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!

[goei]

Yeah. I don't think I've seen you raise yer voice even once.

[cleansewithfire]

I have before, though.

[goei]

Well sure, but you gotta agree it's a pretty rare occurrence, especially with how much crazy shit happens around here.

[cleansewithfire]

...I think the only time I wanted to be loud was when everything was happening with Mr. Celeste.

[ She was || close to threatening to set everyone on fire if they wouldn't stop. ]

[goei]

... Yeah, that makes sense. Things got real outta hand there fer some reason.

[cleansewithfire]

I think if things had not stopped, I would have said I would set fire to everything unless everyone sat down and stopped yelling.

[goei]

.... S'probably good that didn't end up needin' ta happen.

[cleansewithfire]

It is very good. There was a happier ending instead.

[goei]

[Nodding.... OH WAIT. THE GAME!!!]

Well now I'm thinkin' yer lie is about the wedding since yer real ready ta set things on fire.

[cleansewithfire]

I did that a little bit before I came here.

[ The more you know. ]

[goei]

[Huh.]

What for?

[cleansewithfire]

The would-be bride asked us for help to leave the city before the wedding. ...But things did not go as planned, so we needed up having to take her away during the wedding instead.

[ Which. Also didn't go as planned but things worked out some...how... ]

[goei]

Huh. How'd that work out then?

[cleansewithfire]

[ ...She probably shouldn't say what a mess it turned out to be, huh. ]

It worked out.

[goei]

Well that's good then! Dunno how you got into the situation in the first place, but hey!

[cleansewithfire]

I think...it was because we are a travelling performance troupe. So she likely thought it would be a way to discreetly escape from the city.

[ Too bad it didn't work out that way. ]

[goei]

What, like a circus??? What do you do there, Sunrise???

[SUNRISE CLOWN?]

[cleansewithfire]

Not a circus. More like a travelling theater. I work as a stagehand.

[goei]

[Hmmmm interesting.]

I s'pose that makes sense. You wouldn't be very good on stage with that deadpan of yers.

[cleansewithfire]

Yes. ...I think I am happier supporting everyone who can perform on stage, anyway.
