What: HOT SPRINGS: HOTEL EDITION
Where: The hot springs RESORT.
When: March 25th - March 29th
Warnings: Hotel shenanigans.

After a relatively normal bus ride, you find yourself at a secluded mountain resort.



The hotel is all-inclusive, with every manner of amenities and activities (skewed toward the relaxing--with saunas and spas and hot tubs aplenty) to keep one occupied for a full five days. Time for some much needed R & R.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!

Cress watched the two bicker for longer with rising concern. His girlfriend and his brother were the complete opposite of "getting along" to the point where they looked as though they were itching to launch at each other's throats at any passing moment. It was only a matter of time before someone lost an eye.

"Please! Both of you!" she cried, spreading her hands apart through the air as though to spread the two apart. "You're only making it worse! Let's stop fighting now and talk this over with cool heads."

It didn't bode well for her, knowing that two important people in her life were turning into fast enemies. She wasn't sure whose reported or observed behavior she was most disgusted with, but playing the blame game was useless because they were both being indignant and irrational with spite.

While Celes had an insult ready and raring to go, Cress' words managed to break through his anger. God...he wanted to make Chili pay for what happened, but at the same point and time...he really didn't want to hurt Cress. Uggg, the pain of actually giving a damn about people. Perhaps he was better off before...

No, it's best not to think like that.

His hands shook as he held back the words, clamping his mouth shut so that he wouldn't say something worth regretting later. Finally, after a few seconds, Celes calmed himself down and sighed. "Fine. But I'm only doing this for you."

"Oh, just for Cress?" she repeated, giving Celes a nasty glare. "That's strange, that you think you can show me your true colors and then turn to Cress like that! He's- He's my brother! I don't care what's going on here, Cress deserves better than you!"

By this point, Chili was red in the face with anger.

Cress shoved a rigid finger right in Chili's red angry face.

"Chili? Cease at once. You're only exacerbating this situation! Cress will hear no more of it." She returned her finger to her own personal space and checked Celes, then Chili again, for good measure. She did not look pleased one bit. Panpour ambled closer to his trainer, hoping to remind her that he was there for her if she ever needed it again.

"Now. If it wouldn't be too much trouble... Don't you think apologies are in order?" YES. SHE'S LOOKING AT BOTH OF YOU...

...

Cress, you and Celes are going to have a little chat when this is over.

Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists as they shook, the gambler stood there trying to get a hold of himself. Finally, he let out the most begrudging "I'm sorry" ever to be uttered in the history of mankind.

Chili huffed. She knew. She knew that sorry meant jack shit, and she made that 100% obvious with the way she glared at Celes.

But then, she turned to Cress, redirecting her eye contact. "I'm sorry," she replied back, but kept her eyes on Cress rather than Celes. She planted her hands on her hips, like the problem was fixed and Cress could just leave Celes now. Because this wasn't gonna fly with Chili.

She let go of a breath that she'd been hoarding in her lungs in one even sigh. That had been easier to deal with than she had been anticipating. "Thank you."

But the tension still radiated between them. Cress was tempted to cut it. They would be dealing with each other in the future, whether they liked it or not.

"Now that we've come to an understanding that both of you have something to apologize for, why don't we move on?" She showed them a smile and held out her palm in the way she characteristically gestured. "Cress and Panpour were going to try out the spa together, so we will be taking our leave."

The invitation to join was up in the air for either of them to grab, and she wasn't sure whether they would even be interested in such an activity, but perhaps it would be best that they did not spend time together right now. So long as they parted ways, she could feel more at peace.

"I'm going with you," stammered Chili, trying to push her way in to reclaiming what she felt was hers. "Besides, I haven't been there yet!"

There were no repairs to this relationship. Not from Chili's perspective.
