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!

Nesir was also enjoying the baths though she had never been to this floor before. Showers were strange enough for her. Hot water was not a luxury afforded to warrior acolytes, a waste of both wood and magic if the trainers were to be believed and though she had been quick to ignore that at least it still felt horribly indulgent to stand under a stream of warm water.

So a whole pool of it... She spotted Arturia and smiled, "You do be looking relaxed."

"Hot baths were a luxury I could not afford where I came from. Here, it is not such a drain on resources to indulge in them."

She did not know if she were in fact soaking in film or if it were real water she were in, but for the moment she would accept the fact it was a bath she currently sat in.

[culbutiri]

"Do be telling me about it." She grinned, entering the pool with a smile, when she spoke again her voice had changed, sounding older, lower, the words more clipped.

"Maybe one day after all the forces of darkness have been eradicated from this land trainees of this temple will have the time to stew like potatoes in boiling water but until then I think you all have more important things to do."

No one could blame Saber for her reaction to that. She gave Nesir a startled look and said a flat:

"What?"

[culbutiri]

Nesir blushed, she really wasn't the best at actually just making casual conversation or making jokes, it was a skill she had been trying to improve though really she was starting to not see the point, they'd all be dead soon anyways. Nothing really mattered, but the embarrassment did nothing to help her mood.

"It do no be mattering, it did just be something someone did once be saying." She ducked underwater for a moment, hoping that Saber would think the redness on her cheeks a result of the heat. Embarrassment was a stupid emotion, it served no purpose.

"I.... see. Forgive me. My sense of humor is not the best," Arturia said, blushing as well. If she hadn't already been chin deep in the water, she would have sunk down as low as Nesir had in embarrassment.

"Whoever said that was right though. There were likely limited resources in your homeland as there were in mine."

[culbutiri]

"Do no be worrying about it." She shrugged again and nodded, "There did be, though I do no be knowing if it do be counting as plenty if it do all be fake."

[no_longer_a_king]

"It just means we aren't wasting any resources we need." Except if she thought about it, if the Administrators powered down the nonessential floors, that might give them more time than eight months to of power left.

Unfortunately, Arturia doubted any of them would listen to her if she made the suggestion.

[culbutiri]

"That do be being true," she pushed her hair off her face where her curls had stuck to her cheek. "Except it do no be like we do be having any real resources to be saving." And saving for what? Nesir had very little confidence in their ability to survive past the administrator deadline, even in Ganondorf's plan as much as she would like to believe in him.

Arturia kept her eyes on the ceiling as Nesir mentioned that and forced herself not to tense up thinking about it. True, her worry was more on the 'what of the people trapped on their home worlds' side of the equation rather than the 'we're all going to die' equation. One way or another this was going to come to an end, but Arturia's biggest concern was ensuring those on their worlds would remain safe, regardless of what happened to those who were in the Tower.

"I somehow doubt the Administrators would take our advice on how to reallocate resources."

[culbutiri]

"I do be doubting that a lot." She nodded and shrugged, "But I do no be thinking I do be wanting to be giving them advice."

They had to fight them, even if they couldn't win, even if it was useless. Just to prove that they could, that they weren't broken yet.
