[HOT SPRINGS TRIP] - SUNDAY HOTEL

Characters: Many
What: Hotel Antics
Where: Fountain of Youth Hot Springs , hotel lobby and then some
When: Sunday, July 13th
Rating: Varies. PG-13 on average

Much like Saturday night, this log is where you'll be posting your hotel room threads, and exploring around the hotel. This includes the main lobby, the dining lounge [which has a bar], the hallways and the courtyard. All your hotel rooms and the main lobby have little laptops with computer access, if your characters want to update their journals for whatever reason. :3

Don't forget your handy dandy MAP!

FOREWARNING: I'M GOING TO HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT IF YOU HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS TO COMPLETE SATURDAY NIGHT, THAT YOU IGNORE THIS LOG'S EXISTENCE AND COMPLETE IT BEFORE JUMPING IN HERE. THIS LOG IS GOING TO GET BACKDATED NO MATTER WHAT, IT WILL NOT BE COMPLETED TONIGHT. IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE AND WE CAN WAIT FOR YOU. <3

OR IF YOU'RE COOL WITH DROPPING WHATEVER ACTIVIES YOU WERE DOING, ASSUMING THINGS WERE ALL WELL AND MOVING ON, THAT'S ALRIGHT. Just, mightmaybe be a good idea to talk with whomever your character might of been interacting with if it's possible, in case they wanted to do something special with you.

OR, IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE DOUBLE-DAY POSTING, THAT'S FINE TOO. JUST TRY NOT TO GET CONFUSED, BECAUSE I SURE AS HELL WOULD.

Same rules in this log as before--post new comments with appropriate labels for your hotel rooms, main lobby, ect... and reply to them accordingly.

If it's not too much trouble, linking to threads when you thread hop [or tegaki log] helps lessen the confusion! X)

We'll be checking out of the hotel Monday morning, so have your characters stay up late again when they're done playing in the springs, if you like! Have fun!

The little robot still didn't quite recognize Ionia in this form, but decided that perhaps it would be better if it stay out of the way of the small instructors. This included the very angry boy with glasses, who was probably only mere moments away from punching Instructor Falcon for pushing him.

It would approach the girl then, it thought, at least to keep her from jumping in between a volley of kicks and punches.

Samus immediately rushed over to Ionia after freeing herself from Porky's clutches. No amount of showering would make her feel clean again, even back in her regular body.

"Ionia! No, no, don't even think that! Your dad loves you, honest." She narrowed her eyes at Jeff. "Ms. Aran! Please, uh... c-calm down!"

What the heck was going on? Jeff was NOT acting like Jeff, Snake had tried to beat him up for no reason, and now he had made Ionia cry.

He tried to move closer to her but found himself shoved away as "Samus" of all people moved him aside and prevented him from reaching the girl. He grabbed the blonde's arm and tried to pull her away from Ionia. "Leave her ALONE, she doesn't want YOU!"

"You!"

Samus whipped her head around to glare at Falcon. Motherly instinct seemed to abound in a female body. She twisted her own arm around enough to grab DJ's wrist as he held her, and she yanked him towards him.

"Look, Mr. Falcon, I still don't know what exactly happened, but I don't want to have to deal with this right now, okay? Okay."

Jeff snarled at being pushed but took the moment to take a step back and survey what was going on. This was all incredibly chaotic and overwhelming but she had to calm down.

Jeff's eyes went to Ionia. Ok. This is Jeff's Pikmin, who... is apparently very clingy.
Then to Falcon, Falcon is a bratty kid just like Snake...
Then to Snake, "............"
Then to Otacon, You're not being helpful right now...
Then to Porky who currently doubled over holding his crotch and bleeding from the nose... which didn't take her long to figure out what happened while Jeff's body was being tackle glomped by naked students. .................... god I hate you.
Then to her own body, ... s... since when did my ass ever look that big?!
Then to Chibi-Robo who had been the most sane, helpful and providing of the bunch so far, I'll have to thank you later when all this is over...

Jeff ran a hand through his hair and adjusted the glasses on his face. Jeff pointed at Snake and Otacon, "Otacon! Please watch after Plissken for a little while. I promise I'll..." Jeff furrowed his brows briefly, "Catch up with you later." Jeff pointed to Chibi-Robo, "Please go with Otacon, and give him the water sample you took... " Jeff finally pointed at Falcon. "FALCON. YOU'RE REALLY DENSE. WE'VE BEEN HEARTSWAPPED." Jeff pointed to Ionia, his finger drooping a little, "... You... uh....." What am I supposed to do about that really... ".....Watch after Falcon. Please. "

Jeff reached out grab Samus by the wrist and tugged, wanting to pull her away from the group and towards the main lobby. "Jeff! We need to TALK in private. NOW."

Samus released DJ's wrist and followed Jeff, groaning inwardly. This was going to be awkward. Well. Moreso than it was already.

Hopefully he didn't end up getting in trouble for this - he didn't even know how it happened!

It was a really good thing that Jeff had pulled Samus away when she did (or was that the other way around?), because Ionia was about two seconds away from screaming. She'd been shocked speechless when some strange lady had grabbed her out of nowhere and then started acting so mean to DJ. Thank goodness Daddy had saved her from that scary lady! Ionia was pretty sure she had almost been kidnapped!

"...Ionia is confused." Ionia's voice was small and still shaky with tears. Why was Daddy calling that lady Jeff, anyway? Jeff was Daddy's name, wasn't it? Who were all these other people, anyway? And... "Why did Daddy call you Falcon, DJ? Your name is DJ." Another pause. "...My grandpa's name is Falcon."

DJ stood, dumbfounded for a minute that Jeff would speak to him like that. He sounded a lot like...

"...Heartswap?" A pause for the fact to register. "OHHHHH!" So that meant Samus was Jeff and Jeff was Samus. Suddenly things made a lot more sense.

But Ionia was still crying, and as the rest of the group dispersed, DJ finally ran over to her to make sure she was all right.

The barrage of questions, however, told him he had a lot of explaining to do.

"Ionia...your daddy is that lady right now, okay? They got switched." He made a small gesture, hoping that would aid in the absorption of that information. "So Jeff is in the lady's body, and she's in his. But they'll switch back soon and everything will be back to normal!"

His smile, however, immediately disappeared at her last question...mostly because she revealed her imagined relationship to his adult self. "Your...grandpa's name is Falcon?" Grandpa?! He wasn't THAT old, was he? From a ten-year-old's perspective, thirty-seven seemed soooo far away, but he didn't think that was old...much less a qualification for being a grandfather, of all things.

"Ionia, I think we need to go somewhere and talk."

Ionia was still confused.

So... that lady was her new daddy? Until they switched again? Um... okay... then Ionia didn't feel so bad about Daddy yelling at her, I guess? Unless Daddy was still Daddy then and Daddy was only that lady now. ...This Heartswap stuff made no sense whatsoever. Ionia must have been the only person in the world who had a lady for a daddy and a boy for a mommy.

But putting that aside, DJ looked really surprised to hear about Grandpa Falcon. Maybe he knew Grandpa Falcon, too? That made sense, if they were both Falcons... but DJ wasn't Falcon, DJ was DJ. Wasn't he?

Ionia sniffled and nodded, far too puzzled to do anything but agree with DJ.

((Continued here!))

Chibi-Robo was only too eager to please, _{as well as incredibly thankful that Ms. Aran had taken a breather} and went to try to wake and assist Dr. Emmerich in taking care of instructor Snake. _{He figured that it might be helpful to remember that he was not supposed to be called that, in case Otacon forgot.}

Chibi-Robo motioned for 'Plissken' to help him, having scooped up the unconscious Doctor onto his back, but not tall enough to avoid dragging the poor doctor.

Something inside Snake made him yell out.
"I don't need to be looked after, I'm not a child anymore!"
He flushed.
Ok, stop letting your body talk for you, Snake.
Hmm. Thinking of himself as Snake in this form was...strange. He was used to being referred to with his real name, not Snake, and certainly not Plissken.
He stared after Jeff and Samus as they ran off.
"...I want to go with Samus..."
He turned to Chibi Robo, and helped scoop up his best friend lying on the floor.
"Fuck."

... In retrospect, this was probably not the best partnership.

The instructor had recently blamed Chibi-Robo for falling into the spring to begin with.

Chibi-Robo was already disappointed in the little guy.

If Dr. Emmerich was awake, it may be a different story, as he'd serve as the mediator between the two.

Right now he was the literal rope connecting Chibi-Robo to Snake.

Should cut down on the junk food, too, thought the small robot as it slowly started to walk towards the Ryokan, making sure not to walk faster than 'Plissken'.

Once he made sure they were both safe in whatever room Dr. Emmerich's key opened, Chibi-Robo could tend to instructor Falcon and the familiar girl, it hoped.

Bad luck. These transformation balls. Are really, really bad luck.

Snake helped Chibi Robo carry Otacon back to his room, and threw him on the bed, collapsing on it at well.
"...I have to tell Otacon about my dream."
He looked over at Chibi Robo.
"...Thanks for helping me. I've just had a...really bad day. I've been the worst kind of jerk, so I guess I caused it all."

... Well damned if I don't feel guilty now.

Curse my lack of vocal chords.

Chibi-Robo sighed inaudibly, spinning its hands around as it thought for a moment how to communicate that it was alright... and simply did a small salute motion and smiled. It was the best it could do for now.

It popped open its lid and pulled out the squirter with the water sample. It looked around the room before gathering a small shot glass, a torn piece of a napkin, and a pen from various places in the room, and clearly labeled the napkin "Spring of Youth Sample" in what seemed to be a very neat Arial font, and then filled the little shot glass with the liquid, before covering it with a coaster, just in case anything small enough tried to dip itself in there.

It set the little shot glass somewhere where Snake could see it presently, and where Otacon would be able to spot it as well.

It waved at the two before heading towards the door, but stopped, curious if they needed anything else. Snake could speak up, at least.

After all, the boy had been... very drunk recently, and the robot wasn't entirely convinced that the spring simply eliminated toxins from the body just like that.

Would be good publicity, though.

"Are you going?"
Snake had begun to warm up to the little silver custodian, as he was still feeling undeniably confused and scared in his body.
"Thanks for helping! I think I'll take a nap here. I'm still feeling a little achey from the uh...sake."
He gave the robot a big grin.
"See you later."

The robot nodded and kept its smile. It was content that the boy seemed to have calmed down.

He still looked a bit out of it, but hoped that the boy's legs would be able to carry him to the bathroom if he needed to expel any alcoholic toxins.

The janitor waves as it headed out, and started to head back to wherever the young Physical Education instructor and the tiny nudist had gone off to.

"..."
The smile on Snake's face fell off as soon as Chibi closed the door behind him.
He held his head, a raging headache screaming at him, at how much of an idiot he was.
I drank wayyy too much.
He made to stand up, but his head didn't let him.
He decided to lay down instead, next to the unconscious Otacon.
Snake looked at the once younger man, frowning.
"Hey, Otacon, you're not going to wake up anytime soon?"
No answer.
Snake sighed. "I meant to tell you about my big mistake earlier, but I was too drunk."
He rolled over, addressing Otacon as if he was awake to hear it.
"I mean, not that I don't still want to kill you for sticking me and Samus in a room together, but...it didn't turn out so bad. But this morning I started thinking about how I probably would mess things up with her if I went on like this. Not to mention."
The boy bit his lip.
"FOXDIE. I have no idea when..."
He looked downwards, feeling a strange sensation behind his eyes. He chalked it up to the headache.
"She's a good person. And so much like me...I would ruin everything. She's suffered just as much as I had, I think, and this would just be another pile of shit."
He was vaguely aware that he was starting to not make sense, but since no one was listening, it didn't matter.
The feeling behind his eyes got to be more stinging.
Dammit, I need some pills or something...this is getting really painful.
He thought of how Samus had taken off his eyepatch last night. And how she had said that it didn't matter.
"Damn...I can't believe I ran out. The solution was just making the problem worse. Shit..."
His body had curled up by this time, into Otacon's slowly breathing chest.
"...I suck."
The stinging feeling got even worse and alarmingly enough, he felt tears of pain leaking out. But...did the headache really hurt that badly?
Snake grabbed Otacon's shirt, burying his face in it, choking back sobs.
FFFUCK. FUCK. ARE YOU CRYING?
Yes, he quite obviously was.
STOP CRYING, YOU PUSSY.
He couldn't. He wasn't him. He was a child.
SOLID SNAKE DOESN'T CRY. EVER.
Yes, Snake recognized that as being very true. But he wasn't Solid Snake. He was Dave.
Dave's hands shook as he got any emotion he had been holding in him since the first time he was a teenager out, into his sleeping friend's chest. He would worry about explaining why his shirt was wet when he woke up.
