⇨ SHABONDAMASHII

[ringleaders]

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 92 - Day 99
Where: Shabondamashii Bathhouse
What: With the Silver Mirror claimed and the animals of Eden relocated, it's time for the carnival to kick back and enjoy an interdimensional bathhouse and the surrounding festival city. Meanwhile, the scattered shards of the Mirror have an unexpected effect.
Warnings: Dark/Light halves acting weird.

THE BIG CLEANSE↴ As the carnival recovers, the Ringmaster has brought it to the gates of a famous interdimensional bathhouse to rest. She won't be joining you for most of it, though she will be checking in frequently and available by radio. She's fixed a large portion of the Silver Mirror after it shattered, but it seems like pieces are missing. She doesn't want to rest until the missing shards are dealt with, and the Mirror itself is locked away safely. ► YOUR OTHER HALF: The shards missing from the Silver Mirror didn't just disappear - after breaking apart in Eden, fragments of the object embedded themselves in the spirits of those not already touched by its powers, and those that had been the most fae-touched. That means, your characters. The effect of this, explained in more detail on the plotting post, is that some characters will be splitting into two versions of themselves: the Light, and the Dark. This doesn't mean good and evil, of course, it's far more complicated than that. Splits can start happening at any time after arriving in Shabon, and initially characters won't know how to rejoin with their twins. Later on, it will become apparent that they need to reconnect via the shard of the Mirror they share... of course, in order to rejoin, you have to have both halves, and not all twins will be as eager to go back to the way things were before. This plot point is optional. ► SPA DAY: When you're not engaging in metaphysical division, you are free to enjoy the many luxuries that Shabon offers. Things will mostly have an east-Asian bend, like what you would see in the movie Spirited Away, but as long as it doesn't affect the setting much, you can honestly have whatever spa-type services available that you want. Food is served both in restaurants and 'buffet' style. There are also well paid sex workers here, if that is your thing, but make sure to tip well. ► FESTIVAL TOWN: The city surrounding Shabondamashii is largely meant to catch the business of interdimensional tourists. There are frequent parades and other events held, and the architecture is very closely packed. It's easy to get lost if you leave the bathhouse, but it's definitely worth it if you like party. You can pick out a few outfits for yourself and some fun nick nacks, but nothing that would normally require mod approval.

"I'll find something," Strange explains with a small shrug. This place is huge. There must be some sort of open area where people wouldn't mind if he radically changed the topography a bit.

"And until then, I'll simply avoid spells with dangerous components."

[soft_focus]

Something...yes. Well.

Reira nods, and sighs. "Umn...good luck then, Strange-oji..."

"We shall practice the Wind, then..."

Even Reira realizes that sounds weird, so she nods. "Um! Yeah! We're getting better at that- if I focus, and close my eyes, I can feel what all the air is doing around me I think. Like if it's wet, or really dry..." Anyway that's not what you're doing so she's pretty sure it doesn't matter. "...I hope you find something to practice with soon though. ...It'll probably be better to practice before we leave here..."

[kingsroads]

"I'm certain I'll find something," Strange muses. After all, there's plenty of things here that he can work with. What it is...Strange isn't sure.

"If you ever want any help with your wind then just say the word." He's not exactly sure how he can help, but it's Reira and Strange is arrogant as hell. He'll find a way.

[soft_focus]

He'll find it. Probably the same way he'll find a way to help.

Which, on that note, she's not about to turn down- with a nod Reira decides to take him up on that immediately. "Um-! If you have new advice, we can try that at least."

If he doesn't then hey, nothing lost and nothing wasted.

[kingsroads]

He's certain he has some new advice. However, it's been a while since he and Reira talked about her odd quest to become wind. Might as well catch up first.

"You've done a good job feeling and getting in touch with the wind. What about controlling it? After all, if you make yourself wind, then you'll have to find a way to get around."

[soft_focus]

"Controlling it?" Hmm. She crosses her arms- an odd sight indeed- and considers it. "...I guess that makes sense...I can tell where it's going and what it's doing, but it's probably a good idea to make it move my wind..." Which was, after all, what Strange said.

So Reira nods. "Ok..! That's what I'll try to do when I practice then! Put control in it!"

The thought is there, even if the words are not. "Thank-you!"

[kingsroads]

Well she's at least getting the general gist of what he's saying? Put control in it, control it better, same difference.

Strange gives Reira a little smile as she nods at him. "You're welcome. And again, simply seek me out of you ever wish to have more practice."

[soft_focus]

It's fine, she'll be fine,

The girl beams, and after a look to her daemon, the two make to leave. "Mnh! Yeah. ...Good luck with your practice too, ok?"

And with that being all, she'll be off to find some place to practice.
