Hot Springs and Ryokan

[battymynameis]

Guess what, y'all. It's time for a field trip. We're heading to a Hot Springs and an Inn for the weekend, and everyone is invited. This place is huge, and has multiple springs both indoor and out. There's separate bathing, mixed, and even a spot for foreigners and prudes who like to keep their swimsuits on. Table tennis? Got it. Room service? You bet. Massages? Possibly. Ghosts? Maybe.

1. Hot springs: after you rinse off come take a relaxing bath. There are multiple options as to what kind of bathing environment you can have, so please choose wisely. Also, please read the signs. None of the springs will kill you, but if you choose the wrong one you might end up with some... adverse effects. Cursed springs might just be a Thing.

2. The Inn: you'll be here for a few nights so find your rooming buddy and get friendly. Whether bonding over food, games, or even just exploring the place there's certainly something you can find to occupy yourself. Just don't be too curious after curfew. The staff are pretty insistent, but they aren't cops so responsibility for your actions are your own.

Er--right, sorry...

[9S is promptly lowering his own voice too, sounding sheepish enough to hopefully compensate for all three of them. All prospects of danger seemingly averted, 9S releases Masamune's shoulder quickly enough too, folding his arms and blinking between Mash and the new stranger alike. Well, geez...this new guy sure doesn't exactly seem like the friendly and polite type, that huge lack of greeting and an immediate insult in Masamune's direction considered. Looks like these two might know each other? Ah, but it also seems like Mash has been hanging out with this "Ishida" too, so maybe he's alright after all? Still, as 9S can't help but blurt out at the accusation:]

Uh, "wailing of an infant"...? This guy hasn't been crying at all, actually, I can confirm. [Because sure, they might be literally just delinquent roommate acquaintances at the moment--but still!! Assuming that "One-Eyed Dragon" is actually referring to him--and 9S kind of figures it is, considering he's the only party with only one eye visible in this whole lot--he may as well defend Masamune's not-crybaby honor a little bit!!! He just screams really easily apparently, that's not the same thing at all....but anyhow, it's time to look over to Mash again after this.] Aha, I guess we're not the only ones breaking rules right now...you guys should be careful, though! There's cursed spirits going around here.

[Stated gravely, as fact.]

[Until 9S confirms her suspicions, Mash glowers a little behind the backs of the others—she can't help it! She may be bad at controlling her volume sometimes, but she's not an idiot, and she knows babies crying when she hears them! Not to mention she's pretty sure the darting shadow she saw before wasn't either of these guys. Does she have evidence? No, not even a little . . . so maybe it would be easier to let them hash it out and slip away on her own in pursuit of whatever's really going on . . .

But no, she isn't the only one, thank god. Her eyes widen at the words cursed spirits and nods, keeping her voice down this time, and hoping the other two do the same. That may be a bit too much to hope for.]

Cursed spirits . . . I knew something was going on. The sounds I heard weren't any of you. That's why I woke up in the first place. I should have realized I'd run into other people who heard the same thing.
