[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!]

With rewards like this? I'd say it most definitely has its perks.

[He was completely bare as well, and had sunk himself down to chin depth in the heat. That the springs were mixed was a bit unusual to him too, as the great majority of Soul Society's weren't, but he found he rather liked it. Especially when such an attractive young lady happened to be jumping into the water with him!

He laughed a little at the trays of treats and noted the sake cup. He had his own, of course...no treats though. He'd never been too big a fan of sweets. Still, he nodded to her and held out his cup.]

Shall we make a toast, then, to the Heroes' victory?

[herplaceinthesun]

A toast to our victory, and to many more!

[It feels like she knows him, but by this point that's old hat. It's sort of comforting, adds to her feeling of relaxation. This might be one of her better trips to the hot springs, all things considered.

Taking her cup in hand, she gestures to him.]

Was it rough for ya? I got tired of all the climbing myself, but there were fun parts.

[sugegasa]

I actually quite liked the climbing! It's been so very long since I trained with hooks and rope, it brought me back a little.

And no, it was really quite good! The rest of my party were Knights, so they did the brunt of the work, I simply acted as support. But I did get to dance with a sentient monkey just about my height, so it had its pluses!

[He felt like her knew her too, somewhere vague and in the back of his memory, nudging against his consciousness and begging to be let in. But he couldn't access it, and had to sigh at that.

But there was nothing that said he couldn't get to know her, even if he didn't currently!]

To many more! And forgive me for asking, but have you been involved in many battles where you're from? You strike me as a fighter.

[herplaceinthesun]

What kind of training did ya do?

You danced with a monkey? That sounds amazing! I got to dance too...

[With a pretty girl, and she got a kiss. But she doesn't think it's right to tell that sort of thing, so Aisha just laughs.

Even though he doesn't know her yet, Shunsui's got her pegged.]

Yep! I grew up in military school and besides that, you've gotta be able to fight in the frontier. It can get rough out there.

[sugegasa]

Ahhh, I imagine so! I was a soldier, so I did a lot of martial arts and tactics training. Swords and other weapons too.

[It was far from the full truth, but it wasn't exactly a lie...]

Did you? I'd love to hear about it!

[Because the only thing better than hearing about an attractive lady dancing was to see it, and he wasn't about to ask in the hot springs. He was a gentleman, after all!]

I did indeed! His name is Wukong, and he's quite a good dancer! Great fighter, too.
