Looking around me as I stand in the middle of a small town I think to myself 'What now?' I cant figure out a plan. I was exited walking up almost skipping but now that I'm here I realize that this is just an overlarge village really.

My plan was to find some kind of a guild job something with allot of people so I wouldn’t be discriminated against. after all from what I'm aware everyone I've seen so far is human. and I've never really heard of any other kitsune clans. But, that could just be because males aren’t allowed in politics. But in a small town like this that might be hard. From what I remember in small towns outsiders (most of the time) aren’t really welcome. Something about seeing the same faces and knowing everyone making them unwilling to change or invite someone new into there cozy reality. That will really limits my options if these people are not welcoming.

I have what money I can carry in my pouch and backpack but I don’t know how long it will last me. I guess I'll find a hotel..inn Ill find and inn. As I go through the, town, I see two buildings houses really; next to each other. They have signs that might mean they are both inns. 'Huh, two inns for this dinky little town is surprising.' One has an axe sign and the other a animal of some sort, I think I'll just go with the animal, thank you very much.

“Hello”, someone says as I walk through the door with the bell on it jingling “I will be right with you in a second.” A large lady comes around the corner into the entry as I'm standing and stops after seeing me. Closing one eye slightly giving her face a twisted look and staring as she starts to speak. “Well, what can I do for you today?”she asks. “Hello, is this an inn?” She rolled her brown eyes dirty blonde hair shaking a little at the movement, “No its a mumble mumble, yes! this an inn, The Wolfs Head”. (I get the feeling she doesn’t have too many customers (wry face))

“I would like to stay the night how much is it?”, She looks at me speculatively the left eye closing even more giving her a misshapen appearance “One gold royal per night” Time to try my bargaining'“One gold royal!? that is way to expensive! You are trying to rob me! Why, on the way here I was only charged 50 copper to sleep a night!”, Yes! that should get her price down. “Well that’s too bad isn’t it sonny? You can try the inn across the street thank you." She smiles as she showed me out the door. 'What just happened to me? I wasn’t even in there for twenty breaths and got shoved out the door' I think to myself stunned at the treatment.

Well no matter what happens I need to sleep and I'd rather it be in a bed so I go to the inn across the street. A large dark haired man waits behind a small counter in the entrance sitting and, what is he doing? I just hear some cracking noises. Looking over the counter I see him snapping beans into a bucket.

“What?” he tells me as I lean over. “Hi I'm just here looking to stay at your inn.””Twenty silver”.... “Is that for a night or, and food?” I am hopeful when asking. “Twenty silver will get you a bed for the night. Food is paid for separately, 40 silver extra.” With him looking up as he responds I see a craggy face well worn with the same brown eyes as the lady across the street.

“Well that’s much more reasonable than prices across the street. That lady drove me out by asking prices so high.” “She drove you out the door?” “Yes quite unkindly I might say.” “Sorry we have no room in this inn all rooms taken, goodbye.” And with that I'm shoveled out the door by him too. “What is wrong with this town!!!"

Waking up with a knot in my back is the worst! I think it going to take a while before I get out of bed. Sleeping in the straw was not my best idea. Really the only option though, when the only two inns in town kick you out! I think furiously. Today all I have on the agenda is getting some more food and water and setting off for the desert trail 'nothing in town to keep me here anyways. All that’s in this town is Stinky, Grumpy, Rude, Messed-Up People! My lack of a good nights rest might be kicking in.

I don’t have any way to get those innkeepers back right now but if I'm ever back this way.... Wax and wires. They Will Regret This! Maybe, if I ever come here again.
