And the celebrities themselves have to keep that image up. Like my favorite boy band back home- who knows if my favorite guy actually likes sports and has a pet wolf? I daydreamed about being famous, but I'm pretty content with what I have.

Oh, sure! Just let me know when you have all the details hammered out.

Depending on the size, it's not TOO bad. Just requires some cleaning, but I'm used to that. My siblings and I always fought over who got stuck cleaning the grease trap whenever we rented a big grill.

Yeah. Being famous doesn't seem all that great, not once you've gotten a taste of it. Though, I have been told I'm an introvert, so, maybe that's it?

Absolutely! I'm narrowing beaches down in the Heropa area. And I'm trying to decide how I want to get the other supplies. Odds are I could leverage the fact that I'm an imPort to get some good deals, but at the same time it's going to spread pretty fast once I actually put it out there. I'm not even sure if I'm technically allowed to do that sort of thing or if it's frowned upon in the imPort community.

If you can show me how, I'll clean it. I can guarantee I've cleaned things way worse than a grill.

That definitely doesn't help. Constantly being in the public eye doesn't sound like my thing.

Oh, trust me, people put stuff like this together all the time. You shouldn't have any trouble.

Sure, if you don't mind getting a little greasy. It's not difficult at all, you just need to be careful not to get it all over you.

It's a real pain.

Oh I mean, if it's frowned upon to be all 'hey I'm an import, I'll advertise your stuff if you give me a discount'.

Yeah. I don't mind at all. I mean, grease is nothing when you've been covered in blood. And worse, really. Also spending three months as a forest hobo in winter... Well, honestly I am not at all opposed to getting dirty. I'm just glad I can get clean afterward.

Oh, I see. I'm pretty sure some imPorts do that- can't say I personally mind.

... yeah, blood sounds a lot worse. But here, you've got a home and a warm shower. Or even a nice bath to soak in.

Yeah. I'll have to look into that at some point. Right now it'd be silly, anyway, since I'm trying to keep my being an imPort on the down low. If this whole monthly event thing is successful, I'll probably look into a storage facility, and then buy tables, waterguns, and other things that can be used for multiple events.

Showers are mankind's gift to themselves, and it is a most beloved gift. Having the ability to shower, and in warm water no less, is my favourite thing about being in a city.

I don't blame you there. Some people embrace their newfound fame right away, but, well... not all of the native population likes us, either. And it's easier to be incognito if nobody knows.

Honestly, there's nothing like it after a long day at the stable. And here I'm not sharing a single bathroom with my parents and my siblings.

Yeah. I mostly just want to let people get the chance to get to know me before I let it slip? I won't be angry when it does, because I'm pretty sure I'm very bad at pretending to be normal, but I'd like to give myself a chance to at least talk to people like normal human beings.

It probably makes it easier to stay in the shower for more than the minimum time possible to do so and still get clean. I know I've let myself spend more than five minutes in the shower since getting here. Warm water is really good for the joints.

I can understand that. It's better to be seen as a person than idolized.

Exactly. When there's 5 of us who need to get ready for the day all at the same time, and needing to use the toilet in between... it's chaotic some mornings. Dad sometimes just takes a bath in the slop sink in the restaurant when he gets desperate.

Absolutely. [ Or hated. ]

Sounds like you guys could have used a second bathroom really bad. But there probably wasn't enough room, let alone money to have one added. Right?
