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...?

[For what it's worth Sumina, Ranma thought the pun was funny. Funny as in the pity laugh sort of deal, not a full-on belly laugh.]

When you ask, do you mean inns or taverns here in this world, or from back where we came?

I think we risk causing confusion if we both end our messages with S.H.

[ He has no comment to add about the actual survey, but that caught his attention immediately. Add Shikanoin Heizou and there's another S.H. ]

[Well...okay he can help.]

• Frequently if I'm out on a job.
  
• As long as it has the basics I don't really care for much else. But having amenities for pets would help.
  
• Standard. Make whatever is easiest for you. Being unique isn't bad, either, so long as you have a few common dishes.
  
• Not necessary. As long as the rooms are soundproof enough so that it blocks out the noise.

[...Wow that is so very not helpful—but hey, she wanted opinions and perhaps considering people who prefer quiet should also be important!!]

This venerable one is Captain of the Phantom Moon.

When we come ashore, it is not usually with the need or desire to rest at inns or taverns. This venerable one can recall only one time docking with the intent to experience an inn - when the God-Beasts visited Avaleci in the first month of this year. There was a resort at the top of the mountain on the frozen side of the island.

If this venerable one did intend to take time at such an establishment, he supposes he would want to have the very best luxuries available. Large, soft beds. Heavy curtains with fine embroidery to block out sound and help direct the flow of air. Thick carpets on stone floors. Baths fit for a king with a dozen servants to help with the bathing and grooming. [Says the guy with perfectly straight hair down past his ass.] Another dozen servants to attend in the general chambers, bringing food and drink, books, play music, and provide other entertainments as necessary.

Food should be... interesting. With many choices and a variety that sees no end.

I come ashore pretty often! Maybe every couple of weeks? Being out on the high seas is fun and all, but sometimes you want to be on solid ground.

Food is definitely the most important thing in these kinds of places! That's always what I remember most after staying somewhere, especially if a place has something unique to them! A signature drink or dessert, something like that. It makes them stand out!

Nice?! I've got this.

• The Seventh Heaven is on Eltrut's shore at lease once a week, sometimes more. It's nice to grab a room sometimes instead of sleeping on a ship for days on end.

• Honestly? A hot bath.

• And really good food is a must for me. Preferably beef. Anything that walks on land and is edible. I'm sick of fish. I'm so sick of fish. And I like good beer!! No beer battered fish.

• I'm usually too bushed to watch the bards at other taverns, and I go straight to bed once it gets too late. But you know what? I love talking with other people. Listening to stories from the other people travelling is always a good time. That's entertainment to me.
