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

Our suite looks rather small, considering the rest of the place. Several stories full of luxury, and timeless yet old-fashioned accents. I think the green paint could use some touching up. It looks a little like my Army fatigues after a tough day. Our suite definitely needs repainting.

Mom and Dad offered us their suite, but Adella and I said a flat NO. After all, we're the temporary bosses, or the relief crew. We're not in charge yet. I'm sure the Hilton family didn't just put the next generation in the penthouse suite.

Adella is relentlessly sunny. "This is better than anything in Beverly Hills."

"Needs new paint," I comment. "I mean, a fresh coat."
