⇨ 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 DID THE SAME THING SO

[fortuneglass]

Ooof. Carly stares at him a little incredulously, as the other enters rambling. "...Waste my- ...Yuusei we're on vacation, I don't think we can waste each other's time..." she mutters, blinking.

Anyway. "...You really don't know where you want to go?"

[alphudo]

He supposes that makes sense, but part of him can't quite believe it. He just doesn't know why he's so suddenly concerned about it when he wasn't before at all.

"I suppose there's no point in attempting to argue that." Which is good. He doesn't want to fight with her.

"Not really." Well, think on it for a minute then, idiot. "...I guess there is one thing I'd like to make sure I do before we leave this place, but I don't want to drag you around shopping with me. I doubt that would be much fun by any means."

[fortuneglass]

Not a point in arguing at all, nope. But, Carly is still at least humoring him- especially when he says that.

"Heh!? Drag me around!? Yuusei, wouldn't that normally be the opposite..." she laughs weakly, raising a brow. "...I...If anything, I'd be more worried about me dragging you in the end..."

[alphudo]

"This isn't 'normally', though." He sighs. He should at least try not to be such a goddamn downer. Pull yourself together, man!

"...well, if you end up dragging me somewhere, I don't think I'll mind. Maybe we can just walk around for a bit... We'll come up with something to do, and if not... Well, a stroll with you would be nice on its own."

[fortuneglass]

"Ooooogh...! I'm not the one who's broken into two, you know! I'm the same Carly as ever, so let's go, okay!"

Y a y?

[alphudo]

"I know. That's why it's not 'normally'." Come on, now, children.

He supposes as long as she kind of wants to go of her own volition, then it's fine? Either way, he sets off down the hall to exit the bathhouse.

thread endo...

[insidescoop]

Well!!

Well. Fine. At least they're going. Maybe they'll even enjoy themselves.
