genessia | [Video] 96 bottles of beer on the wall

[The communication clicks on with Mirajane cleaning mugs behind the Fairy Tail bar with a rag.]

Good evening everyone! It's that time of year when it gets colder and we can't really enjoy outdoor activities as easily, but it's the perfect time for indoor activities that keep us warm! So I'd like to make an invitation to all the ladies of Genessia~! This December, on the 15th, why not stop by the Fairy Tail bath house for a little group bathing party? I always prefer having friends with me when I'm getting clean and this might be the perfect opportunity to meet people without the trappings of society getting in the way. It's a bit of a tradition where I'm from for women to bond this way, so I hope I'll at least see my guild members and friends come!

If you can't make it, or baths aren't your thing, that's fine too! You're always welcome to come get a drink at the Fairy Haven guild hall bar. We're open and I'm serving, and I can make just about any drink you can think of. That's all for now, until next time I hope you all keep warm and look forward to the charity calendar.

[And with that Mira reaches out to click her device off.]

[Private to Mavis.]

Can you meet with me alone? There's something I'd like to talk with you about privately.

(OOC: Mirajane is throwing together a bath party, and all the ladies are invited. Boys will be strictly kicked out if spotted, and any peeping toms will be dealt with harshly. If you'd like to sign up, leave a comment in the OOC post, and if you don't want peeping toms to crash the party feel free to say so and we won't have a peeping toms signup.)

SWEET! I'll be there! I didn't even get to go last time I was in Japan! Mostly 'cause I was with two guys, and it was the 1400s, and whatever, but yeah! I'll be there!

I'm glad I can count on you! I will make sure to prepare a towel for you if you need one! Can I ask you what Japan is though?

[Well, this sounds interesting. And relaxing. Maybe she should take a day off to relax in a bath after all of her Deputy Guardian and Schnee Company duties...]

A bath party for women? I've never heard of anything like that. But it certainly piques my interest...

[It's usually the men who get to have all the fun where she's from.]

Well then, you're welcome to come along! Do you know where the Fairy Haven guild hall is in Fayren? Oh, and if you need any soaps or towels I can also provide such things! Of course if you want a bathing suit because you're too shy, you might have a hard time shopping for such a thing at this time of year.

It's a country. On Earth.

It's a northern volcanic island country so bathhouses are a big deal.

...I don't think so. I've never been there before.

[Well, she brings up a good point about bathing suits.]

I don't have a bathing suit. Are you saying that people are going naked?

[That's definitely a new thing for her.]

I haven't been to a communal bathhouse in a long while. It sounds like a relaxing time. As long as it IS only women.

Oh I get it, lots of natural hot springs too right? Fiore sounds like it's not so different from Earth's Japan. So what were you doing in 1400 anyways?

Yeah!

Just went back for fun and culture! Got to wear kimonos and try sushi. Turns out Jack doesn't like fish though.

Some people do find it more difficult to bathe without being naked. That's why this event is for women only.

[Mirajane's a little bit curious as to how Karla usually bathes if she's not naked, but perhaps it's simply that she's shy around strangers which is understandable.]

Don't worry, if you're worried about being naked you can certainly wear a towel with you into the bath. That's another thing that is sometimes customary for public baths, and excellent if you're shy and don't really know the other people you're bathing with that well. Its only water after all, and the towels will dry afterwards. I'll just have to prepare an extra towel for you if you do for when you get out.

Yup! This is a girl's night only! The boys will have to throw their own bath party if they want one. I'm not the kind of girl who really does mixed bathing anyways.

Kimonos you say!? It does sound like our cultures are very similar after all!

[Mirajane twirls, transforming herself into a wearing a Kimono, just to show off. She's not as good at this sort of things as Erza since it's a transformation rather than an exquip, but it's not like she planned on wearing it that long.]

What do you think? I look pretty good in a Kimono too, don't you think?

Hehe, but it's nice to hear that sometimes you got to have adventures that weren't always life threatening, but just for fun.

I see...

[Well, bathing is usually done in private. Plus Karla may have been confusing this for a summer pool party...]

I think I would like a towel then...

Well then, shall I consider you as officially a member of the party? I don't have your name yet, but I'll still keep a pair of towels reserved for you all the same.

Oh, and I'm Mirajane!

Ohhhhh nice! Very nice! Can you wear geta too? The Doctor kept showing me how but...

[Laughs and nods!] Yeah! Most of them! We even went on dates, just me and the Doctor. Boring normal stuff~! Like getting chips. Or going to Widow Wept. Okay, that's not normal. [A laugh.]

I suppose we might as well. I'm Karla. [Beat] Deputy Guardian of Genessia City.

Not terribly graceful?

[She'd never really had any problems wearing Geta, but then again she wasn't the most normal teenager.]

I'll admit, I've never used a fryer as much as since I've met you. What's Widow Wept?

Whoa! You're a deputy guardian?

Um...yes.

[Blinks at her, confused.]

Why?

That's so cool! Our guild master is a deputy guardian too! Are you really strong? Or do you just have a strong sense of community service? Maybe a bit of both?

This sounds wonderful. I don't know many people but I would love to join you if it's alright.

Well, I'm...good with a sword, but that's about it. I don't have the "super powers" that many others seem to have, so I may seem weaker than most others...

Don't sell yourself too short. The fact that you were made a deputy means that you're still talented enough to hold the position and it shows that you care. You might not be the most powerful person in Genessia, but you're stepping up to make a difference and that's important.

Of course! It'll probably be a good way to meet new people and make friends, so you're certainly welcome. Do you know where the Fairy Haven guild hall is in Fayren?

Well, that is a good point, I suppose. It was only because of David's consideration that I was made a deputy in the first place.

[And Roman Torchwick's nomination and plot to manipulate her, but details...]
