[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!]

Sorry.

[ Is he sorry? He doesn't look to be. But going through the motions of saying it is good enough, right? (It isn't.)

He doesn't seem to be intent on leaving, anyway. So instead he just stares at her for a moment before pointing out what she's doing wrong... ]

You're overdressed.

[ateaist]

I don't need you to tell me that...

[As much as she'd like to deliver that response a bit more rudely boldly, she just can't. This really is a pain.

Instead she just rubs at her shoulder, unsure.]

I'm still trying to decide if I'm up for this. Th-there's no rule against standing around in your clothes...!

[burnmydread]

[ Is she really that uncomfortable? He doesn't see why--there are plenty of other people in towels and some people just straight up naked. Besides, she looks cute enough. ]

Yeah, but then they'll get all wet. And wet underwear is annoying.

[ He has the best logic. ]

[ateaist]

You have a point...

Ah, it's fine as long as I don't go in, isn't it? Then my underwear definitely won't get wet!

[She didn't really consider how that sounds prior to saying it...]

[burnmydread]

[ Is that a challenge? It sounds like a challenge. Where does he switch his swag on. ]

You sure about that?

[ateaist]

[Don't take routes just because you can, Minato.]

Eh? Of course...why wouldn't I be?

[burnmydread]

[ What's the point of being a Protagonist if you don't? ]

It's pretty slippery...

[ She might just.

You know.

Accidentally fall in. ]

[ateaist]

Oh! That's a very good point.

[Why is she walking closer...

Apparently, it's to lean over and look into the water.]

Although it seems fine from here...but there's no harm in being cautious.

[As if this counts as cautious.]

[burnmydread]

[ She thinks so, huh? How trusting of her.

Minato takes a step beside her, still for a moment. Before... ]

...Ah--

[ A very lackluster noise of alarm before he "slips" and bumps into her. Hard. ]

1/3

[ateaist]

[MINATO YOU PROTAGONIST SON OF A BITCH.

As expected, she can hardly stop herself from being thrown straight in, landing headfirst into the water and tumbling in completely.]

[ateaist]

[...

.....

.......

Maybe she's drowned.]

[ateaist]

--BWUH!!

[Or not. She bursts through the water's surface with neither grace nor poise; he might even get splashed if he's still close to the edge.]

D-did you do that on purpose!?

[burnmydread]

[ There is a moment where...yeah, he does wonder if he just drowned someone. Whoops? No bubbles, but--

--THERE SHE IS, geez. He looks a little surprised for a good couple of seconds before calming himself remarkably fast.

Just as keikaku. ]

Why would I do that?

[ He's way too cute for such nefarious plotting, right? Right. It's almost like he has cat ears and is voiced by Antonio Banderas. ]
