⇨ 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.

"Answer the lady's question!" Joker laughs, now going for what Gongenzaka has already pulled out.

"But two either way is good. That way ya have somethin' else ta wear if one gets dirty, right?" Or torn, or burned, or wet, or whatever other nonsense might happen while they're in this world alone. A lot can happen, even when you're on vacation.

"MNH! We do not need so many clothes! Particularly not yukata," he emphasizes, drawing a sigh from the other.

"Well, I suppose for vacation wear you have a point..." the cat laments. As it is. He is at least considering This one.

Gongenzaka looks to Joker, a brow raised. "Just how many do you intend to be purchasing then..."

[pipers_son]

"Didn't know there was somethin' against these robes," Joker chuckles. 'Yukata' doesn't sound like too hard a word to pronounce, but he's playing it safe for now. When he's in private and it's just Ginko laughing at him, he'll give it a go.

At the look, however, he just raises his eyebrows innocently. "Well, I was thinkin' at least two myself. There are so many interestin' patterns and all, it feels like it would be a shame for just the one."

[betheman]

"MN! It is not something 'against' them..! It is simply..."

Marishi blinks. "They're just festival clothes. Not something you wear EVERY day..."

Exactly. Gongenzaka explains. "Yukata are...for an 'occasion'. It is a casual occasion, certainly, but still an 'occasion'. More than two would be...a little much."

"I suppose when we consider how often 'changes' hit, there is a point to that..."

"With you, I, the man Gongenzaka, will be surprised you only take two..."

[pipers_son]

"Oh! Well, I guess that makes sense, then." This whole atmosphere is nothing but celebration and relaxing. Thus, in that context, yukata are the perfect fit.... In more ways than one.

"Well, I'll probably get extra, even if there's no special occasions-" Joker dresses almost all the time like it's a special occasion, especially since he's gotten two arms to properly dress himself again. "-but I'll wait after a bit. I sorta have plans ta rent out a kitchen, ya see."

[betheman]

Well that sure gets their attention.

The two of them stare, Marishi from where she was pawing another fabric sheet.

"...A...a kitchen?"

[pipers_son]

Doing the cute kind of hand-pose that's more befitting some sort of idol, Joker winks.

"A kitchen~."

[betheman]

Huh.

Well. "...Dare we ask why?"
