Yeah, after an adventure like that? Shima lasted about five paces away from the return portal, where he summarily dismissed the giant bull-headed demon made of black fire that followed him out of hell (thankfully on their side and totally not a demon from that hell), then proceeded to take the sixth step and immediately collapse from exhaustion. Not... exactly a heroic return. Seriously, seriously not, but you can't win them all, right?
The next time he wakes up will be in the medical tent, a place he is not that thrilled to see but will admit it's a step up from waking up back in vampire hell or somewhere similarly awful. He squints — all three eyes, the third in his forehead having been a parting gift of his Celebration mask — and pushes himself up to sit on the cot someone had dumped him on at some point. Kind of them, yeah?
"Uh," he starts groggily, looking around the tent for anyone else awake or hanging around. The light, even in a dim tent like his one, makes him grimace. A headache as bad as his right now tolerates pretty much nothing. "Please tell me I haven't been out for, like, a week or something."
b. day 71, hot springs, HOTS SPRINGS
Demon-summoning induced headaches aside, Shima is happily accepting a whole lake as an apology from the Ringmaster. Sure, they all almost died and everything was horrible, but! He doesn't really hold grudges. Besides, the lake was great, but when he finds the hot springs?
Well, they aren't technically deep enough to cannonball into, but he will immediately strip to his boxers (typically, he would ditch those, too, but he will at least attempt modesty in case there are girls around, just this once) and leap in with a loud whoop and a huge splash, absolutely disregarding anyone else who may already be in there. So, there's a possibility you are about to get comfortably hot water in the face. There's also a possibility Shima's the first one there and already lounging happily in the springs.
In the case of the latter, he'll offer a cheery wave and a huge grin.
"Water's perfect! You goin' to stand there all day or are you coming in?"
renzo shima, ota
