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!

Truth or dare, Izou?

[Hm.... He feels like there's not much that would be hard for him to say to Eli... so;]

Dare!

Convince someone you don't know real well to trade shirts with you!

[ Do it, doooo it. ]

Hah, yer just findin' an excuse ta make me take my shirt off!

[HE WILL ACCEPT!]

Eh?! No?! I'm making you get another shirt, not stay shirtless!

[ Ughhh, just go trade shirts alreadyyy. ]

[Well he got Haruka's shirt, but he's deliberately coming back over here before putting it on. There are hickeys on his neck but Eli's like the one person this shouldn't surprise.]

I got it!

[ Look here, asshole, he has a boyfriend?! Stop making him look at your sexy, sexy muscles?! And all those hickeys?! What the hell, McGillis?! ]

...why'd you wait to put it on?! [ Ugh. ] Okay, okay, your turn to ask.

You know why.

[NOT UNTIL YOU ADMIT YOU THINK THEY'RE SEXY!!!!!! Anyway he puts the new shirt on but he does it slowly to further torment Eli. Anyway yeah, his turn.]

Truth or Dare, pup.

Truth.

[ He isn't giving Izou a chance with a dare. ]

[Coward!!!]

Hm.... How much weight could you lift back home?

Hmmm.

[ He has to think. They tested this at some point, what was the number? ]

Uh, just over 900 kilos, I guess?

[HE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A LOT BUT JESUS CHRIST.]

Huh???

[ ??? ]

What? Is that a lot?

Even puttin' aside what a string bean you are, that's impressive as shit, Eli!

String bean?! I'm not a string bean! I'm just lean!

[ He's taking his jacket off right now and rolling back his shirt sleeve to flex an arm! Look! There's plenty of muscle there, they're just long ones?! ]

See?!
