>examine room. Look for a light.

>The room is dark, so it is a little hard to make everything out. But from what you can make of the shapes in the gloom, there seems to be a toilet on the nearby wall, a sink opposite of it, and a light fixture overhead. You think you see a door across the room.

>The door seems like it'll open pretty easily. Also leaving the tub is both painful and brings home the fact that you aren't wearing anything.

>attempt to turn on the light.

>The light turns on. It is painfully bright for a moment, but your eyes adjust. You are indeed in a bathroom. You can see your reflection in the medicine cabinet over the sink. You've seen better days. And they got your panty-hat, too!

>You see there is a towel dangling off a towel rack near the bathtub. Aside from that, the bathroom looks pretty mundane. Sink, medicine cabinet, toilet, bathtub full of ice. Well, mostly mundane.

>Leaving the bathroom, you find yourself walking into what looks like an antique store. All kinds of curious and mundane items rest on shelves. To your left, you see a counter. Rinnosuke stands behind it, regarding your impassively. "Ah, I see you've woken up."

(Edit: I checked Rinnosuke's page on the wiki to make sure I got my basic datums right. There was a flash ad for Craftsman Power Tools on it. I laught)

That would seem to explain the ice. As for Suika, she probably wants a motorcycle.

>Rinnosuke folds his hands. "Miss Lorelei offered me an eel bezoar that she had recently come across, for which I paid her a handsome sum. She has, however, been unfortunately slow in giving me the agreed item. Out of politeness, I had refrained from paying her a visit. But, were you to collect my bezoar, I could see to letting you have one, perhaps two small items in turn, a well as whatever Miss Lorelei would bequeath you in thanks for your services."

>You rush to grab the empty wine bottle! As you take it in hand, though, Rinnosuke withdraws something from under the counter and stands. Turning to face him as you prepare to KO him, you see that he has produced what seems to be a minigun and has leveled it at you. "Did you really think that I had no way to protect my stock? Have you forgotten who my neighbors are? Now, put my bottle down and I shall endeavor to forget the last half minute."
