Van Thomas has just inherited a house from his late grandparents in the countryside and has moved into it--only to realize the house is a rather popular resort that serves all kinds of customers all year round. As the owner and manager of the building, he realizes that the inn caters to an unusual clientele, and has an even more unique staff. His secretary is named Daji. A pirate named Waverly Leviathan with   resemblance to Poseidon often stays. Daji's nephew often stays and calls himself Sun Wukong. A novelist and screenwriter, Athena, is working on a masterpiece. Then there's the CEO named Odin and his twin sons named Loki. Could these mythological connections be more than coincidence?

The Wendigo Inn

Daji's response to Wukong is sharp. "Now, now, let's not prejudge."

"Unbelievable," Wukong fumes. "You know perfectly well--"

From Daji's stricken look, she's completely in the dark. "Wukong, I don't know what happened between you and Wendigo Will--"

"Oh, you don't?" Wukong bares his sharp teeth. "Fine aunt you are."

Athena scoffs. "It would take an army of aunts to know all the mischief you've gotten up to, Wukong. And Daji has always been your strongest defender."

My eyes narrow at Wendigo Will. "Eating our enemies is OK. Keeping secrets, especially about a valued member of our senior management, is not. Whatever happened between you two in the past, I want to know right now. Tell us all."

Wukong bristles, brandishing his staff. "It doesn't matter. He can stay here, but he is NOT allowed near this committee."

Will scoffs. "He is the sorest loser at cards."

The fur on Daji's ears puffs out. "CARDS? That's what this is about?"
