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. ]

[youraffection]

You think so?

[ That does make him feel a little better. ]

I think it's just because I haven't gotten my Persona yet. Yukiko had the same thing happen.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah!

[he means it too!]

Well, even if she did, I still think it's impressive. And healing and wind are really useful spells too.

[youraffection]

It took me a while to get around to it, but...yeah. I'm glad I can do something.

[ Aka HE WAS SALTY but you know. ]

But hey, show us what you can do!

[fiddlestick]

Haha, I know that feeling...

[HE KNOWS. Spent years being the weakling while surrounded by badass folks, he gets it]

P-Pretty sure I can't show you at the dinner table. But I can use elemental magic, heal, and a couple other spells like a sleep spell and one that gives me information on someone's battle abilities.

[youraffection]

Aw, c'mon! One or two won't hurt, right? Give me a read! Or try the sleep thing on someone.

[fiddlestick]

Uh, well, okay? I guess doing a read would be fine...it might feel a little funny, sorry.

[He shuts his eyes and concentrates. There's no visible sign of the spell working, but Yosuke will have a strange feeling in his head for a moment, as if someone's looking into his brain. It can be distracting unless Yosuke's good at focusing, but it won't hurt and will only last a couple moments.

Meanwhile, Elliot will start to recite over the information being downloaded into his head]

Yosuke Hanamura. 17 year-old high school senior. Works retail. Close-- [CUTS HIMSELF OFF AS HE REALIZES WHAT THAT PART SAYS, clearing his throat before skipping over that stuff. He's not here to out anyone] -- G-Generally friendly, wanting to be helpful and liked by people, has a, er, terrible foot-in-mouth syndrome.

Average strength, average defense, good at magic, great speed. Strong against wind element, weak against electricity, Yu-- [clears throat again, wow this is a gay read] Y-You also are weak to Retrospec conspiracy theories!

Usually carries phone, his headphones, a-a ring, and about $20.

[He opens his eyes and quickly goes for a drink of water]

H-How was that?

[youraffection]

[ Admittedly, Yosuke wasn't expecting...most of that. So he quits egging Elliot on and just listens.

And blinks when he's finished. ]

Uh...wow. That's--a lot more specific than I was thinkin'...

[fiddlestick]

Oh...

[He scratches his jaw with his index finger]

S-Sorry. I was just reciting what I got. [With a few edits....]

[youraffection]

How...like...how does that even work?

[ HE'S IMPRESSED?? Not mad--even if some of the things were kind of embarrassing, they're...also kind of painfully true. ]

[fiddlestick]

M-Magic?

[He offers a little sigh and shrug]

I don't know, actually. It's just...something I can do. I target a person with the intent to analyze, and then all this information starts coming into my head.

[youraffection]

I guess I was expecting, like...something all mystical sounding, you know?

[ Not like SOMETHING SUPER LEGIT. ]

[fiddlestick]

Oh. Eheh, sorry?

It's meant for battle analysis. Not really anything like tarot or astrology.
