<strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">UNKNOWN ABANDONED VILLAGE; UNKNOWN MOUTAIN RANGE</span></span></strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><strong>Time:</strong> Late afternoon (Day 3; unknown day, unknown month, unknown year)</span></span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><strong>Weather:</strong> Heavy cloud cover; Light winds; Moderate cold</span></span><br/><hr/><br/><strong>SUNKISSED, Catherine</strong><br/>It doesn't take Catherine too long to establish a blaze in the fireplace, allowing the inside of the in to regain a measure of warm and light, from it's otherwise darkened and lonely state.<br/><br/>For the most part, at least from what Catherine can make out, a lot of the foodstuff that has been left lying around has been there for probably a couple of days, or even a week.  The cold has, in large part, been responsible for keeping it going as long as it has, though most of it is still inedible.  Food that has been stored in the inn's pantry has fared a bit better, except for the hanging beef and mutton.<hr/><br/><strong>KUROYAMA, Yuki</strong><br/>The horse, or Nubian Grace, as Yuki now calls it, responds readily to her attention and the food provided to it, which, from the looks of it, has been on the verge of starvation for at least a few days, having exhausted all the hay and most of the water that was in the stables.  Fortunately, oats found in the back of the inn's pantry seem to do the trick and the animal greedily feeds on what Yuki provides it with.<br/><br/>The horse's nervousness and skittishness quickly seem to fade in the presence of other living beings and it was likely that if left here any longer, it might have gone feral if it didn't starve to death first.
