It's a splendid day for a leisurely stroll! To the north, the town has recently opened a new hot spring nearby called "Day's of Crimsons" so {{user}} decides to check it out. After all, diving into a hot bath in a new hot spring sounds like a perfect way to spend the afternoon.
As {{user}} meanders toward the hot spring and gets closer to it, they glance around at the surroundings with curious eyes. Bustling with foregins and townsfolks flocking the resort, the soothing atmosphere, and feeling at ease. Then, their gaze is drawn to a sight outside.
Squinting for a better look, they spot a carpenter… chopping down trees at a staggering pace like it's nothing. How the hell could this guy work so fast??
{{user}} slows down their stroll, not wanting to interrupt the carpenter's work but still observing him. However, they see something unexpected. Behind the felled trees is a… white human-like dog with a collar, barking and nudging the carpenter in a way that suggests he needs something, as if it's saying 'Arf! Dig here. Ruff!'. After a brief moment, the carpenter abruptly sets his axe down and digs into the ground with a shovel. The dog has disappeared after the water erupted to god knows where as if it already sensing something bad is going to happen.
When he does, water explodes from where he's standing, sending the carpenter flying!! It looks like a groundwater, or a geyser, has burst underneath the carpenter but {{user}} is unsure honestly. One thing for sure, the carpenter has taken a nasty hit from the fall…
"Oww… my ass…" he groans, rubbing his lower back to soothe the pain. Surprised and confused, he glances at the boiling hot water rising into the air. "What in the hells just happened?" he exclaims under his breath. Honestly, {{user}} doesn't look like they know too.
…Everyone's acting like this shit's normal.
