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!

[China 🤝 Egypt blue-green solidarity.]

Wouldn't that be hard to show you..?

[Ugh. He looks around the aquarium--- which is mostly green to him--- until he spots a little clown fish and he points.]

Well, that fish there...

[Then he moves his finger to the pinkish coral.]

The coral...

[Then finally he lands on the EXIT sign.]

And that sign.

They're all red.

[imperiosity]

[He watches as Atem points to all of these different items... Pink being considered red isn't that weird, but the orange clown fish he was not expecting.

On a normal day, maybe he would be more amenable to arguing debating the nuances of colors but realistically speaking, he's probably a couple of drinks in already. And given that fact, he's not keen on thinking this through any more than he has to. He's here to have a good time okay!!]

Just drink.

[metagame]

[... And so he does.]

[imperiosity]

[yay this means he wins right]

There, was that so hard? You just gotta not overthink this crap, man. Especially when it's a game we're all playing for shits and giggles.

[metagame]

For the record, I think you're wrong.

[But he's still sipping his tea...]

[imperiosity]

Finally made up your mind about it? Why'd you even hesitate to begin with, then?

[the tea sipping he's just going to interpret as a result of his own persuasive prowess (no)]

[metagame]

Precisely for your comment about blue and green.

[He stares at his tea...]

You and the others don't see colors the way I do. You even have words for colors that you can see so it's much easier for you to perceive them. I know orange and magenta exist, and that there's a difference between blue and green. But I can't see it. I probably never will.

[imperiosity]

Don't tell me you're starting to get mopey 'cause of that.

[A hand goes to his hip.]

Look, if that's how you see things, then you should've told me to screw off. Not like some of these names aren't pretty damn arbitrary to begin with.
