You decide on pointing out the village sitting a short distance south of you. Before you can do anything else though Iris skips off chirping " Yay people, yay food, yay fun." You try to warn her it might not be that simple but she's already half way down the beach. On the plus side you finally figured out how to move. As it turns out you simply have to act on the impulse of wanting to move, without thinking about the mechanics of your movement. Well it seems that the rules of disembodied life are very different from corporeal life. Ok time to hurry up Iris is already at the edge of the village. Oh boy she just walked right up to one of the locals and started talking, and now they're walking over to a large building. Ok you're in ear shot now lets find out what going on. The random village girl speaks up, "Ok miss this is our local inn please head in and talk to Bennita she'll probably be behind the bar. She'll hash out a deal for you about lunch and a place to stay for the night." Iris quickly beams, "Thanks for the directions Ann here have some of the rani leaves I picked." 'Ann?' responds, "Oh thats not necessary I'm happy to help." Ann then walks off waving goodbye. You try to pry out how Iris was able to secure such a friendly welcome in the two minutes it took you to catch up to her, to which she replies "I don't know it just kinda happened." And with that she entered the inn...

... You follow her in to the inn.(ugh pun) and upon entering you see a bar to your left a door to your right three tables and Iris waltzing up to the old lady sweeping by the bar. Iris jumps straight into conversation mode, "Hi! Are you miss Bennita? I was wanting to see if I could stay here for the night." The old lady straightens up saying "Why aren't you a darling little thing, of course you can stay the night this is an inn after all. Fees just 3 copper a night meals included, we don't get many visitors coming to this island after all." Ok theres the rub because your fairly certain that Iris doesn't have any currency and your completely sure that you don't. What to do now?
A) offer to work off the fee.
B) see if some one in town will buy some of the herbs Iris gathered.
C) give up and resign your self to sleeping out side.

You note that Bennita seems rather frail in her old age and that the room could use a good cleaning, so you suggest that Iris could help clean in exchange for one nights lodging. At that Iris gets an irritated look on her face but Bennita only looks confused, plus she's still focused on Iris. You have a bad feeling about this situation, still you try to remind Iris that you don't have a body and thus neither need a bed nor have the capacity to help clean. Iris then pouts to you, "Fine. I'll help clean up the inn in loo of payment." Bennita responds looking even more puzzled, "That's a wonderful offer what with my son visiting the main island and my bad back, but why do you sound so annoyed when you're the one who brought it up?" Now Iris is the one who looks confused, though your fairly certain of where this is going. You quickly urge Iris to play along, Iris nods then addresses the inn keep, "Oh just I'm just upset that I have so little money right now." Bennita seems to accept this and responds, "Times have tough lately haven't they. Well no use in griping all day you can start by sweeping and I'll go prepare a room for you." As she walks away she calls out, "Diners at 6:00, we're having fish and noodle soup." With that the inn keeper leaves the room and Iris starts sweeping...

...As Iris sweeps she whispers to you, "what was up with miss Bennita? It was as if she didn't even know you were there." Thats because she really didn't know you were there as far as you can tell Iris is the only person who can see or hear you. You then try to explain that to Iris and that she needs to behave accordingly when other people are present. Iris then muses, "This is very confusing. So I can't talk with you when other people are around but you can still talk to me?" You affirm her deduction then continue with the chores in silence. After she finished sweeping, Iris continued on by dusting the furniture and then washing the bar counter. Its at this point that you start to wonder what's taking the inn keeper so long, she been 'preparing your room" for over an hour. You decide to investigate while Iris cleans up the bar. You then come to a hurdle, how do you get through a closed door when you don't have hands? Well if you don't have a body maybe you don't have to worry about corporeal barriers. And with that thought your on the other side of the door..

... And on the other side of the door you find a hallway, three more doors, and doubled over on the floor beneath a cabinet. You immediately go to get Iris, you also remind her to act as though you aren't there. Iris then heads through the door and calls out, "Miss Bennita, what happened?" The old lady in question replied, "Oh missy, I'm glad you came. I through out my old back agin. Would you please help me to my room?" Instead Iris walks over to the inn keeper stoops down and extends her hand. Suddenly a pink light envelopes Bennita for a few moments, and when it recedes Iris chirps, "There that should fix you up, how do you feel?" Bennita sits there stunned for a moment before she stammers, "You're a mage? I guess I should have known what with that outfit. Thank you though I feel a good ten years younger for that magic of yours. Your welcome to stay here as long as you like, after all magic that strong what cost me at least ten silvers on the main island." With that she shuffles off saying as she goes, "Your rooms at the end of the hall, you can relax while I start making diner." With that she's gone...

After mulling over the options for a couple of minutes you decide it would be pertanent to check out your acomidations for the eavning. So you and Iris enter the room. The room is fairly quaint about forty square feet in area. The 'bed' is a hamock hung from the reer wall. Behind the hamock is a latched window, and the floor has a blue throw rug cituated at its center. The only other point of note in the room is the small desk and chair on the right hand side of the room. After taking in the seen Iris peeps up, "Well... At least its dry and warm. It certantly beats sleeping out side, plus this room has a nice green smell to it." You can't say you know what green smells like, but if Iris is happy thats good enough for you, its not like you could use a bed even if you had one at your disposal. That brings up an intersting thought though, can you even sleep without a body, you don't even have eyes to close so how will that work? While your lost in thought Iris opens the window...

... From the now open window you can see up the beach that you and Iris walked down this morning. As the two of you look out at the beach a strong breeze picks up, blowing sand an leaves into the room. At this Iris quickly slams the window shut. Iris pouts, " Well I guess that wasn't the best idea, I'll have to ask miss Bennita if I can borow the broom at dinner tonight." You certantly agree with that sentament as you survey the debree stroon across your room, then somthing catches your eye. Amongst the various green leaves is a little fleck of red, which you in turn point out to Iris. She stoops over and picks up what turns out to be a red slip of paper. She looks at it for a second then states with a smile, "Its a five copper note, what luck." Having that earlier would have probably helped but your not going to complain. You and Iris search to see if anything else came in with the leaves, but it seems that the copper note was unsuprisingly a fluke. So you and Iris head back into the hall.
