Scarlet Mountain

Re: Scarlet Moutain

*Gielford sits gently inside of a cab, his hands folded on top of his lap as he glances out at the countryside, numerous trees flying by in a impressionistic blur as the cab speeds at an overly swift pace, dodging cars left and right like a mouse dodges the stones and sticks as it flees from the maw of a voracious cat. He gently puffs a cigarette, it mostly being burnt out, more out of boredom than relaxation, a slight, but steady, stream of smoke glazing the window as it seeps out of the opening of it. A blast of overly noisy music blares from the radio, but Gielford pays it little attention. Instead, he chooses to recap the little information anyone knew of the latest case. A girl named Yukiko Amagi was last seen around a location locally known as the Scarlet Mountain approximately two months ago, the latest of a case of disappearances around the hotel. It's most known for its elegant displays and gracious hospitality, but also for its vast forest surroundings. It's also known for its haunting rumors of both monsters being hidden in its mist, as well as a ghost of a woman rumored underneath the tongues of the drunken as being a siren, known to call for the lost to follow towards its bussom, and then devour the poor souls alive. Gielford would almost scuff at this, except his observations led him to believe that wolves could very well be within the hilly forests of this land. A far more worrisome proposition than he was led to believe... this case could, very well, take a morbid turn.*

*Alas, the cab stops quite suddenly, shifting Gielford's weight slightly as it does so, the Indian man glaring at Gielford. Without any instruction, Gielford pays the man and carries his luggage out of the cab, barely having the chance to close the door before the cab dashes off. He sighs, before looking upon the hotel. Truly its elegance isn't understated. He then glances one last time at a photograph, the only one he had of this Yukiko girl.*

Hm... A Japanese girl it seems, with long black hair. I highly doubt she'd be in a Kimono anymore though... I guess seeing the hostess may be a start here... still, from my understanding, she's actually the daughter of a well known hotel owner, why would she have disappeared here of all places...

*Gielford scratches the back of his head as he begins to climb up the stairs leading to the hotel.*

{hopefully I'm getting the general environment of this place right, I've only read the intro and the last few pages of this thread.}

Gerald hears a cab pull up and remembers that Lizzy is on break, so he heads off to cover the front desk.

"younger ha your funny she's nineteen....and lost for nine years; so you most have the wrong person..." he states.

*Gielford enters the hotel, giving the entrance a quick glance. Again, elegant as the outside, with a hint of polish and grace that the outside lack, but he swiftly notices a man at the front desk, seemingly setting up. Gielford gently walks up to the desk, his hands now inside of his pockets, as he glances at the man. A small, gentle smiles bears upon his face, choosing a relaxed disposition in order to help relax the both of them.*

"Hello, my name's Gielford Hayek, and I recently purchase a few day's rest at this hotel, I believe I have room 219. May I ask if the room's still available?"

Here u go

(Gerald hands over a key)

The Onsen is on the left wing and if u need anything else just let me know

 

[Cabbage]

Re: Scarlet Moutain

*Gielford smiles at the man *

"Ah, thank you."

*He then grasps the key and begins to walk towards the right wing, where he, correctly, assumed the rooms would be located. He looks at each of the door numbers, seeing numerous rooms empty throughout the hallway as he reaches the end of the hallway, leading up to a larger staircase. Room 101, room 102, room 103... all empty. It is the off season for most hotels though, as most families either have kids in school or are swamped in work. Plus, knowing this, the onsen would be mostly empty right now, and lord knows that could use the rest to recuperate his mind, and organize his thoughts. Nothing seemingly struck him as odd though, and the man bared no suspicious disposition. Gielford began to climb the stairs up to the third floor, noting that the stairs are kept in remarkable condition, although perhaps it's because no one is currently here. Surely the fact that the third floor has just as few current guests compounds this idea, but he swiftly arrives at his room, Room 302.*

*He then unlocks the room, and enters. He notices a small bed and wooden table, the bed placed by the rightward wall of the room, and the table placed in the middle. He also notices a small wooden screen door by the wall directly across from him, but otherwise he notices nothing odd. He sighs as he sits crossleg next to the table, placing his luggage onto it before beginning to organize his thoughts as to the case...*

Re: Scarlet Moutain

*A half-hour passes as Gielford gathers his thoughts. From his understanding, there was once an amusement park located somewhere nearby this place, he didn't know the name of it, but he knew that it was closed down after two children, a boy and a girl, possibly siblings, disappeared one day. He only managed to gather that from a scrap of newspaper he found at a library, otherwise, he found no other hint of the incidence. He heard hearsay about a few other disappearances, but he didn't know of whom disappeared or why, so it could very well be just that, hearsay. And he didn't find any indication of Yukiko's presence within this facility, but that would make sense, as otherwise, why call this case a disappearance? He sighs, as he barely as an indication as to how to approach this. Still, the man at the desk seems nice enough... still, mind as well relax while he is still here. He begins to pack up his luggage, placing the bag gently upon the bed as he walks out of the room, locking the door with his key. Upon his person now is merely a towel, the key, a lighter, and his pack of cigarettes, choosing to leave the photo of Yukiko behind in the suitcase. He walks down the stairs closer to his room, leading towards the left wing, and hence the onsen. He still found no signs of any other guest... he wonders if he's the only one now...*

(As it is getting late Gerald abandons the front desk to Lizzy and instead decides to soak in the onsen. He first goes to he room to change)

*Gielford furrows his right eyebrow upwards as he hears the girl. Are there really any other guests here? Why couldn't couldn't he have seen this, as this hotel is incredibly quiet, yet clearly... he quickens his pace towards the end of the hallway, seeing if he can catch up to the source of the noise...*

Re: Scarlet Moutain

"Oy, Ari come back here!!!"

She giggles with glee.
"NEVERRRRRRRRRRR" she yells pretty fast for a girl with an injuried leg right smack into Gielford. she starts to cry now that shes on her butt with a brusie on her head. Geilford notices she looks oddly simlair to the girl in the newspaper.

Is she...

*Gielford kneels before the girl, blustered from both her sudden appearance, as well as the fact that he led to her injury.*

"My apologies, you need help getting up?"

*He then holds his right hand, palm up, towards her, in case she chose to have him assist her up.*

Can she be... no, this is just one of those odd coincidences.

"Oh sir I am so sorry"
(Adam picks Ari up in one arm as if he is hauling a package and bows in apology)

*He then notices that another person already has picked her up. He stands back, scratching the back of his head as he does so.*

"No, it's my fault. Anyways, you two on vacation here?"
