And so, our hero arrives at Port Caerula. Having eaten all of his food supplies while aboard The Drunk Merman, Yuumaru is eager to eat some fresh, exotic food from none other than the best village in the world, Tsukigakure. I wonder what kinds of foof they have here in Death Country....Since merchants from all over the world come here, maybe their dishes are also cosmopolitan? The port was crowded, very crowded. But the stories that Yuumaru heard from his grandfather and Lady Chieko were true: Port Caerula truly lives up to its name.
The smells of a thousand odors fill Yuumaru's nose. The smell of sweat, the smell of merchandise, the smell of food, and the smell of the sea.... Everywhere, voices of peddlers and merchants and buyers jumbled into an entity of multiple voices. In short, it was beautiful. But Yuumaru reminded himself of his task: I am here on a mission....I need to get that vial of Onmyoton blood! But his stomach wouldn't have it. Just ten meters from the boat and Yuumaru's stomach had already growled for five times. I guess lunch would be great to have first, before I do anything else....
Yuumaru stopped by the food shop closest to him, and it was called "The Lunar Submarine." Hm, interesting name. I wonder what kind of food they have in store for me.He went in. The store was filled. The tables had no room, and the line was just unbelievably long. No matter, I'll use this to get to know people and more information about this village, and of course, about the Onmyoton Clan. As he slid in line, he looked around to see anyone free to talk to. It appears that everyone had at least someone they are busy talking to. Then he checked the line he was in. Maybe he could talk to someone without making a scene. He chose the old man in front of him.
"Hey, I am a traveller from Kusamura. I have a couple of questions about this village." Yuumaru began. The old man turned around. He was about the most abnormal looking person in the history of mankind. He had about three hair follicles on his head, and he had thick, square-shaped glasses. Seriously, square-shaped?! The man also had a big hairy mole on his nose. The mole had about nine hair follicles.
"Greetiiiiiings...traaaveeeeleeer." The man seemed to stretch out his vowels. His breath also reeked of two years without mouth washing! "Whaaaaat iiiiisss yooouuurr quuuueeestiiiooooon?"
"Um...yeah, um..." Yuumaru almost forgot his question, nay his purpose in life....that's how repugnant this old man was! "Do you know the locations of the clan compounds in Tsukigakure are? I'm looking for the Onmyoton Clan Compound."
"Huuhhh? Iiiiiff yooouuu waaaaaant toooo knooow soooomethiiiiing, yooouuu shooouuuld gooo tooo theee liibbraaaaaryyyy iin Fooortuuunaaa Caaastlee..." The old man then turned around, and, Yuumaru could almost swear, heard the old man say under his breath, "Stuuuupiiiid tooouriiist...."
After about two more hours of waiting, Yuumaru finally got to the counter of the food shop. "Can I have your specialty, please?" "Okay, one lunar sub coming right up." Sub? What the heck is a sub? Apparently one of the best things in life, as Yuumaru found out when he ate the three foot sandwich.
Okay, now I'm off to Fortuna Castle. Hopefully the Fortuna Library can provide me information about this village and the Onmyoton Clan.
As he was about to head out the entrance of the food store, someone had clumsily spilled water all over the floor. Yuumaru, being a clueless King of Ecchi that he is, did not notice the spillage, and consequently slipped. In his attempt to balance himself and hold onto something, he slapped a cup full of water and spilled it to a woman eating, drenching her whole body. Yuumaru then fell face first on her cleavage. To make matters worse, (OOC: or better, I suppose) he said "I'm sorry!" about ten times WHILE he was buried in the woman's cleavage. As he tried to regain his footing, he looked for something to hold onto, to get his legs up. For some reason, or maybe the reason was that Yuumaru is the King of Ecchi and the laws of physics do not apply to him, he ended up grabbing both the woman's breasts to pick himself up. Needless to say, he was punched by the woman so hard that he flew out of the food shop straight to (conveniently) Fortuna Castle.
