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!

Ehe. Yes, that's it. Even if I can't, I still love the smell of them, and they're something light when I can't handle a lot.

[goei]

[Izou is nodding.]

Makes sense! I mean, some things smell good that don't taste good at all! I like how the sakura smell in the spring but sakuramochi's nasty if ya ask me.

[beathollow]

( me, a floral flavor lover: more for AMITY

mafuyu nods, but its been so long so she's not sure she understands something tasting bad anymore. that'll be a fun rediscovery. )

Mhm.

[goei]

[Speaking of.]

Do you think now that we beat up yer mom, you'll start tasting things again?

[Don't say it like that.]

[beathollow]

...

( why did you have to say it like that- )

I'm not sure. It's a symptom of a stress-based zinc deficiency, so... removing the stress will certainly help, but I don't know if anything else is needed...

Arven's certain he can help, though, but I've been too distracted to ask.

[goei]

[Izou... definitely doesn't know what a zinc deficiency is. But Arven's smart. He'll handle it.]

If there's one thing I trust him with, it's food, fer sure!

[beathollow]

You can trust him with a little more than that, you know. But, I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

[goei]

Mm, yeah, but that's definitely the things he's best at!

I mean, I'm givin' him a hard time, but if I actually thought he didn't deserve you, he'd already be dead.

[DON'T JUST SAY THAT.]

[beathollow]

I appreciate the honesty.

[goei]

And if anything changes you can let me know. I'll take care of it.

[beathollow]

Depends on how vindictive I feel.

( this is a joke. but she still appreciates your murderizing, nii-san. )

[goei]

[He appreciates deeply that she appreciates it rather than find it off putting.]

That's my girl!

[supherb]

[Elsewhere, Arven feels a chill roll down his spine and he's not sure why.]

[beathollow]

( NO BABE SHE DIDN'T MEAN IT )

[beathollow]

( that gets a little laugh out of her. )

... I like the idea of being all of yours. Like family.

( him, celeste, yi sang... the lanternfam in general, really. )

[goei]

[Izou doesn't get soft often, but with Mafuyu, there's no reason not to. So.]

... Me too. I haven't seen the rest of my family since I was alive. S'nice ta have a new one.

[beathollow]

... Well, you're a very good big brother. I always feel safe with you.

[goei]

[Oh.... If he had a tail, it'd be wagging.]

Good! That's means I'm doin' my job!

[beathollow]

And more.
