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!

When I was younger, my friend compared me to a sunflower. He said they always face towards the sun, so... I guess he thought I was optimistic as a kid.

My hair ribbon belonged to another friend, once.

And... my favorite stuffed animal as a kid was shaped like an eggplant.

[beautifulknight]

The second one?

[ THIS IS JUST SO RANDOM... he has no idea, she makes them all sound believable. HELP ]

[moodwrecker]

Nope. Try again.

[beautifulknight]

The third one, because of your pet?

[ Surely it'll have to be right...? ]

[moodwrecker]

Nope. Looks like you lose.

[beautifulknight]

[ NOOOOOOOOOOO ]

Alas, so I have! I shall graciously accept this one.

[moodwrecker]

I never did figure out what happened to that stuffed animal. I guess I must have lost it sometime around when my dad left.

[beautifulknight]

[ ...Oh, that sure is something, isn't it? ]

Your...dad left you?

I am sorry that it happened. I hope you at least managed to have support before you arrived here to make up for it.

[moodwrecker]

[Looking a little surprised - somehow, she thought a bunch of people already knew this.]

Yeah, he did.

[...No comment on that second part.]

[beautifulknight]

[ Argenti is one of the few out of the loop, alas...

That said, her lack of comment does...speak volumes. Enough that he thinks to ask: ]

What about here? I am certain you managed to make friends with other people in the city, right?

[ He heard she had a Palace, so he knows she had people help her out - though the details are beyond him. ]

[moodwrecker]

...Yeah. It turns out some of the people the Goddess brought here are pretty cool.

[This has not stopped her from being tsun about it though.]

[beautifulknight]

[ ...That's a relief, though.

Argenti is going to smile - he isn't going to ask for specifics, but hearing her say this makes him certain she has truly found those who are willing to support her. It's always a beautiful thing, to know that bonds themselves are flourishing despite it all. ]

I'm happy to hear you say so. I understand the sentiment as well, too.

There are many I am grateful to have met during my stay here.

[moodwrecker]

Oh yeah? Like who?

[She'll be nosy, there is no way this could possibly backfire on her.]

[beautifulknight]

I would say a good amount, but I shall narrow it down.

First and foremost, dearest Fray, light of my life. Next there is Sayaka, Lady Aerith, Lady Maika, Miss Kirumi, McGillis, Izou, Yi Sang, Miss Mafuyu, Eli, Céleste, Sunrise, Aaron, Atem, Jesse, and Richard. There are others I have met as well, though I don't know them all that well as of yet.

I can tell you in great detail how they have brought the light of Beauty into my life.

[ But is Aubrey sure she wants that? The choice is hers... ]

[moodwrecker]

...

You aren't converting them to your cult, are you?

[beautifulknight]

Oh, of course not.

Joining the Knights of Beauty is not for the faint of heart - or for just anybody.

[ He smiles brightly at her. ]

[moodwrecker]

Good.

[He listed a ton of names she recognizes, and the last thing any of them need is to get wrapped up in whatever the heck this religious knight business is.]

[beautifulknight]

[ He looks thoughtful, and then he asks... ]

...What about you? Who have you enjoyed getting to know?

[moodwrecker]

...Mostly the other teens, I guess.

[How specific.]

[beautifulknight]

[ He'll blinks...oh!

Wait. ]

Oh, so you're friends with all of the teens, or...which ones do you get along with, exactly?

[moodwrecker]

What, do you need a list?

[It's called socializing, Aubrey.]

[beautifulknight]

...Rather, I granted you an honest answer when you had asked for specifics, so I do expect that you would do the same.

[ Socializing indeed! Though Argenti seems to receive the response courteously, even if he says these words. ]

[moodwrecker]

[How dare he present a logical argument. Hmph.]

...Mafuyu, Sayaka, Yoon, Arven, and Eli I guess?

[beautifulknight]

[ :3 ]

I am glad to hear it. I am certain that they have been treating you rather well.

[ He knows three of them so he is very certain of them. The other two seem very nice so honestly he's sure of them too. ]

[moodwrecker]

...They've been pretty nice, yeah.

[Girl.]
