[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.

I'm not sure. Is she a younger girl with a heart in her hair?
[At least, it had looked like it was in her hair to Maria. But that's a thought for another time, and Maria curls a loose bit of her own hair around one finger as she nods along with Natsuru's words.]
You're right about that, but turning that into something that would let me provide for any shinki I might get as well as myself could be harder. It's a selfish thing to say, but I do need the work for that kind of reason as well.
no subject
[She's still amazed that she's met three actual idols! But that's something to think about later, if at all. Right now, she listens to Maria's concerns.]
No... I don't think that's selfish at all.
[She looks more solemn now, seriously thinking about the problem this could pose for gods who have worked in the spotlight. Or even shinki who might want to.]
It'd probably be tough, but I don't know if it's impossible. Maybe it is... but I thought I wouldn't be able to get a job at all.
no subject
It's not the kind of description you could put to many people, is it?
[But that's one thing, and the main point they've come to here is another. A similar thought is weighing on Maria, especially with Sheryl having already told her one of her shinki was setting up a talent agency - perhaps she should try asking him when it comes up? In any case, her expression is one of deep consideration.]
Maybe. I think there's other people trying similar things, though, so there could be a chance of more information there. If I could spread the power of music here as well, I'd like to.
no subject
[She smiles shyly again, a light blush tinting her cheeks. It's just an honest admission. Yet she's still somewhat embarrassed by how automatically interested in idols she is.]
no subject
I'm sure you will eventually, one way or another. With the number of performers there could be in the Heavens, it seems a waste not to at least try setting up a show, doesn't it?
no subject
Yeah! Even if it's just for the rest of us here... I think it'd be fun.
no subject
I think so too, and it seems like things can get quite bad here. It would be a good way to help people unwind and give them strength for the next battle.
no subject
We could really use something like that! Just like how it's nice coming here for a break, after what just happened.
I hope the things we go out to take care of aren't always as bad as they've been, though...
no subject
I'm sure it won't all be like that. From what little I've heard about that attack, it was something unusual even for an event we had to intervene in. So we can hope for a little peace - or at least smaller-scale dangers - before something like that happens again.
no subject
[Oh, but Maria probably isn't dead, is she? Since she's a goddess, and Natsuru's at least sort of aware that gods work on different rules than shinki do. So she guesses the afterlife thing only really applies to her, in this case.]
Anyway... we don't have to talk about official stuff! Sorry...
[This doesn't really seem like the time or place to contemplate their new existence.]
no subject
Natsuru's apology seems to snap her back a little from that thought, though, and she waves a hand as if to dismiss the worry.]
It's fine, I think we both just went with the flow of the conversation. Besides, it is helpful for me to learn new things about this place when I've only been here four days.
no subject
[She can relate there.]
I haven't been here much longer, but... I'm glad if I could help a little bit.
no subject
You did. There are definitely some things I understand a lot more now after talking to you.
no subject
[Yep, she's blushing again. She helped the gorgeous idol, this is a big deal, okay?]
... Thank you.
no subject
That's quite alright. [On the other hand, she's been in the pool for a while even before Natsuru got in, and as she lifts her hands to fix her hair again, she notices they're starting to prune.]
Oh, it looks like it might be time for me to dry off for the moment, too. [Straightening up, she starts to move towards the steps out of the pool.] It's a shame to go so soon, but maybe we'll see each other again?
no subject
[Her moment of being flustered forgotten, she smiles and nods in agreement with Maria's sentiment.]
I hope so! It was really nice to meet you, Maria-san!
no subject
It was a pleasure to meet you too. Enjoy the rest of your day, though I imagine that won't be hard in a place as well-equipped as this.
[As it is, she's going to start heading out. She's pretty sure there was some kind of "relaxation room" she could use to dry off...]
