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 happens: Kaname scores her first point, because Mash wasn't prepared for the spin on that ball. She watches it go by with a little gasp of surprise. No!! Well, it's only one point . . . and a learning experience at that. Now she knows what to look out for, kind of! She goes to grab the ball and then to serve it again, in accordance with the rules, determined:]

Absolutely! Don't get too cocky because you have the lead!

[Now that she has the hang of it, this serve is a lot more firm.]

What if I'm just the right amount of cocky?

[She teases. Chidori goes back to allowing a friendly volley again. Scoring so soon after her first point wouldn't be in good sport! Besides, now Mash expects her to be on the offensive. Two in a row is probably expected.]

[That is absolutely what she expects, and is a little surprised when it doesn't come. At the same time, it's a good chance for her to begin getting the feel of playing more offensively herself: she's seen it in action now, and has a breather. After a little back and forth, she goes for it, swinging harder and aiming at a point that she's hoping is closer to Kaname's body than she's expecting to have to hit. It's not coming to her naturally yet, but she's warming up!]

Then . . . then enjoy it while it lasts! Hyah!

[Also, she's really, really not good at trash talk.]
