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!

[Maybe one day... it can't be so hard to find a reason to look up at them.]

This world's in better shape than where I come from, bastard god or no bastard god.

[Though if he gets his way... it's hard to shake the feeling that this city isn't one disaster away from ending up exactly like her world. Maybe that's what's made it so strange to exist in this place - almost as if it's like looking into the past.]

Even the name. "Sunset City." A dark night'd be unthinkable. [Though she doesn't ask yet, Kainé fixes him with a little scrutiny in her gaze. Was he lucky enough to not be... jarred?]

[beautifulknight]

[ Argenti will happily encourage her if she needs one, but if she finds one on her own, all the better. As it is, hearing what she speaks of her world does invite a natural curiosity. ]

It is? I hope it is not so much worse shape than this...

[ He does blink at the gaze, questioning in that, that it seems.

Argenti does nod, though. ]

I've seen many cities like this one. Though I still needed an adjustment period. I originally travel through space - I am uncertain if that is common where you're from, however.

[moonshaded]

[She huffs out a scoff. His hope is misplaced.] It's falling the fuck apart. [She leans back on her hands.] Things were probably more like this before. I missed the boat on something I probably would have hated anyway.

[Well, Argenti, that's a complicated observation... the history of their world has far more bumps and bruises and technological marvels than Kainé and others like her will ever be able to know.]

Nobody I know is going to space. Maybe we'd be in better shape if we could. You must have no choice but to look at the stars then.

[beautifulknight]

[ Argenti's small hopes dashed...with the wind...

He frowns at hearing that her world is in such an unfortunate state because there is no way he could be anywhere near happy about that. ]

...That is unfortunate. I hope that there is a way to fix it?

[ There's probably irony in here somewhere...regarding the complexities of technology and the state of worlds, and such. ]

But, you are correct that a majority of time I would take a good view of the stars in the space - alongside the other planets that can be sighted as well, of course.

[moonshaded]

Nope. And if there were, I wouldn't be the one to do it. Still, it's getting more dangerous.

[It might be a little shocking just how flippant she sounds. There's very little panic or regret in her voice at all, almost as if she overshot acceptance and landed squarely in unbothered, even if it isn't the whole of it.]

I wonder if people in space are the same as everywhere else. [Probably - though they're also probably not all like him.]
