[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!]

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. ]
