A Japanese-inspired hot springs located near the farm where Chosen are encouraged to relax and soak. There's an indoor area to relax, as well as changing rooms that, for Chosen who have been there in the past, seem to have been recently upgraded, removing cracks between the doors and increasing privacy. Hmm...
[On the morning of October 4th, a quick message goes out over the network:]
[Okay, so it's a simple message, but he's a silent protag, so what else do you expect? It lists a location, at least.
Anyway. The rules of the hot springs have changed remarkably little in the almost-year that they've been here, though there are no longer attendants there to enforce said rules—right now, very few locals seem willing to work with, or particularly for, the Chosen. So it's on the honor system. Follow the rules! For honor!
Simple.
It's not like the hot springs have gone unused for any period of time, but the springs and dressing rooms have been newly cleaned, restocked with fresh towels and even some snacks.
As the day turns to evening, lanterns light up the area, but the hot springs don't actually have a closing time, so there's no official end time on this gathering. It's temptingly relaxing, but don't fall asleep in the water!]
Onsen cookout tomorrow (10/5) from noon through evening, hosted by the cooking club.
Bring a dish, drink, or game, if you want.

1. Best behavior.
2. The springs are co-ed, so soak at your own discretion.
3. Food is provided, alcohol is BYO.
4. No sex in the hot springs!

The cooking club was organized by Kotone Shiomi, and is frequented by plenty of the Chosen who want to learn how to cook, improve their skills, or...want to help out by, you know. Tasting. It regularly meets in the club building in town, and sometimes club members can be coerced into providing food for events and gatherings.
[Yu has enlisted the help of the Cooking Club to do some kind of potluck-slash-cookout. People are welcome to bring their own dishes (and others are encourage to taste-test and provide feedback—this is for a club, after all!), but there's also a flat-top grill that will be manned throughout the afternoon and evening by different members of the club—or by volunteers, if you'd like.
Just…just don't give anyone food poisoning, okay?
Aside from food, there will be some other activities: decks of playing cards and other games, for some reason a cornhole game, sparklers, and other small activities. Feel free to bring your own, or hole up in the corner with a book or something, we don't control you.
Also, you may occasionally find any number of cats hanging around, as well. They look expectant, like they're waiting for food or a treat or something. Almost as if someone has been feeding them regularly.]

[Vi's in a robe, and she looks... actually pretty tired. she might also be a little drunk, if the half empty bottle of liquor in her hand is any indication. don't worry, she didn't start it today.
probably.
at least she's definitely not drunk enough for this.]
I'm not going to be a part of you electrocuting yourself.
no subject
That's the fun of it, my dear inebriated friend! Only one of these wires is live, I believe. Shall we find out which one?
I'm sure the answer will be quite shocking.
[...Get it? That was a subtle one. Fandaniel still feels proud of it, though.]
no subject
You first. Don't expect me to haul your naked ass to a doctor, though.
[she's inebriated, but not that inebriated.]
no subject
Very well.
[He turns, picks up a pair of pliers, and twists at one of the many wires curling through the innards of the robot. Nothing happens.]
It wasn't that one.
Here you go, your turn.
[With a sly smirk he looks back at Vi, drops his chin into one hand, and dangles the pliers from the fingers of the other.]
no subject
[she takes another drink out of her bottle, and shakes her head.]
No, no, I never said I was playing. You can knock yourself out with that for all I care.
cw: suicidal ideation
Of course, to play properly I should be using a revolver. But we make do with what we have.
[He looks over his shoulder at the other bathers, looks back at Vi, and says in a loud stage whisper...]
Besides, should I lose and touch a live wire, these poor souls will be cooked along with me. And that does add to the excitement.
[At this he brandishes the pliers at her.]
Are you sure you do not wish to play? I guarantee it will be a more memorable way to die than alcohol poisoning.
no subject
then she walks towards him, not really outwardly bothered by the fact that he's naked. and hen she leans down, frustration crossing her features.]
If you hurt anyone in this pool, I'll beat the shit out of you. I might be a little buzzed, but I can still pack a punch.
[don't test her!!]
cw: idk even, fandaniel shit
Fandaniel gently sets the pliers down and laces his fingers together across the ledge.]
...I say, you look a bit...tense.
Would you like an excuse to beat me half to death? Our successful reset has placed me in a giving mood! You are welcome to get in the water with me and strike until I'm broken. I probably won't even charge the pool with electricity first!
[Saying this, he drops his chin to rest on his knuckles and flashes her a radiant grin.]
SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTANCE....
Hey, play nice! — You two are ruining my,"holding my breath underwater until I faint or come with any amazing idea" process...!! Don't make me come over there!
oh my God LMFAODGHD
Keep doing... whatever you're doing!! This is my problem!!
[though now that she knows her little sister's in the hot springs right now just adds fuel to the fire in that she definitely needs to get this guy to stop with his funny business.
or what he perceives as funny business.
she's going to attempt to grab at his arm and try to yank him out of the water, keeping an eye on the wire as she does.]
Don't tempt me. I'm really not in the mood for bullshit antics today.
no subject
My! You're so strong!
[He rises from the water and follows the direction of her pull so his arm isn't twisted from its socket. Once he's out of the pool he twirls and lifts his hands in a welcoming gesture.]
Well?
If you are going to beat me, best be quick about it!
Ah, but no blows to the face, pray. I'll still be needing my face.
no subject
You seem awfully cheerful for someone who could get the shit beaten out of him. And vulnerable.
[she's referring to his nakedness.......
she'll come for the swing without really giving him much time to answer with an uppercut towards the ribs.]
no subject
When the fist connects with his torso he exhales and reflexively leans forward to guard his ribs with his hands.]
Oof.
Those fists of yours truly are deadly weapons, aren't they? I'll be a lovely shade of purple by morning.
[As he straightens up, he wiggles his fingers in a "come hither" movement.]
Fancy another shot?
