[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.

Bathing Area/Open Air Baths

[Accepting the invitation was one thing. But stepping inside the resort was an entirely different matter because despite his more 'regal' appearance, Aymeric has never really did any kind of pampering. Work and running a country required his attention more and this idea of relaxing involves sleep. Sometimes at his desk with a piece of parchment stuck to his forehead.

As he's clad in a yukata (oddly enough keeping his chest and arms covered), he's looking between all the baths, being confused at how customs even worked in this realm. So don't mind the elf man staring between the hot spring choices...

However, he was familiar a bit with the open air baths. The western highlands in his homeland for one had none of the frills and whistles but they were warm ninetheless. Stepping inside (once actually learning to take off the clothes but keep the towel) the water, he exhales and sighs in relief. This...actually feels nice.]


Pool

[Lounging by the poolside? Nope, not gonna do it. It's too big and too nice to go to waste. So what does Aymeric do? Get a swimsuit and start doing laps from one end to the other. He's moving quick and using those long arms and legs of his to gain speed and momentum. At least he's staying out of the way of anyone else and on occasion, he'll be taking a breather on the side where anyone can speak up.]

What is Massage? Is it Food?

[He's doing it again.

As in, staring at the entrance at where customers go to get massages. Aymeric's curious but he doesn't feel any kind of ache within his body. Oh he's knows what a massage is but he's a big workaholic: it's a bit hard for him to just waltz in and try to relax. He may need a little push. Literally or metaphorically depending on who decides to see him.]



Wildcard

[Have an idea? Go ahead and hit me up here or at Plurk under 'litamaxwell'!]

[A few days ago he ate some cursed fruit and what do you know, he's stuck saying every single thing that comes to his mind. He would have stayed home, but he promised to be here, and he's not going back on his word.

Even if half the time somebody engages him in conversation he half considers going into the nearest pool and submerging himself.

Luckily this isn't particular compromising.]


It's really great. Thank you for the invitation, Sheryl.

[personal profile] fullcowl 2016-11-28 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
This was a great choice. I might come back here again if things get bad again.

[He smiles- There's a lot they could be doing here.]

It's important to work hard but if you overwork there's the risk of breaking.
fullcowl: (052)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2016-11-28 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
I've broken a lot before all of this- becoming a god and everything. Back home when I didn't really know how to use my quirk properly, I broke my bones every time I tried to use it. It's been a while since that- I think everybody prefers it when I don't go and break all my limbs.

[He's long since accepted he's just a lot more talkative than he'd personally prefer.]

We're a lot stronger together. When we can work together and rely on each other, there's a lot more we can do. I'm really grateful to know you- I'm glad you helped me out when I first got here.

[He honestly looks a little puzzled when she says she can't tell.

He raises his right hand, two scars on each side. And roll up his t-shirt, so the many scars along it can be seen.]


Our doctors are really great, but if you're too reckless you'll still end up with scars like mine. I don't regret any one of these scars though. [His other hand rubs against the scars on his hand.] I got these saving Todoroki. [He rubs against the upper arm scars.] And these saving a little kid.

[He smiles a bit.]

Always here to help out a friend.

[A: Hot Springs]

[It had been a pleasant surprise to be invited to something like this so soon after coming to this place, and with free time so sparse back home, Maria chose not to waste the opportunity. Rather than duck the people at the door, she pays honestly with some of the money found in her temple, seemingly offerings from seafarers seeking good luck. She has enough spare for food and perhaps something nice later on, but that's it - best not to be too frivolous with the supply in her temple until she can find a more reliable income source.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the foresight to bring her own towel, and the choice of what to cover with the tiny ones in the locker rooms ends with it wrapped as securely as she can manage around her lower half as she settles herself in the spring, her hair out of its usual strange curls but draped over one shoulder so only the tips touch the water. Despite being otherwise naked, there's a necklace with what appears to be some kind of long, red gem hanging off it around her neck.

Positioning herself so that the water covers most of her bust, ample as it might be, she relaxes once that's done and lets herself properly enjoy the warmth of the spring.]


What an exquisite sensation...

[B: Pool]

[Having something to swim in is something Maria's made sure she took care of before coming here, and though it's not identical, she's managed to find something very similar to the bikini she wore back home. Despite it being made more for form than function, Maria enters the pool with her hair up in a tighter, more secure curl to keep it all out of the water and moves smoothly into a swimming stroke, keeping to the longer side of the pool where it's a little less awkward to attempt laps.

Given her position, though, people entering the pool might be at risk of getting splashed by her on the way past, even if she stops as soon as she realises she's done so, looking a little abashed. She's still wearing her necklace, even though it's not the most practical or safe thing to do while swimming, but it obviously hasn't bothered her.]


Sorry about that, I was paying too much attention to my stroke.

--

[C: Relaxation Area]

[This Tokyo is quite different to the one Maria's familiar with, a little regressed compared to it, and when she enters the relaxation areas with her hair still down and in a simple white sundress, she's drawn to the windows to look over the view. Even having spent four days in the heavens now, it's things like this that make it really hit her that this isn't her world - it's something entirely new, and she still isn't used to it.

While there is a faint hint of worry on her face as she looks out, it's tempered by excitement, and if anyone else enters the area, it fades off completely to be replaced with a welcoming smile as she turns to them.]


I see I'm not the only one who's enjoyed myself a little too much.

[[Maria will likely be very interested in meeting new people, so feel free to assume she approached your character anywhere!]]

[As soon as Aymeric stops to take a breather on the side of the pool Sora takes that opportunity to take a running leap and curl into cannonball into the water while shouting.]

Look out!!!

[SPLOOSH!!!

Oh. Sorry Aymeric, were you swimming there? Take a tidal wave and splash to the face.]

[Having been born and raised on a tropical island Sora is pretty much half fish when it comes to swimming and pools. So here he is zipping around the pool like it’s his natural state of being and having a grand time of it.

After another jump into the pool and vanishing underneath for a few very long moments, Sora pops his head out and latches onto the edge of the pool and waves at Sheryl.]


Aren’t you gonna swim?

[Sora isn’t too keen on sitting still and trying to take relaxing naps or sit through face masks and stuff so Sora opted to do a little exploring after spending most of his day in the water.

He finds himself in the relaxation areas soon enough and spots another one of Sheryl’s invites. At first he almost thought it was Sheryl with that same shade of pink hair.]


If I could spend the next week in the pool here, I would! I’m Sora, you having a nice time?

Does it come in birch syrup :3c

[personal profile] onedrinkwithme 2016-11-28 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh whoops. Sorry Sheryl, he honestly did not mean to do that. Once she does speak up, he steps off to the side because still having thoughts about this massage business.]

My apologies, it is just something I have not seen as much.
onedrinkwithme: (BUHHHH)

[personal profile] onedrinkwithme 2016-11-28 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[DAMMIT SORA YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE DIDN'T YOU?! Now Aymeric looks more like a wet cat once that tidal wave hits, sputtering out water and shaking his head. He even has to slick his hair so it stays out of his eyes.

But hey, at least no questions about the scars or anything. That's a good sign.]


Your warning came too late.
fullcowl: (052)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2016-11-28 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[He gives a small smile.]

Thank you, Sheryl. I'm trying not to get hurt as much though. I've worried my mom and All Might a lot at home. Todoroki doesn't remember it, but he got worried about it too. I don't really want anybody to worry over me, even if getting hurt sometimes is part of the job, there's no reason I should get that hurt again.

[WHAT NO HE'S JUST SWIMMING OVER HERE...! ONE FISH TWO FISH!

Sora emerges from the water with a gasp and shakes his head like a puppy and water droplets go everywhere. Magically, his hair is still relatively spiky.]


Guess you gotta work on being a little more speedy, Aymeric.

[He's grinning as he swims up to the edge.]

You're like a dolphin in here, you swim a lot?

[Sora props his chin on his hand and blinks at her.]

People watching? Why're you doing that?

[Yeah, he's gonna ask.]

Yep. If I could be reborn as a fish, I'd be happy.
