r&r&r [open mingle]

Who: Come one, come all! [open mingle]
When: July 8th, mid-afternoon
Where: Hot springs in the Myste Aura mountains
What: A much-needed restful retreat. Maybe a little fun.
Warnings/Notes: Flirting and teasing possible, with a reminder to keep things PG-13 (swimsuits on please!)


Myste Aura's mountains could be imposing to the uninitiated, but they also hid a great many wonderful secrets. One of those, Tidus had discovered, was the abundance of hot springs perfect for unwinding after a tough battle or game. Everyone had had a difficult month, so why not invite them over?

He knew none of the others had much experience in this city or its mountains, so he offered to meet the group in a central location and walk them up. It wasn't too difficult of a hike, and once they arrived they would find chilled shower stalls to each side and three springs for their use: two segregated and one co-ed.

In other words, the perfect setting for a day of rest and relaxation.

[Tidus shook his head and smiled, having to laugh a little at his own silliness.]

Nah, I'm okay. She's just having a little fun. Unlike a certain guy I know.

[He cast a look over his shoulder at Zunne, who was quite content to wait by the showers with his nose in Tidus's iMog.]

How about you? Liking it so far?

[hatejakku]

[ Finn smiled at Zunne, pleased that everyone's enjoying the place in some way. ]

I love it here. I didn't know there was anything like this. It feels incredible.

[ This is a dude who had gone 99.999% of his life using sonic-only showers. This is amazing. ]

[zanarkandian]

This is actually pretty new to me too. My old city was pretty far from anything natural, but my new team comes here all the time.

And I'll tell ya, it feels great after a rough game.

[He could doze here all day, but that's not what he's here for.]

So how've you been?

[hatejakku]

[ Finn's muscles understand how amazing of a relaxer this hot spring thing is. He's making plans to come back already. ]

Been pretty good. Found a place in Nakagawa and started doing police work out there. What about you? Haven't seen you since the whole Ka'Pandol thing.

[zanarkandian]

That's great! I hope they're treating you well.

As for me? I just moved here to be closer to the team. It's pretty quiet, practice is going good. Just wish I wasn't so far from my friends, y'know?

So I'm thinking about saving up for a boat. Going for a nice cruise once in a while.

[hatejakku]

A boat? [ And here Finn had been thinking about saving up for an airship he can't even fly. ] That sounds awesome. Did you have one back at home?

[ Also he sympathizes with the distance thing. ]

[zanarkandian]

Yeah. Lived on a boat, actually, on the outskirts of the city. I used to watch the city lights dance on the water every night.

I never actually sailed the boat, but it can't take that long to learn, right?

[hatejakku]

That sounds beautiful. [ The most water Finn's been around was here, so it's almost hard to imagine. He'd like to see it. ] I have no idea, but it can't be harder than flying an airship.

[zanarkandian]

Oh yeah, I heard about the piloting classes! You doing that?

[As much as he grew up in the machina city, he's pretty sure that's not where his aptitude lies.]

[hatejakku]

[ Finn laughs. ] No. Well, not right now anyway. I'm not too good of a pilot.

It would be really nice to learn for myself, though. [ The whole Finalizer/Jakku thing would have been less of a nightmare probably. Maybe he could pay Rey and Poe back someday. ] What about you?

[zanarkandian]

Maybe someday, but I'm trying to focus on the team first. I want to be a starting player and show everyone what I can do!

[Geez, it's like blitz is the only thing he cares about or something. Well. Almost the only thing.]

But if I ever get that boat I'm learning to sail it and starting up a cruise.

[hatejakku]

[ Finn puts his arms behind his head, leaning back against the rocks. ] You were a pro-Blitzball player back home, weren't you? I'm sure you'll be in the starting line up before you know it.

[ Then he smiles, lost in thought for a moment. ] A cruise sounds amazing. [ So restful. ]

[zanarkandian]

Thanks.

But if I get that together...I'll tell you way in advance, okay? A group cruise would be even better.

[hatejakku]

Thanks. Consider me on board.
