[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.]

[ 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...

[incousinswithyou]

[hello, there. And this one is sliding into the water with nothing more than a towel on.

...Oh, the heat is nice. She'll just soak it in for a moment, closing her eyes and.

...] Should your Cubchoo be in here?

[poor thing looks like she's about to faint]

[actsmagnificent]

Endurance training. She'll be out in a minute.

[ Hello yourself. Cubchoo, meanwhile, sits up as straight as she can. L-like heck she will! A lady never shows her discomf---fff--

This is a long minute. Her Trainer is looking at the human, however. ]

You look comfortable.

[incousinswithyou]

I think that's the point. [she closes her eyes and slides in right up to her neck.

And it looks like Michiru brought Waltz with her, since the combination of hot springs and grass Pokemon seems a bit too much like cooking. It doesn't look like she's getting in, but she immediately shoots Cubchoo a disdainful look. Are you really getting snot into the water?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ N-no! No she most certainly is not, whatever is that look for? Cubchoo sniffs, attempting to fix her chronic unfortunate nose situation. This steam is working against her... ] Choo!

[ Haruka slides right on in alongside Michiru, legs bumping her partner's beneath the water. This is a public hot spring so they can't - indulge, let's call it - but that doesn't mean they can't enjoy each other's company. ] Long week?

[incousinswithyou]

Kirl. [you most certainly are! How are you even out in public like this?

Have a leg bump in return, as Michiru reaches over for your hand.] Well, they're all the same length.

[...except it feels like it's about to get longer.]

[actsmagnificent]

Cubchoo! [ Oh, no, judgment. Cubchoo hates being judged, it makes her feel so self-conscious and...and...Fine, if you are so concerned, she will just take her beautiful self out of the water entirely!

...except now she feels an urge to dry her fur by shaking herself off. She has to resist. She also has to not sneeze. Cubchoo may be out of the water now, but she doesn't look much better for it.

Haruka takes Michiru's hand. Hi, have a squeeze. ] Time's always felt relative to me.

[incousinswithyou]

[have some deep, deep judging eyes, Cubchoo. Waltz doesn't even bother saying anything.]

Mm? And how was yours?

[...maybe she should sit down and give Waltz a lecture on manners. Or at least on hiding disdain.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka brightens. This week has mostly been dedicated to training thus far, and she's pleased by the results. ] She's a fighter. I've almost had to watch myse--

[ That sure was a very loud sneeze from somecub who had pointedly told herself she wasn't going to be so unsightly. And that sure was a second. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.

Cubchoo hops back in the water to cling to Haruka, putting her Trainer between herself and Waltz. Sh-she embarrassed herself! Support her! ]

[incousinswithyou]

[Michiru blinks at the sudden reappearance of Cubchoo...and then gives Waltz a sidelong glance. The Psychic type is pointedly ignoring the bear and goes to sit at the edge right next to her Trainer.]

Can't you play nice?

[Waltz 'hmphs' prettily and turns away. She was only stating the truth.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ On Haruka's end, this sigh is somewhere between fondness and exasperation. She looks down at Cubchoo not unkindly, then closes her eyes. ] Hiding means she won, y'know.

Cub. [ Cubchoo's ears droop, and she clings to Haruka's arm. But....but....Getting out is going to be hard now, too.

What would the humans do? ]

[footprints_on_your_face]

W-wha... H-Haruka? What are you doing in here?

[Oh god, it's the cute guy from the theater! Chie ducks down, even though she's wearing a swimsuit anyway and everything is covered. It's still embarrassing.]

This is the girls' side!

[actsmagnificent]

[ Hey, we meet in person! Haruka sits up, steam wreathing her body. Don't tell her - she's got it - the new Trainer - though, silly her, you're not "new" anymore... ]

Ah - Chie, right? [ What a friendly, charming smile. ] Your swimsuit's cute.

[footprints_on_your_face]

C-cute...? Th-thanks, but...

[Oh god, this is embarrassing. Is it the heat from the springs or something else painting her cheeks a rosy red?]

[actsmagnificent]

Have you been in here a while?

[ You're so flushed. Next to Haruka, Cubchoo takes a gulp of air. Not much longer! She will attain beauty, grace, and resistance by testing herself in this warm environment! ] Cub!

[footprints_on_your_face]

Um, a-a little while...

[Chie glances back toward Haruka. And hey, wait a sec. Through the steam, it almost looks like...

...nah, that can't be.]

[actsmagnificent]

Better time yourself. [ Haruka shifts in the water to get more comfortable. There's a glimpse of that whatever-it-is again. ] People who boil too long start seeing things, kitten.

[ And that's it for Cubchoo, who takes a gasp and clambers out. Heaven forbid she - she - hallucinate! ]

[footprints_on_your_face]

Hey...

[Chie blinks, rubbing her eyes before leaning forward and peering through the steam.]

W-wait, you're--!

[Oh my god.

OH MY GOD.

And now her cheeks are redder than ever.]

[actsmagnificent]

You okay?

[ Apparently clueless, here. Haruka leans forward to check up on Chie, leaving absolutely no doubt about what Chie's seeing.

Or thinks she's seeing. Who knows. ]

[footprints_on_your_face]

[Yeah, she is definitely seeing what she thought she was seeing a second ago.]

I'm, uh... a little dizzy. I think.

[actsmagnificent]

You'd better get out.

[ And here's Haruka, standing all the way up, water sloshing as she moves towards Chie to help guide the other girl out of the hot springs. Turns out she was wearing a towel. Who knew? ] I brought extra towels. You can lie down and recover there.

[kaidont]

[Fairy types might not like the heat... but who would give up a chance for a beauty soak?

Not this Floette, no sir. She will be fabulous, even if she has to brave boiling water to do it.

... she's hovering above the water for now, though. She's not sure how to keep her flower safe if she soaks. At least the steam's helping?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ ....that's a funny Pokémon to see around a hot spring. You'd think they'd go somewhere with a bit more vegetation...

Or is this the one Haruka knows? She shifts to get a better look. Yep, that's Sewaddle's friend. ] If you're looking for the bug, he's guarding the theater.

[ Cubchoo will look up, however. Oh, you - you have a flower. And are dainty. And ladylike. That doesn't make her feel inferior, n-not at all... She's only hiding behind her Trainer because she's not good with strangers! ] Cub.

[kaidont]

[Oh! It's Sewaddle's trainer. She'll give a little wave.

And no, she's here to enjoy the hot spring! Here, she'll scoop a bit of water and splash it over her face.

... and that's when she noticed Chubchoo. Aren't you even more uncomfortable than her in the heat?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Far be it from Cubchoo to admit such weakness! Though her nose may run more than usual, and a flush may show itself beneath her fur, her Trainer wanted her to practice withstanding heat! It's also good for her sinuses. And she, a fine lady (...in training, anyway), could hardly be expected to let her Trainer down!

Or so she would say if she weren't so nervous. Floette is small, however. That helps. And splashing water, which is unseemly. There is nothing to be frightened of! Her nose goes in the air. ] Cubchoo.

[ Haruka just laughs and nudges the bear. ] She's just shy. Go make friends.
