[For almost a month now there's been one little thing digging away at the back of Raven's mind, courtesy of a lovely well-endowed Krityan. But this is the first chance he's honestly had the time to sit down and think about it, and what better way than to pester the public for information!]

Hey! Give an old man a hand. Anyone else here heard the rumours of the 'phantom hot springs' out there in those mountains?

Why yes, I, the great Aku, have seen these hot springs and has decided to stay there for some time. Join me at your own peril! BA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

[herotypical]

This place has hot springs?

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Miyabi-chan did mention something about there maybe being some around.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Ya know, I'd much rather pass. Sharin' a hot spring with a guy isn't my ideal evenin'.

[crisisrain]

I've only heard the rumour, hence why I'm askin'.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Wait! So they do exist?!

[herotypical]

Rumours are tricky things. Maybe you'll find it, and it'll just be a pit of mud. Do you really want to go swimming in a pit of mud?

[Learn how to be logical, Buffy. :|]

[crisisrain]

Depends what formed the pit of mud. Could've been a hot spring in the past, which means there'd be some hot water ta tap into somewhere!

I've been there before. No bath house or anything, though.

[crisisrain]

You've actually been to the hot springs 'ere in Luceti?!

[herotypical]

And you've...what--got hot spring experience or something? Expert Hot Spring Builder?

[Voice]

[pinkribbons.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [Though it wasn't on purpose....] It's kind of a walk to get there.

[crisisrain]

I worked at a hot spring once I 'spose, didn't hurt ta ask some questions while I was there.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

But they exist, think ya could tell me where abouts it was?

[Voice]

[pinkribbons.livejournal.com]

Well, I can try.

[herotypical]

What--wait, really? People can actually work at hot springs? Aren't they just supposed to be natural wonders that you occasionally stumble across and take advantage of in a more...unofficial capacity?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Great, great! If I can find 'em, I'll see about building it into a bath house! I'm sure some folks 'ere wouldn't mind a place to relax.

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Oi, I wouldn't know! It's not like I've seen these mystifying hot springs.

[crisisrain]

No, no. Uh yah see, back where I'm from this place called Yumanju converted a natural hot spring into a spa resort. Apparently it got good business, despite bein' overpriced.

[herotypical]

Did you at least get a sweet employee discount?

[crisisrain]

They gave us a lifetime pass!

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Ya've never seen or been ta one? Yer missin' out there big time pal.

[Voice]

[eyebrowsonfire.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I will simply claim them as my own for now on.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Hot springs are no fun if ya can't use 'em ta get a glimpse at a lovely naked lady.

[herotypical]

Wait--but what if you quit? Do you still get it?
