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!

[ WHAT A FUN GAME ]

Never have I ever been to Japan!

[moodwrecker]

[She is not drinking her soda to this, either.]

[vogelfrei]

... Japan theoretically does not exist in my time, but I have spent a day of layover in the territory.

[ DOES THIS COUNT. He is uncertain. He mostly saw military port. ]

[goei]

[HOLD ON.]

What happened to it??

[speedingticket]

[ wtf... ]

What does that mean?

[beathollow]

I'm from Japan.

( drinking from her melon soda. )

[speedingticket]

You are?!

[ Have you ever seen a guy's head whip around that fast before— ]

Oh my gosh, that's so cool! [ Grasping Mafuyu's hands he's SO EXCITED ] A good friend of mine is from Japan, and I've always wondered what it's like!

[supherb]

[No sipping!]

I've been to a place that's similar from what I've learned, but not Japan itself.

[speedingticket]

Oh...

[ As you can see, this was a ploy to find people from Japan. ]

[metagame]

I lived in the Kanagawa prefecture for a few years.

[He sips more of his tea!]

Domino City... I believe they call it Yokohama in this universe?

[speedingticket]

Oh my gosh, you too?!

What was your favorite thing about it?!

[goei]

[Izou literally sitting here drinking his Japanese beverage in his Japanese clothes-]

That's an easy one, feels like a whole mess of us are FROM Japan!

[speedingticket]

There are so many more than I expected!

[ He's beaming! ]

Are you?

[bloodweapon]

[He probably has a vague understanding of what Japan is at this point, but he's not drinking! He hasn't even been to his world's equivalent (yet).]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Nnnot drinking. ]

Eh, dunno if I'll ever get to go there, even if it isn't that far.

[speedingticket]

But you're from the same world as Japan?

[destage]

...It totally counts when you live there, doesn't it...

[Another sip. She's gonna be so hyper tonight but it does make her chuckle a bit.]

[speedingticket]

It does!

[ Rutile seems happy! He puts a hand to his cheek. ]

There's so many of you!

[gardenful]

[ She's listening to the conversations around this one... ]

I don't think that even exists where I'm from.

[ So no sip for her. ]

[speedingticket]

It doesn't where I'm from, either. But a friend of mine is from Japan, so it's really exciting to meet more who are!

[imperiosity]

[No drink!]

Doubt that even exists on any map where I'm from.

[speedingticket]

Where are you from, then?

[beautifulknight]

[ ...Japan?

Neither has he. Argenti will pass on sipping here as well. ]

[townmusician]

Ehhh... I'm from there, too.

[Grumps and takes a sip!]

[strawsandals]

[ what's a japan ]
