Hail, fellow riftfarers:

I write today with a few... wonderings, you might call them. As a few of you may know, my occupation prior to my arrival was that of an innkeeper, so I've found myself rather curious about the state of the hospitality industry here.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from those of you who have rather taken to a life at sea since arriving here, and who have formed crews and the like. If you've a moment to write back, I would appreciate it so very much and would be happy to answer any questions you may have in turn!

• How often do you come ashore to rest at inns or taverns?
  
• What amenities would you most like to see in at an inn?
  
• What sort of food or drink do you find yourself seeking most when you're ashore?
  
• What type of entertainment would you be most interested in during your stay?

I realize I'm adding to a rather plentiful collection of questionnaires and inquiries here... or... innquiries?

No, I rather regret writing that.

Anyroad... well, I suppose that's partly what this network is all for, hm?

Thank you for your time,
S.H.

P.S. This is much more of a personal inquiry than a professional one, but... for those of who you have come to care for warrior cats... what are some things that you've found to be very successful with building trust with them...?

don't listen to her
you're onto something here

[ Actually, he would prefer it if their inn was full of cats and dogs over people. ]

[flamekthunder]

[...? There's a slight arch of the brow since he didn't expect someone else to come into the conversation.

...]

Perhaps, but it is more than she was initially asking.

[...

He does think it would be a good idea but he also realizes limits!!]

[unliminal]

[ He just invited himself to be a part of this discussion... ]

that's a good thing eh?
you're thinking outside the box
we will take this suggestion into consideration

[flamekthunder]

Are you working with her?

1/2

[unliminal]

i'm her partner so i hope so

2/2

[unliminal]

romantically btw not like a business partner lol

[flamekthunder]

[...

He is questioning the necessity of this information—]

Makes no difference.

But if that is the case, I expect you will fully support with whatever decision she makes and not push her to do something she doesn't want.

[This is mostly him somehow defending Sumina because he didn't take kindly to his first message. Don't brush aside her opinions!!]

[unliminal]

[ He's not brushing them aside!! But he can't show his hand without revealing he's just stirring shit for fun... ]

nope
don't have to push her towards any decision
she'll come around to the doggone truth eventually!!!
U・ᴥ・U

[flamekthunder]

[......Sigh. Well, it's not really his business, Sumina can stand up for herself.]

Have you ever taken care of animals before?

[unliminal]

well there was Panda
and the demon dogs
so kind of

[ Panda is more mature than Gojo and is thus an outlier and should not be counted. ]

[flamekthunder]

"Kind of"?

[unliminal]

do pandas and demon dogs sound like normal pets to you?

[flamekthunder]

Depends.

In some worlds it very well could be.

I was more questioning on your ability to take care of them regardless.

[unliminal]

oh
i mean i've taken care of kids so how hard can pets be?
i've always wanted a dog anyway

[ Come to think of it, why hasn't he gotten on that, now that his life is more stable? ]

[flamekthunder]

Depending on the pet, even harder. If you plan to help, you need to be serious about it.

[unliminal]

what made you think i'm not being serious?
i really do want a puppy! i do!!

[flamekthunder]

[In fairness to Gojo, text is a terrible form of medium to get a sense of real intent.

...

Still not impressed.]

Do you know what they need?

[unliminal]

sure
same things as teenagers
food and shelter
toys to play with
gentle and stern encouragement

[flamekthunder]

It's still a bit more than that.

With animals, you need to be able to understand their needs without their ability to say it, so you need to be even more attentive.

[unliminal]

no that sounds exactly like teenagers
you think they come right out and say what they want?

[flamekthunder]

There's still the option to make them say it.

[Forcibly. Maybe.]
