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.

[ As soon as Tidus said the bubbles weren't from monsters, Hunk already started delicately lowering himself into the hot spring. ] See, the weird magic person I knew back home couldn't throw fireballs or lightning bolts.

[ Other, scarier people could, but... ignoring that. ] She healed a planet once, but I guess that's not black magic. [ Hunk laughs awkwardly, before sliding the rest of the way in. And wincing. It's hot!! ]

Could you even pick up black magic back home, or is it one of those weird chosen one things? [ Magic seems like it's picky. ]

[zanarkandian]

Anyone can learn it, some people are just naturally better at it than others. Kinda like here, I guess, except we had to choose the asterisks.

[He's leaning back and closing his eyes now, letting that heat sink in.]

But magic's one of those things that's different everywhere, right? The element chart isn't the same, it's just. Maybe I should've signed up for what you did. How's it going?

[ Hunk starts fidgeting a bit. He wasn't aware of just how hot the spring was until he was in it. It's in the name, dude. ]

I've been doin' pretty well! [ He ignores the whole "Bit Into Leviathan" thing and the fact that there's a serial killer hunt and, well, everything else. And then he just sinks into the water a bit more. He needed this months ago. ]

Magitek Knight is pretty cool, but the armor's heavy. I needed floaties to swim with it. [ And then he pouts. Whatever asterisks you've got, Tidus, they seem like they're working out just fine. ]

We didn't even really have magic in my world. [ Ignoring his friend with weird life magic and the evil space witch. Not exactly normal occurrences. ] But there was a planet of people who could interact with trees like they were computers, that was cool!

[zanarkandian]

I can believe that. The trees in this one spot had pretty powerful magic. They're ancient, if they knew stuff they'd know everything.

[He grins.]

Yeah, I couldn't do heavy armor. Running up the walls is awesome.
