WHERE: the hot springs and nyx
WHAT: it's a girl's night
NOTES\WARNINGS: most likely nudity since they are in the hot springs and probably nsfw chatter who knows not me, just make sure the subject lines are properly tagged if something needs content warning tagging.

also, since it's a mingle, just add on the subject lines or somewhere visible whether you are cool with threadjacks or not!


(In the morning, the girlies of Etraya get this text:)

girls. women. dearests.

girls day is in order. i am bringing a fairly large and absolutely not basic selection of my self-care products to the hot springs, both from home and from here.

after that i am swinging by some places to get food and booze and bringing it to nyx for a movie's day. there are mattresses from the parties, anyone who wants to stay overnight is free to.

bring your best romcoms. if you bring a boy or guy or whatever i will personally become their biggest nightmare and eternal problem so lets avoid that.

all my love,

sophie frost cuckoo.

[WRITE YOUR PROMPT HERE UNDER THIS COMMENT] HOT SPRINGS

[sophielicious]

Here is what will be available for doing at the hot springs:

💞 A full spa day. Sophie was not joking, she's brought her a good 10% of her entire bathroom and vanity here, and it looks like it's 100%, so it's a lot. Only the best.
💞 There are nail polish choices, manicure and pedicure kits, lotions, the nicest towels, a gazillion threads robes, body scrubs, face masks, hair care, bath salts, oils, all that there is.
💞 She might or might not be extra (she is extra), so there's even one of those projectors for ambient lighting.
💞 And music. It's old jazz. Sorry not sorry.

cassandra cain (cw: nudity)

[corpuslingua]

[Were they supposed to bring swimsuits for the springs? No one told Cass. Not that she's bothered at all by walking completely nude past anyone who might be around.

She's covered in a lot of scars. Some long, some short. Some jagged-edged. Some round and concerningly large. Still she doesn't seem to mind if anyone stops and stares before she slides under the water.

Later she can be found looking at all the nail polishes unable to find a basic black. She could use some help picking another color.]

[welcome_summer]

[Mayuko's eyes open slightly as Cass enters the pool. She picked a spring that is closer to hot than warm, with mineral salts already in the water. She might switch to a frillier one or cooler one later, but this one is relaxing enough for now.]

Welcome in--this your first time in the cave?

[corpuslingua]

[Cass sinks into the water and finds a spot to sit before answering.]

First time like this.

[With others. Getting in the water to relax. She's been there times before exploring the land to learn where there might be trouble.]

[welcome_summer]

[The cave is very interesting. No creatures inside, but the tunnels beyond the innumerable springs twine endlessly into the mountain. It's kind enough to teleport the explorer back to the entrance after time has passed.

Mayuko nods.]

It's a custom, where I'm from. There's usually much fewer pools than this, but the idea is the same.

[Once Cass has settled comfortably, she tucks some strands of hair back into her rough updo before leaning back.]

maya fey, threadjackable

[feytality]

[ maya takes good care of herself and her hair, but she also grew up extremely poor and hasn't been out of the village much. so all of this is a little overwhelming for her.... and it shows. she's looking between nail polishes, lotions, body scrubs, face masks, and you with a bit of a helpless, lost look ]

U-Um....

[ help a girl out? ]

[sophielicious]

Oh, my God, girl, why do you look like I'm putting you up for the trolley problem?

(Maya to Sophie looks like this right now: 🧍)

I'm gonna put my hands on your face for a second. Is that okay?

[feytality]

[ :maya_standing: ]

I've.... never been to a girl's night before... I've just seen them on TV...

[ she admits, but nods ]

Yeah.

[ go for it sophie ]

[sophielicious]

Okay. Let me see.

(Perfectly manicured little fingers on lotion-soft hands reach, feeling hair, feeling skin, moving her face this way, that way, up, down.

We can work with this. She sits comfortably, cracking her neck, and shaking her hands before they go to Maya's knees. This is SOME SERIOUS SHIT, MAYA.)

Well. You are in one now, so focus up. It's your girl's day, fuck the TV. What do you wanna do? I have suggestions, but I wanna know what was your big girlie dream.

[feytality]

[ this is. serious business.... she stands shock-still while sophie does her examination, as if moving will screw something up.... but then perks up!! ]

All of it! The spa day, the makeover, the nails.... the gossip, the romcoms... everything!

[welcome_summer]

[Oh no, how charming. But at least some possible first steps are actionable and straightforward. According to the person responsible for the hot springs showing up.]

Well, if you want to soak in the water, you have to wash and rinse off first.

[Mayuko points to the pools.]

You have to bring a pail of the right-temperature-water-for-you to a changing booth, they double as the wash stations. Out of these items, a body scrub would be best first.

OR you know, if something else calls to you... [She shrugs at Sophie.] we'll figure it out?

[feytality]

I usually meditate under waterfalls, not so much hot springs.

[ but there is presumably one in the mountains where she comes from so this is the single thing she's actually familiar with ]

There's so many, though, which one should I pick.... hmm... this one smells like apricots...

[ she's rifling through the different scrubs now ]

[welcome_summer]

No shame in that, that takes some real discipline.

[She picks up a few herself, eyeing the ingredients. All quality, of course! Gotta know what you're applying to yourself.]

Fruity ones are popular! I'd ask, do you want to be more relaxed or energized for the day ahead?

[feytality]

Hehe....

[ a little flattered she's being told she has discipline ]

More relaxed! I'm always energized, I don't need help with that.

Shiraki Mayuko

[welcome_summer]

[If Mayuko had known Sophie would bring so much product, she'd have hauled tables in. Perhaps there is enough natural shelving to accommodate the selections....

But she's not here to micromanage, she's here for the waters. A nice hot mineral water soak, followed by a dip in a slightly cooler, fragrant pool, is a good start.

On the spa end of things, you might also catch her berobed working a milk and honey mix into her hair. There's a set of face masks by her side. Given she has to perch over steaming water for A While, and then lay back for Another While for the mixture to do its magic, might as well multitask, right? She's happy to help you apply some treatments as well!]

[WRITE YOUR PROMPT HERE UNDER THIS COMMENT] NYX

[sophielicious]

Here is what will be available for doing at NYX:

💞 All the mattresses are downstairs. The tv is downstairs, the videogame is downstairs, the arcade is downstairs. You can take the mattress to a room, but eh, all the sleeping stuff is just out on main anyway.
💞 The selection of movies is up to you, she is just not letting go of The Notebook. Other than that, floor is yours.
💞 Alcohol selection is plenty. She also did a round on all the junk food places that she knows and voilá. Fast food until Halloween.

It's dangerous to go alone, take these.

[sophielicious]

1. if you're a bird, i'm a bird.

(She's definitely not pouting, you are imagining things. Her eyes are not kinda watering, and she's not frowning her brows, none of this is happening.

She was totally not sad and she's totally not moved and she's totally not yapping for misdirection purposes and she did not sniff!!!)

Okay, so, hear me out. Wanna know a super insane drinking game? Drink every time you see water. Not that we are doing it! I don't want to take anyone to the hospital.

... But I think at this point? Kinda overkill.

2. most likely to

(Okay, all categories are written, all slips are secret, they are being shaken around in a jar, this is a voting game, so let's see who The People will point as...)

Most likely to be killed first if they were in a horror movie? Huh. Out of the entire planet or just us?

general gossip tl, absolutely threadjackable

[feytality]

Soooo......

[ maya clears her throat to get people's attention with a little mischevious grin ]

Who's got the latest updates on gossip and dating?

[sophielicious]

Why do you wanna know? Looking for intel?

( :)))) )

[feytality]

Definitely!!

[ so shameless ]

And I'll share what I know, of course. Plus, I'm trying to set up my friend with someone and I wanna know who's single...

[sophielicious]

Okay, but like, single and worth not being single for are two completely different things.

Who.

Why.

And how, that's also so important.

[feytality]

No, he's a good guy! His name is Junpei. He's a teenager, maybe... 17? I think he's only into girls, but he's kinda down on himself.... he doesn't do the whole "man pride" thing, though, he's pretty sweet. And he has a dog!

[ clearly the best part of junpei ]

I don't think there are many teen girls around, though, to set him up with.

[sophielicious]

... Aren't you, like, young, too? Why not you? Be the change you wanna see.

[feytality]

Oh, he's definitely not into me like that. We're just friends.

[ junpei, who flirts with maya every chance he gets. she is just oblivious ]

[sophielicious]

I'm gonna say this with all the love in the world, do not take it poorly.

I don't think you'd notice shit, you're very...

Anyway.

Okay, well. What do you feel?
