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. ]

[ He wasn't expecting to hear more about Rise since: ]

I was talking about in general with you, Yukiko.

[ Girl. He does smile a bit, trying to stifle a chuckle here. ]

[burningblossoms]

Oh!

[She is weird. excuse her.]

Um. I've had memories of playing the saxophone and dancing? I know how to dance, now. And quite well.

I thought you saw me do both, at the night club and Yosuke's birthday?

[maskreant]

I did, but I didn't think some of it came from muscle memory.

[ Which is still a weird thing to this day— ]

When will I be blessed by the gods of dance? So far I've picked up parkour and... Cooking curry.

[burningblossoms]

Oh, yes, all of it did.

[Heh...]

I don't know about dance, but you never told me about the curry. You'll have to show me. I am always, always interested in new ways to make that.

[maskreant]

[ What the hell? Retrospec give him magical skills he doesn't need to work for??? ]

Apparently, I used to make curry and coffee? Thanks to... I guess someone you would call my caretaker during my probation. He was a little grumpy, but he really knew how to take care of people.

[ Akira sounds pretty fond of him. ]

[burningblossoms]

[She thinks that sounds a little odd, but then nice coffee and good curry? A good flavor pairing.]

You were a barista curry king, then?

[maskreant]

I guess so? More like he was the barista curry king and I was his apprentice.

[ He knows it's a weird combination. Odd enough, he hasn't tried it out here yet? ]

But I can definitely teach you... It's a weird mix of what I learned from Odasaku, Goro, and my memories, though.

[burningblossoms]

I'd like that, definitely.

[She doesn't care about the origins!]

[maskreant]

I guess we can put that on top of baking—[ Wait he has an idea... ]

Or we can make curry donuts.

[burningblossoms]

Better. But curry croquettes, instead. Those are divine.

[maskreant]

[ Eyes widening, it's like he has been visited by an angel... Her name is Yukiko and she's giving him the new gospel.

They must spread this—covering his mouth, he looks conflicted. ]

I'm only a mere peasant.

[burningblossoms]

[Well this is amusing. She...doesn't gigglefit thankfully, but she's close.]

snerk You...are the barista curry coffee king's apprentice...I'm sure you'll be fine.

[maskreant]

[ OH NO. He knows where this is going. He can see the giggle fit winding up—but he kind of misses it. ]

Yeah. I just need to keep calm and curry on.

[ YEAH. ]

[burningblossoms]

[Oh no.

Goodbye world.

Yukiko is lost to you.]

Hah...hah...haaahahahaha!

[maskreant]

[ Usually, he doesn't laugh with her since he's too busy being stunned by how long she laughs, but he does join in this time with a couple of snickers here and there...

Then laughing a bit. It's infectious. ]
