Take a soak in the onsen. [Wide open!]
Characters: Dr. Kiriko
rhododendronic
Date: Feb 27th.
Summary: Kiriko decides to take a relaxing bath at the Onsen. She's in a good mood - why don't you join her, stranger?
Warnings: Nudity, which includes extensive scarring. Warnings will be added as needed.
Dr. Kiriko was in a mood to do something she hadn't done in a very long time. And without the usual burden of constant travel, the Death Doctor (or would it be more correct to say 'Chemist,' these days?) found herself with much more free time. She had become quite the workaholic in her past life... perhaps it was time for a change, at least until she could find a way home. But, why rush?
This particular 'something' ended up being a quick visit to the Japanese Inn's Onsen. She hadn't gone to one in well over half the decade. The Doctor stepped out into the main bath, and realizing she was alone, took her time finding where she wanted to sit. Her long, greying hair tied in a tight bun behind her head, there was nothing to conceal her body. Her bangs were brushed behind her ears, freely concealing her eyeless socket. Across her back and some of her chest, the scars from the war still remained, but Kiriko was far from shy about them. Her war wounds were but a fact of life. If other guests had a problem with the way she looked, they could sit somewhere else.
Head back and arms at her sides, the soothing effect was almost immediate. For the first time since her arrival, she smiled genuinely and soaked in the silence. With only the sounds of the water around, she hummed a low, contented tune.

"The one and only," she muttered, rolling her good eye as Pinoko entered back into the bath. What a healthy curiosity this one had, and Kiriko wasn't quite ready to indulge her. The girl was certainly right about one thing, she had experienced her fair share of pain in her lifetime.
"It's not a story for kids, I'm afraid," the Doctor answered teasingly. Maybe she'd be too hotheaded at the insult to ask any more questions.

It almost looked like the steam increased from her boiling hot temper, but then, she confidently turned her nose up, closing her eyes. "Pinoko's twenty! Plenty old enough to hear any shtory you've got.
Unlessit'saboutthisspringbeinghaunted."
She tried to doggy-paddle her way over to Kiriko, but it proved too deep after some distance, so she clutched the edge of the pool and sort of sideways mountain-climbed her way over, reaching from stone to stone.
To distract from her rather amusing little predicament, Pinoko theorized outloud and asked questions, rapid-fire, as she made her way over: "Did you get in a fight with a gangshter? Did a crow peck out your eye and its whole family came and attacked you after you killed the firsht one? Did you fight and get injured in a war? Did a bomb blow up and tear up your body and there weren't any good doctors around to patch you up right?"
