call it organic.

This shrine is dedicated to Inari the rice god and until I become a Priestess my diet must remain pure, I am even restricted to the water I drink and bathe in."

[Sharidi37495]

Elle tucks the bar into her bag. ”Oh well sorry for asking.”

Yumi

"How could you know?"

She says with a reassuring smile

Landon

After finding zero food at his house and the continues chill Landon decided it would be best to go back to everyone even if the scary knife girl was there. Which in preparation of scary knife girl Landon grabbed his gun from his house a 1911 Remington RI Comander. Stuffing the pistol into his inner jacket along with a box of its 45 caliber rounds he skated back to the shrine. Upon arriving he took the long journey up the steps then seeing that scary knife girl had become less scary giving out food girl he walked over " um do you mind if I have one of those bars? " he asked nervously.

[Azure Flame]

"Welcome back Landon." James said, nodding to his friend, still cautious of Elle.

[Sharidi37495]

Elle shrugs. ”Guess your right.” Upon Landon’s return, she grins, very aware of how the others saw her. ”Landon, huh? Think fast.” She tosses him a bar and checks on her bottle of beer in the bag. She sighs. ”Would anyone happen to have any alcohol?”

"I have sake and beer, we use it on special occasions and I suppose this if any qualifies as such" Says Yumi leading them towards the storehouse

"The beer was for a festival and made by Asahi especially for the shrine in the traditional method as it has been since 1891 in the Meiji period" she says as if leading a tour and when she opens the Store House there stacked on pallets are 26 kegs and the warehouse also contains traditional bales of Rice perhaps 42 kg each and labeled from the surrounding farming communities.

"Please some on take a keg and I will fetch the tap" says yumi as she floats to a cabinet built in the last millennium. Inside are the tools of an old school rice farmer and 8 keg taps.

[Sharidi37495]

Elle raises an eyebrow at the more primitive tools and style of the warehouse. She heaves a keg and holds it on her shoulder and sets it beside Yumi. ”Only one?”
