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

[tagteams]

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.]

Kirl lia [of course. Besides, who doesn't like the smell of damp, musty bear wearing a damp, musty scarf?]

Could you? [reprimanding Waltz in front of Cubchoo will definitely not help them get along. Otherwise, Michiru is going to have to get out of the water and that's hardly an attractive option.]

[flying_chains]

"I see...And you wish to be one of them?"

[willbethebest]

We'll have to be very sneaky. My master was very clear about not going over there.

[footprints_on_your_face]

Right! I wanted to do something to help the city and protect people, so I thought that would be a good way.

[ She jumps. Just a little- but then catches herself so as to not splash the book. She doesn't realize how soaked it gets from just the steam. But she turns and -] This water ain't deep.

[ ...

Then she realizes that turned so she's not facing the rock she's exposed. Not that she has much going on in her opinion, but naked is naked and that's weird - she flushes a little and ducks down a bit so as to cover more ]

[incousinswithyou]

[since this is the girls' side...naked is certainly naked. Michiru's muscles aren't as prominent as yours, but she's got all the right curves.

That action gets a small laugh out of her.] We're all girls here, right? Nothing we haven't seen before. [Michiru, you're a lesbian.

Nonetheless, she turns to sit, her back against the edge, and closes her eyes, sliding in up to her shoulders. Heck, she's the very epitome of relaxation.] This is hardly the venue for swimming anyway.

[indy_wannabe]

Your master sounds like a chump.

[willbethebest]

He's...a bit stuffy.

[bejustorbedead]

"If he has the right temperament," Ky remarked noncommittally, not having the heart to correct Asch on his assumptions at the moment. He gives the younger man a slight look as he sticks his feet in, but makes no comment on it.

"Well, fights happen - the problem was the when." He closed his eyes. "I believe it would be for the best you two patrol separately for the time being."

[celebrity_commentator]

You're welcome!

[It should surprise no one that Rise is already partaking of the numerous health benefits of the hot springs, considering she helped discover them. It might surprise some that she's going for full modesty by wearing a towel in the water, but only if they haven't been paying much attention.]

[celebrity_commentator]

[While her trainer relaxes nearby, Toyo the Chansey is happily 'Chans'ing to herself near Ran.]

[She appears to have fashioned some kind of rope net and is using it to dip one of her eggs into the hot spring water, for some reason.]

[tm50]

.... [He should have seen her question coming but.. she asked rather innocently it throws Bertholdt off.] I.. don't like people knowing.. what forum I take.

[Will answering truthfully come back to bite him? He's not sure..]

[albertstyle]

"My mother might end up heartbroken over it.." petting Beast still, serious look on his sour face, "-But it'll be the only way I improve, Luke too.. He need actual friends other then his family and me." Asch? He doesn't need friends -- teammates neither -- but once he's a Judge like his dad you don't need friends.

[90sbangs]

What?! No! I'm not-! [Ugh, Chester... Cress knows they shouldn't, they really shouldn't, it's wrong and not worth it but--]

Fine.. but only a peck! If we see nothing we come right back...

[footprints_on_your_face]

This is the place you and those other guys found, right? I'm definitely gonna come back here a lot.

[bleeding_heart]

I don't see why. You're very cute as a Cyndaquil.

[ordnungsliebe]

[She sighs, idly pushing some hair from her shoulder as she glances toward him.]

Maybe I just have a hard time relaxing.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka nods imperceptibly before twisting her head to look up at the bear. ] Sky, could you go see if there's a stand selling drinks anywhere? The money's in my slacks.

Cub! [ Why, look! Someone is being proven wrong already! She is trusted with an important duty; that must mean she is a worthwhile and incredible bear!

Flushed with delight at being thus relied upon by her Trainer, Cubchoo scuttles off. Haruka calls after her. ] Treat yourself, too.

Cub choo! [ Turning and curtsying at that before nearly tripping over her own paws as she goes to explore. She's going to be useful! She's going to be useful!

.....Haruka just laughs. At some point somebody should probably tell Cubchoo that ladies never run. ]

[actsmagnificent]

That'll pay off. [ Cubchoo wanders over to cling to Haruka again, but this time with a very pleased look on her face. Did you see? Did you see? She was called cute! Hey, did you see?

...yes, Cubchoo, she saw. The bear gets another headpat, then Haruka turns back to Chie. ] Are you feeling any better?

[incousinswithyou]

[Waltz sniffs as the bear runs off. Whatever, Cubchoo. That's just a stupid errand.

She shrinks a little, however, when her Trainer's eyes turn towards her.]

Waltz. [despite the casualness in Michiru's tone, the Pokemon stiffens, sitting at attention.] If you can't control yourself, perhaps you'd be more comfortable at home.

[after a long moment, Waltz breaks eye contact first and is suddenly a lot more subdued than usual.

Satisfied, Michiru goes back to leaning against Haruka's shoulder.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ It's a good thing they're in a hot spring, because even though that wasn't directed at her, Haruka feels a little chill. What an amazing woman, Michiru Kaioh. A force to be reckoned with.

A force that somehow, improbably, enjoys being with her. She wraps an arm around Michiru - water dripping aesthetically from her arm as she lifts it - and casually cuddles the other woman. ] Aren't vacations relaxing?

[incousinswithyou]

[mm. Must be your charm. Or your good looks.

She chuckles, shifting against you.]

Well, they're certainly not boring. [never when you're around, anyway]

[actsmagnificent]

Not getting too hot for you yet?

[ What with all this body heat too, and everything. She has to be considerate. ]

[incousinswithyou]

If you have to get out, I understand. [despite her words, Michiru has not moved an inch.]

[actsmagnificent]

And leave the bear wondering where I went? Heartless.

[ Neither has Haruka. ]
