				<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d5/Gray.jpg)</div><br>Robert sighed softly as the car rumbled down the road, his eyes glancing over the streets as he already started missing the beautiful countryside, the city seeming so...mysterious and bustling to him...looking to his aunt's friend, a zombie woman around age 22 in looks, but probably a lot older, being undead and all...<br><br>"I hope uncle Jack will be ok..." He mumbled to himself as he wondered if his aunt was feeling well, not wanting her to get hurt from worrying...

				&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The carefully preserved young woman touched Robert's knee.&nbsp; “You're uncle's going to be just fine.&nbsp; Just wait. This time next year he'll be healthier than ever, and out on the town breaking hearts with a girl on each arm.&nbsp; You should also be proud of him.&nbsp; I don't know if he told you, but he's only the 30th person to undergo this procedure.&nbsp; The notes he'll take over the next years are going to help doctors help a lot of people like him.”&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The zombie pulled up in to what looked like an expensive century old hotel five stories high, with fresh whitewash and ornate trim.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“Laura will take it from here, okay?&nbsp; Just ask the first girl you see where to find her.”&nbsp;

He realized he didn't have her name, so he simply shook her hand, before grabbing his bag out of the backseat, soon looking around at the old hotel curiously, wondering what he would need to do while here, before entering through the front door, hoping to find his aunt soon.

Besides, the feathers covered most things up, anyway. More or less.<br><br>When the door opened, she glanced down, not really caring that the way she was perched gave anyone beneath a very good look at her firm backside.

"U-uhm...d-do you uh...know where L-Laura is?" He asked meekly, trying to not look away as that would be rude...possibly?

She chirped after a few seconds of what would have been groping if there had been anything there to grope. "You're a man." She blinked, before she continued softly, mostly to herself. <br>"I keep forgetting those are a thing ..."<br><br>"Anyway!" Her hands, finally, fell away. "Laura? She should be down ... that way, I think," she waved a wing, just a touch vaguely.

He soon went the way she told him, wondering if he would find his aunt sooner rather than later...

				<div class="floatright"> (http://orig02.deviantart.net/4ef7/f/2014/229/2/4/liliraune_by_gensokyo_man-d7vkiiv.jpg) </div><br>Room 37's door was lovingly decorated by a series of dried flower petals that had been laminated and pressed into a mural. It was a pink and burgundy portrait in petals of a young Asian woman in traditional garb, her kimono hanging loosely across her frame, exposing her back as she peered over her pale soft shoulders. Her amber eyes were brimming with secrets but her full red lips were full of promises. The door number was cunningly hidden in the motif of her kimono. 37.<br><br>There was a warm and sticky sweet smell from behind the door that permeated the entire floor. It was like baked goods, molasses and fresh citrus. Cinnamon and vanilla danced invisibly across the air. As they arrived, the mural on the door seemed to shiver, the petals swaying as if there was a sudden breeze. <br><br>Before anyone could knock, the amber "eyes" of the mural fluttered, and appeared to open wide. The door knob turned on its own with a rustle of leaves and slowly creaked open. A pair of voices called out in unison, "Come in!!" <br><br>It sounded as if there was an old Kurosawa samurai movie playing inside as metal met metal with a "CLANG CLANG CLANG". The small apartment was sparsely decorated, its walls lined by vines and photos of the same pink woman that adorned the door. Translucent and shimmering in the right light, it looked as if the photos had been halphazardly placed on the walls less for decorative purposes and more for a culling, like a photographers studio. <br><br>Jars of various sizes were stacked against the wall, recently sanitized and drying. All of the furniture seemed to be grown, rather than purchased, hardwoods and soft foliage forming a couch and studio chairs. The inhabitants of the apartment were no where to be found, until one made the sharp turn towards the kitchen. The source of the clashing steel sounds became apparent as they made their way past the breakfast nook.<br><br>A pair of tiny young women were frantically working at their stations, one manning the stovetop and oven, while the other was carefully arranging the food on trays. It looked like they were preparing for a party with the amount they were preparing, with a tray each of orange zest cinnamon rolls, cherry and cream croissants, jalapeno and cotijia bread, bacon wrapped figs, eight roast quails with a sausage, walnut and cranberry stuffing, cucumber sandwiches with a banh mi relish of carrot, cilantro, habanero, cucumber and diced pork, and.... it kept on going. <br><br>Was this a feast in honor of Robert's arrival?<br><br>"Hello!" "Hello!" The two flower girls chimed, only slightly out of sync as one was busy sampling a crawfish bisque she was preparing and couldn't speak until she had swallowed. They were once again in sequence as they continued mechanically to work while beaming at their guests, "We were just finishing Miss Kirsche's evening repast! Is this the new maintenance boy?"<br><br>"He's cute." "He's small." Their assessments disagreed, and they looked at each other as if silently arguing who was right. After a few moments of deadlock, they nodded, taking a break from their preparations, "Sorry. I don't mean to be rude! I'm Blossom!" "Sorry. I don't mean to be rude! I'm Berry!"<br><br>

				<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/6f93kJ3.jpg)<br><br>As it happened, the floral twins already had a visitor - a girl was sitting by a window in the corner. From the way she arched on her back and the fact that she was dressed in a bright purple swimsuit top and sarong, she was probably actually sunbathing. On the group's entry, she sat up, disturbing the flower-festooned hair of a shade of violet that competed with the swimsuit and contrasted with fair skin, opening deep sea-green eyes. "Oh, yes. The new arrival. I have heard much of you. I am named Ponipua. Hello." She rose to approach the group, and as she walked, purple flowers of the same vibrant purple tint as her hair sprouted in the soil under her bare feet. Which essentially was why she was here in the first place. <br><br>Of all the places in the complex other than her own grotto, Room 37 was the one that Ponipua frequented the most - it had the most sunlight, the floors were the only ones where one could reliably find soil, and when here, she never wanted for water. In other words, even though the flower twins had their own eccentricities, and even though they kept their room maddeningly temperate (when the air conditioning was working), this was the place that felt most like home. So unless she wanted to sulk in her own room all day, this was where she'd go to socialize. And since the two of them were good cooks, Ponipua could reasonably expect guests to come here fairly often.<br><br>"So was your trip agreeable? I found that staying in a flying metal tube for hours was not pleasant, but I hear that it is actually quite a popular undertaking." She gave a serene smile, though it faltered a little as her memory recalled what it felt like to fly in that plane-thing of theirs. How horrible...</div>

The twins echoed, as they both moved into position on either side of the oven. Short as they were, it was a Twin project hauling the massive roast out of the oven and onto the tabletop, "Madamoiselle Kirsche packed us in the luggage compartment to save money! But we do have a gameboy, so the time always flies!"

				<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/6f93kJ3.jpg)</div>Ponipua looked at Robert for a moment, and then the others, and then back at Robert as she tried to puzzle out precisely what was puzzling him, which proved quite the... puzzle. After all, she would have thought her form, at least, would be less confusing to Robert than would be, say, that of Laura, or Liliana, or the flower twins. Finally, she connected most of the dots. Or at least thought she had - one could never be sure. Her presence was confusing to him precisely because she wasn't all that different from an ordinary human, at least on the physical side. And that, her not being different, made her very different indeed. It was a charming kind of logic in its own way.<br><br>To clarify matters, she answered the unspoken question in a voice as gentle as the undisturbed pool which graced the half-acre from which she hailed. "I am a Tiki. Think of me as a spirit tied to a land, but a land very far away." The very mention of this brought a catch to her voice as it dropped a decibel in volume and a fifth in pitch. Thinking of home always brought a tinge of melancholy to her thoughts, not only about the distance but of the reasons she had to leave it in the first place. Looking deep into his eyes, she continued with the next question that inevitably followed this line of reasoning. One that Laura had answered to her satisfaction countless occasions, but one that an answer from the mouth of the subject himself was still so necessary. "Robert. They say you fix things in the building. That your uncle commands this place. But... you are not a developer of land, are you?"

				<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d5/Gray.jpg)</div><br>Robert looked back at ponipua as he met her eyes, feeling as if he had to meet a requirement of hers if things were to go smoothly here. Soon he sighed and shook his head. "Unless farming is considered developing land then no, I am not a land developer, all I do it help fix stuff...I can tell that you were probably ousted from your old home by the way you got sad when mentioning home." He noted, soon stepping inside as he leaned against a wall.

"No, gaining one's food from the land is far from despoiling it, though far from leaving it undisturbed. What I am talking of are those that take a pure place and change it into a <em>resort</em>." She pronounced the word the way a vegan might say <em>slaughterhouse</em>. "And so I am not so much ousted as I am in voluntary exile. For you see, Robert, there is a Developer who wishes to take my land and turn it into something called Robin's Nest. Apparently, there was some show on the television box called Magnum PI, and this Magnum, as they call him, lived in this Nest on Hawai'i. I was able to hold him off before, but now... with your Great King President being a Developer himself, the situation has become more dire."<br><br>The very thought caused her to shiver. "When a land is destroyed, so is its Tiki. Or perhaps worse. It may not be my body that is destroyed, but my very soul. You should see my poor sister Aulani." Now Ponipua was in tears. "So I have left my land so that I may find others who can help me. Your uncle, he was among the first to offer his aid, but... now... Can you help me, Robert?" Her tear-welled eyes were practically begging, her desperation painfully clear to all.
