⇨ 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.

"Wonderful~" "Excellent!!" Carly is resisting the urge to do her own ushering it seems, merely beaming all the way.

"You're going to put it on after this, right?"

[chronosynthesis]

"Is there a place to change?" Syrlya glances around. The truth of the matter is that Syrlya's never worn something quite like this before, and he's probably going to need help.

[fortuneglass]

"There should be..." The store keep will probably point that out though. "Ah- do you need any instructions though? At the very least, make sure to tie the top 'left over right', otherwise you'll look like you're in funeral clothing..!"

[chronosynthesis]

"Left over right, understood." Will he remember that when he's actually trying to pull it together? Questionable.

He wraps the set over his arm as it's paid for, turning back to Carly with a slightly bemused expression. "It looks like simple robes. I am sure I can manage."

So he thinks.

[fortuneglass]

"Mmmm, for the most part..." She seems to go into thought on the matter. "...The hakama might be a bit tricky to tie, but you should be fine~! I'm sure they have someone who can help if you really need it!"

Hopefully.

Maybe.

[chronosynthesis]

He is absolutely going to struggle with this.

The shopkeeper points out some loose tents outside the stall, where presumably people who buy clothes anywhere can use to change into their recent purchases.

"Excuse me," Syrlya says to Carly with a nod, after thanking the shopkeeper and crossing the street to slip into the tent.

He pokes out after a little less than ten minutes, the kimono and hakama pulled tight, but... tied and layered very wrong. He tried, though.

[fortuneglass]

Carly does well to not laugh, all things considered. She can't help but quietly cover her mouth though, as she blinks. "Mn...Almost? Maybe I should give you instructions, or...ahhh..."

She sure isn't going to offer to help directly, he's not five.

...Okay so he IS five, but,
