[open log] is it still me that makes you sweat?

Who: Everyone!
What: Brave New World had it's beach episode. It's time for the first hot springs episode in this game to celebrate it's discovery!
Where: Scorched Forest - Hot Springs
When: Week 18 Weekend | Early Afternoon to the Evening
Warnings: Potential nudity and fights if someone get caught peeping. Let's try to keep it PG-13 in here.


[With the recent discovery of the hot springs, a group of citizens in Union decided to come together to set up an open event for everyone in the city who wishes to not only to check out and explore the springs, but to relax from the everyday life in Union. It is open to the general public so everyone is welcome!

The party area is obviously set up with decorations and other party requirements plus mostly cleared of any wild Pokémon. However, wild Pokémon are still wandering around so expect a Slakoth to swim with you or an Aipom steal food while you are not paying attention. There are cloth walls set up for more private areas and tents are available for changing into bathing suits, towels, or just go naked. It's recommended that you do wear something, but nobody is going to stop you if you go commando.

It's certainly warm to hot in this area for obvious reasons, but it shouldn't be too uncomfortable unless you have a Fire weakness. No matter where you are, the springs are giving off a relaxing air. So please, enjoy yourselves.]

Comments

general spring area/mingling

[tagteams]

[One of the largest springs in the area which is used is open for everyone. Food and refreshments of various kinds are also available nearby along with towels. You get the deal.]

[hidamari]

[Wearing an one piece swimsuit that covers a lot and a towel wrapping her hair up, Alice is sitting on the edge of the large spring, eating a plate of food while watching everyone relax and enjoy themselves. Even she already had one giant misadventure with heat, this is much more like it.

Galahad the Cyndaquil is in her lap, eating food with her while Hoshi and Lance swim around in the spring near her.]

[sunbath]

[Sadly, there is someone here who isn't going remotely near the water, nor even dressed for such an occasion.

Itsuki's off to the side of the general area, steering clear of the water's edge. She came here earlier in the week, rather excited about discovering something new and even found a new friend in a Growlithe too, but this was about relaxing. And more than that, this was about changing clothes and picking gender-separated springs, something that she honestly did not feel comfortable one bit.

So for now she's going to stay here, and hopefully just watch over things and make sure any wandering or wild Pokemon don't get into too much trouble. Her companions though, a Shinx and a Growlithe, seem to eager to play around, chasing each other in every direction and leaping (or crashing) into other patrons.]

[incousinswithyou]

[assuming that she isn't distracted by anything or anybody else, she'll be here, wearing nothing but a towel. It's less crowded on this side, for one thing.

Her Kirlia is sitting on the edge and dipping her feet in the water. She seems to be happy enough to be spending time with her Trainer, without any of the other Pokemon for once, but she'll still shoot suspicious glares at anybody coming near.]

[second_destiny]

[Asemu has changed into his bathing suit and hopped into the closest pool available to him. After that ordeal in the volcano, he really, really needed a break, and he was dead set on taking it.]

[ordnungsliebe]

[Ingrid has not gone near the water once. Instead, she has been lingering around the outskirts of the mixed-gender spring, her serious demeanor mismatched with both the general atmosphere and her bright pink bathing suit. Occasionally, she stonily picks at some of the refreshments, which is about as close as she comes to enjoying herself.]

[...Considering the Machop relaxing in the water belongs to her, it's probably safe to say her motivations for showing up were not entirely self-driven.]

girls only springs

[tagteams]

[Ladies need their private time after all. It's unguarded so any peepers can try to get a sneak peek at bare bodies. If you get caught, nobody is going to really help you because it's your choice to be a pervert.]

[faithful_kitsune]

[There's a Vulpix in the springs! whatever happened to water weakness Nah, it's just Ran, in humanish form, letting the springs wash off the tension of the day. Isn't that nice?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Uh-oh. There is a boy relaxing in the girls' hot springs.

That's what it looks like, anyway, unless you peer really closely through the steam. The Cubchoo next to "him" is female, however, and looks a bit dizzy from the heat. The path to beauty and relaxation is an onerous one. ] Choo...

[footprints_on_your_face]

[Chie's been hitting the training pretty hard lately, and her feet are killing her. So naturally, the news of a natural hot spring out in the forest is like music to her ears. And even though it looks like it's just girls on this side, she's still a little shy about disrobing entirely around strangers, so she's just got her swimsuit on today as she enjoys a nice relaxing soak.]

Ohhhhhhhh wow... this is the best...

[Letting out a slow, deep breath, Chie stretches her arms and legs out as she relaxes against the side of the spring.]

[moemoetentacles]

[dun nuh

dun nuh

DUN NUH

DUN NUH DUH NUH DUH NUH DUNUNUNUNUNUNUNUN... DOODLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yes, Squid Girl is in the hot springs, lurking just below the water and looking to cause some mischief. She might simply spring up in front of you as you're trying to relax, or you might feel a slippery tentacle winding its way around your ankle. Either way, it seems this one never learns.]

[flying_chains]

Morgiana had NEVER been allowed in a place like this. After wincing from the heat, she self consciously slid into the water until everything below her nose was submerged. After a minute, she started to relax (it was hard not to.). She was careful to keep her back against a rock as much as she could, as the crisscrossing mess of scars back there was not something she wanted to advertise.

[tagteams]

[Quinn is the type of person that only serves society, not so much mingling with it. Taking a break to relax is always nice.

Not much of a person to start conversations, but she won't complain over company. Her body is submerged into the warm waters up to her chest (wearing a pretty sweet chest wrap because ya know, wing arms.) and bathing suit bottoms. Valor is sleeping in her hair, so the boy bird isn't going to be trouble.(He will peck peeper's eyes out though.)

There is also a Kabuto swimming around next to her, ain't that cute.]

[makeitquick]

[ Melaka has never been to somewhere like this before. But... she is enjoying it, actually. She came here with other people when it became clear there was some sort of joint group going here. She's not the most social, though - she's leaned up against a far edge, reading a book. she's been trying to read more, which is in deep contradiction (on the surface) to the fact that her currently naked body is very, very muscular and dotted with a whole ton of little scars.

Sneak is floating around here too, actually. So if you want to run into a 2spooky Phantump who can't even really effectively soak, she's there too ]

[notepad_necromancer]

[In spite of her still healing leg, Eucliwood was at least curious about these new hot springs. It was worth a look at least.

Which led to her testing the water. Quite literally. While her clothing was folded and put neatly off to the side, she's still clad in her armor.]

PERVERTS

[aniiue]

[With Cress in tow, Chester sneaks away from the boy's hot springs over to the girls's side, peeking through the first slat in the boards he sees and grinning.]

Just have to wait for the steam to clear a little... Come on already...

boys only springs

[tagteams]

[So do boys and private time. Same rules applies, but girls can try to peek as it's unguarded. Nobody is stopping you from being a pervert.]

Re: boys only springs

[willbethebest]

More than anything he has seen since coming to Union, these remind Wukong of home, where there was a similar set of springs. All the shifters flocked to them and fought over them during the winter (Though rarely very hard. It was more for the sport of it.)

Also reminding him of home were some of the pokemon in the area. Wukong is currently in monferno form, looking less human than normal, as he hangs out with a bunch of mankeys, the lot of them picking through eachother's fur for all the little nasty things that can get stuck in there when you live in the jungle or forest.

[indy_wannabe]

The hot spring was pretty nice, Ezreal was leaning back and relaxing. Plenty of time for mischief after a good soak.

Re: boys only springs

[notthatjason]

Hot Springs are supposed to be relaxing, at least that was what Jason always thought. Leave it to his pokemon to have other ideas.

"SQUIRTLE!"

There's a cry and a huge SPLASH as Percy the Squirtle comes running out of seemingly nowhere and cannonballs into the hot spring. The little turtle apparently has no qualms with doing this in the hot water nor does he care if he splashed any one in the process. A few minutes later he comes floating back up to the surface, his shell breeching the water first, before floating past.

"Squirt~" Oh yeah, this is the life for a Squirtle.

Jason, meanwhile, isn't quite as rambunctious. He approaches the hot spring looking exasperated at the trouble his newly acquired partner has likely caused. A Castform floats at his side, weaving back and forth with content at the heat. Isn't this nice, Jason? She seems to be saying.

Apologies to any guy that just got soaked by a cannonball Squirtle.

Re: boys only springs

[globalawareness]

[Bathing suits? Screw that crap. Sanageyama is hanging out in the buff. It's better to feel the water against your skin unimpeded, or so he feels.

He's using this as a chance to relax. Proper rest and relaxation can go a long way toward enhancing one's training.]

Re: boys only springs

[bejustorbedead]

Well - that's another thing Ky would consider a downside of his evolution - having to gather his hair up in a towel to keep from getting it weighed down.

He's careful to pick a small little pool that's just to the side of the main springs, as that he has full confidence in his self-control, he's just not taking any chances in accidentally shocking someone if he gets startled. If he's not careful, he is going to get used to having time off.

[90sbangs]

Oh man, this is great! [Sighing as Cress slipped into the water, arms over the rocks behind him and letting his body drift away.

His Pokemon seem to be enjoying themselves too. Though Flamberge can't really enjoy the water, she can enjoy the heat! His Honedge doesn't seem to care about getting wet and slips right into the warmth, closing his one eye -- relaxed.

Like master, like sword.. AND NO! He's not interested in spying of any sort today, please don't ask, Chester.]

[fistfullofmagic]

[There are few water types that would find a hot spring unappealing, be they Pokemon or Enlightened. Dhaos is no exception to this rule. If he could breathe underwater he would probably be spending his time at the bottom of the spring until he either got hungry or started to overheat. As it is, only the upper three quarters of his head aren't submerged and he appears rather content with this.

...His hair is sort of floating everywhere though, so getting too close might be slightly hazardous.]

exploring the forest/springs

[tagteams]

[Bored of relaxing? Just roaming around the springs and forest is possible, but not recommended if you are new to the area or the area starting to grow dark.]

[bleeding_heart]

[Merrill has elected not to soak in the springs, at least for now. Even out here, there are still a few too many people all in one place for her to feel completely at ease in a place like that. Instead, she can be found lingering just outside the entrance to the springs, accompanied by a Nincada, a Murkrow, a Phantump, and a Mawile. She might head in later at night when the crowd has thinned, but for the moment she's just playing with her Pokemon and greeting passersby with a polite little smile.]

Oh... hello.
