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. ]

[ 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.

[maskreant]

Thanks.

[ HE HOPES NO ONE ELSE HEARD THAT? He knows about Yosuke's investigation, but he hasn't been hassled by him... Yu somehow knows, so he's wondering if it's just a matter of time. ]

[elevelvetor]

[ Karma's a bitch, Akira. ]

Of course. Your secret is safe with me as well... [ she can fund her own rollerskate parties okay, also she's leaning in a little— ] Though I have to wonder, are body pillows simply your thing?

[maskreant]

I have a normal body pillow, but I don’t own a daki, so no. It’s funny to see how people react when they get one, though.

[ Akira Kurusu, the fiend that feeds off of people’s discomfort. ]

If anything, it’s Yusuke’s new source of income.

[elevelvetor]

[ Akira, please... ]

Do they cost much? I may look into commissioning him for one or two as gifts for birthdays...

[maskreant]

[ He's sure you would understand him... Don't pretend that you don't. ]

They're pricey for normal people... The pillow case can range from forty to a hundred depending on the artist and design.

[elevelvetor]

[ ...She would, don't worry. ]

Very cute you decided to tack on "for normal people". [ SHE'S AWARE, BUT. SHE JUST. THINKS IT'S CUTE OF HIM. ] Thank you for the information. I'll speak with Yusuke the next time a friend's birthday is coming up and see what I can do.

[maskreant]

[ He's just pointing it out there?? Because he's partly normal and it's weird to say 100 dollars means nothing.

Next time a friend's birthday comes up. There's a fear that it's his, but it's not like she knows. Hope lives. ]

Yeah, no problem. I think he might give you a discount if you order in bulk, too.

[ Sorry, Yusuke. ]
