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.

It's private! Ish. [ Ritsuka holds up a hand to waggle it back and forth. Ish! ] The only people here are the staff and the people who were invited, and I think everyone here knows at least one other person. No one who's not at least a little familiar with the folks here.

[ Honestly, that's probably for the best. She'd feel bad for any actual strangers who might have wound up here for this weekend. ]

That's the point of a vacation, though. Do your own thing, at your own pace, make some nice memories. But hell yeah, I'm going for the baths. I haven't really perfected my "become the water" technique, but I'm trying.

Wanna hang out? I know they've got some mixed baths.

[ They can both appreciate the water together. And Ritsuka is a person who prefers to be with other people even when she's relaxing. So why not extend the invitation, especially when they're both headed that way? ]
