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!

[ Izou pisses McGillis off plenty. He's an idiot, overtly in your face, absolutely irritating and often beyond comprehension.... But it's true that McGillis doesn't want him to change. If anything he wants him to chew through his leash, become even more himself than he's ever allowed himself to be.

What Izou is offering now is still the leash, but... ]

Your master, huh...?

[ Not one who summoned Izou, but a master nevertheless. There's an element of choice to it that's making it more appealing. A perversion of servitude for their own enjoyment only. ]

I wonder how long it'll take until you decide to rip out my throat instead. Not that I'd hesitate to put you down if you ever did.

[ And completely opposite to the actual words he's saying, he'll give Izou a real proper romantic kiss. ]

Let's find out.

1/2

[goei]

[Wow don't take his metaphor so literally??? Like yes if McGillis got truly off the rails he'd kill him but hopefully he could just nip at him first before it got to that level in the first place.

He'll accept that kiss, happily. But then it's his turn to say something unbefitting it.]

Yer real sure of yourself fer a guy who can't even shoot right anymore. That's why you need a guard dog.
[Izou like "NAH I'D WIN."]

I... I can't offer the same kinda shelter as Gaelio even if you wanted me to but... I like protectin' the people I care about so I wanna become something like that fer you too. If that's okay.

[Maybe then they can say they're in love.]

2/2

[goei]

[But. Also.]

Just don't go gettin' the "master" thing twisted! Outside of the bedroom you ain't the boss of me!!

[WHY IS THIS THE PART YOU CHOOSE TO SHOUT.]

1/2

[vogelfrei]

[ Hey. What. ]

... Izou.

[vogelfrei]

[ He's glancing around for a moment... please tell him not everyone is staring.... ]

Stuff like this is is why everyone had a gossiping newsletter on the network when we first kissed, you know.

[ He's so tempted to throw you out his lap but it's too late for emergency measures like that..... ]

[goei]

[I'm imagining him locking eyes with Celeste who gives him a thumbs up.]

They had what!?

[vogelfrei]

Soujuurou didn't know two men could kiss, apparently. We were very educational.

[ Said like this explains everything. He's so tired, Izou.... ]

[goei]

He...

[Yeah no actually he isn't even that surprised.]

What the hell is there to educate about?? It's the same as anyone else kissing!!!

[vogelfrei]

That's what you'd think.

[ Unfortunately, they are in hell!! ]

Apparently he thought we were fighting and needed to be broken up, which resulted in a community crash course about homosexuality. I haven't seen the chatlog, but I've been told by the newby.

Who greeted me with 'you're the one that's in love!' based on this comedy of errors.

[ Please appreciate with him how much this sucks! ]

[goei]

[PUTTING HIS FACE IN HIS HAND. ALL OF THAT IS WACK!!!!!]

I mean I guess given what'd happened previously as far as he knew, I guess that makes sense, but now I'm worried Soujuurou doesn't know about making out at all!!

[vogelfrei]

[ Thank you for suffering with him... It would have been messy and embarrassing to share all this with Izou before, but they're officially an item now, so. Now it's just nice to groan about it together. ]

Well. He knows now. But poor Maizono still has a rough road ahead of her, I'm sure.

[ Hard not to see her and Soujuurou handholding all afternoon here. ]

[goei]

[Hasn't Maizono suffered enough!!!!]

Yeah... They seem like such an odd couple but I guess both of 'em are way feistier than they look so maybe it makes sense actually?

[vogelfrei]

[ McGillis hums thoughtfully. ]

Yes, I think it tracks that way. Maybe for someone like Maizono, it's nice to be with somebody who is so wholly going at his own pace?

[ Since she has all those hangups around being an individual person with feelings and needs and all. ]

We're the last people who should get to gossip about 'odd couples' though.

[cirquedesang]

[He still has the screencaps, Izou. You just have to ask.

But yeah, the lap sit, the kiss, the announcing your sex life... all get a thumbs up. Good for you.]

[vogelfrei]

[ SCOWLING A LITTLE IN RESPONSE. ]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Izou, he told you to talk to McGillis, not announce even more of your kinks to... everyone! C'mon! ]
