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:

... 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!

[Of course it's related to Mafuyu.

At least he doesn't have any difficulty with answering the question.]

No. This is my first time dating.

[Yeah he started with an easy one.]

Hm, makes sense with how awkward you are!

[WOW???]

Huh?? I'm not awkward!

[Arven. Please.]

Eli! C'mere! Back me up! Picnic's awkward, ain't he?

[ Turns to look between the two, thinking. Hmmmm. ]

I mean, about as awkward as you are, I guess.

Wh- What's that s'posed ta mean!?

[lol]

I mean, come on. How long did it take before you went on your first date, huh?

I been on dates before I got here, Eli!

[HIS WEIRD SITUATIONSHIP NOTWITHSTANDING, HE HAS EXPERIENCE!!!]

Uh huh, sure. So when was your first one? Did you ask 'em out, or did they ask you out?

Mm... I guess I was probably like sixteen? Girls didn't really do the "askin' out" back then, so I asked her, but to be honest I probably wouldn't have if Ryouma hadn't talked me into it, cause she'd told him she liked me.
