[Hot Springs Trip] A time to relax and have fun? A most unusual lesson...

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

Characters: Everyone who wants to come!
What: Hot Springs, excuse for a course and some strange curses...
Where: Mahou no Toki Resort
When: August 20th
Rating: People near naked in towels. Also all hot spring links involve butts. View at your own risk.

[Ahh, the hot springs. Deeply nestled a few hours away from the school, the legendary Majou no Toki resort, once rumored to be run by Tanooki  themselves. The weather is still pretty hot at this time of the year and you're all lucky; today is WARM AND SUNNY!

Packed with little more than a small luggage bag, and bathing suits for those who want to stick to the mixed springs, you are brought here by a sadly uneventful bus ride, apart from that time a T-rex started to chance everyone along the road and ate the first bus driver and OH GOD IT WAS TERRIBLE but you're all here alive and in one piece. That's what counts.

You are brought inside, where an old man and woman inspect everyone, shake Ganondorf's hand and you are then all whisked away to tiny little rooms with square mats and bamboo floors. Here, there are a few refreshments and food; gotta start the trip with some food right? For the teachers, there is sake. you can have more if you like, but beware, it's powerful stuff.

Afterward, you are all told you must take a full shower before entering the springs. It makes sense hmmm? You don't want to get in their dirty and contaminate them right? That would be incredibly impolite. Here is what a shower looks like. You have to kneel.

Now here's the fun part! If you're going to the mix springs, you can put on your bathing suit now. If you are much braver, the male and female only (non mixed) springs, you are given a tiny white towel to walk around for your modesty. Once you are in the water, however, it comes off. Time to get up close and intimate with other students and teachers, huh? But don't worry, there's nothing sexual about this. It's just your mind wanting to do that. And that's what this course is for.

Right.

Enjoy. Have fun.

Oh, and please don't mind those little cursed puddles in the back and the door leading to them that says "not enter" in red letters. Oh wait. The sign came off last week during an accident. Oops. Now it's just a door leading to some puddles. Hmmm....]

[OOC : Feel free, once the introduction threads are over, to start your own threads, saying at what time they are (anywhere from 8am to early the next morning. Your characters can even stay at the nearby hotel if they want to be there tomorrow or come back to school late. This is so we don't have too many threads on the first page causing terrible loading times. PLEASE MINGLE! Get new character interactions! Join other people's interactions! Have fun! Cause trouble! Get cursed! It's all good.

Curses will be random and given out as you fall in. Possibly decided live in the chat. It's like Russian Roulette, but more fun and terrible for your characters.

Post as either 3rd person writing or action logs, whatever you do is entirely up to you! ♥]

[ARRIVAL - REACTIONS AND MINGLING]

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

[Upon arriving, you are whisked to tiny rooms to mingle with your fellow students and teachers and eat the typical food served here (http://hararie-japan-tokyo-tokyo.com/japanese_food/2009/08/08/Dish-of-hot-spring-hotel-in-Japan.gif).

You are also given what seems to be bathrobes (http://kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/globalbros/images/thermal-springs-bath-550.jpg) in preparation for the bathing tonight.

Try not to get TOO drunk on that sake. For now anyway.]

[thewunderkind]

[OH MAN look at all that sashimi, Lash is probably scarfing down a bunch of them noisily and being very impolite.

Someone might want to stop her doing that. Or just eat along with her, either works.]

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

[What the heck is all this food. SO GROSS.

Zapdos just sits around off to the side probably going 'KEH' at it all.]

[thats-nogood.livejournal.com]

[What no chilidogs aww, Sonic is going to politely eat a piece of fruit or two, but not touch this very much. Fish isn't a huge thing for him, considering.]

[new-moon-prince.livejournal.com]

[The only reason why Silver even went on this trip was that he thought his father wouldn't be going. As it turns out he was and there was no turning back now. Hundreds of obscenities were being dropped in his head when he realized this and he wasn't exactly gaining any joy or enthusiasm even after they reached their destination.

To everyone else? This little ball of joy and sunshine was giving the world the most evil glare ever. If you talk to him he will probably yell at you.]

Re: [ARRIVAL - REACTIONS AND MINGLING]

[Oh boy, while Surge was being a bit of a douche unwilling to come around, Goose was still incredibly nostalgic. A hot spring was where he met his lover, after all, and oh hello food.

...

Hello. Food. FOOD.

Except oh god was that bait on his plate, he was NOT TOUCHING THAT. He will just dive straight for everything else. He doesn't drink too much sake, though. THIS TIME.]

Re: [ARRIVAL - REACTIONS AND MINGLING]

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

[OH HEY DIDN'T YOU EVER KNOW FISH WAS HEALTHY for the mind and body? Misty sure knew. And thus, she loved eating fish and everything else about them.

She loved hot springs. She ADORED hot springs in general. They were a lot of fun, and honestly one of her favorite water-based activities. It had been a while since she had been at a hot spring, after all.

... But enough of that. Food time! She munches on everything pretty politely, but doesn't really bother with the sake. She wasn't really into alcohol.]

Re: [ARRIVAL - REACTIONS AND MINGLING]

[dirgeoffire.livejournal.com]

[Is this what humans eat? It's slimy and gross. Yes he tried one and then threw it out.

He watches the others eat the food. How can they eat them ew gross.]

Re: [ARRIVAL - REACTIONS AND MINGLING]

[breaks-ground.livejournal.com]

Well. It'd been awhile since he went to any Hot Springs. Hopefully this'd prove to be a mini-vacation of sorts.

Yeah right.

Bah, so many people in such tiny rooms. Too cramped for his tast...

Oh my, was that sushi and sashimi? Never mind, this was going to be great!

[He's mingling around with some food :3 feel free to bother so much!]

[SHOWER TIME - MALES]

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

[It's time for you to take off that bathrobe and get hot and naked until a....very cold, cold stream of water hits you. Make sure you wash everything - hair, body, nails and all that wonderful stuff. You will be inspected before going in to make sure you are clean. Joy.

It's not like any shenanigans can happen when you're taking a shower naked with other people right next to you, right? Certainly no towels are going to be snapped at each other's butts. That would be immature.]

Re: [SHOWER TIME - MALES]

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

[Goose sure was usually insecure when he went strutting about nude, let alone barely clothed. Either way, he had so, so much exposed in all of its glory for everyone (and I do mean everyone) to see. That was quite a thing for him, but he decided on this hot springs trip that he would try to get over that. C'mon, it was stupid. He didn't have to feel so silly about that, right? Of course not!

And so he went into the shower. He admittedly yelped a little at the cold water, but apart from that, it was awfully smooth sailing.]

Re: [SHOWER TIME - FEMALES]

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

[Misty was slightly uncomfortable with the idea of showering around other nude ladies, but surprisingly, not very much. She walked around campus in a swimsuit for Arceus's sake. It was a different thing to see her naked, yes, but if she didn't mind being a bit revealing, how was this so bad?

Not that she was sexual or anything. Heavens no, that was far from the truth. She was actually still, as mentioned, a little uncomfortable. Her breasts and her... Water Spout (so to speak) showing wasn't the best thing in the world, but she could deal.

Until that very cold water hit her, of course.

Then she screamed. AHHHHH.]

[CURSED PUDDLES IN THE HOT SPRINGS]

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

[The little puddles are littered everywhere. What do they do? What do they mean? Random and strange wonders are available to you! Just be careful, you might get more than you ever wished for...]

Re: [CURSED PUDDLES IN THE HOT SPRINGS]

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

[Goose was a bit confused by the puddles away from the other springs. Sadly, he hadn't known about the last hot springs being cursed, and so he held no suspicion as he approached. There was no sign of danger, anyway. Surely he could check it out.

He stepped around, including getting his feet into puddles. Not bad, but very dull. There was no point in standing around, he realized as he ran a hand through his hair-...

His hair.

His... his hair.

IT WAS GONE (minus the mustache-- old picture). (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/Shadow_Angel_Umbreon/geezsiswhy-1.png)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

[OOC SPRING TIME!]

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

[From this point on forth, feel free to start up new posts with your dude in the spring at a time and which one, and then others can interact with you and have fun. Intermix with as many people as you want! Have fun, you guys! ♥]

GIRL'S POOL, 9PM

[thewunderkind]

[And here is a Lash lodging in the warm water. She's used to being naked around army men anyway so this is just a return to roots. It's so nice and quiet and peaceful.

...a bit boring but eh, the water makes her relax. For now.]

[readuringbattle.livejournal.com]

[And then Canas peeks over the dividing wall.]

Nighttime, non-mixed springs

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

[Goose was angry. Goose was beyond angry. No, he was in fact FUMING.

He didn't expect to lose all of his hair having stepped into some puddles. How in the world did that even- no. No, he wasn't even going to question it because of how batshit this place usually was. Needless to say, he had to admit that he was glad Surge didn't come because it would have wound up being an unpleasant trip for him, too.

So for now, he just sank right into the water and sighed. It was... admittedly not so bad being nude. For now.

Being bald, however, was a completely different story.]

Re: Nighttime, non-mixed springs

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

I knew your guy was into buzzcuts, but don't you think you went a little too much there, bra?

DUDE IN THE DUDE SPRING; 8PM

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[This was really relaxing, Mac was glad he came! He had never been to a hot spring and he was enjoying the relaxing waters it had to offer. Any sore and pulled muscles were at ease! He almost wished they had one near the WVBA to go and unwind. The tanned, muscular was just lodging around. Of course, he doesn't mind being bothered.]

ITALIANS IN THE DUDE SPRING; 8PM

[breaks-ground.livejournal.com]

Giovanni couldn't agree more. He honestly needed this after everything. He relaxed into the spring, sighing as the stress began to leave him.

"How was your week?"

He was trying to make small talk...the coming meeting would be stressful enough.

AUTO SHOP CLASS! FRIDAY AFTERNOON AT THE LAKE

[babylonmechanic]

[Wave was clad in her white bikini while she waited at the water's edge for the students who bothered to show up to do so.]

All right, everyone, glad you could make it. Those who did show up are in for a nice treat. I've got my hands on a few special boats for today's class. They're called Seabreachers.



They're small one to two rider vehicles, kinda built like bobsleds mixed with jetskis. You can plane them up and down to skim the surface of the water, or dive down and shoot up to jump. And today, I'm giving you all the chance to ride them. 'Course, that's AFTER you fix them!

I've got my hands on 8 of them. You're going to work together to get these bad boys working again, and then take them out for a spin. I'm also providing each group a copy of the schematics. The problems are minor. This is a test to see how well you can diagnose issues with your vehicle before you start working. If you need any help, ask me. Now pair off and get started!

Re: AUTO SHOP CLASS! FRIDAY AFTERNOON AT THE LAKE

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

[OH HEY A LURKER.

A LURKER WHO REALLY LIKED THE LOOK OF THIS OH MAN OH MAN.]

... Damn. I kinda want one.

Mixed springs, idk like seven??

[blazinglizard.livejournal.com]

[Ganondorf's spell had withstood the shower test. But there was a world of difference between a quick swipe under a showerhead and taking the plunge into a full-out body of water. Char would be the last person on earth to admit to any sort of aquaphobia, but... man. C'mon.

So here's Char just... kinda... hovering at the edge of the spring. Looking kinda nervous. Like the cool dude he is.]

Re: Mixed springs, idk like seven??

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

[Zapdos on the other hand wasn't all that worried with water for obvious reasons. He had just finished his shower and came out to the mixed springs to see Char there. He decides to go say hi and walks over to give a light tap on the shoulder.]

Hey.

Around evening, non-mixed

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

[Misty was mad. Oh, was she ever fuming mad. Not only did she turn into a mermaid, but her voice was completely out of whack. But she couldn't help it. Her voice had changed so drastically and wouldn't really revert back.

This was annoying. SO ANNOYING. So now she just sat in the springs, the water up to her neck as she fumed and FUMED.]

[shiminon]

[Oh, Shinon recognized Misty. She was that girl who... Never mind. Anyways, things were sort of weird right now. Really sort of weird. So, against his better judgment, he steps in and takes a relatively distant seat from the mermaid girl.]

Good evening, my lady. Are you, perchance, undergoing any strange ailments to-night? [By the way, he's got this unusual English accent, paired with a monocle and a top hat. He left his cane on the ground behind him.

His expression betrays his softer-than-normal tone: he looks peeved.]

Around Midnight, Mixed Springs

[panelderomance.livejournal.com]

[Neris wasn't expecting the springs to be this warm. She's at the edge of the pool, trying out the waters by dipping her feet in.

She needed to make sure she could get out of the springs before her tail gets completely soaked in hot water, otherwise the heat would get to her...]

Re: Around Midnight, Mixed Springs

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[Authentic Japanese experience with a very pretty girl once again Otacon was all smiles when he came in with his swimming trunks and OH GOD HE WAS SO PALE WHITE OH GOD SOMEONE COVER THAT CHEST at least it as night so it was harder to see.]

Mixed springs, a little after he got the curse.

[yellow-binesi.livejournal.com]

[Zapdos returned to the hot springs after tripping into one of those weird hot springs (http://community.livejournal.com/sbg_logs/531385.html?thread=30199737#t30199737). He had taken a shower to get cleaned off and decided he would go for another splash just because there was nothing else to do.

Feel free to come and talk to him or something. Yeah.]

[thewunderkind]

[And there was his trainer. She kinda ALMOST feels bad about what happened, so she has...amazingly, found a jello pudding cup. Actually she went to the kitchen and demanded they make some.

After looking for him, aha! There he is.]

Hey!

Mixed springs. About 6pm

[monotreme-101.livejournal.com]

*And here is Knuckles the Human in his speedo, walking along and sploshing into the spring, holding a large beverage. Awww yeah this is going to be relaxing!*

Re: Mixed springs. About 6pm

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

::And here is Max the Angrytankguy in his orange trunks, lumbering along and easing into the pool, holding an extra large bottle of orange star soda (imported!). Awww yeah this is going to be manly!::

Hey, Knuckles.

[ATTACK OF THE WERE-CHICKEN-CHINCHILLA MAN THING; late night]

[breaks-ground.livejournal.com]

[After dark sets in, there is a strange creature lurking about. It has the figure of a man, but chicken feet and feathers and makes clucking noises and rodent barks every now and then... Dare you approach?]

[OOC: Okay, it's Giovanni after he got cursed, but you don't know that. Come poke him, stalk the strange creature, whatever 8D]

Re: [ATTACK OF THE WERE-CHICKEN-CHINCHILLA MAN THING; late night]

[new-moon-prince.livejournal.com]

[Silver started settling down after finally accepting the fact that no, this place does not have grits, nor does it have the capacity to make them. No amount of demanding will make that happen. He was really looking forward to them too. Not even with anything extra added because there was nothing like food that tested like soggy paper. Or something. Man, X-TREME puberty does really weird things to your taste buds.

So now he was just relaxing. In.... an unspecified place of the spring that currently had no visitors. because the mun is very helpful and descriptive like that]

mixed or non-mixed, specify your choice, any time

[shiminon]

A redheaded gentleman is sitting calmly in the springs, compulsively sipping some tea. Even though he's in the water, he is wearing a monocle and a top hat while sporting a cane at his side that just seems... inseparable.

Though some may recognize this old chap as Shinon, his usual expression of distaste toward all things is gone and replaced with a relatively calm one, maybe even a smile pulling at his lips included. Sitting there silently like that, he almost seems wary, worldly, and knowing. Sort of a strange combination.

Later in the day, let's say 11pm

[pkwallstaple.livejournal.com]

Duster ran by wearing only his tiny, tiny towel and looking rather drunk and sloshing a bottle of sake (he'd moved on by this point).

"Party on broooooooooooooooo," he slurred, making a punk rock handsigns at Lord Tophat von Monocleface.

MIXED SPRINGS, ANY TIME

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

Lighter was in a fantastic mood. Maybe it was the fresh mountain air, but ever since stepping out of the shower room he felt so alive and the world was beautiful and he was beautiful and there were so many gosh darn beautiful women to be in the company of. How blessed he was!

It couldn't have had anything to do with that puddle he stepped in on the way, no sir.

Oh... oops. He still had his towel on. He originally came out planning on sticking to the men's side, you see. But he would at least keep it around his waist at all times. Probably.

Re: MIXED SPRINGS, ANY TIME

[pkwallstaple.livejournal.com]

What's this, dear reader? Someone in only a little towel as well, heading in your general direction? And holding a bottle of booze? Whoever could it be?

"WHOOOOO, LIGHT-AR, MY MAN! PAAAAARTY!"

Why, its your bosom friend, Duster, ready to party hard. He's next to you now.

He's holding his hand up for a high five. Don't leave him hanging, bro.
