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!

How'd you not have one? You got amnesia or something?

[bloodweapon]

...Yes. I lost my memory around five years ago.

[Technically true, but not actually the reason why he doesn't have a name...?? Fray's existence is Complicated and he doesn't want to get into specifics.]

[goei]

[Hmmm.]

Well then as long as yer not the one who killed that guy I guess it's fine!

[bloodweapon]

Oh, certainly not. He was killed for being a "heretic".

[Thus tying back into that religion he's kinda-sorta destroying!]

[goei]

[RELIEF! Izou's not going to get into any of that. Fray can go destroy religion if he wants.]

Oh, good, as long as yer not some sorta lunatic!

[bloodweapon]

[. . .]

Did you think I was...?

[goei]

I mean I wouldn't have thought you were, but I had ta make sure. Just in case.

[bloodweapon]

[Ah, for Argenti's sake, got it. Fray nods.]

Rest assured that I am not, then.

[goei]

That's good! Like, if you killed people, obviously I don't give a shit [It's be very hypocritical of him.] but being weird about it is another thing.

[bloodweapon]

[A nod!]

Of course. I understand the concern, given how little context you had for my earlier statement.

[which wouldn't happen if he'd just TALK ABOUT THINGS but this is fray, He Will Not.]

[goei]

Yeah. Plus even though I'm pretty sure yer a good guy, yer also pretty hard ta get a read on.

[As perhaps one of the most transparent people here. Izou would know.]

[bloodweapon]

I won't argue that.

[He too is a cagey bitch.]

[goei]

See that's exactly the kinda answer I'm talkin' about! Even when I almost killed you, you were all polite about it!

[bloodweapon]

I saw no need to make it into a spectacle.

[goei]

Well why not! If it had been the other way around I'd have been cursin' you out and all sorts a shit.

[bloodweapon]

[Mmm, how does he explain this...]

I have experienced things that truly make me angry, and our battle was not one of them.

[goei]

[Well now he's curious.]

You just got a lot more patience, I guess? You were pretty steamed when we were in Argenti's palace I guess.

[bloodweapon]

...Well, yes, that was...

[He's turning pink but like. It's fine.]

Obviously I was very worried about him.

[goei]

[Wow as if Izou is going to judge you for caring about Argenti????]

Yeah. How'd you two get together, anyway?

[bloodweapon]

[...]

Well. You saw most of it.

[sometimes you don't realize your feelings until a palace and then you confess your love, it's fiiiiiine]

[goei]

... Damn, really? That's a pretty dramatic way ta hook up.
