closed | a day of relaxation for everyone's souls

[elevelvetor]

WHO: Persona peeps + Elliot
WHERE: An exceptionally nice bathhouse-spa-restaurant, reserved for a day
WHEN: March 17th, 12PM to 8PM
WHAT: Persona meeting #4 as hosted by Elizabeth, due to a conversation with Akira
WARNINGS: Make your own top levels, though everything in the third prompt will have its own section to keep things nice and neat. (did i smash rayne and hei's text together? a little)

I. TAKE A LOAD OFF
[ The spa is all paid for, as are the treatments, so why not take advantage of it? There's plenty to do, from all kinds of massages, to mud and ash baths, to a sauna, nail and hair salon, etc... Essentially if there's something for comfort, it's here, so don't think too hard about it. ]

II. GET SOME PRACTICE IN
[ Want to train? Well, today's host has a relaxed "no overworking" policy for today, but the spa does have a gym in reserve if you really, really want to do something. Whatever's in a gym is in this one, including a room that seems to usually be used for things like yoga classes or kickboxing or something? It's big, so there's plenty of room, but, like

please don't break anything. ]

III. I GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE SOME ACTUAL DISCUSSION THOUGH
[ For those that get hungry, you're in luck: the meeting proper is being held in the restaurant attached to this particularly fancy spa, at around 6pm. Eat some healthy, refreshing food (though you can technically do this whenever during your stay, this is the Official Dinner Meeting Time) and talk about the following things:

• Newbie introductions
• Team building (share/discuss/get to know each other + trust exercises)
• Memories/Retrospec shenanigans
• Items and abilities from Retrospec
• Privacy issues (Personas are free to be talked about, but other issues may have come up)
• Free discussion/advice corner

Elizabeth's also procured some whiteboards and markers, if illustrating things is easier for you, or if you want add to Yukiko's relationship board (which has made its reappearance once again). Don't worry about being overheard—connections being what they are, this room is fairly private and the waiters only come when called. Elizabeth's made arrangements with her fancy connections. ]

[ THIS IS EXCITING.



SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY NOTICED THE FACT SHE CAN TELEPORT NOW, but Elizabeth's going to demonstrate anyway—a blue magic circle appears in front of her and then at the end of the room, and when she steps through it

she's over there now!!! Brilliant. Beautiful. She's walking back over though, she feels a little ill if she jumps more even in... small spaces... ]

...I'm now truly a magical girl. Ask me anything.

[maskreant]

[ Akira is just here with wide eyes, not really doing anything else.

His expression is similar to that of a cat that has caught the red dot, but the red dot disappears under his paws.

That's definitely how he's feeling right now. ]

[elevelvetor]

[ AKIRA... ]

It's quite incredible, I know. [ :3c ] ...I unfortunately can't teleport outside of the city, however, so any trips to the new areas discovered last month will have to wait.

[maskreant]

[ Looks at her like she's a fucking wizard. ]

That's still convenient... I would want a power like that. Then I wouldn't need to worry about being late to work or class.

[ Yes. That's the First Thing to think about. ]

[elevelvetor]

[ Akira, please. ]

...Oh, I hadn't even considered that, though I always arrive early enough that I never really think about it, either. [ #tenminutesearlyalways ] Would you like me to pick you up at your place and teleport you to those places, in that case? As long as it doesn't conflict with my schedule, I don't mind being a little ferry service.

[ because what's the point of being able to teleport if you can't help your friends out right ]

[maskreant]

[ Wait. Wait. ]

... You can teleport with people, too? [ ????????? ] This is almost unfair.

I'll take it.

[ Even if he has a car. YEAH. ]

[elevelvetor]

One other person... that I'm aware of. I haven't tried it with a group, but I think it should be manageable.

[ maybe. ]

Regardless, consider yourself subscribed to Elizabeth's Teleportation Services. Thank you. The first payment will be due on the first of next month, though you may pay it now if you'd like. It's not very expensive.

[maskreant]

[ He’s awfully Suspicious when she says it isn’t expensive. Expensive is a monetary descriptor... This payment can be anything?? ]

All right. Name your price.

[elevelvetor]

One secret.

[ ...That's right, just a secret. ]

[maskreant]

[ ... Secrets? Secrets he's willing to give up...? ]

I gave Yosuke the Yu body pillow for Christmas.

[elevelvetor]

[ . . . ]

Secret accepted. Please enjoy your month of teleportation, Aki. You need only call or text, and I'll be... in the vicinity.

[compendiem]

Can you take people with you?

[ Specifically him. No more sinking hundreds of dollars on gas money, no more waking up half an hour early to account for travel time. ]

[elevelvetor]

[ The fun of the road trip is the trip though..... ]

Yes. I simply have to hold onto them—or they hold onto me—and then we simply walk through the magic circle. I haven't tried it with more than one other person, however

[compendiem]

[ More than one other person doesn't matter!!

Minato holds out his hands— both of them, in his eagerness. Take him. ]

[elevelvetor]

[ MINATO.......

Well, she. it wasn't a very long jump so she's probably okay with this amount of waiting for another jump, so she'll take one of his hands and reopen her book... find what she needs... and there's a magic circle!!! Going through it is very briefly disorientating and blue, because blue is just the thing here, but they'll appear on the other side of the room again.

Voila. ]

...I admit, my aiming is a little wonky if you'd like to go somewhere in the city, but anywhere in sight or that I know particularly well seems to work without much issue. How are you feeling?

[compendiem]

[ It's dizzying, and he has to hold onto Elizabeth's hand a moment longer so he doesn't fall right over, but he does let her go once he's made sure both feet are on the ground and none of him was left back there on the other side of the room. ]

Like orthostatic hypotension. Uh- when you stand too quickly and almost black out.

[ A common old person problem. ]

[elevelvetor]

[ ...Please teach her more new concerning things, Minato, damn. She raises her hands a little, as if to steady him further, but they sort of... hover there, not touching him, because she knows how almost every one of her friends feels about that. ]

Would you like to sit down, in that case? I can fetch a chair for you.

[compendiem]

[ I spent the last three and a half years of my life learning specifically about concerning things; let him teach Elizabeth everything. ]

It's fine. It either passes quickly, or I pass out. Also quickly. We're over that danger now.

[complementing]

[MINAKO IS SO JEALOUS?! She's always wanted to be a magical girl aaaahhhh.]

How does it feel.

[elevelvetor]

[ MINAKO... ]

Quite interesting, to be honest. I knew that she had the ability to—or rather, her book did—but to experience it is something else... She was quite a powerful person. [ or. "i was" should be it technically, but for her sanity and others'. ] Would you also like to subscribe to my teleportation services?

[complementing]

Oh my gosh yes. Even if it's just once, I'd love to teleport somewhere!

[elevelvetor]

[ aww babe ]

Then you'll have to pay the monthly subscription fee: one secret.

[complementing]

[She thinks for a moment and then leans in to whisper:]

Sometimes I use cake mix.

[elevelvetor]

[ She's getting such good dirt... Elizabeth covers her mouth with a look of amused surprised, then smiles and presses a finger to her lips. ]

Your secret is safe with me. Please enjoy my teleportation services for the rest of the month, Minako. You need only text or call, and I'll be... somewhere around you.

[complementing]

[Minako punches her fist into the air.]

Yessss! Thanks, Elizabeth~
