This is Pi's nonhome. There are three small rooms here. The first one a visitor-should one care to enter- would see is the training room. It is made to look mostly like a dojo. To the left of the dojo, there is the restroom made to be like a miniature Japanese bathhouse and onsen. On the right is a somewhat hidden door to a small room that holds only a futon that is folded for the day. What is disturbing about this place, is the color, or rather the lack thereof. Everything is the darker shades of grey or even black, and blurry like it's made of insubstantial mist.

Pi enters her place, and begins a slow stretching routine. She works through all of her joints, muscle groups, tendons and ligaments. Her body answers her demands readily. She slowly speeds up, warming up her whole self. Pi works through several empty handed attacks, blocks, and holds on an imaginary foe. After she is done with the hand to hand, she stops and reaches for her quarterstaff that rests on her back. Pi stops her routine and shakes her head. She heads out to the streets.

"Whew!" Pi sags agains a wall. "Stress...mmmm bath." Pi mutters incoherently to herself. She gets herself ready for a long soak.

After a good scrub, Pi slips into the onsen like bath and puts a towel on her head. She almost has to swim out to her favorite spot because the water runs so deep. Settling back on the rocky ledge that forms a natural seat, Pi allows her body to fully relax. "I needed this," she sighs.

After a nice, long soak in her onsen bath, Pi opens her eyes and sighs. "I suppose I should get out." Pi drifts toward the side of the pool. Almost reluctantly, she pulls herself from the ever hot water and dries herself off. Now wrapped in a yukata, Pi exits the bath and heads to her room. She flops on the futon and lays there for a while.

Pi soon grows restless just laying there and staring at the swirly grey ceiling. She decides to go outside again. Rising, she moves to her wardrobe to get her clothes.

Pi heads out to the main part of her dojo. She recalls her staff to her hands, and takes a few practice swings. After doing a light practice routine, she walks out the door.

Ebon exits the gate into the main part of Pi's dojo. He carries her to her room. Then Yurei enters and sets out her futon, and Ebon -almost tenderly- lays her on it. They both kneel besides their semiconscious mistress. She is still wrestling with her memories, but gradually, they are restoring themselves to their proper place in her mind. The process is not pleasant. Yurei and Ebon look at each other, then back to Pi. They both send, ...mistress, remember your training.... Immediately, Pi's breathing steadies, and a look of intense concentration replaces the horrified expression on her face. The two look at each other once more and nod before turning their gaze back to Pi.

Indistinct faces float by, some smiling, others not. Pi simply lets them do as they will, until one face in particular stops and hovers. It is the face of the one that caused her to fall. "...why...?" Pi asks the face. The face grins evilly as it slowly dissolves into blackness. Slowly, all of Pi's memories restore themselves to their proper place within her mind.

Abruptly, Pi sits bolt upright. "AH." Yurei and Ebon just keep watching her. "I....remember. Everything?" Pi blinks. "It's too much.....I'm going to take a bath." She nearly growls that out. After she storms out of the bedroom, the two look at each other. It had been just under an hour.

Pi roughly scrubs herself down before she slips into the onsen bath. The how water barely does anything to relax her tense muscles this time. ......i remember.....everything. For some odd reason, her eyes well up with tears and spill onto her cheeks. "I didn't want to..."

She splashes her face with some water as she tries to collect herself. "This is silly. I should want to know who I was so I can determine how to become whole again." Pi tries to relax.

She floats on her back in the hot, hot water. Her mind drifts randomly through the newly aquired memories that are not so painful. Pi thinks it is like being shattered for a long time, but suddenly shaken back into the right order.

Now Pi actively searches through her memories-both the pleasant ones and the not so pleasant ones. She searches for something specific.

After a while she finds what she is looking for. Her eyes widen slightly.
Ebon and Yurei are concerned (as they can be anyway) since this is the longest bath that Pi has ever taken. It's almost been two hours since she left them. They exchange a glance, as if to ask if they should go check on her. As one, the rise and head to the onsen room.
Pi sits up and puts her towel around her. She heads to the dressing room. She decided that a walk would be better for clearing her head, if that would ever be possible again.
Yurei and Ebon enter to find their mistress dressed and about to head out. Pi stares at the pair for a moment with an odd look on her face, almost wistful it would be called if she had emotions still. She slips past them with not a word. They look at each other again, then follow silently.
