Bath House Party!

Who: All the ladies who've signed up (or haven't)
Where: Fairy Tail bathhouse
When: Noon December 15th
What: A bath house party before the date auction party!
Warnings: 18+ females only! There is public nudity, but please try not to do anything you wouldn't do in a public setting. Anything that gets smutty has to be taken outside Genessia. Rough housing shouldn't get more extreme than splashing, a hug (with ooc permission), or a cannon ball, will update if necessary!

Mirajane had been so busy making preparations for the date auction, the bath house, and hiding after that whole ordeal with the mask, she hadn't been seen for the last week or so. She was fond of the way she used to be before losing Lisanna, so she kept the mask as sort of a memento of those times, but she knew many people were probably a bit surprised to see that side of her. Such thoughts were for another time, she stood at the doors to the bathhouse, putting a sign up at the front of the guildhall with a series of arrows to point the ladies to the bathhouse who might not know their way around the guild.

She looked at her little list and frowned. Arelen probably wouldn't be able to make it since she was sick, and some people didn't sign up, so she wasn't sure if she had too many towels or too few... well Gwen had promised she'd be bringing some. She just hoped she'd remember to ask Erza about that Tutu for the girl since she seemed somehow genuinely interested in the silly thing. The baths were hot and prepared, large enough to accommodate a few dozen ladies, but she very much doubted there'd be quite that large a turnout. Let's see... her list was Karla, Gwen, ~~Arelen,~~ Rose, Belle, Erza, Mavis, Sarah Jane, and Eva. She'd hoped to ask Rose's Yokai friends to come, but she hadn't seen them. Oh well, best get started anyways!

Welcome to the first ever Fairy Tail bath house party! Changing rooms and lockers are in the back. Here's a towel, and if you'd like another one for going in the bath feel free to ask now! I'll be your hostess, so please feel free to relax in our large baths, and to socialize!

[There's a buzz of conversation going on now that everyone's relaxed a little and seem to be getting the hang of the bath. Some stick to the corners in a bit of social awkwardness, some are just using the bath as a large and warm pool, floating on its surface, and some like Mirajane are busily washing their hair.]

Would you mind helping me wash my back? I'll help you with yours in turn.

[Quite a bit of a tradition to wash your friends back where she comes from, but not a bad way to get socializing about any little thing. She just hope that Rose doesn't canonball right next to her.]

[Mey-Rin had read and heard about this bath house and grew curious of it. So here she was, enjoying herself before the auction date thing, with her glasses over her head this time revealing those seem-to-be deadly eye. She kept a towel in front of her for secure. She didn't quite felt bold to expose herself like some of the girls. But hey, they are free to make her open up.]

Ahh...

[She sighed happily as he rested by the side of the pool, cuddling her towel.]

This is quite refreshing.

[Let her enjoy this day more please.]

Sakuya went to the bath house because... well... It was something she was going to get out of this whole dating auction thing. Nudity didn't really bother her in a setting like this. And the water would certainly be relaxing. However, Sakuya was being her usual antisocial self, sitting in her own little corner of the bath-house and enjoying a drink or two (regardless of if any were offered or not.)

Feel free to come bother her. Being naked meant she wasn't currently armed (in theory) and so approaching her was (theoretically) safer than usual.

Of course.

[Erza would have no problem doing this sort of thing with any member of the guild - besides, she's been meaning to talk to Mira about something, and (in her mind, at least) there's no better time to do it than when they have nothing to hide.

As she washes Mira's back, Erza takes a few minutes to bask in the sounds of the guild having a full bath house again. This was one of the more relaxing experiences at home, and she's grateful that Mira decided to set this up. That gives her more of a reason to follow through with what she wanted to say.]

About the start of the month... I don't know what came over me, but I can't apologize enough for how I acted.

Even though Karla had been made aware that women would actually be bathing naked in a public bath, and she had been given a towel to bath with, this was turning out more...awkward than she had anticipated.

She simply sat in the bath, looking down, fidgeting her hands in front of her, and trying not to look at anyone else nude...

[Erza might not be a social butterfly under normal circumstances, but if there's one thing she loves at this time of year, it's a warm group bath. Admittedly, Mira had made it very clear that some of her traditions, like skinship, had to be cast aside for tonight, but she was still glad to see the guild having a bustling bath house, like it did back home.

Stretching an arm above her head, she lets out a sigh before looking around the room to see if anyone looks uncertain.]

Come on in! On a cold night, there's nothing more refreshing than a good warm soak!

[She's enthusiastic about this, to say the least. Not to mention shameless - she's got no problem being naked in a setting like this.]

Sakuya really didn't pay the other guests any mind. They really weren't worth her- wait, was that another maid?

She paused to look a moment longer. It was! Well then. Okay.

Weighing her options, she finally sighed and began making her way over to Mey-Rin, slipping down into the water next to her. First human interaction of the day, right here.

First impressions were always important, right? "... Hello." Dammit!

Intro:

[ Ayame couldn't respond at the time Mirajane had announced this gathering in the network, and when she had the chance, Ayame felt it was a little too late? She wasn't so sure what compelled her not to respond to the invitation, but she showed up anyway. She remembered the date of the event: December 15th, and her conversations with Erza about finding the time to visit their guild in Fayren. ]

Part I:

[ Ayame can be seen wearing her usual kind of attire, having gone from Genessia instead of her store here in Fayren, which is closed every Fridays. Upon appreciating the place from the outside and snapping a couple of photographs, Ayame knocks on the door before entering and politely introducing herself to the host or anybody she encounters. ]

Good evening. It's a lovely place you have in here.

Part II:

[ Whether in the changing rooms or in the baths themselves, Ayame isn't feeling shy about baring her entire body among a throng of strangers, nor does she feel shy about it. Onsen are popular in Japan, especially where she came from. Not to mention she was raised as a soldier where communal showers with other people was normal. With a modesty towel draped along her torso down to her thighs, Ayame greets the person next to her with a nod and a gentle smile ]

Hello. I hope you don't mind if I have a drink or two in here? It just seems perfect to go with the pleasant atmosphere, and the lovely company.

It was the headband, wasn't it! Maybe she forgot to take it off, who knows.

When Sakuya sat next to her and greet, Mey-rin couldn't help but dropped her glasses back in front of her to get a better close view. The glasses stayed on, and the young maid smiled happily back at the other. "Hello there! I remember you! You were in that chef competition!" Oh dear, she sounded delighted.

"I'm very good at cooking myself, but your work was inspiring!" She said as she leaned closer with excitement.

[Erza nods back, glad to see that Ayame came to this. She isn't even bothering with a towel, though that's less because of traditions back home and more due to Erza being Erza.]

You'll have to supply your own, but as long as it's one or two, I've got no problem with it. There will be drinks at the party afterwards, though.

Unfortunately for Karla, Erza has no shame when it comes to group baths (or most things, honestly), so she'll be working her way over.

"Doesn't this just feel wonderful?" Erza stretches out, far more relaxed than she usually is.

[ Ayame feels the same in seeing Erza around, feeling her mood lift just by the sight of a familiar face she's grown to recognize as a friend ]

I see, then it shouldn't be a problem.

[ Ayame replies, slowly dipping her feet into the hot water, and a heated sigh escapes her lips as the water reaches up to her thighs. She removes the towel and sets it aside before she sits into the water with a relieved smile and a flush of crimson on her cheeks ]

Join me for a sip? Think of this as appetizer for the coming party.

[ Ayame creates a rift in space, and from it descends an elaborately designed bottle of sake and two cups resting on a wooden tray. She lets the tray float on the water, letting the bottle move on it's own to pour appropriate amounts on the cups ]

Karla keeps her head down as she feels someone approaching her. Her eyes widen, and her face turns beet red. Don't look, don't look, don't look...

"I...I guess..." she stutters, watching her thumbs twiddling in front of her. "If you're accustomed to being nude in public..."

"Ah. I wasn't aware anyone was paying attention to me. Especially after I lost." Second place isn't losing, Sakuya. "It was foolish of me to choose the dish I did. Had I picked something different I certainly would have won."

Though the praise... That caught Sakuya more than a little off guard."Inspiring?" Sakuya raised an eyebrow but the tone of her voice had softened quite a bit. "Thank you. I've worked very hard to improve my cooking." A pause. "I'm mostly self-taught though. I have a great deal to learn."

Well... [On one hand, she wants to keep her wits about her just in case any peeping toms show up, but on the other hand, it would be rude to decline.] I suppose so, but just one cup.

[During the post-war celebrations, Gray finally informed her that she handles alcohol (particularly sake) rather poorly, to say the least. Sure, a few sips might not hurt, but she's definitely going to take it slowly.]

I'm certainly glad that so many people turned out to this. It reminds me a lot of back home.

"In public?" Erza chuckles, as the point flies wildly over her head. "We're in a bath house!"

"Besides, we're all women here, and it's a good bonding experience." Considering that Erza nearly burned down her guild's bath house back home while trying to help a ghost enjoy a warm bath, she takes this sort of thing very seriously.

Edited 2017-12-17 23:05 (UTC)

Okay, maybe not that public. But still...

"All right, allow me to correct my statement. If you're accustomed to being nude in front of others, I mean..."

The feeling is mutual and familiar. I used to do this with my comrades long ago.

[ Ayame relates, giving Erza her cup of sake ]

My sister, especially. She and I often visit hot springs for a drink or two of the same type of alcohol that we're sipping.

"Hm..." Erza has to pause to think about that - it's not something she's really had a problem with. "I suppose I could see that being an issue, at least if it was a mixed-gender bath." Lucy's complained about that sort of thing a few times.

"So...it's common for women to bathe together like this?"

The mention of a mixed-gender bath makes her shudder even more. She folds her arms around herself, as if she were cold.

"Where I'm from, certainly. The dorm that I live in has an entire room for that purpose, as does my guild."

Admittedly, a lot of her world runs on fanservice logic, but she certainly doesn't find the idea unusual. "There are also open-air hot springs, which have their advantages. They might not work as well on days like this, but they're still very refreshing."

After the long week at work and all the shopping and dealing and everything, the bath party was something she was honestly looking forward to. New experience aside, the thought of a relaxing bath and good conversation had been at the forefront of her mind all day. So much so that she simply picked up a familiar bathrobe (really fashions in the modern times did not suit her tastes) from the store and headed straight over.

She'd brought fresh clothes for afterward as she still had a certain fluffed haired man to take to the auction, but aside the bathrobe there was going to be nothing between her and the lovely water.

Which felt absolutely amazing as she slipped in, letting the steam and opaque water cover her up to the neck. She leans back and just enjoys it, but of course she is aware enough for anyone coming over.

[Erza accepts the cup, looking at her reflection in the drink as she reminisces.] Ah, yes. Hot springs are rarer where I come from, but finding one is always a treat. Some of my friends are lucky - their guild has one nearby. [It was especially soothing after a volleyball game that had turned quite destructive, as both Erza and her friendly rival had trouble with holding back their strength.]

[She turns to Ayame, interested in hearing more.] So, your sister - what's she like?
