in the wake of turmoil

What's Up?

Mafuyu and Aerith have hatched a plan to give Braphine's Chosen some time to relax and have fun together! And just in the nick of time...

Date and Location

Afternoon of Monday, October tth into October 8th
The Aquarium within the Office District

The sway of water

It's a normal morning for anyone who's managing to sleep a standard schedule- up until a mass text goes out, that is. Everyone will find the same thing from either Mafuyu or Aerith's username:

ONE NIGHT STAY-OVER AT THE LOCAL AQUARIUM, SCHEDULED MONDAY, OCTOBER SEVENTH!! All of Braphine's Chosen are invited to an exclusive event hosted at the aquarium where guests can spend the day taking tours and then sleep over in qualified areas. Dining will be provided, all we have to bring is ourselves, changes of clothes and pillows and blankets. (And yes, the floors will be extra clean.)

... Simple enough. And should you choose to attend, both your hostesses will be pleased to see you once it's time to head over.

As they said, the aquarium is largely empty save for the group, and it's definitely worth it. A serene song plays overhead while attendants give tours or explanations as needed. The variety of aquatic life is surprisingly vast as well, and spacious halls give way to plenty of opportunity to explore.

Come nightfall, certain rooms dim the lights but the tanks stay lit- or black lit as darker enclosures like the jellyfish hall and the octopus tanks remain- and only a few staff remain to keep an eye on things- so... stay on your best behavior. The two restaurants stay open- a regular fast food joint with kitschy island cabana theming, and a much more upscale lounge where Aerith plans on corralling the adults for fun this evening.

Once it's time for the age groups to split, Aerith will lead the adults to a pleasant lounge with more tanks, large couches or more private tables, and a view overlooking one of the main rooms of the aquarium- wave to the kids if they're there! Or don't. Bouquets of flowers are placed around the room, and it looks like Aerith has a few ideas already, though she won't stop anyone from going out to review the different sections again.

Contrasting Mafuyu, who is content to let the fellow teens do whatever- though if they do congregate, she's not really the social sort and will simply be content to enjoy the vibes. Even if you just want to take a nap somewhere, there's plenty of dark secluded areas to do so.

Out of character!

This log is for an ic sleepover hosted at the aquarium! All characters are invited but attendance is not mandatory. That said, there are still staff members ready to boot any troublemakers out. We wanted to keep the types of displays vague to give everyone creative freedom, and characters are welcome to flit about between groups as they desire, be it to check in or to to snoop or whatever. As discussed with the mods, this does count as an open event and can be used for rewards. Thank you all for your interest!

NEVER HAVE I EVER

[gardenful]

[ It's everyone's favorite, Never Have I Ever!

Reply with something that your character has never done, beginning with the phrase "never have I ever". Any characters who have done that thing will need to have a drink of their choice!

Have fun, learn many things, share some hot goss! ]

[gardenful]

Never have I ever... attended a wedding!

[ Starting off easy here!! ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Sipping. ]

[speedingticket]

[ Sooooo many weddings. Big chug of tequila. ]

[metagame]

[So, in order to be a Pharaoh and not just a regular king, you have to be married... Even though marriage back then was very different than now. So he attended his own wedding... But it was political? They barely even talk since she has her own shit to run? They're not even in the same part of the Field of Reeds!!

He sips his tea anyway as it'd be cheating otherwise.]

[moodwrecker]

[She is not drinking her soda.]

[beathollow]

( also not drinking. )

[supherb]

[No sipping here!]

[goei]

[As if Izou needed an excuse to drink! But he is.]

Really, not even one?

[cleansewithfire]

[ ....Well she can't say she hasn't at this point, so she'll sip her soda. ]

[bloodweapon]

[He's not drinking.]

[bloodandstars]

[ She's not drinking either, but she looks a little amused. ]

Seems like the kind of thing you'd like.

[speedingticket]

[ WHAT A FUN GAME ]

Never have I ever been to Japan!

[moodwrecker]

Never have I ever... been from a world with magic or people who aren't human?

[She thinks that should more or less cover "normal world."]

[beathollow]

Never have I ever had a pet.

[goei]

[What HASN'T this little freak done. He's already a little tipsy.]

Hmm... I ain't never... hooked up with two people at the same time.

[bloodweapon]

[Oh, this one's easy.]

Never have I ever been human.

[Or a Hyur!]

[vogelfrei]

Never have I ever introduced myself to anybody in Sunset City by using my birth name.

[ This should hopefully get a lot of you. And it is also part of his exposure therapy program where he's trying to be a bit more open about himself maybe. ]

[bloodandstars]

[ Help her... Maika is looking slightly stuffed standing next to Aerith. She needs something not gory or horrific, but that some people here might have actually done.

Fuck. ]

...Never have I ever— [ whoops, a glance at some of the younger participants: ] ...kissed a man.

[destage]

[Ahhhh, this is so exciting! Sayaka's practically beaming, giggling brightly.]

Never have I ever... [Hmm. What's a good one...] Drank alcohol!

[...It's low hanging fruit but you know what, you don't win this game by exposing yourself. Maybe people have some funny stories. But either way, Sayaka giggles after she says that.]

[fullmoonmutt]

Never have I ever, uh... hm... Gone to a school? Yeah. That.

[ Get drinked, nerds. ]

[emptyself]

Never have I ever... been chased by a bear.

[ he's going for the throat by going for some of the lower hanging fruit. ]

[imperiosity]

[there are so many options here but he GUESSES he'll try to go for something age appropriate]

Never have I ever had a hair color that wasn't red.

[perish, non-redheads]

[cleansewithfire]

Never have I ever been able to taste food.

[ Thanks Aaron for inspiring this- ]

late bc i fell asleep but it's fine

[moonshaded]

[God...what a pain. But this game is a little easier than the others, even if she doesn't, as far as she's concerned, have much interesting to say.]

I've never been stargazing.

[not kaine not even using the correct phrasing what an embarrassment this is.

Never mind that this is something that simply wasn't possible for her before. Everybody else is playing like a dirty little bitch about it.]
