⇨ 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.

Lambert glares at Zangetsu as best as he can around the handkerchief he's now got pressed to his nose and Childermass's shoulder. He doesn't look particularly mollified by the promise, slouching against the magician, tail wavering slightly behind him.

"A round of drinks and you show us where you bought those," he declares, a little nasally, raising a hand to point at Zangetsu's ears (or the general vicinity thereof, anyway; his depth perception is kind of shitty right now).

[atouts]

This one is fun but also super clingy to one witcher in particular, so when Zangetsu tries to make amends, he can't help but scowl at him regardless of the offer. Luckily, Lambert is willing to deal, which means Childermass is willing to relent and immediately add, "Round of drinks, showing us where you got those, and the healing potion."

Because he knows how fast Zan can move. Making him get that on top of the rest should be child's play, as far as he's concerned.

"Who the hell just hauls off and punches like that, anyway, I swear..."

It's so rude!

Zangetsu seems pleased that he gets to hang out with the COOL BOSSES, at least in his slightly buzzed state, for such a small price. He gives a goofy little two fingered salute.

"You got it."

Then, he gestures to the town at large with a wide sweep of his arm.

"Pick a bar, any bar! We'll get drinks goin' and I'll go get that potion."

[whattaprick]

All bars here look alike, fundamentally, but Lambert is neither picky nor inclined to move far in this state, so he readily picks the closest, non-crowded looking one.

"There. That one."

He starts tottering off, tugging Childermass behind him, and it won't take long for them to grab a table with two benches to sit on. Once they're seated Lambert keeps his hand and the handkerchief to his nose, but he'll also lean against Childermass's shoulder, getting comfortably snuggly.
