Crescendo and Confusion

[innkeeper_erin]

*A young woman walks out of the woods around the stable. Her voice turns louder and more worried as she mentions each name*

Nemne?

Marica?

...Sieeeeg?

*She spins around to look back into the woods, yet she fails to find anything to reassure her growingly agitated mind.*

I didn't enter the wrong gate, did I?

I'm afraid not.

*looks at the chateau visible from there* Oh... Are you the lord of this land?

[aloof_savant]

Me? Oh, no, I'm just looking after it for a friend. He should be back soon... I hope.

Well then! How about staying at Budehuc Castle? Who knows, your friends might inexplicably show up too! This is quickly becoming a hotspot for the weird and supernatural. ...That's not our tourism slogan, by the way.

[innkeeper_erin]

If it's okay with you, I will not refuse.

I don't bring enough Potch, though. Is it okay if I offer my service instead, Mr...?

Silverberg, but my friends call me Caesar! Actually, everyone calls me that.

We have a variety of positions and space for business if need be. What kind of services are you offering, Miss..?

[innkeeper_erin]

It's Erin, Sir Caesar. I work as inn keeper in my homeworld and a bit of clerical tasks.

[aloof_savant]

You know... your world doesn't sound very different from this one at all.

Very well, Erin! You are now the official innkeeper of Budehuc! I never liked the idea of a butler running it anyway. I have a feeling you'll be quite busy at the rate we're getting unexpected residents. Present company included!
