open mingle: the hot springs episode
Who: everyone!
Where: the hot springs by Astralin's farm
What: food, fun, and absolutely no funny business, i'm sure
Warnings: i'm sure some form of stupid and/or unhinged will present itself, but until then--! nothing!

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.]

no subject
[She said with a pause or two.]
Especially when I know Japan's summer can be hotter than this.
no subject
[ Just So You Know, you know! so no need to worry!!!!
though you'd say he's worrying enough for the both of them right now ... ]
Is it really? But it's not a desert, right?
no subject
[She said with a giggle or two.]
I'm assuming you are used to hot weather?
no subject
[ just like how nothing compares to living in a desert planet with two suns ... ]
You could say that, haha! I'm sure I'd still find this pretty hot though, it's steaming!
no subject
[She said before looking around for a place that might be cooler.]
I don't want you to overheat!
no subject
[ the panic momentarily subsided seems to flare up again even more at the idea of her being concerned about him, and vash's expression grows frantic as he tries to reassure her. ]
I mean, where I come from - it's all desert! But it's a different sort of heat, you know? It's not boiling water!!
no subject
[she said with a mumble or two.]
Are you sure you're going to be okay?
no subject
[ not to mention even in this supposed heat vash is fully dressed in turtleneck and his jacket ... ]
I'm not even sweating, see? It's okay, you really don't need to be concerned about me at all!
no subject
[She wanted to say how she was still worried. Then again, she was always a healer and wanted to help as many people as possible. With that, she gave a sigh.]
...Alright but at the very least, please continue to drink some water. You're not sweating but I still want to you be hydrated too. Just like what you did for me, right? Especially when your world seems to be so hot.
no subject
Ahaha ... I will, I will! Please don't worry about me! Like I said, this is nothing!
[ he isn't really thirsty at all, but because he's trying to get her to stop making that expression, vash is going to grab a cup at random and throw it back in two gulps, barely tasting the flavour of the juice at all before he smiles widely. ]
See? All good!
no subject
[And yet, she was so used to seeing people in pain that she didn't want anyone else to be the same way here. As he was drinking from said random cup, she couldn't help but look toward the door.]
....It's just impressive to me that you can still live in such a place. I think a lot of people can't handle it.
