[ If you stopped there first, the owner of the Soy restaurant tells you of the motel he and his brother own near the top of the dome. He gives vague directions, but ultimately tells you and your crew to look for an annoying kid with a straw hat. Or maybe you wanted to explore that area first and end up spotting him. Whichever. ]

[ After climbing a whole lot of stairs, you finally reach the highest level of the dome. More shops and hotels line this level, but you're looking for a sign that reads D. MOTEL. There's a young man squatting on the ground, near the entrance. Seems like he's poking a stick at something... a... lizard.. The hell? The building itself barely stands at three floors. How're you and your crew gonna stay at this place? ]

[ Easy. This hotel, like all of the others on this island, is a capsule motel. Seriously. The place is a bit messy, but what do you expect when only two guys run a motel. The only rooms that don't have guy clothes thrown around are the baths and game room. Get settled and everything.... ya'll ( ... )

[Once Gibson made it to the Dome after those annoying back alleys, he's wandering around in a daze with what anyone who knows him might recognize as an uncharacteristically warm smile on his features. Crowded? Dark? Full of neon and lit by everything except that awful sun? For the first time since he's arrived in Paradisa, Gibson is reminded of home.

Eventually he finds himself outside the hotel, tilting his head at the kid outside.]

What are you doing?

[You're smaller than fully adult size. "Kid" is the only explanation he has for that.]

I'm Gibson. Sorry I scared it away.

Ahhhh! You did?! [ whips his head around and tries to look for the lizard again more frantically UUUUOOOH LIFE IS PAIN ] AHHH! YOU DID!

Sorry! Sorry. [His eyes widen a little at the reaction.]

Seems like there's plenty of them around, though? I bet you can find another one. [Though he could have been seeing rats. All small scurrying things look pretty much alike to him.]

[ keeping a hand on his straw hat, luffy jumps to his feet and starts eying the area for carefully ] But I wanted to see if they really did lose their tails!

[Gibson gets a dubious look. Lose their tails? Why would they do that?]

Are they supposed to?

That's what I was trying to figure out. [ moving to dust off his pants ] So what are you doing here?

[He grins a little.]

Just exploring. First time in your city, and I gotta say, I like it here.

Really? That's great! I know you'll have a lot of fun running around and stuff. I'm Luffy, by the way.

Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you, Luffy. Name's Gibson.

Is this your business place?

[After some exploration, and polite enquiries using a smattering of Japanese and Mandarin, Wes has located the motel which apparently is welcoming to outsiders.

He looks around curiously, and reading the advertisements and noticing the youth poking at a lizard.]

Hello? Are you the owner of this establishment?

Hmm? [ luffy turns around ] Yeah! I own this place with my brother. Hi!

Do you have rooms available? And I see that you also have bath and laundry facilities.

haki June 26 2011, 21:37:39 UTC
Uh-huh. [ dusts off his pants and moves to gesture wes inside ] How many people? We've got a lot of rooms, so don't worry about having too much or anything.
