.:Curfew Spa Party:.

[enkiboo]

[ You are all now in the spa.

There are a couple bottles of alcohol, some glasses, and sandwiches.

Enkidu is eating most of the sandwiches, but if you want some, they won't hurt you for sport to take some.

Have fun...?! ]

[When Dongrang isn't involved with the impromptu party games, he can be found trying to actually make use of the spa amenities. The little sitting pool is pretty nice...but it's way too steamy to wear his glasses in so he has to deal with being relatively blind for the duration of using it.

Eventually he makes his way to the second floor to do a little drinking and stargazing. It's wild that he can actually sees the stars with such clarity again. It really does feel like he's back in his hometown...]

[enkiboo]

[ Peeking after him ]

You look like you have something on your mind.

[mareum]

[Oh, a visitor. Dongrang drops his gaze to focus on Enkidu. His smile is as gentle as ever.]

Haha, do I? [He takes a sip of his beer.] I was simply enjoying the view. These might not be stars that I'm familiar with, but they're still quite beautiful.

[enkiboo]

[ Enkidu returns the smile, naturally, and nods at the question. ]

Oh, so they're comforting and good-looking even if they're very foreign.

...Does it make you feel a bit nostalgic as well?

[mareum]

Very much so. I haven't seen this many stars since I moved into the Nest with all of its light pollution. That was a few years ago.

[moonblades]

Did you remember to check in with everyone at the house?

[Mio's upstairs, too, sitting on the edge of a beach chair and taking in the bright blanket of the stars. The starlight feels so warm and caring.

Admittedly, the others on Corpse Flower might not care all that much. They're all very independent.]

[mareum]

Not...exactly. I had planned on spending the night there, but I lost track of time.

[He turns his sheepish smile back to the sky.]

There could be worse places to spend the night than this, I suppose.

[moonblades]

Me too, [Mio admits a little sheepishly.] I'll try and bring back some food as a make-up, maybe. [That's two Bibi breakfasts she'll have potentially missed, and she's staying optimistic that even if they end up trapped here, the morning won't bring the inevitable dark dawn that roils like an omen low in her stomach. Mio tilts her head back.]

I like it here - especially upstairs like this. It's usually a little bit quieter, but the space feels really... safe.

[The bath is fine, relaxing in small doses, but it's the rest of the building that holds her attention.]

[mareum]

Ahh, that's a good idea. If we do, maybe Bibi will forgive us just this once for being late to the group meal. I bet the food vendors will have some good offerings.

[Assuming nothing happens overnight and they get defiled or something... But he told Azure he wasn't going to keep thinking about that so much.

He nods in agreement about the peacefulness of the upstairs room.]

They certainly nailed the calming atmosphere, didn't they? The greenery is nice, to say nothing of the view at night. We can stargaze without exposure to the elements.

[mirrari]

[approaches ominously...]

My, my. You're actually relaxing.

[The pool is nice! Pools are always fun little treats for someone born and raised in a barren wasteland.]

Or trying to, at least.

[mareum]

[Why ominously???]

Well, that is why you brought me here, isn't it? Does it look like it's working?

[He mostly just looks like an underweight nerd in the water. But he might be relaxing, just a little. The water feels nice.]

[mirrari]

[Because Dongrang should always feel threatened by Azure's presence.]

Almost, but not quite.

[She settles into the water, leaving a respectable amount of space between them. For now.]

You don't look as tense as you've been looking, but it's hard to call this look "relaxed".

[mareum]

[Azure is as attentive as always. He chuckles as he watches her settle into the pool.]

You can hardly fault me for not completely letting my guard down. We're officially trapped in here. If this is to become a pattern, then something's going to happen again tonight.

[He is not looking forward to this song and dance again.]

[mirrari]

Fair enough, but it's not doing you any favors to think about the worst thing that could happen all the time.

[Deeply ironic, considering her past.]

Tomorrow's going to be a bad day, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to enjoy yourself tonight. It's even more reason to let loose, I think.

[mareum]

I'm not actively thinking about it, I'm simply keeping it in mind.

[There's a difference!!

He lets out a sigh and leans back. Since Azure's still right for the more part, he tips his head toward her and winks.]

For example, I don't plan on letting loose to the point of drunken stupor like last weekend.

[mirrari]

Uh huh.

[Sure, sure.

Anyways, Azure scoots a bit closer to Dongrang, a smirk crossing her face.]

Oh? So no chance of a hookup tonight?

[mareum]

[Pfft.]

I know you love a good thrill, but you'd risk getting caught?

[mirrari]

It'd add to the thrill of it, wouldn't it?

[Plus it's a spa, so theoretically there's more private rooms... But that's beside the point. Maybe she's not just kidding!! (Unless...?)]

[mareum]

[He just has this feeling that she's not kidding in the slightest, and he can't help but laugh about it.]

I think that's a bit too much thrill for me.
