Rating: If you feel your thread is heading for something steamier, please either fade to black or take it to an appointments post.

Also -- don't forget to add in your own character tags!

On the 17th, all characters will find an embossed invitation tucked inside the front cover of their journals, asking them to gather up by the hot springs for a marvelous party at the Featherly Haven Resort & Spa. Upon arriving, they’ll find that the area has been temporarily transformed into a luxurious vacation retreat. Although the weather is just as chilly as it should be in mid-February, the hot springs are compellingly warm and once the sun sets, the area is lit by grand torches. The usual hot springs buildings are somewhat incredibly replaced with what looks like a swanky resort -- though the building itself will disappear soon after the Shift’s end. There is a sizeable lobby, complete with plump couches and a droid-staffed bar. Each and every one of the hotel’s rooms is a honeymoon suite, stocked with champagne and fondue and yet more platters of fresh fruit. Courteous (albeit stoic) droids tend massage chairs and manicure stations on the resort's first floor, shaded by billowing, cream-coloured curtains. Others will be passing around festively coloured drinks, platters of fresh fruit, and -- of course -- huge complimentary towels to wrap up in once your soaking is complete: the whitest and fluffiest and most spa-like towels you ever did see.

Available both in the rooms, outside by the hotsprings, and in heaps inside the lobby, are little foil-wrapped and bite-sized chocolates. As with other items in previous years, each of these chocolates comes with a dizzying side-effect upon consumption:

White Chocolate will overwhelm its consumer with the desire to talk and -- more specifically -- the desire to share. Upon eating this treat, characters will want to chat the ear off of anyone near them, perhaps spilling some personal details in the process. But being chatty is a two way street, and so they will also press upon their conversation partners for details of their own lives. It’s a lethal combination: a nosy over-sharer.

Milk Chocolate will flush its consumer with the desire to be warm and affectionate with those around them. Hugs and kisses on the cheek will abound. Upon eating this treat, characters will want to throw their arm around those near them -- clasping close friends and associates alike. Personal space is no longer an issue.

Dark Chocolate will inspire quite another flavour of affection in its consumer. Upon eating this treat, a character’s libido takes over the driving seat. Many people around them become terribly terribly attractive and, as lust courses through the character’s system, they’ll hope to convince someone back to their suite for a little hanky panky.

Chocolate Coated Marzipan -- smooth and silky on the tongue -- evokes a spontaneous sense of...marital bliss. Those who chow down on this treat will find themselves tracking down someone they know they simply don’t want to live without. Whether this is someone they were previously attracted to in the week or a total stranger, your character will find themselves proposing marriage. And, (in)conveniently for them, all marriages may take place in the resort’s own Vegas-style wedding chapel! All ceremonies will be performed by a droid-officiant who looks disturbingly like Elvis Presley. Witnesses are optional but encouraged.

Comments

[stilldontgotit]

[Well, despite his gut instinct telling him that this has to have a catch, Riku can't deny that this setup is pretty neat. And hey, after several months of cold, he's definitely down for the heat the hot springs provide.

So, he'll be hanging in the springs periodically. And when he's not taking a soak, he can be found wandering throughout the resort, occasionally eying the chocolates, fruit, and especially the droids. Because who would let a machine massage them? Highly suspicious in his book.

He'll be around for a while, heh.

So, want to hang with Riku? There are plenty of options.]

[heartisabattleground]

[Riku, you're not going to soak in the nice spring? Well, sorry, Sora's going to run on right by you in a bathing suit. Leaping into the air and over top one of the large springs, Sora calls out happily]

CANNON BAAAAAAALLL!

[And splosh! In the water and sending a bunch of it at anyone nearby.]

[wannabolt]

[...Huh. Well, Rainbow Dash needed a distraction, anyway, and a resort? Well, it might not be the most exciting place to hang, but hey, it's something new!

So yes, there will be a rainbow pony dashing throughout the area. Maybe taking a dip. Yes, a pony in the hot springs, be afraid.

She's not gonna go for any alcohol, but she will be dipping into the fruits and especially the chocolates. Just nothing dark. At most, she'll have white and milk, which may lead to a more affectionate than normal pony.

Pick your poison!]

[brokethefourthwall]

[And then Dash's relaxation was interrupted by a bright pink pony cannonballing into the hotspring.]

Except, you know, with the right account this time.

[risingwinds]

[This... is... awesome!

No, really. The setup is really nice for what's probably just another experiment, and Ven can't help it as he stares in awe at the surroundings.

Those couches sure look tempting, though, and he may end up trying to at least greet the droids with a friendly attitude. Yeah, they're droids, but they're sure being hospitable, all things considered.

Also, there may be G - PG-rated chocolate shenanigans here as well.]

[starfishlovesyou]

[The couches look as though you might end up sinking into them they're that inviting, which is why Fuuko decides to sit down and get herself comfy.]

Haaah, this is the kind of furniture you only dream about! Fuuko does not dream about furniture, but if Fuuko did then this couch would be there.

[starfishlovesyou]

[The appearance of the resort has taken Fuuko completely by surprise. Were the weather a little warmer then she would have admired the building for a little longer before heading inside.

Fuuko can be found taking a long, relaxing soak in the hot springs whilst nibbling on some fruit one of the droids offered her. It seemed a little suspicious, but after staring the droid down for a whole minute with the droid not giving anything away, Fuuko concluded it would be okay to try some. While not in the springs she's likely staring at the massage chairs and other droid tended activities. It's tempting to use a massage chair or get a manicure, but maybe she's pushing her luck. Just because the fruit was okay doesn't mean the massage chairs will be! Hmm.

She will likely be sticking around until it gets dark and the torches come on, so feel free to find Fuuko wherever you like. At some point she'll have found herself with some chocolate, so white and milk chocolate shenanigans are good to go!]

[tailasoldastime]

[The springs definitely look much different from last he was here, but the spa is not new to him so... surely this is fine! Alright, the droids draw concern, but so far they seem to be harmless... he thinks...

Either way, he eventually finds himself in the lobby eyeing those chocolates. They look ever so appetising! He reaches for one... wait, what if it's...? But the spa was alright. ... Right now it's good enough for him and he's giving into temptation by grabbing one of the milk chocolate candies. It's as delicious as it looked! He's just going to grab two... or three... five more of those now.]

[stillplaying]

It had seemed like a relatively good idea at a time. This whole week had been lonely. Too lonely. She needed an escape from this stupid experiment that had been plaguing her all week. Maybe the party meant the experiment was over. Much like they had crowned a Victor each year at the Hunger Games, the Malnosso had to give them something to make their captivity bearable.

She wanted to take this as a sign. An assurance that the worst was done and over. She could be among her friends again and not feel as lonely as before.

And she had never been to any place this gorgeous before. This luxurious. It had everything on the splendor typically found in the Capitol. But it was better. Rustic in its beauty, set in the forests that she had grown to love.

She avoids the alcohol, the towels and robes. She won't be going into the hot springs (not without very compelling reasons) because that would mean shedding her layers. Exposing her scars. But she will sit by their edge, admiring the ripples in the water as she samples some of the chocolate brought to her by the droids.

Eventually, she does get up and wander, determined to find someone to talk to. She's tired of being alone.

[ooc: She's mainly going for white or milk chocolate, but if you really want something with one of the others, we can talk.]

[greenjacketed]

"...Not sure I expected to see you here," the Major commented as he approached from Katniss's right. He had his sword belt on, his uniform donned, and he had -- in fact -- been keeping an eye on this particular lass since he'd arrived. Not thanks to any kind of Shift insanity but, instead, because he genuinely worried about her. And when the whole damn village was making fool decisions left and right, he could spare a glance or two to make sure she wasn't getting into too much trouble.

"Not sure I'm disappointed, though, neither. It's good to see you somewhere what ain't my bare parlour."

It's good to see you among others. He'd felt the same on the evening of the Christmas Ball.

[greenjacketed]

[ heaven help him, but he shouldn't have followed the invite's beck and call up the mountain. the sheer number of exposed wings is enough to make him more-than-vaguely uncomfortable with his own wandering eyes; thuggish or not, sharpe often at least attempted to appear courteous around lady-folk.

he certainly isn't going into the water and it will take some considerable cajoling to coax him into a massage chair, though the man likely needs a good massage. no, sharpe will be spending most of his time either at the hotel bar or lurkishly looking out for certain individuals. you know -- persons of interest. those he feels protective of, curious about, or just downright interested in. this is just about the only reason he actually came up here, today.

think of him like your awkward green-clad valentine's batman. if he doesn't hate your guts and he sees you about to make what might be an awkward or compromising decision, he will try and save you. let's just hope he doesn't awkwardly compromise himself in the process. ]

[wise_maiden]

[It's rare for Raine to have her wings exposed, though if one takes a dip into the hot springs and then lounges around a resort, it comes with the package. Or at least, the bathing suit. Having wet wings for too long isn't fun, however, and once she's out of the springs, it's off to the inside of resort itself to dry off and get pampered.

A nice trim, manicure and facial later will find her on one of cushy lobby couches with a book of all things, though at least it isn't her typical educational faire. Still, her gaze floats around more often than not out of curiosity - are people behaving and keeping their heads?

Her gaze finds Sharpe, and she spares him a smile. Surely he was still a gentleman, as unaccompanied as he seemed.]

[savedtheworld]

[It's been an odd yet refreshing week in a way for Aang, of being in love. He had thought that he could only really love Katara... but now it seems he was finding these feelings for several other girls. And it's because there's more than one that he's unsure of whether or not he should try to go with one specific girl to the spa.

So the teen air monk goes the neutral route, that of non-romantic love. He brings his granddaughter Ikki to the spa, and they manage to persuade Shikamaru into joining them, the ideal ninja chaperone. He still leaves a note for any of his current love interests promising to meet up with them at some point of the day.

Aang wanders off from the two at several points, either trying to find one of the others or just exploring for fun. He could show up pretty much anywhere in the resort... and will wind up eating lots of white and milky chocolate. So be ready to endure either an Aang who's even chattier than himself and/or a pro hugbender.]

[mikanphones]

Aang! So you've come as well? Did you come alone? How have you been doing?

[Yoh smiles, calmly as always though he sounds extra curious and it's no wonder given how he has just eaten some white chocolates.]

[touchofrogue]

[This week has been beyond weird and uncomfortable, and even though a 'Spa Invitation' might as well be lit with a neon sign blaring 'T R A P,' Rogue really, really didn't care. She changed from her usual clothing into a bikini and, carefully wrapped, went to find a place to soak. She wanders the halls, exploring for some time.

She was fortunate enough to get a room by herself and go soak, just letting all the worries of the weak drain away and the voices in her head fade to a murmur...

As time passes, Rogue reaches out with her eyes closed. A piece of chocolate will make her bliss complete. Feeling more content than she has in days, she hoists herself out of the spa room and decides to go see if she can find one of those droids for a massage. Best to get dressed first, but then, off she goes.]

(ooc: Rogue is open to most! Beware the dark chocolate, though, as her powers pack a punch.)

[snikting]

[Logan isn't feeling half bad himself. Certainly at his least moody this week. However, as he's heading to get another bottle of champagne for his own personal consumption, he spots Rogue in the middle of a massage. Well well.]

Enjoyin' yourself?

CHOCOLATE TIME. : |

[all7seas]

[Eschewing the chocolate for the moment, Jack jumps into the hot springs. Ah. Lovely.

Later, he will be more amenable to enjoying some sweets, especially after this droid finishes working its massage magic on tired pirate muscles.

Ahhhhhh. Bliss.]

[menial]

['...

I wonder if these springs are still hygienic now.'

Oh well. Kyon will kind of warily eye him for cabbages, balls of foil, and other similar objects from his own massage-receiving position.]

[thrillthirsty]

[While Luceti was busy being in love, Mihawk was busy trying to find a sword that didn't break. Consequently, he spent the week before being very, very bored and lost somewhere in the mountains. As he came back, however, he found the invitation and, having absolutely nothing better to do, decided to cash in on it.

Upon arriving, he'll find himself either people watching in the lobby, sprawled carelessly in one of those nice, plush chairs. And later, he'll be found soaking in and enjoying the springs.

This young fledgling is in a relatively good mood, so feel free to chat him up. Maybe even offer him a chocolate or two.]

[bubblywishes]

[Much like Mihawk, Norma has also taken to the main lobby of the luxurious spa, though she is much less people watching and more dozing quietly on one of the couches. There's a box of chocolates on a small table next to her, almost completely empty. It seems the young lady has gorged herself on the delectable sweet treats and is now sleeping off the effects - which were...strange, to say the least. Was it warmer in this place or what?

Regardless, she's only barely sleeping for once in her life and the smallest pestering should be enough to wake her. And she's not exactly guarding her treasure, either. Go on, indulge.]

Who wants Eley snuggles?

[winds_voice]

[While Eley was starting to get used to these not infrequent gatherings, he had to admit that he didn't really have any experience in spas or what exactly it was they offered. As such, he'll just be standing in the lobby observing as usual... and maybe helping himself to some of the chocolate.

Milk chocolate to be precise. He'd already tried some with Tsuzuki and he knew he enjoyed it. Unfortunately he didn't expect that strange after effect to come with it. Anyone who approaches him might find them with a strangely affectionate Wind Spirit on their hands...]

(OOC: Only going for milk chocolate at the moment, but if anyone wants to discuss other options I may be open to them. Just let me know!)

[puubuu]

[Uh oh! Fattycakes has gotten into the milk chocolate. He was sitting on a table before, but now he has launched himself at Eley, hoping to be caught and cuddled.]

Hiiiii, Eley-puu! [Said by a Puffski flying through the air.]

[mikanphones]

[This past week has had Yoh being... Pretty normal. Honestly he has spent it like any other week except for the times in which he would go old man route and laugh fondly at seeing Madoka apparently having a crush on someone.

If anything he has found himself missing Anna even more than usual. He doesn't miss the training schedules, but he misses her. Also part of him can't help but worry about how she may be, time is said to stop while he's here but he doesn't have any guarantees it won't affect the others negatively, does he?

At any rate, the invitation on the journals is suspicious at best. But having nothing else to do Yoh ends dragging Madoka along to the resort for some fun and relaxing times. Despite knowing there were hot springs in Luceti he hadn't actually visited them yet so he's curious to check them out and see if they are any like the ones he has at home.

With that, Yoh will be around the resort and pretty much anywhere one can be at, munching on white or milk chocolate. Not that he needed an incentive to talk, but now he will be more open about his own story and what not. Of course he will also be more nagging at others.]

[happyends]

[ Yoh, why do you do this to her, she's no good at all with big crowds.. Not that she dislikes people or anything, it's just that she gets shy! So she doesn't really dare to talk to people much herself, she's mostly keeping to herself a little and occasionally watching the people walk by..

But then again, making conversation with Yoh just to have someone familiar at first to warm up with so she can gather her courage and talk to some new people might work. Maybe. ]

Um.. Y.. Yoh-san..! [ She sucks with the honorifics once she gets more nervous, okay. ]

[puubuu]

[Even though Fattycakes doesn't really have shoulders to massage, he scooted along to the spa event anyway. He can be found either sitting on a table and happily puu-buuing at people, or maybe floating in the hot springs like a suspiciously fuzzy bath toy. Feel free to encounter him in the lobby or in the hot springs.

Also, a word of warning: despite not really liking chocolate, he has been nibbling at the white and milk chocolates (hey, Valentine's Day chocolate is supposed to be special, right?)... so expect a very talkative and cuddly puffball.]

[covermyback]

[The decision to come here had been a hard one for Zelgius. He wasn't much of a party person or a chocolate person, but maybe security was needed? Well, he'd never admit it to himself, but the prospect of a little pampering was a bit alluring. However, anything he did ran the risk of exposing his secret: the brand. He could have checked out the hot springs if no one was around, but unfortunately they seemed pretty full.

So for now, Zelgius just stands around, looking seriously awkward. He's not wearing his armor, which is a big step for him. Bother him?]

[fellpool]

[Bother him indeed. There's a teenage boy with cat ears exploring, having grabbed a fluffy bathrobe from somewhere in the spa to go with his towel for whenever he goes out to the hot springs. He looks at the tall dude looking out of place and awkward, not having seen him before.

He sounds as nonchalant as he can as he approaches.]

Let me guess. This is your first Valentine's experiment, right?

[abjurer]

[When the invitation had shown up, Max's first reaction had been to wonder what was wrong with the place? And where had a hotel come from since no-one had mentioned it in all the time he'd been there. It seemed like a big thing to overlook.

On the other hand, what could it hurt? He could just go up there and check it out, maybe hang around and soak up a little luxury. The hot springs did sound pretty nice he had to admit.

So when the time comes, he goes along with all the other suckers. And it does kind of live up to the invitation, he has to admit. There's a room set aside for him, for everyone it seems like, and while he might have scoffed before, the romantic atmosphere doesn't seem too off putting.

He spends some time in the hot springs, scar carefully covered by a small sight shield, and it's enough to leave him feeling relaxed and happy, and there's maybe a couple of drinks afterwards. And chocolate. He's pretty fond of chocolate, actually.]

[OOC: Max is open to anyone for white and milk chocolate. Let me know if you want to try anything else!]

[universal_charm]

<sub>[Kirk had been as suspicious as anyone els when the invite came up and then the hotel. Seriously, they could do that too? But then, they managed to keep them all trapped here and performed experiments on them with regularity, so why shouldn't they be able to just transport a whole building? And it was... hot springs ~ Which wasn't bad, really.

He debated on taking someone, but after that thing with Spock, maybe he just need to go and hang out with some dudes like dudes do in a hot spring. That was something, wasn't it? So he went, got himself settled, and of course indulged in the chocolate. What could be wrong with chocolate? He especially took a liking to the white chocolate, and the milk chocolate was a close second.

He came into the springs, looking around, and had to smile to himself when he spied Max. They were supposed to have a pub date, weren't they?]</sub>

Hey! It's Max, right?

_{[He slid into the water and came closer.]}

[closed log]

[not_a_troll]

[The moment he lays eyes on the fancy invitation he rushes to show it to Leah. Of course he also proposes to go together, telling her that they have been deservant of extreme pampering in a Midgardian health spa.

He even decides to wear that bowtie Natasha suggested to him. A white one, decorated with red hearts. He also tries to dress as smart as he is able to. Yet, the shirt he is wearing is too big for him and snowboots and a pair of slacks are not the most perfect combination either.

But he wears a bowtie with hearts...it should be enough.

The last few days had been strange and exciting at the same time and when he walks up to the most fancy building he has seen in a long time, he keeps his hands inside the pockets of his coat, sometimes wondering if it would be appropriate to try and grab Leah's hand.

He rather not, it would not be right to take advantage of a situation like that. Even though it is something he has wished for...]

[thehandmaiden]

[It had taken absolutely none of Loki's trickery or Leah's sense of duty to her mistress to convince her to agree to this plan of his. Though still uncertain as to what exactly a Midgardian health spa entailed, the prospect of being pampered seemed very pleasing.

Though she now possesses more than one dress, she opts for her original green frock. After all, he had gone to all this trouble to obtain it for her. It would be most shameful not to make certain he knows how welcomed his gift had been.

The trek to the spa is done in relative silence. There's little need to talk. This companionable silence is so very pleasing. So it is not until they reach the spa that she opts to speak.]

Do all Midgardian health spas look this splendid?

[distressedude]

[Although Ion hasn't been in the best of health this week, the invitation is enough to spur his curiosity and bring him out of hiding. Even knowing it's likely another trick of the Malnosso, the thought of being able to relax in the warm hot springs sounds too good to resist. And who knows, maybe it could help with his newfound inability to walk steady?]

[And so, for the most part, that's where he'll be. And though he usually wears a swimsuit that covers his back to hide the scar he got on a draft, it's so hot and steamy in the room that he figures no one will be able to see anyway, so a regular pair of swimming trunks will suffice. He takes occasional breaks of sitting outside the water with a towel over his shoulders to keep from overheated, and he has his hair in front tied up in little braids to keep from tangling it in the water... hopefully no one mistakes his for a girl here.]

[Outside of that, he won't be walking around to explore much, though he may find one of those couches in the lobby to sit and rest in for awhile. And of course, though Ion may not have much of a sweet tooth, the chocolates scattered about do look awfully tempting. He'll be sticking to white or milk chocolate and only because he can't find the dark chocolate since that's technically his favorite flavor sob but it's not like he has any control over what they people around him are eating...]

[savedtheworld]

[Hey there, back-scar-buddy! Aang's also around rocking some plain trunks, and he grab a handful of chocolates before dipping himself into the spring, not yet completely noticing Ion.]

I hope the chocolates don't melt...

[magicalesbian]

[This week has certainly been a strange one, and the invitation is just the weird frosting on the weird cake that is this experiment. But she's not about to turn down the promise of a Spa getaway! Of course, all things considered, she'll only be attending the hot springs as Kari. She's not exactly the type to go soaking in her clothes as Hoshikyo, after all.]

[But when it comes to wandering around the place and investigating the rooms and droids and lobby, she'll be Hoshikyo, if only because it was more convenient to just transform rather dry off and change. Those rooms look especially fancy... maybe she should invite her date(s) up to one of these sometime later? Champagne and a bed covered in flower petals... oh, how romantic~]

[Only Hoshikyo will be open for most of the chocolate shenanigans, partaking in more than her fair share throughout the day. Though if Kari decides to leave the hot springs with anyone in particular, naturally she'll be remaining as Kari and may be open for more.]

[blessingone]

[Hoshikyo isn't the only one investigating the rooms, but Fenimore isn't as convinced of the romantic atmosphere. Oh, sure, the rooms are nice, but Fenimore's not from a culture that has much by way of hotel rooms, so the idea of a honeymoon suite is completely foreign to her. So, without the hint as to what the rooms might be for though really she should be able to guess just from the time of year, she's fairly lost as to why there are flower petals all over the bed. Perhaps some people do this from where she's from, but she's never heard of it.]

[So when Hoshikyo comes to investigate one room, she'll find someone already in this one, bending down by the bed and holding up one of the petals between her fingers to investigate it closely. What the heck is this for. She sniffs it -- scent, perhaps?]

[But then she realizes she's no longer the only one in the room and turns.]

Ah -- sorry, is this your room?

[wildkotetsu]

[Kotetsu is impressed with the set-up, he admits it. But he's still entirely suspicious, because--well, why wouldn't he be? He walks down the hall, slapping a droid hand away from him in the most sourpuss way possible.]

I don't want a hot towel, back it off already!!

[GEEZ

The honeymoon suite is pretty impressive, too... Actually, kinda nice. He itches his head at the sight of it with a short smile.]

Looks like something Bunny would live in.

[.... slap!]

Oi, I said I don't want a hot towel! Get lost!

[Where does this end up, you wonder? Well, it ends up with Kotetsu running into a mountain of chocolate. And when you're a sorta' depressed guy with a love for chocolate, you tend to throw caution to the wind and scarf them. So... yeah. Kotetsu ate all of the kinds. A lot of them.



He throws his arm around the hot-towel-droid and the entire time the robot is trying to usher him to take the towel, the hero is blabbering to him about how this place ain't so bad. He may also be scarfing down some fruit or chillin' in the spa, because he feels kinda awesome (even if it's not as genuine as he'd wish it would be, when the effects wear off).]

((ooc: just specify which chocolates you want kotetsu to be on in the subject line! any four or a combination of four is fine.))

White and Milk, Babeh

[concasse]

[Oh, if only Sanji were aware of what his pea-brained bff has done...

As it is, the chef's been busy soaking in the springs, and just so happens to pass by Kotetsu and his droidbro on the way to those couches]

[aerialassault]

[Suspicious though it was, Cliff was never the kind of man to turn down a chance to relax, even if it was in some swanky spa that he would never have set foot in otherwise. The sudden invitation-- and the appearance of a resort-- was just crazy enough that Cliff was willing to jump at the call, if only for the change of pace.

...although, not even the plushest of towels, the frilliest of drinks, and the insistence of the droids could keep him quiet for long.]

MARCO!!!

[The spa was a perfect place to play a few games, and Marco Polo had been lingering on his mind for some reason.

Let's see who bites.

Otherwise, he's all for relaxing and chilling once he gets out of the water. He'll even be talked into partaking of some of the snacks, even though he's just wary enough to keep watch of how other people react.

...though, he might be willing to take a few risks for a certain someone.]

(ooc: Cliff has his spoken 'date' for the weekend, although he is open to most shenanigans. :D )

[fierybluebird]

[Dude. You gonna keep screaming his name forever? Eh fuck it.]

Polo!

[rollypolyclover]

[Forget your lovey-dovey relaxing spa visits, Yotsuba is here to have the most fun one small child can have when set loose in a hot spring spa resort.

First things first, she's munching down on some of those chocolates. There are little piles of them practically everywhere and she's insisting on taking a few milk and white chocolates from each heap she comes across. This turns Yotsuba from an excitable, talkative little kid into... Well, a more excitable and talkative kid. Only chances are she'll try tackling you and hugging your legs now whilst talking about all the cool things she's done today in the spa.

Later, Yotsuba can be found splashing around in the hot springs. She's a fantastic swimmer, so she isn't so much relaxing in there as she is cutting across the water like a mini speed boat or jumping into the hot water and making a big splash when she does so. Sorry if you wanted a peaceful, relaxing dip in the water.

All good things come to an end though, so having ate her fill of chocolate and fruit and tired herself out from swimming she'll be napping on one of those comfy couches. A droid was nice enough to come over and wrap her up in the worlds comfiest, warmest towel, so she likely won't be moving unless someone wakes her up.]

[sugarglitch]

[Chocolates! Vanellope is so there. She skips over the dark chocolate ones (come on if you're going to have chocolate it's gotta be sweet!) and hoards quite a bit of the white ones for herself.

She runs into Yotsuba sooner or later, and whether she's happy because of the chocolate or just because it's so great to run into another kid around here is up in the air.]

Hi, kid! What's your name! You plannin' on leavin' some chocolate for the rest of us or what, huh?

[accepted]

[Before even heading inside, Caius is walking around and getting a good look at the resort. It's big, really big, huge even! It could definitely rival some of the buildings from Janna back home. He does go into the resort, but only after he's worked up a chill from being out in the cold for so long.

It's hard to ignore the heaps of chocolate everywhere, especially when a good few people seem to be eating them. He's not too fond of chocolate, so he might need a little persuasion to at least try some. White or milk chocolate is fine!

When he finally gets around to the hot springs, Caius can be found kicking back and enjoying the heat. He has to admit, it really does feel good to just sit there and let his muscles relax in the water. At one point he hops out of the water, throws a towel over his shoulders and goes to grab something to drink. You might find him in the lobby in his swimming shorts and towel, sipping on some brightly coloured fruit drink he found at the bar before heading back into the springs.

After sitting in the hot springs and drying off, Caius starts looking around the rest of the resort. This place is huge, there's plenty to explore! He pokes his head into a few open hotel rooms only to find they all more or less look the same... Which is kind of a let down, but ah well. Seeing as he's never been to a spa before he didn't know what to expect, so maybe all the rooms in spa resorts are meant to be the same. Feel free to run into him while he's exploring the place!]

[She didn't have a problem with the hot springs per se, but why were there so many people around!? It certainly didn't help that she wasn't even used to wearing a bathing suit, and thanks to that anxiety she ended up sticking by the door and fretting in silence. She just needed a moment or two to gather her courage first! Right? Right.

Probably.

Wait, who was that over there? ...Uh oh. If she kept this up she was going to look suspicious, wasn't she? And if he saw her looking suspicious, clearly that meant she was going to get accused of being a thief. In her mind, it was her reputation versus her nerves.

...

Her reputation won out. Jane let out a big sigh and slowly made her way toward the springs. Maybe there was a corner she could hide in, despite the fact that blending in wasn't one of her strong points.]

[Forget being suspicious and wary about the place, Pascal is all over having some time to kick back. She's firmly planted in one of the massage chairs, enjoying all that buzzing, massagey goodness that's on offer. Occasionally she tells the droid to change a few settings around to make the chair run even better, but before long she's tinkering with the chair herself. There are a few spare parts that came from the chair scattered on the floor, but taking them out made the chair run better. It made it way more relaxy. Or something.

The one thing she is slightly unsure of however is the one thing the droids aren't manning, and that's the hot spring. She might dip her feet in and kick her legs about in the water, but that's it. If she got in all the way then she might as well be taking a bath, and she smells pretty good for a week and two days without one!

When she's not messing around with the massage chairs or soaking her feet, Pascal is stuffing her face with fresh fruit. If you're looking for bananas then you might want to try a different platter, Pascal has likely already cleared them all out of the ones she's eating from. She's also grabbing some white and milk chocolate to eat with the fruit, so come grab her for some chocolate shenanigans.]

[Open to: White, Milk, and Dark Chocolates (Traits!); these are the ones she'll eat, you can come at her with others.

Haruhi gets that note, knows it'll be suspect, but decides, this year, she's on top of things. So he heads to the spa with a bag under her arm for both a swimsuit and a nice outfit. With her hair ribbons adjusted and a little smile, she heads on up to the springs fairly early in the day with a boxed lunch, not really inviting anyone else. They were all invited anyway.

She alternates between going in the springs and hanging out in the lobby. She doesn't have any intention of being bold enough to invite anyone else up to the hotel rooms, but she might go to get one herself. Encounter her in any of these situations!]

[Keiichi is walking towards the lobby after getting a room and checking it out, munching on a milk chocolates he has found in the room. He's just done swallowing it when he spots a familiar back among the crowd, long brown hair with familiar hair ribbons on each side.

A wide smile comes to his lips as he makes a beeline towards her, calling her name.]

Ha~ru~hi~-cha~n!!

[He doesn't even think about it when he extends his arms and tries to wrap them around her in order to give her a big and tight bear hug.]

So good seeing you around!!

Rin gets the note very late in the day. Or well, he wakes up later. Around noon, actually, unless anyone in his house gets him up earlier. But once he finds it, he's hesitant (a spa party never goes well for him...) but he ends up going. He doesn't go to soak into the springs, and instead hangs out in the lobby of the hotel and check around the bar to see if there's some fancy sodas or maybe even a kitchen he can work with. He's not good at sweets, but...

Run into him in the lobby or around the bar. He'll also be wearing some sort of silly hat, because he finds he likes silly hats this week]

[concasse]

-- Rin, why are you wearing a silly hat?

[It's a question Sanji would have asked regardless, but apparently he dipped into the white chocolate because the man just keeps right on going]

Not to say it doesn't kinda suit you, but the shitty thing's clashin' a little with your complexion -- and when did you start wearing hats, anyway? This a new teenage thing?
