hot springs; [Contrary to what one might assume, androids are somewhat familiar with baths--or at least, this particular android is! Granted, baths also usually tend to be reserved as more intensive forms of external maintenance, if you've just really gotten yourself into a mess that'll take more than a cursory towel scrub to clean off. To the majority of androids baths are honestly considered time-consuming, kind of superfluous, completely unnecessary most days...and 9S loves them, incidentally!
Imagine his delight, then, to be introduced to the Actual Peak of Hot Bath Experience...! Deeper pools of water can become a hazard for androids too, but the notion of this hasn't quite stopped 9S from trying to submerge as much of himself as he can within safe parameters; visitors will find him nearly shoulder-deep a lot the time, collar still on but the rest of his clothes placed aside in accordance with the apparent norms. Any number of events could unfold from here, really, since--
1: --For one thing, he doesn't entirely understand what "mixed bath" actually refers to, and may or may not have just wandered his way into the first spring he found along the path. Having been functioning under an impression that these things would usually be segregated, this is a bit of a surprise! But, well--when your clothes are already half-off or you're already in the water--this is just some awkwardness for everybody to deal with now, whoops. Thank goodness for all this steam making embarrassment and avoided eye-contact just a little easier to field, huh?
2: 'Cursed springs' is an even weirder idea, and he sure isn't aware of it. One would wonder if curses even affect androids in the first place, and so far the evidence seems to point to...probably not?? 9S himself seems perfectly fine and unaffected enough after a bit of time spent soaking, anyway, which is why there aren't any warnings leveled towards anybody else visiting to use the spring too. But as time passes....ah, it sure does feel like a good time to doze off about now, doesn't it? Though the bits and pieces of memories that aren't your own, that keep filtering in every time your eyes close--yeah, that might be enough to startle anybody awake again. Maybe we should all make a break for it before the sleepiness really sets in??
3: Alternatively, or at least eventually, initial awkwardness is set to the wayside and the bath isn't cursed after all either. How nice!! Flushed and clearly enjoying himself, 9S seems more than content to burn several hours on just soaking....do androids even prune up like humans?? It sure doesn't seem like he's worried about the risk. Sometimes he'll even just, fully dunk himself in the water head and all, in a clear bid at savoring the hot water even more fully...! Though, uh, he does stay under for a weirdly long amount of time...when he does this....9S please, people are going to start thinking that you're drowning if you keep doing this--
But really, feel free to come bother him in any of these scenarios or one of your own! HOT BATH TIMES LET'S GO]
inn; [It's not necessarily the first time 9S has ever shared a room with somebody else before--but it is the first time he's ever found himself in a room with quite this much, luxury? Well, by all means and accounts most would consider this a typical decently high-end but comfortable inn room anyhow, but spaces with furnishings quite this elaborate are still plenty novel to him. Dressers and tables, an entire separate bathing room, plush beds and a screen door leading to a small balcony...the excess! The decadence?!
9S spends a solid five minutes just kind of poking through all these things as soon as he arrives, pretty clearly just barely able to contain his excitement. But at length he does at least settle down just enough to outright flop onto one of the beds, laughing a little at the soft give of it under his back. (The frame creaks kind of disproportionately compared to his size, but don't mind that. He still has his shoes on too...like a heathen smh.......)]
Man, this is something else! We've got access to all of this, seriously? [He fans his arms out over the covers like somebody attempting a snow angel...except it's like, a bed angel instead....blankets, though! Wild. He cranes his head to blink over at his roommate audience at length, beaming.] Oh, but right, I think somebody mentioned...a "curfew", was it? What's up with that, exactly?
you know that thing in ghost shows where all their tech starts acting up, well; [Does 9S maybe eventually learn what a curfew even is? Yes. Does that actually stop him from eventually wandering out of his room at later hours anyway? Absolutely not. He's a curious boy--he's literally coded that way, alas--
So here he is, snooping around...though he seems thoroughly preoccupied by something or other, should you happen to find him in the middle of your own wandering too. Poised near the end of one of the halls lined by inn room doors, and frowning a little--he almost jumps, upon finding somebody else coming up from behind, but then he's waving a hand in a beckoning sort of way.]
Hey... [Down to a whisper, as he knows this is kind of a stealth endeavor about now. But even as he leans close to continue, 9S pauses first, frowning some more and rubbing at the side of his head before glancing back over to the other end of the hall leading towards the stairs for a long moment. The space over that way seems dark and empty enough, and yet--] Hey, I think there's something over there? But I can't get any closer...
["Can't".......]
wildcard adventure option; [look idk there's a lot of possibilities here. please take him on a food journey. or maybe teach him how ping-pong works?! endless opportunity...]
