On The 31st Of May Morning, Our Damsel Deuteragonist Doomia Arrives By Boat In Jericho Kingdom, Hoping To Join In On The Moonlight Of Stars Festival Tomorrow And Take The Time Today To Make Some Friends In This Kingdom.

Seeing Jericho Kingdom For The First Time, Doomia Was Stunned, Surprised And Amazed At The Sight Of This Place As She Took Some Photos With Her Octophone, Seeing How Different It Was From Her Home In Inkopolis And Octo Valley. The Buildings Looked Much More Older, Medieval And Steampunk-Like Like They Were From Much Older Centuries, Ages Of Long Past Even, Despite The Modern Era Now. Even The Shops And Gift Shops Had Some Clothes That Resembled Centuries From The Modern Era.

As Doomia Got Off The Boat Walking Into Jericho Kingdom, She Looks Around For A Moment Taking In The View Of The Castle Town Before Then Noticing Some Locals Giving An Odd, Cautious And Uncomfortable Look Towards The Octoling Girl As If They Think She's Some Kind Of Creature Or Alien. But They Didn't Seem To Be Sure Of Such Since She Doesn't Seem Like Much Of A Threat Right Now. This Concerned Doomia About Herself Around These Humans, But Take A Small Breath To Ease And Relax Herself Before Continuing On And Enters The Kingdom With Self-Assuring Confidence. As She Walks Through The Castle Town, Most Of The Villagers Living In The Town Including Children Are Surprised And Curious With Little Amazement At Doomia And Her Octoling Appearance While Some Looked At Her Also Surprised Yet Confused And Little Signs Of Disgusted. Doomia Then Sees A Old-Looking Hotel Built For Visitors Of The Modern Era Nearby And Decides To Move In There For A Little While.

"Excuse Me? May I Have A Room For Maybe.. A Week Perhaps?" Doomia Asked Kindly, Looking Up At The Manager Who Is A Lanky Mid-60's Mustached Gentleman Working As The Receptionist As Well As The Manager Of This Small Hotel.

"Hmm? Oh, Well Of Course Young Lady. I Can Do That For Such A Kind- Eh? Umm.. Oh! Why, This Is Quite A Surprise." The Receptionist Replied Kindly, Before Looking Around In Confusion For Who Said That Before He Then Looks Down And Sees Doomia. The Elder Receptionist's Eyebrows Even Raise A Bit Exposing His Eyes, Indicating His Surprise To See A Girl Like Doomia For The First Time In Jericho Kingdom.

"Is Something Wrong, Mister??" Doomia Asked, Worried About The Receptionist's Reaction To Her.

"Oh No No No, Not At All Miss! I Apologize Truly, It's Rather A Surprise To See A Person Like You Here In Our Kingdom. Most Visitors We Get Around Here Are Humans Mostly. But You Do Seem Like Quite Friendly And Sweet Like Them, Little Lady." The Receptionist Responded, Quickly Apologizing For His Reaction And Complimenting Doomia's Appearance, Being The Respectful Kind Gentleman Of A Hotel Receptionist He Is.

"Hehehe, Why Thank You Sir. My Name's Doomia. I'm A Octoling From Inkopolis." Doomia Said Cheerfully, Flattered By The Receptionist's Kindness And Introduces Herself To Him.

"Inkopolis, Eh? I've Heard Tales Of That City. Something About A Great Turf War Or Something Like That, Involving Your Kind As Well As Inklings, Yes? Sounds Like A Great Home. Well, You're Welcome To Stay Here As Long As You Like, Especially For The Festival Coming Up Around Midnight Soon. Just Need To Check You In For Your Requested Length Of Your Stay Here And Some Required Pay To Go With It." The Receptionist Replied, Remembering Some Stories From His Youth About Inkopolis And It's Inhabitants Before He Then Allows Doomia To Stay In His Hotel And Also Asking For A Rental Fee.

"Oh, Of Course! Silly Me. Here You Go." Doomia Said, Taking Out Some Money She Brought From Home And Hands The Required Fee To The Receptionist Who Looks At It For A Moment In Curiosity And Confusion.
