Xena, we've been walking for hours, and no one has told us where to find an inn. Gabrielle complained, tugging on Xena's arm and trying to get the warrior princess to slow her pace. Can't we please stop and rest?
No, Gabrielle. The people here are strange, I don't trust them. We have to keep moving until we find an inn.
The bard grumbled, and continued to walk alongside Xena.

Yosho, who were those strange people? Aeka asked. The entire Masaki group was now sitting comfortably in the house, all talking about their odd visitors.
I don't know, Lady Aeka... but I think they are from far, far away. The wise man said, sipping at his tea.
Aeka nodded solemnly, and Ryoko rolled her eyes. Well the one woman had a sword, and by the looks of things she was all to eager to use it. I say we go find her and get rid of them both. Right Tenchiiiiiiii?
Tenchi winced as Ryoko's arms wrapped around his neck, and he carefully began to edge away. Er... Ryoko, why don't we just leave them alone? After all, they've left already...
Lord Tenchi is quite right! I must say, Ryoko I am appalled at your lack of understanding for two lost people. I know exactly how they must feel... Sad music begins to play in the background. I mean.... I'm on a strange planet... no way to get back home to my family and throne... stuck here on Earth... She feigned tears, and Ryoko sighed, shaking her head.
Yeah. Right. Anyway... Ryoko began, turning once again to latch onto Tenchi.
Lord Tenchi....
A sweat drop formed on Tenchi's head, and he quickly ran from the room. He called as he ran from the house.
Sasami groaned, setting down the checkerboard she had just brought into the room. Guess I'll have to play with someone else.

Xena! That's the third building we've been in! I'm beginning to think there aren't any inns here! Gabrielle exclaimed, stomping her foot and making an all-around scene.
Calm down, bard. Lets try this place. Xena said, pulling a resisting Gabrielle into a Holiday Inn.
Hello ladies...I didn't know there was a Xena convention in town. How lovely. Can I get you two a room? The man behind the counter asked politely as the warrior and bard walked in through the double doors, amazed when they opened by themselves.
Huh? Oh, yes... we'd like a room. And a bath.
A sweat drop formed on the mans head, and he nodded. All rooms have fully functional bathrooms in them... He began, and Xena nodded impatiently.
Yes yes, that will do then. She said, and the man nodded and began to type things into a computer, which Gabrielle was studying intently.
The man said, breaking the two from their scrutiny of all the strange things in the room. Your total comes to $215.00.
Xena reached into her pouch and pulled out a few Dinars. Is this enough?
The man laughed outright then, and clutched his stomach.
Oh my my my, you convention goers sure are silly.
Xena demanded, giving him the look'.
$215.00 ladies, or no room.
Sighing, Xena pulled out her sword and put it to the man's neck. You were saying?
Urp... these will cover very nicely, thank you. He said, taking the coins and rushing to shove them in the register.
Slowly Xena moved her sword, and the man gave her the key.
H-have a nice stay...
