Welcome to Gaia! ::

After retrieving their gear from the Hotel and escaping the ambush, Lance drove with Walker along the mountainous roads to Hokkaido.
After arriving they find rooms to stay in, at 'Hinata Inn' just a few minutes walk from the village out in the mountain forests.
(There is also a Hot-Springs around the back!)


As Walker shot around for the Hot Spring, Lance trudged into the main hall and signed them both in. Paying up-front cash to cover the first couple of nights.
"Who know's how long we may or may not stay here." He sighed to himself as he traveled up the starirs to place his bag in his new room.
He'd been carrying it for a while and it was starting to cut into his shoulder...

Lance dumps his bag next to the Futon in his room and looks at the picture on the wall, it's an arial-view of the hotel:


Lance can see the hot-springs in the top right corner of the picture.
"That's where Walker must be by now..." Lance quietly says to himself.

Saila, having sped the entire trip north, came to a screeching halt in front of the hotel. The building was three stories tall, built in traditional japanese architecture, and seemed to take up a well sized area. Truly, it was immense compared to all the other hotels they had passed after entering the Hokkaido region. By the looks of it, Walker and Lance had already arrived, since their car was parked not too far away. The problem was, there were no other cars parked within the area. Saila, though, shifted the car into Park, and stepped out, letting the wind catch her long black hair. She took off her hat and breather a sigh of boredom rather than a sigh of relief. "Well, we're here, the Hinata Inn in the Hokkaido region. But we didn't pass any baddies on the way here crying " She popped the trunk and took out a pair of luggage that hadn't left the car since it had been shipped to Japan far before the mission. Before going in, she waited for Yoru and Shevaun to exit and grab their bags before locking the car. "I hope the hotsprings are as good as everyone says, I could use a break, but would rather fight." She stacked one luggage on top of the other and wheeled it into the building, paying for their rooms and heading up the stairs. "Could've at least installed an elevator." Saila complained.

Shevaun closely followed behind Saila, with her luggage in hand. While turning a corner she spotted Lance coming from his room.
"Hey, Saila. Look who it is."

Lance smiled and hugged Shevaun as they met.
"Would you like me to take your bags?" He asked them all.

((OMG.. Has this everyone involved died!?))

Lance picked up thier bags and showed them to their rooms.
"We're all on the same floor.. So we'll all be very close together.. sweatdrop " Lance said as he walked.

After showing the others around briefly, Lance headed out back to find Walker..
