Summer, August 8th to the 12th - The Beach Episode... in the desert!
Who: Ayame Sasaki and friends.
What: Catch-all post for the month of August, closed threads within.
When: Aug 8 - Aug 12th.
Where: Fayren, Dubai subarchway.
Ratings: None, but would adjust if necessary.
[ It all started with an idea - with Sonico and Ayame discussing ideas for the potential construction of an aquarium in Attleton as a way to draw more people to the small town. Remembering that she has access to a glimpse of her homeworld thanks to her colleague who opened it before her arrival, Ayame was willing enough to show it to Sonico so they can gather more ideas for their project. With that in mind, Ayame asks her friend Namur to guide her in Fayren's open sea to get design inspirations for the aquarium. Then after that, she contacts Camilla to see how her new arrival friend is doing, which somehow lead to Ayame inviting the Nohrian princess to come along with her and Sonico when the topic of spas and luxury came up in their conversation.
Well, that's where most of her weekend goes to. Booking an underwater suite at one of Dubai's premier hotels - The Atlantis at the Palm - Ayame would be staying at a replica of a place she once knew for the rest of the weekend. She felt guilty in using her status in this subarchway to get things for free, but this is only a replica after all so she can abuse her power and connections a little. And while she's at it, Ayame remembers another idea that she didn't get to do yet. ]

Morning - Fayren Beach - Aug 8
[ Wearing a cover-up, Ayame can be seen waiting near the docks for Namur to show. Using a ship to get to a good spot to dive in, Ayame is excited as evident in how she can't seem to sit still. Looking at the crowd and flipping her sunglasses up and down at almost every person who approaches, Ayame waves at the next person who comes along whether they are Namur or not. If she waves at someone other than Namur, then she laughs sheepishly to herself. ]
Morning - Dubai Subarchway - Aug 9 - 12
[ With the heat of summer still bearing down on each city, Dubai would likely be even worse. Going ahead to go grab a self-driving hovercraft limousine, Ayame picks up her guests from their respective places to get them to the subarchway in Nova City. Using her connections as an Archon agent in this subarchway, Ayame is allowed to get away with certain things and has access to a vast amount of wealth from her bosses. She normally wouldn't do this sort of thing, but subarchways are just replicas of the real thing, so that at least mitigate her guilt in taking advantage of her perks as an Archon. From Nova City, the ride to Dubai was smooth sailing from there. Going directly from the subarchway gate, the self-driving limousine flies above the city - a futuristic and eco-friendly city more advanced yet aesthetically not so different than it's contemporary counterpart. Flying traffic and glass buildings that tower the once tallest Burj Khalifa now stand tall in the heart of the city. It's hard to tell that this place used to be a desert with how green it is, with its sleek architecture akin to Nova City only with more luxury and a touch of ancient Emirati culture along the mix.
The vehicle hovers through the air and over the water, heading toward an artificial island that's shaped like a palm tree. Rows and rows of luxury houses lined the Palm, and on it's edge lies a grand hotel on a white sand beach where Ayame told the car's on-board AI to stop. At the entrance awaited a warm welcome, making Ayame feel like a total celebrity from how she's greeted by the friendly robotic staff. A warm towel, a spritz of cooling hand moisturizer, and a small cup of tea with flecks of gold sprinkled on top because why not. The high ceilings of the lobby already oozes with luxury. From here, Ayame and her guests can go to:
1. The Lost Chambers Aquarium with Sonico (but others can go too), where she takes her friend on a tour of the world's largest salt-water tank with over 65,000 species of aquatic life, with underwater ruins inside the aquarium likened to the legendary lost city of Atlantis. Later, they get to dive in this aquarium to hand-feed some rays and go play with sharks. Don't worry, it's all safe. (1), (2), (3), (4), (5).
2. The Poseidon Suite, where Ayame takes Camilla (and her invited siblings should they want to tag along), to the luxury three-floored suite with 24-hour butler service and soaps with 24-karat gold flakes in them just to be extra. The bedrooms are on the bottom floor with a floor-to-ceiling view of the aquarium. The hotel has a wide variety of restaurants, fast-food, and buffets; but guests can order food to be delivered to their suite. Shops and spas are also within the hotel itself for their guests' pleasure.
3. The Aquaventure Water Park, which is right next to the hotel. Water slides galore. Guests can go in line to play with dolphins in the water or sea lions on the shore, or try zip-lining.
4. The Royal Beach, right in front of the hotel itself, it's filled with soft white sands with some activities such as parasailing, banana boat rides and camelback rides.
5. Consortium Underground Base for Cassian, it's an elaborate underground base build beneath the sands of the sea, used by the Spiral Consortium as a headquarters. Security is heavy, coming in the form of androids and armored soldiers. Ayame is bringing her friend here for a suit fitting, of the power armor kind. ]
