you need a bloody shower [post-event mingle]

[bloodyashes]

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!

If you mean sewing and embroidery, then yes, that too. Knitting, crochet- hell I could make the whole tower a new wardrobe if I was so inclined.

[She reaches for the book.]

Which I'm not.

[She raises her eyebrows at him though, curious.]

What- you would have practiced the waltz with me?

[puppy_lancer]

More like tell some riddles. Been ages since I've played those with anybody.

[There's a good reason too. All the riddles he knows are either obscure...or dirty.]

[irreverence]

[Curiously...]

What kind of riddles?

[puppy_lancer]

Oh, just old ones. From my home. Ones that take a little bit of thinking and a lot of knowledge about things.

[irreverence]

Oh yeah?

[Now he's got her interested, and her hands drop from the book, eyes bright.]

Gimme one, we'll see how tough they are.

[puppy_lancer]

Hm...let's start off with an easy one.

[He sits on the side of the pool, dipping his feet into the water.]

Love's sights breed more sighs. When bundled and swallowed, they become joy.

[irreverence]

Hmm...

[She leans her elbows beside him, chin resting on the back of one hand.]

Format's a bit tricky, but... hmm.

[She gives him an impish sort of grin.]

Well, my first guess is a kiss.

[puppy_lancer]

Lovely answer, but...

[He shakes his head.]

Wrong.

[irreverence]

Hmm...

[She bites at her lip, tilting her head back and forth in thought.]

Well now, this really is an obscure sort of riddle, isn't it?

[She stops her head, fingers coming up to her mouth.]

...eggs. Bird eggs, right?

[puppy_lancer]

[He claps his hands.]

You got it! It's not that obscure, is it?

[irreverence]

[She shrugs her shoulders a little.]

Well, for most people on my side of the world, to be more accurate.

[She smirks up at him.]

I'm lucky, I've read a thing or two.

[puppy_lancer]

I'd figure.

[He takes a moment to think.]

Okay, another one. Bunchy is outside the door. If you touch Bunchy, it'll take a bite out of you.

[irreverence]

[She sets her cheek against her hand, pinky tapping against her lip.]

I'm lucky, I guess.

[Her eyes crinkle a bit, and she considers for a moment- this one is a bit easier though. There's less mythology involved.]

...nettles.

[puppy_lancer]

Got it again.

[He scratches his head and thinks.]

...A woman had a brooch. She hung it on the branch of an autumn tre The brooch pricked her. Where does the brooch lie now?

[irreverence]

That one was less complicated than the first one.

[But she sinks into the water a bit, finger tapping against her lip in thought.]

You know, this sounds familiar...

[She lowers her eyelids a bit, teeth closing around the end of her nail.]

Bron Trogain, wasn't it?

[puppy_lancer]

Nope, close, though. It's a place, not a time.

[A pause.]

I'll give you a hint. It's one very dear to me.

[irreverence]

Dear to you, huh?

[She frowns, irritated that she's not sure she knows.]

Ulster seems too obvious.

[puppy_lancer]

If it's in Ulster, then where do you think it should be?

[irreverence]

Well, there's Emain Macha, I guess...

[She gnaws on her fingernail idly, brow furrowing.]

Though I can't say I knew where else you might have been so attached to.

[puppy_lancer]

Yep, it was Emain Macha. Lucky guess.

[irreverence]

Lucky my finely-sculpted ass.

[She reaches out and prods at his arm none-too-gently.]

I know my shit, Cu don't you start.

[puppy_lancer]

[He snickers.]

Well, you know more than most people. Bet they wouldn't have even known where to start.

[irreverence]

Exactly.

[She holds her hand out to him, eyebrows rising slightly.]

Now. Can I have my book back please?

[puppy_lancer]

Happy to oblige.

[He reaches over, gets the book, and holds it out to her.]

[irreverence]

Thanks.

[She takes it with one hand, and braces herself with the other to push up out of the pool slightly and kiss his cheek.]

You sticking around? I figure I'll need something fun to do when I get bored of reading.
