Devil's Nest, Monday, 08/31

The school year had begun afresh for the students ... and that included Jack. His law classes hadn't even started yet, but he still had emails from professors to answer and textbooks to buy and (as always) paperwork to fill in.

He busied himself at the bar with all of that, but not before eyeing Tiny's sign of the day skeptically.

New drink today: Glitter rum!

The squirrels, he suspected, had been busy.

The Onsen, Monday Afternoon

It had been a day or so and Kathy's shoulder still hurt from her tussle on Saturday to make her bail on patrolling. She really didn't want to have to miss a night of patrolling because she was hurt, so she figured that a bit of a soak in the onsen's hottest pools might help forcibly relax bruised muscles and give her a little more freedom of movement. Also, there was nothing wrong with a little bit of pampering at the start of the semester, right?

Hopefully right, because lying back in the heat and steam felt heavenly right about then.

The only problem she had with the onsen was that she couldn't read while she soaked. But she'd handwavily texted a bunch of people inviting them to come relax with her, so with any luck, there would be friends arriving soon enough.
