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.

M'not disappearing! Give me a sec... [Give her a second to get this thing under control! It takes a moment or two, but finally she's tangible again. Whew.]

Sorry 'bout that. I've usually got it under control, honest!

[positivelycharged]

...Oh! So you're okay? [Whew, he thought he'd lost another one for a moment there.]

How do you do that? I didn't know people could make themselves appear again.

[sugarglitch]

I'm okay! [She brushes dust off of herself and, at his last question she just leans in to whisper-] I did it 'cause that's my superpower!

[She leans back, grinning.] It's pretty cool!

[positivelycharged]

[He listens veeerryy closely to her whisper, replying with a hushed whoaa...]

That is really cool, yeah! I don't have any superpowers myself, I think. It must be great to be able to do stuff like that!

[sugarglitch]

Oh, it's totally great! It's the best thing ever! [She didn't always think of it like that. But she beams all the same.]

Sorry 'bout bumpin' inta you, though. Didn't mean to! Guess I was just goin' really fast. [She... doesn't sound very sorry. But she does love going fast, so what can you do!]

[positivelycharged]

[So many superpowered friends, if he was anyone else he might've been jealous...!]

That's okay, I was going really fast too, so I guess I bumped into you too! [Speed demons, the pair of them!] Hey, what about we both run together! Then if we bump into anything it won't be each other.

[sugarglitch]

[Woah that is the smartest idea she's heard all day!]

That's a great idea! We can race! An' it'll be fun!

[positivelycharged]

Oh yeah! I like that idea. We'll see who's the fastest!!

[And run over the rest of Luceti in the process!!!]

[sugarglitch]

That's easy! That's totally me!! Ya ain't got a chance, kid! There's no one faster than me!

[positivelycharged]

You haven't tried yet though right? So maybe I'm the faster one!!

[sugarglitch]

Maybe. Doubt it, though. [She just grins all smugly.] Racing's in my code, after all!

[positivelycharged]

--Your code? What does that mean?

[sugarglitch]

Just means that I was made to be a racer! A really, really good one! The best!!

[positivelycharged]

Oh. Well I was made to be Ion, so I guess that makes me good at...reading? [Suddenly off topic???]

...But I'm still really good at running!

[sugarglitch]

[What is an ion even.]

Reading's boring though. But running's a lot of fun! C'mon, let's go already! Betcha I can get across the room 'fore you do! [She points all the way across the room to the hall that leads to the hot springs! There's a lot of people in the way, but when you're tiny it shouldn't be hard to weave in and out of the crowd!]

[positivelycharged]

[An Ion is ruler of the galaxy!!!]

Right! Let's go, let's go! [Sadly he's not quite as tiny as her but he'll be running his best anyway!]
