The otherwise peaceful morning was but to an abrupt half - by audio-based standards -- as a large explosion rang through from the Western side of the town. Multi-colored smoke pooled out from the roof of the Freezerburn Librarium as Kotoe emerged from the doors coughing up a storm. From the confines of her shop, several books flew around her, using the front and back covers like wings as a few Chipsqueaks ran out for freedom from the inner workings of what was possibly the most dangerous store in the village itself. 

"...Urgh...Goddamn furballs..."

Her clothes a mess, some strange slime-like substance dripping off from her Songs, Kotoe adjusted her hat as best she could as she slammed the door closed behind her and began trekking through the village to head to the bath house. Her attempt at mixing a few potions had been unfortunately disrupted by some pets of hers, and now the little demons were on the loose after basically blowing her up. Uncouth and diligent in making her unhappy as always, she just...gave up for the duration of the morning. So it was to be a rare sight to see her trudging out of her shop, slowly opening the front door of the Cuttlefish Bathhouse once her walk led her there and bringing her smoking and potion-dirtied body to the front counter to request and pay for a bath tag.

"...If anyone asks, the explosion from the Librarium involved Chipsqueaks. ...How much does an hour cost again? I forgot."

...Which was normal, given her ways of forgetting just about anything that didn't involve magic. She had a bag of coins with her at least...She just hoped that she remembered to bring enough, what with it being early and her...[i]usually[/i] not visiting the bathhouse in favor of her own shop's accomodations.
