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. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ ah, well, that makes a little sense about elliot's reaction. of course, souji doesn't know the extent of elliot's fear towards fire but it's still an explanation that souji can understand ]

I see. I'm sorry for bringing it up.

[ that was definitely his bad ]

I can tell everyone not to use any fire-based skills around you?

I-It's okay, you didn't know.

[He shakes his head]

And that's alright, I'm getting better about being around fire skills. Even have some of my own... [He offers a nervous little shrug] Seeing Mako be really careful about it on the expedition helped a lot.

Is that so?

[ you know, maybe it's a good thing that souji decided to wear his stupid dress shirt with his dumb popped up collars because haha mako being careful with his firebending :') souji's neck and collar begs to differ but anyWAY ]

Well, I think it'll be good if we tone down on the setting-ourselves-on-fire gimmick anyway. It loses its spark after the first few times, you know?

[Yeah that's a good thing indeed. BUT HEY ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. Mako's clearly learned!!]

Y-Yeah...I would think so too. Maybe you can come up with another gimmick, you do have a lot of Personas.

[ SO WE HOPE... cue mako fucking up again ]

How about freezing ourselves in blocks of ice?

[ ice is like the opposite of fire (well, water is but close enough) ]
