[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.

That doesn't mean she doesn't blush when she catches a glimpse on the way to the locker room, though. She just politely averts her eyes rather than make a big deal out of it. It's only normal to notice a woman as beautiful as her, after all.]
Did you want to go right to the salon next? Or are you hungry? We could get a quick lunch first.
[She asks while she finishes drying off and starts getting dressed. Once she's at least got her underwear on, she turns to face Patchouli properly.]
no subject
She's going to get herself dried off and dressed, though.]
No, no, let's head to the salon first, Natsuru. I'm fine for now.
no subject
Okay. Ready when you are!
no subject
I'm ready.
I'd normally say "after you," but I don't suppose that works too well here, does it? [So instead she just offers Natsuru a hand.]
no subject
[Natsuru laughs quietly, but takes the other girl's hand. Holding hands while they walk through the building to the salon is a nice, comforting, totally normal gesture between two friends, clearly.]
They sure do offer a lot of services here...
[She's looking at the signs as they approach, and apparently the salons do even more than just hair and nails. That should be enough for this visit, though.]
no subject
[Maybe together again! She supposes that implication is there but wasn't specifically trying to make it! This time.]
no subject
[Those hot springs were heavenly. She'd come here again for that alone, never mind the other ways to relax and be pampered!
Speaking of which, as they head into the salon, Natsuru gets a little shy about speaking up to get the attention of the salon workers.]
Um, excuse me? We're here to get manicures... maybe a pedicure too?
[She looks to Patchouli for confirmation.]
no subject
[That would be perfectly fine, really, even though they hadn't thought about it.]
no subject
[It doesn't seem like there'll be much wait, and soon enough the two women are shown to adjacent seats by two of the employees. It seems they'll be starting with soaking their hands and feet, so there's not much else to do but relax and chat some more.]
no subject
So, have you made a lot of friends already, Natsuru?
no subject
[She doesn't think it's necessary to mention Patchouli specifically. It's pretty obvious that they're friends by now.]
no subject
That's good to hear. I've met Kaine, but only briefly.
no subject
[Oh, Natsuru. If you only knew how selective that niceness is.]
I just went to karaoke with Masaki-chan a couple days ago, too. Before that, I always just sang by myself...
[And she still mostly does. But karaoke was fun, so she'd be open to doing it again.]
no subject
Oh! I didn't know you were much of a singer, Natsuru. I've never met Masaki, either, though.
[She supposes she doesn't know many people at all.]
no subject
[She glances down and blushes, unable to fidget with her hands at the moment since the salon workers are doing their thing.]
no subject
no subject
[She feels like she should still be embarrassed. But Patchouli's response makes her really happy, for some reason. It's encouraging that nobody seems to think she's weird at all for enjoying singing just for the fun of it.]
How about you? What do you like to do?
no subject
Ah... I spend a lot of my time reading and trying to learn whatever I can...
no subject
You're probably alone when you read, right?
What about with friends? What do you like to do then?
no subject
[She doesn't really have a whole lot of friends, is the problem. Whoops. Of course, telling her that is kind of hard, really.]
