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 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. ]

[supherb]

Oh...huh.

[McGillis definitely gets Arven to sip with that one.]

Is McGillis like a code name or something?

[vogelfrei]

Oh, that would be amusing. I like it better than the truth.

[ Because deep down he's a dweeb. ]

No, it's because I'm adopted. I wasn't a Fareed for most of my childhood.

[bloodweapon]

I see you're not playing nice either.

[...He notably does not drink for that??]

[vogelfrei]

You opened fire, so you should not be surprised.

[ Even if he did somehow not hit you?? He is noting that in his little mental notebook. ]

[goei]

[Izou groans, because to him, the goal is to drink as much as possible. He's also not surprised since... he knows McGillis was adopted.]

I can't drink ta that!

[vogelfrei]

Wait, you can't?

[ WHAT IS YOUR BIRTH NAME; IZOU?? ]

[bloodandstars]

[ Well, one more for the road! ...One more soda. She shrugs after she sips. ]

Pretty good one.

[ Although she's kind of impressed by the number of cagey bastards, but hey. ]

[vogelfrei]

Thank you, I try.

[ And it's good that not EVERYONE is suddenly outing themselves as using an alias. ]

[fullmoonmutt]

Ha, I don't got to drink for this one!

[ Ha ha, sucker, two can play the adopted game. ]

[vogelfrei]

Do you remember your name from before?

[ He's not going to make him drink regardless of answer, he's just curious. ]

[destage]

[ANOTHER DRINK...honestly, everyone's being so creative, it's funny.]

Very well played!

[metagame]

My birth name's easier to say...

[And he sips.]

[vogelfrei]

The other option would be your formal name?

[ By now he's surely heard whispers that Atem is a pharaoh and actually: that's interesting!! ]

[beathollow]

Bullying!!

( taking another sip of melon soda...! )

[emptyself]

[ he doesn't drink?? ]

[cleansewithfire]

[ ...Sunrise is squinting at her drink for a long moment like she's trying to decide if her situation is applicable... ]

[vogelfrei]

What's making you hesitate?

[ledbythewind]

[Yeah, he's drinking because he's not Hubert--]

[imperiosity]

[Drinks because of course.]

[beautifulknight]

[ ...Unless Honkai bamboozles me, Argenti really is very likely his birth name, so here he is, taking a sip. ]

How creative!

I'll truly be amazed who you won't manage to get with this one.

[ Unexpected for him to throw something so personal out there, but it isn't a bad idea. Party games are all about the beautiful nature of ~bonding~! ]

[vogelfrei]

More people than I thought, honestly.

[ Name changes all around!! ]

Looks like a lot of us had various circumstances in their lives.

[moodwrecker]

-Wait, what?

[She's so shocked she forgets to drink.]

[vogelfrei]

It's not that uncommon for people to change their name, is it?

[ Boo, it's him, the big dishonest man, etc etc. ]

[speedingticket]

Wow...

[ Wow what? He drinks, this is like his 7th bottle. Of what? Who knows. ]
