[Open] It's getting hot in here

[showsnopiety]

Who: Caren and anyone visiting the hot springs!
When: Post dungeon, could be right after fail/success, could be days after
Where: Hot Springs of course
What: There's a hot springs, so now there's a hot springs episode.
Rating: Could be a p-13 and beyond because some people are only wearing towels in this place.





[Win or fail, everyone needed a reason and a way to relax. With the fall of the towers, there was all sorts of good things to come from it. Some would say it was the birds; and others would say it was the hot springs.

The large, large pools of heated water. Sure, they could be used as a way to get all steamed up (or even steam punk) but after all that hard work, everyone deserves a break!

Bring your swimsuits, your towels, your drinks and snacks-who knows, you should be able to find them in the bazaars, or even on Airy. It's time to soak in the heat!]

It's fine, Jae-ha, many others might wear some too. [Or at least she saw Bolin with swimming trunks.

And whoa, Yata is meaning business now.]

I do. [Time to make Jae-ha lighter and make it easier to drag him? Fly and leap with him in tow to the nearest shop? The possibilities are now endless!]

[flirtations]

I don't care about that, but why do I have to?! [ Now he's just being bratty on principle, tbh, because not only is the prospect of wearing clothes into the hot springs dumb, but he's a free man!! ]

I'm a free man! This isn't FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIRRRRRRR!!! [ is the cry that's heard as he's lovingly transported through the air or whatever ]

[rollin]

Then heads up!

[ Ah, yes. You know that thing Jae-ha does with his feet? Yata and Vietnam are doing it. They're doing the thing.

Have fun zooming in the air and nearly careening into buildings as the Rook pair parkours their way there, tossing Jae-ha to each other like a rag doll with their gravity magic so he doesn't get away. And also because Yata's a shit. ]

[hoasen]

[ISN'T THIS FUN THOUGH? Now that she's gotten a better handle of her powers, and they're able to just parkour across the place with Jae-ha in tow, it's exciting! At least it is when they're not fighting something.

This is a great idea, Yata! Jae-ha, look like you enjoy it more--]

Jae-ha, I thought you usually loved flying! [She's messing with him too, all thanks to Yata's devious plan.]

I think there's a shop over there! [And she gestures towards one of the buildings. The NPCs are probably pointing at them.]

[flirtations]

Very funny! Just wait until I get my revenge on you guys! [ Comes the feeble complaint from the current subject of this game of catch.

Um yeah he's pretty much at you assholes' mercy until you let him go so this is my tag. ]

[rollin]

[ YEAH YEAH WHATEVER. Yata gives Jae-ha one final toss, passing him to Vietnam before they both land and reach their destination. ]

Looks like we'll find a Shore Fit for him here.

[ Yeah. That's the store name... shut up Yata. ]

[hoasen]

[And last catch! Which means she's holding him over her shoulder (wow) as they land safely.

This must be a great chain store.] Oh! I remember hearing that Shore Fit was having a sale. [News from Capablanca, maybe?!

She now sets Jae-ha down. NO RUNNING.]

[flirtations]

[ Despite all the flying and parkour bullshit he partakes in, Jae-ha's never experienced motion sickness. Today may be the first time, probably because he had no control over it! He groans when they hit the ground, a limp body on Vietnam's shoulder.

He's too dizzy to run away, so all he can do is lightly stumble behind them. ]

That's fine, as long as we can get back to the springs before it gets dark. [ he doesn't care anymore, and he's so grumpy. ]

[rollin]

Hm? What happens when it gets dark?

[ He doesn't seem to care about what Jae-ha thinks and—nevermind, he's distracted. ]

Oh! Look, Viet! These ones have flames on 'em! [ POINTS AT THE SWIMMING TRUNKS ON THE MANNEQUIN. ] And these have crows!

[hoasen]

I think he wants to hurry back so he can enjoy the hot springs before it gets too dark. [Right? Is that what he means? Maybe?

Too late, she's distracted too.] O-oh, they're similar to the t-shirt you purchased before! I think they'll both suit you--...and they're on sale!

[Jae-ha, stop them from being fashion disasters.]

[flirtations]

[ Nope, he doesn't care anymore. Nothing matters. You guys can look like fashion disasters.

He's going to subtly wander off to a corner of the shop while they're distracted.

... Actually, his mood is somewhat lifted as he picks this up curiously.

Wait, is he serious? He's walking up to check out, even.

He's going to be the biggest disaster of them all. ]

[rollin]

[ Yata's too busy checking out his supa hot swimwear to pay attention to Jae-ha's purchases, oblivious as he approaches the counter. ]

Oh, Jae-ha already bought something. Nice! I got these.

[ What did Vietnam get? YATA'S NOT GONNA ASK. ]

[hoasen]

[Just like Yata, Vietnam didn't notice what Jae-ha bought at all. Just that--] Oh! He warmed up to the idea!

[As for her? She got a two piece bikini. Yet another to add to her collection, since she didn't bring her other. But it's probably more effective in a hot spring like this.]

[flirtations]

[ i hate you guys so much

this is the worst and i refuse, so he's also grabbing the plainest black shorts ever!!!

he bought both!!! whatever!!! ]

[rollin]

[ god alma after all we did for u...

Yata's just happy Jae-ha has swimwear now. ]

Alright! Now we're all ready for the hot springs! Jae-ha, I'll be watching you! [ In the least sexiest way possible, just so you know. ]

[hoasen]

[I can't believe we got betrayed like this.

Vietnam too tbh. Even more happier if he got it on sale!]

We are! Let's change first to make sure that Jae-ha will be safely in his swimwear.

[TRUST.]

[flirtations]

Oh? Will you be admiring me, Yata-kun?

[ HE KNOWS THAT'S NOT WHAT YATA MEANT... but he'll still be a shit.

He turns to Vietnam and smiles, uneasy. ]

You... want us to change here? [ Now he's really glad he bought the "respectable" suit, too. ]

1/3

[rollin]

Fat chance! [ yata why are you blushing tho ] 'Course you're changing here!

[rollin]

After what happened on your birthday, we just can't trust you when it comes to wearing clothes...

[rollin]

Especially when girls are gonna be around!

[hoasen]

[She's a little distracted because was Yata blushing?! Whoa?!]

A-ah yes, what Yata said! Besides, it's easier to prepare now, while there is room.

[flirtations]

It's alright, Yata-kun, I won't tell Asuna-chan.

[ Yata just makes it too... too easy to tease him.

He shrugs and gives in, apparently, taking his bag and heading into the dressing room.

Which one will it be?

When he steps out it's the hammock.

Of course it's the hammock. It's the one chance to actually wear it. He's not even strutting, he just looks completely nonchalant. ]

[rollin]

[ Yata's hanging with Vietnam, telling her how it's great that they're doing a service for the people until Jae-ha steps out of the dressing room.

Yata whips his head around so fast. ]

WHY!?

[hoasen]

[It was such a nice conversation Yata and Vietnam were having. Until she screamed.

And pushes Jae-ha back into the change room.]

DO NOT COME OUT UNTIL YOU WEAR SOMETHING DECENT.

[flirtations]

Don't you like it?! I think it brings out my good side!

[ REVENGE IS SO SWEET.

He says nothing in response, he's just laughing his ass off as he's being pushed back into the changing room!!!

The laughter continues even as he changes into the "right" bathing suit, and he's still smiling once he comes out. It's just plain black shorts-- inoffensive and unremarkable. ]
