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!

One has to question the naming sense of the people in your world...

[ Though surely it is very cute, but this name seems like it might give people a very wrong and thus dangerous impression... ]

I'm glad the racing part is true though - it's an endearing hobby for you to have. What kind of races is it?

[beautifulknight]

It is quite unique, isn't it?

[ People have probably gotten into big trouble assuming that it is less dangerous than it is. But it is actually paradoxically very cute!!

That being said, when McGillis brings up the racing, he gets really excited, because he enjoys it. This is explicitly a hobby that has remained as such, no matter his stringent dedication to his Path (further developments pending) ]

It is indeed a wonderful hobby! I am glad you say so. In fact, I can tell you that the races are ones that are conducted deep in space with one's spaceship. I particularly enjoy the Galactic Race, as that is the largest one around, and it is a tournament where the competitive nature of each involved are truly put to the test! The adrenaline that spurs one on as they try to outspeed one another no matter the difficulty. Even just watching it from afar inspires feelings of great exhilation!

[vogelfrei]

[ Spaceships, huh? That's a caliber larger than McGillis imagined - he was thinking cars or motorbikes. ]

I can certainly imagine, even though racing sport has never been my personal wheelhouse. How did you get into it?

[beautifulknight]

[ The funniest thing is that Argenti DOES have a motorbike, which he happened to have gotten back already. He just...hasn't gotten the chance to show that off, either.

But by god, he will by the end of this game!! Anyway, that's surprisingly a question hardly anyone has ever asked him before? ]

Initially, I heard about such races once I started taking off to places off-world and left my original planet. First, I started watching them whenever I had spare time, and then after that, I began to touch up the One and Only [ That is the name of his spaceship, yes. ] so that it could be ready to participate in these races. It was like a natural progression of events!

That being said, even if you have never attempted it, I'd recommend for you to give racing a try someday. You might find yourself enjoying it!

[vogelfrei]

[ The One and Only..................... Does Fray have to be jealous of Argenti's true babygirl?! ]

Hm... I might, actually. As a pilot I certainly have an appreciation for speed.

[ Speed is not as good as the power of hitting things really hard with a sword, but it is still a very enjoyable element of battle. ]

[beautifulknight]

[ The amount of laughter I had opening up this tag and reading that- ]

I had a feeling that you would understand!

[ Argenti says very cheerfully, because it's true. There's so much exhilaration when it comes to a race... no matter what kind, he has always felt that this is the case. ]
