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!

[ WOW, TERRIFIC WORK! She claps for him before holding out both glasses so he can pour the champagne into them. ]

Good work! You gotta teach me how to do that.

[speedingticket]

Of course! All you need is good aim!

[ And he starts pouring a generous glass for each of them. ]

All right, I'm ready—ask me!

[gardenful]

[ She'll hand one of those glasses to Rutile (whichever one is a little more full), taking a sip just to add a little dramatic pause. ]

Truth or dare?

[speedingticket]

[ Rutile takes his and surprisingly doesn't down it in one go, but he does take a very big sip. ]

Dare! It's only fair.

[gardenful]

Let's see...

[ What's something fun and easy just like the dare he gave her? ]

Make up a little song about this party!

[speedingticket]

No problem!

[ Rutile replies confidently, and he clears his throat a little bit.

His voice is clear, carries well. It's clear he's not a trained singer, but he sings in tune and in time and with a lot of joy. ]

Among the fish~ Among the weeds~ Here we are~ Under the sea~
While they swim~ We will drink~ And chat and play~
And maybe sleep!

[gardenful]

[ Attitude is a big part of singing if you ask Aerith, so she's clearly pleased with Rutile's singing ability. He gets an A in her book. ]

What a cute song!

[speedingticket]

Thank you!

[ And we can wrap that there too! bow emoji ]
