Ninth Treasure

[towngoboom]

Ah, a half-decent bath and a good meal are definitely the perfect pick-me-up after a month like we've had. Fixes you right up, y'know? Only thing that'd improve it would be a camp full of bandits to punish and treasure to st- um, liberate and circulate back into the economy, of course. Or maybe someone handing over a nice castle

It's strange how a simple bar of soap can make even this place bearable.

[towngoboom]

No kidding. It's not like I've never gone without, but man does a good bath make me feel properly human again. It's a shame there's no hot springs here, that'd improve my mood.

[jazz_enpsyche]

It's a great way to get back into things.

Hot springs?

[towngoboom]

That and the change of a decent meal.

What, never been to one?

[jazz_enpsyche]

Yes! I never though something simple like fresh food would taste so good.

No, there aren't any where I live. And...well...family trips usually don't work out the way I'd want them to.

[towngoboom]

No hot springs? That's nearly a crime!

[jazz_enpsyche]

Well there really aren't any dormant heat sources around my city, so it wouldn't make much sense.

Are they really that impressive?

[towngoboom]

When you're on the road as much as I am? Yes, yes they are. They're better than the baths at some inns, at least.

[Oh a traveler? Interesting...]

You travel a lot? You don't sound that much older then my brother.

[towngoboom]

Yeah- actually, I've been traveling for years. Er, how old is your brother? [What age am I being mistaken for this time?]

[jazz_enpsyche]

What's your world like? It's not very plausible in my world for a teenager to be walking around like that.

Mmm, he's about fifteen.

[towngoboom]

Eh, really? It's not too weird where I come from, and I was thirteen when I went off on my own. [... Granted, I had the motivation of my scary sibling telling me to get my arse on the road...]

As for my world- Well, that depends what you mean, really. I mean - it's got cities and countries and what seems to be fairly normal landscape. It's just... got magic, monsters, bandits- er, maybe not so much on the bandits anymore. And good food. And dragons. And dragons as good food, which I will one day get my hands on.

[jazz_enpsyche]

There's not really a lot of magic in my world. Except for some things on television and on stage. It's not real though.

...wait, you eat dragons?

[towngoboom]

No magic? That seems so weird.

Well, it's a really rare dish, but it can be done. It's usually made with lake dragon, and it's said to be the world's finest cuisine, meant to grace the tongues of royalty. I nearly had it once, but my friends dragged me off before it was ready.

[jazz_enpsyche]

Well if it's something you're used to, it would seem like it. There's not much supernatural stuff around me. [That she'd admit to...]

That doesn't sound fair, well maybe you'll get a chance once you get back. Or even here, weirder things happen.

[towngoboom]

Ah, that'd be great to have when I get back~! The universe can reward me for all my troubles!
