[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.

Pool

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-12-04 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sora is making his way for the pool at a run and is about ready to dive in when he gets caught up by someone asking to swim. He skids to a stop and glances at her with a smile.]

Hey! Yeah! You wanna race?

[Because she looks like she's getting ready for a race with that stretching!]
purehonkproject: (You can definitely clear)

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-12-05 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Race...?

[She looks puzzled by the question.]

I wasn't planning on it, but if you want to, I will!

[He chuckles when she looks a little puzzled.]

Because you're stretching? But yeah! Let's do it!

[Sora was practically born in the water so he doesn't think about that much. He hops into the water with a bit of a splash and treads there.]

I'm Sora, bye the way. You know Sheryl too, right?
purehonkproject: (You can definitely clear)

It's so I don't hurt anything!

[She wasn't born in the sea or anything like that, but it's pretty fun. And it's a good excuse to wear cute swimwear!

Honoka'll jump into the water.]


I'm Honoka! I met her when I first arrived in the Far Shore. She's really cool, right?

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-12-08 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He grins at her and nods.]

Nice to meet you, Honoka! Yeah, she is! It was really super nice of her to invite us all out like this. I didn't think all this spa stuff could be so cool.

[Honestly he almost didn't come because the idea of sitting still for an hour long face mask seemed like torture, but he's really glad he changed his mind.]
purehonkproject: (Can't you?)

sorry I'm so late

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-12-16 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never been to a spa before, but Sheryl's got great taste right? You could definitely trust her with anything!

[She's definitely all for trusting Sheryl's judgement in relaxation.]

I think so too. She's like an older sister that spoils you rotten. I'm really glad she did this, it's been a rough last month for a lot of us.

[And he's so thankful to have a chance to forget about all of the bad stuff at least for a day.]

Ready to swim?
purehonkproject: (Can't you?)

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-12-19 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! That's perfect. She'd make an amazing big sis.

[She jumps into the pool.]

Of course! You're gonna join me right?
