you need a bloody shower [post-event mingle]

Characters: Any and all!
Setting: Floor 77, sauna
Format: Action-mingle - start your own threads!
Summary: The event is over and everyone who was stuck in the dorms needs a serious bath.
Warnings: Post-event shenanigans? Also baths so p much everyone is at least partially naked.

And so now that you've made your way free of the hell that is the dorm rooms -

This floor mimics a sauna--there are three entrances: one for men, one for women, and one for mixed. Inside each room is the wooden interior one would expect. Outside each area is a small changing room with lockers--if you look, you'll find one with your name on it. The locker will only open up for you. It might be a good place to store things, actually...

- it's time for everyone to take a bath! There's both hot, steamy stalls and large hot spring pools - but you'd better hurry! It's gonna get crowded in here kind of fast.

And hey, keep that towel closed, there's children in here!

It might be nice to be here... Maybe I could bring my whole world here. We'd have to get more dorm rooms, but things grow here.

Maybe it wouldn't fit that many very well, though.

...It would be nice, wouldn't it? I suppose we'll have to see how things turn out. But I know Yufina would be quite happy with the kitchen facilities here, even if she'd have to learn them.

Does she like to cook a lot? I'm not good at it, but I'd like to learn.

She adores cooking, which is good, because I couldn't cook anything to save my life.

[Which earns a chuckle from her.]

If she were here, she might teach you. but she's not, which is... Unfortunate.

It is unfortunate. But she could always show up.

What do you like to do? [Since she doesn't like cooking.]

Reading. I used to write in my diary of adventures I wanted to go on, but I was much younger then... what about you?

I like to people watch. Before I was here, "I" was in an apartment all the time.

[It's a weird way to say "I".]

Oh?

[She notices, but she. Won't press.]

People watching... ...a friend of mine used to do that.

You learn a lot that way, and sometimes you see things that are really happy. But now that I can just go up and talk to them, I don't have to do that so much.

...You couldn't before?

[Was she not just locked up like Cherub?]

It's complicated.

[Whatever she's thinking of it probably isn't anything like 'making up the ground of the entire city'.]

If you're comfortable talking about it, I'm here to listen. A friend of mine... Had a very hard life. It sounds like yours might have been similar.

[Ahahaha, Cherub is her biggest regret. But no, she won't push--it's just an offer for an ear.]

I'm all right with talking about it, but it really is very complicated. And we should be relaxing now after that experience.

Maybe some other time?

All right. I suppose my curiosity is getting the better of me.

[V/V is right. It's time to relax.]

It's not a bad thing! You learn more that way.

[V/V's a curious person herself.]

Indeed! I've always wanted to be a detective, so you have to be observant and curious.

[And you have to know how to keep that curiosity in check oops.]

And very smart. You seem like you'd be a good detective.

I would like to be one. However, it's considered man's work where I'm from. Women are mothers, nurses, florists--things like that.

[How annoying.]

That's silly. I don't see any reason why you can't detect.

Women... Don't have very many freedoms where I'm from. We're property, passed from father to husband. It's... Not a very nice world.

That sounds awful...

[V/V pats her on the shoulder.]

...It is. Believe me.

[In patting Kachess's shoulder, V/V might feel some scarring, actually. It's not much, most of it is contained to her back, but...]

It's one of the things this place is better at.

Maybe staying here really would be good for you, if we can fix here to be less dangerous. The people from your world sound mean.

Yes. It would be. It's why I hope it's possible. My wife and son... Deserve a better life, where we don't have to hide.

What's your son's name? How old is he?

[She's really interested in families, they're wonderful.]
