[closed] an exclusive resort takeover

Who: Sheryl and the people she invited
What: A bunch of gods and shinki are taking over a classy hot springs resort
When: May 20th, from 12pm until about 6pm
Where: Spa LaQua @ Tokyo
Warnings: Fanservice is inevitable

On the night of May 15th, Sheryl spammed the inboxes of every person that she knows and likes with an invitation to a place known as Spa LaQua. As Eno kindly reminded her, she needed a break and so do her friends... which leads to a tall, lavish building inside Tokyo Dome City. Sheryl is not the type to skimp out on what she thinks is the nicest-looking place. Not only does the building contain restaurants and relaxation areas, but also spa rooms and hot springs. The staff, while courteous, is also very stringent on rules; the "no-tattoos" rule may be problematic for any shinki, though they should be fine if they hide it with clothes or make-up. They'll expect people to pay up — ¥2,634, to be exact.

As it turns out, being a celestial resident from the Far Shore has its perks, like say, not being seen by the people of the Near Shore...



Locker Rooms
Once you enter the building, there are lockers for men and women. Shoes and other belongings are where they are safely stored while you strip down and slip into yukatas or some sweats with matching slippers. You'll receive towels as well, but they are tiny; they will either cover your head or your lower half (barely), but not both. Hope you brought your own towels.

Hot Springs/Open Baths/Saunas
The hot springs contain water that possess healing benefits such as soothing aching muscles, improving circulation, and moisturizing skin. They are also split in between the men's section and the women's. That won't stop people from sneaking inside to take a peek at the opposite sex, however. Mixed-sex rooms are also an option for the frisky.

Alternatively, you can check out the open air baths. Traditional saunas also exist if you want to get hot and sweaty. Have fun!

Healing Baden
Behold, the Healing Baden — a special area that you have to pay about 800 yen to use (or just be invisible and sneak right in). You can also rent your own towels and leisure wear, a red shirt and dark brown pants combo, in these floors to lounge in if you have the cash to spare. Here's what you can expect:

Special Saunas: All five of them, each with their own trendy gimmick. One sauna uses yellow sand for anti-aging effects, another sauna has walls that change color. There's even a special kind that contains a tank filled with colorful jellyfish swimming around.
Resting Areas: Just like the room says, it's a place for relaxation. Grab a comfy chair and plop down on it. You can also take in the view of Tokyo Dome City at the balconies.
Pool: There's a large pool for swimming adventures. Lounge chairs can be found near it.

Restaurants
Lunch time! You'll find plenty of restaurants to choose from, from cafés to Asian cuisine. Want to try out some udon, shabu-shabu, and other kinds of hot pot meals? Perhaps you're in the mood for sushi? How about some Korean food instead, like their style of barbecue and kimchi?

Other Places
This is where plenty of pampering ensues if you want to get rid of any lingering stress, or if you just want to look extra pretty.

Salons: Want a manicure? A pedicure? A haircut? Your chest, eyebrows, and who knows what else waxed? Then you've come to the right place!
Massages: Body, back, and foot massages are in vogue, as is aromatherapy if you want your body coated with essential oils — and your nostrils filled with floral and fruity scents.
Recliners: It's where you can find oversized recliners to sleep on while watching TV and ordering snacks.
Nap Rooms: They exist. Find a plush bed to claim and just nap the day away!
Makeup Bar: You'll discover a counter filled with cosmetics and skincare products for guests to use. Sheryl will be on this like white on rice.

Gift Shop
Time to grab a souvenir before you go! From clothing to other trinkets, you can find what you want to remember this place by.

(OOC: Top-level and threadhop to your heart's content! ♥!)

[ Never in Freyja's wildest dreams did she ever imagine this possible. Even when she joined Walküre did she think it possible to meet even one of the other idols that had inspired her so much and helped to give her the courage to leave home. Honestly this all seems like some crazy fever dream.

Yet she still sits quietly in her chair, hands folded in her lap and trying to keep her heart from bursting out of her chest.

In front of her is a very delicious club sandwich with potato soup but her mind is currently going a million miles a minute. Even the slice of apple crumble cannot break her out of the starry-eyed panic attack she is on the verge of having at any moment.

I never thought I would even have the chance to meet you in person let alone dream of having a meal with you. It... it's increible.

[ Nailed it. ]

[ And Freyja just hopes her happiness isn't overwhelming. She managed some control over her rune today but she cannot help the stray flashes that light it up in bright shades of pinks. The elders back in the village always said that she wasn't mature enough to hide her emotions but honestly?

She doesn't think that she wants to hide her emotions right now.

M-mm! I feel really lucky and I'm glad you decided to sit down with me today. It's like a dream come true.

[ Freyja sits up straighter at the mention of being thanked. Blinking in confusion, it is clear that she does not utterly understand what is meant until the wrist is dropped onto the table and she looks up -- her green eyes meeting Sheryl's own blue ones. ]

You... you're welcome! I'm just glad I was able to help. [ She breathes out and smiles brightly. ]

I wasn't sure what I could do to help so I did the first thing that came to mind, the one thing I do best and what makes me feel good. I'm glad I have this power and that I was able to help you.
