The dark, ominous and unsettling aura which was surging forth from the curse-fox began to slowly, mildly and unhurriedly subside. The purple flames that had lit the tips of her tails like dark candles slowly faded and snuffed into nothing. Perhaps it was the presence of something divine coming inbetween the dark forces of chaos and shielding the rest of the wolrd from it, or perhaps it was the gentle warmth and love of someone precious that managed to surpress and stifle the flow of negativity. Whatever the case or reason, Yumeiko plopping herself down in Miyuki's rising lap seemed to have done some good if nothing else.

And when the mention of 'that
' was spoken aloud, the dark elder fox's ears twitched. Her eyes softened and her expression became less murderous and more... Curious...

"That, you say?" Her voice quiet, soft, like a whisper spoken next to a dry sandcastle, careful and measured, done so as to not blow the fragile grains apart and cause the whole thing to come crashing down. A fleeting dream, a mirage of morning dew and wispy clouds...

But what was that? What could possibly have such a profound significance and worth that the enraged fox of cursed chimes would let herself to - at least momentarily - become side-tracked and distracted by it? Surely it must be a great and hard-to-obtain something? A trinket or object or item so rare, so exquisit, that it could only ever have existed in a limited quantity at all times...!

...

Nope. It was a massage chair.

An electric massage chair.

On their way across the ocean from their homeland, Miyuki and Yumeiko had been privvy to watching one of thoe strange boxes with the moving pictures and sounds. The older of the two hadn't initially paid much attention to it, finding it noisy and unpleasant. However, at some point, a voluptuous western woman appeared inside it, and she was seated in a chair. But not just any chair. A chair that shook and vibrated and moved, all on it's own! WITHOUT MAGIC! It also looked really comfortable. Like, really comfortable. The kind of comfortable you could just sink down into and be surrounded by happy, blissful content...edness... If that's even a word. The woman in the box went on to talk about how the chair could help improved circulation, reduce fatigue, loosen muscles and, most important of all, help with stiff shoulders and strained backs!

... Something a certain top-heavy fox was all too familiar with, even if she didn't admit it.

Thus, the promise of the alluring and fantastical chair brought some light back to Miyuki's eyes. The spark of redeeming hope was kindled and a path out of the dark tunnel of oblivion had begun to flicker in the distance, like a lone, solitary buoy on the dark and frightening ocean at night...

... Until...

WHAT WAS THAT SMELL!?

Had the man from earlier somehow snuck up on the cuddling foxes?! No, wait, this was different... The footsteps and breathing wasn't the same, and the smell wasn't either. Although it was still horrible. Like, really, really awful and terrible. But it was nontheless different. And then, a phrase came. Words spoken by an unfamiliar voice, belogning to an unfamiliar face. It was a question. A question asked in a casual, uncomitted way, by a voice that really, truly and honestly didn't sound like it could care less, one way or the other. M iyuki's head turned to the infringing source of new noise and odors.

It was a woman. A woman she... Hadn't seen before...? Had she? She... She couldn't quite place her. Maybe she had? Somewhere recently? Whatever. They'd never talked or exchanged pleasantries, that's for certain. Yet, here she was, dressed like... That... Asking a quesiton even though her face looked like she didn't even want a response. ... Why was she here? Why was she speaking to Miyuki...? Was she speaking to Miyuki? perhaps she walking to Yumeiko? OR maybe the runtshrimpmidget neck-biter at the next table over?

Whatever the case may have eben, Miyuki didn't answer. Because she never got the chance to. Before the fox could open her mouth...

A cavalcade of circus-like comedic catastrophy came crashing down into the center of the collective curiosities who had congregated at the center of the cafeteria, resulting in a cataclysim chain of crashes, clammering and confounded calamitous carnage that left the fox speechless.

Her table was crashed onto by a... Thing... Who was chasing one of those shrieking little goobers. The table flipped, right infront of Yumeiko and Miyuki. A cutesty 'kyaa~' was heard, though from which of them it originated, none would ever know. The table crashed, the being crashed, the food that was already on the floor was splattered and forced deeper into the ground, making sure that any hope of it perhaps being edible was now thoroughly and utterly crushed. Another being came, a larger one, and it too made a mess. The first offender lay sprawled in the heap of table, porcelain, food and chaotic confusion, it looked up and then...

... It had the audacity to ask for help.

Miyuki's face was now blank. Her eyes were dull and lightless. Her mouth drawn into a terse, thin line. Her body frozen, her gaze fixed a thousand-yard stare into the ether beyond space and time. She just held Yumeiko in her lap, sitting on that stool infront of the flipped-over-table.

"Yes. I am having a rough day." Voice as dry as sandpaper...

Miyuki's mood improved by Yumeiko sitting in her lap.
Miyuki recalled what 'That' was and got momentarily excited about the prospect of obtaining it by joining the hunt.
Then she was approached by Rebecca, whos's smelly presence and question made Miyuki's mood begin to drop again.
Then the Sam and Azir crashed into her and Yumi's dining table and caused a major scene.
Now Miyuki is deadpan.

Well, in addition to the old blacksmith's house and the tools and stuff there-within, which Akitsugu already found when he arrived in town but didn't tella nyone about...

McNugget can find the following things:

- An old empty wooden water barrel
- Several broken, cracked or chipped dull, old brown clay plates, covered and caked in dust (Not really usable...)
- A really fancy display pedestal, made from laquered wood, with ornate engravings and carvings. Standing alone in a dark corner of a building. Oddly not dusty or weatherworn. Has an odd symbol on the display-surface on top of it carved in.
- A small, ratty, dirty rug/mat
- A semi-intact kitchen drawer with some pewter eating utensils, two of each spoon, fork and knife
- An old, leather-bound book, underneath an old, crumbled bookcase (rare loot)
- A four-pointed silver star medallion, with a silver string/chain. (Very rare loot). Located on top of a ceiling beam in one of the buildings
