[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'm not wrong!

[mitotic]

Yeah. [ She laughs. ] Although we almost didn't.

[ She's exaggerating, but only just. It was a pretty grueling experience for a bunch of pawns. Sakura definitely has a couple of nasty bruises that are going purple and blue. But they made it out in one piece, which is what really matters.

Getting into the spring, she sits near Bolin but keeps a respectable distance between them. She nearly melts into the water with a relieved sigh. Hot water on sore muscles is magic. ]

Are the dragons a regular thing around here?

WELL no....

[sediments]

[ Bolin smiles when he sees Sakura relax in the water. He can sympathize because he's feeling the exact same thing at the moment. Though he considers himself someone that's fairly fit, the climb up the tower itself had been exhausting, carrying both Sakura and Kija, but mostly the stress of the attacking ocypetes and wanting to make sure that neither of them fell down.

And that was before they even entered.

He closes his eyes, glad that it's over. ]

Nope, this is my first time seeing them. [ Then, a frown. ] It was too bad that we had to kill them. Dragons are really special where I come from.

[mitotic]

[ Yeah, Sakura had to carry her teammates too. And one of them only had one arm to hold on with. Even though she's without her chakra here, she's deceptively strong, but having to fight things you're not used to...

Up to and including the dragons. ]

Really? They're a myth where I'm from. At least as far as I know.

[sediments]

Oh yeah? [ He opens one eye then, amused like he knows something she doesn't.

(He doesn't.)

Maybe they're real then! But they don't want to be found. Everyone in the Four Nations thought that dragons were extinct some years back, but it turns out that they just hid away from people! Since we tried to kill them all. Does that sound familiar at all?

[mitotic]

Hmm...

[ Sakura taps her finger against her lips thoughtfully, wracking her brain for all the lore she remembers hearing about them. ]

I don't remember any stories about people hunting dragons, but I suppose it's possible. I've met [ and fought... and fought with... ] some pretty fantastical creatures, but never a dragon.

[ Really, she's learned better than to assume she knows every corner of her world, or indeed any other. ]
