(10:28:59 PM) ***Eir has gathered up Linny and Carol and met them in front of a spa! It's a good spa, a nice spa, a spa that isn't owned by Selesnya. Probably, anyway. It *does* look to have a lot of Dryads on staff; it's called 'Trifold Harmony Spa' and has really good ratings! And very attractive people working there, even by Spa standards. It's a little expensive, but Eir's paying for the whole thing;
(10:28:59 PM) ***Eir she insisted. It's mostly open-air, in a nice and unpolluted part of Sigil, though from the slight tingle of ozone in the air there's likely weather control magic or technology at play. Eir's wearing a decent green dress and looks happy as a clam!
(10:33:38 PM) Ikiryo: Carol has arrived, the dark haired adepta sororitas dressed in simple long pants and a t-shirt with a fluer-de-lys on it.
(10:35:20 PM) ***Eir waves, jumping up and down a little!
(10:35:38 PM) Feldi: Linny has arrived in her usual casual clothes. Ever since she won it, she may not have actually gone a day without wearing her fur-lined jacket.
(10:37:09 PM) Eir: "Hey you two!"
(10:37:51 PM) Ikiryo: Carol gives a small wave to Eir, raising an eyebrow at Linny.
(10:38:58 PM) Feldi: "Hey, Eir." She tilts her head at Carol. "What?"
(10:43:35 PM) Ikiryo: "I wasn't quite expecting you to be the person she invited along."
(10:45:05 PM) Feldi: "I thought I told you I was coming?" Linny shrugs. "Ah well, here I am!"
(10:46:09 PM) Ikiryo: Carol shakes her head. "Right, sorry. Been working long hours, doesn't do wonders for remembering things."
(10:46:59 PM) Feldi: "I wouldn't know~ Now, let's go in and see what you have prepared for us, Eir."
(10:47:15 PM) ***Eir eyes Carol. "And this is why you need to take breaks," she says with a sigh. "Same thing I told Britney. Workplaces need to realize that mental health is important for the people who work there. And yeah! Let's go have fun, girls! I bbooked us for the WHOLE DAY!"
(10:49:48 PM) Feldi: "The whole day? What could they do to us for the whole day?" Linny questions as she follows Eir in.
(10:49:49 PM) Ikiryo: "Oh boy..."
(10:51:43 PM) ***Eir GRINS at Linny. It's a familiar grin. It's the kind of grin Linny gives to a prey animal before pouncing. "Oh, what CAN'T they do?~" She trills. "I think the first stop is the massage tables, to get us all nice and loose for everything else..."
(10:53:19 PM) Ikiryo: [To: Linny - I wasn't aware Eir required being more loose]
(10:54:04 PM) Feldi: Linny looks over at Carol, and realizes that she should maybe have been more hesitant about joining this than she was. She clamps her mouth shut at Carol's message, having to hold back a laugh as hard as she can. [You bitch~]
(10:54:25 PM) Ikiryo: [Takes one to know one~]
(10:55:03 PM) Feldi: Linny does snort at that.
(10:57:29 PM) Feldi: "Let's get to those tables then."
(11:00:49 PM) Ikiryo: Carol nods. "Right."
(11:03:15 PM) Eir: "Yay!" A trio of dryads that look like triplets approach the group and bow, taking each one of them by their arms to lead them to a rather nice, cordoned-off area--paper walls, rokugani-style--with massage tables on them. They get the three stripped down and laid out, to start doing... VERY excellent deep massages.
(11:05:10 PM) Ikiryo: Carol squeaks a bit at that, ears twitching.
(11:05:21 PM) Feldi: Linny groans throatily as her masseuse digs in deep. "Oh, this is good~" She purrs out.
(11:07:42 PM) Eir: "I... mmmf~ Know, right?~" Eir says happily, sighing as they break out aromatized oils to start working those into the trio.
(11:08:33 PM) Ikiryo: Carol doesn't seem to quite be managing words. She has a LOT of stress.
(11:11:15 PM) Feldi: Given Linny's superb sense of smell, the oils do a *very* good job helping her relax even more.
(11:11:49 PM) Eir: The dryad triplets work *very* well on all of them, for quite some time; working out kinks, easing out tense muscles, and just otherwise making sure three are as relaxed as possible--for when they start to wheel them, still on the tables, to the next event--a warm mud bath! Very good for the skin.
(11:12:41 PM) Feldi: "Mud?" Linny questions at the sight of the large baths. "Really?"
(11:13:14 PM) Ikiryo: "They've mad mud civilized."
(11:13:17 PM) Ikiryo: *made
(11:15:12 PM) Feldi: "Is there nothing you monsters won't destroy?" Linny deadpans, dropping her towel and clambering up to fall into the mud bath.
(11:16:40 PM) Eir: "Indeed~" one of the Dryads says. "It is good for the skin and joints~" Her sister continues as they help the trio in. And it DOES feel good to the joints, very warm and putting plenty of comfortable pressure...
(11:17:37 PM) Ikiryo: Carol closes her eyes, breaths slowing a bit as she starts to finally relax.
(11:20:59 PM) ***Eir smiles and groans a bit,d oing that herself; the Dryads come out with rather sweet-smelling colored mud to apply to the girl's faces... and cucumber slices. Not for eating, but for placing over the eyes.
(11:22:34 PM) Ikiryo: "Feeling barbarian enough Linny, covered in mud?"
(11:23:44 PM) Feldi: "You know what? I'm too relaxed to throw dirt at you~"
(11:25:57 PM) ***Eir laughs softly. "If I'd known we wanted to do mud wrestling I would've signed up for an entirely different sort of day trip~" She teases. The mud bath lasts awhile, but eventually they're pulled out and scrubbed off--quite skillfully--before being rolled to the main course... the hot springs! A private, small one just ofr the three of them, with various options for oils and natural
(11:25:58 PM) ***Eir scents to put in the water.
(11:29:29 PM) Feldi: Linny actually selects a few scents, mountain-growing herbs and flowers. She lets out a long sigh as she melts into the water.
(11:31:26 PM) Ikiryo: Carol leans back in the water, stretching slightly. "...I'll admit, this isn't bad."
(11:33:02 PM) Feldi: "I think this is just what the doctor ordered~" Linny grins, eyes closed, at her own pun.
(11:33:14 PM) Eir: "See?" Eir smiles, relaxing in the water and taking deep breaths. "Nothing to do but... relax. Let go." She chuckles a bit at Linny. "Nice one."
(11:35:22 PM) Ikiryo: Linny gets splashed a bit by the hospitaler.
(11:37:36 PM) Feldi: Linny takes it all in stride~
(11:38:14 PM) ***Eir giggles softly, ducking her head under the water to blow some bubbles for a moment.
(11:44:13 PM) Eir: During this time, lunch is served to the trio; sparkling wine and little sandwiches with the edges cut off and a variety of fillings; very light, but as mcuh as they'd care to eat and drink.
(11:44:28 PM) Feldi: Linny eats and drinks a lot.
(11:47:11 PM) Ikiryo: Carol clearly hasn't been eating enough, nearly inhaling food.
(11:49:16 PM) ***Eir eats an appropriate amount! Which given everything she eats goes direclty into fueling what amounts to a magical nuclear reaction hidden inside the core of her body, is... actually a fairly large amount. "Gods, even the food is delicious, this is great... I don't normally go for tiny little sandwiches like this but at least it's all we can eat, right?"
(11:49:52 PM) Feldi: "That's what I really like."
(11:53:23 PM) Ikiryo: Carol nods. "I was wondering if it would just be those tastless little sandwiches that they like in serenity. I really don't like cucumber sandwiches."
(11:54:26 PM) Eir: "I mean, I can appreciate a cucumber sandwich if it's a good one... with like, dill cream cheese and a dash of salt and pepper, mmm..." She actually selects just that. "But yeah, it's not my favorite filling if I have the choice. The wine's pretty good too, definitely good quality."
