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!

[Sayaka feels like she's seen this guy a little bit before, though she hasn't had the chance to speak with him--still, she's curious when she sees him so comfortable over there and sketching, and she's tempted to ask him what he's drawing...

She's surprised to be called over, but she beams brightly nonetheless.]

Oh, are you sure? That's very kind of you, sir! Could I ask you for some forget-me-nots?

[A simple request, but hey. Sayaka is a simple girl.]

[speedingticket]

Oh, forget-me-nots are such a cute flower! Of course, I love flowers.

[ Rutile starts humming to himself as his pen flies across the page, giving such a delicate flower probably a lot more energy and vigor than it needs...?

Anyway, he draws fast, and he's done in a flash. He whips his sketchbook around without warning. ]

Here!

[ There they are... The forget-me-nots. They are flowers. Please trust him. ]

[destage]

[...

You know what, Sayaka isn't sure what she expected but she finds herself smiling at Rutile's efforts nonetheless. Look at them! They're clearly made with passion, and you know what--]

Ahh, you did an amazing job, sir! I absolutely love them!

[She says this like a proud mom who is going to put this on her fridge later. Yes.]

Thank you so much!

[speedingticket]

Omigosh, you like it?! [ Rutile brightens, and there's a genuine note of surprise in his voice. It seems he's a little more self-aware than he initially let on. ]

Not everyone understands my style, so it really makes me happy that you like it!

[ Even if it is the proud mom to weird child energy... Rutile takes it. ]
