[there's a few sounds of water splashing against rocks in the background, followed by a pleased sigh]

I think I like this holiday.

[she'll turn in the water, setting the journal on some nearby rocks to dictate into it]

Anyone want to join me at the hot springs? Though if you're a guy you'll have to go on the other side.

[ooc: Open in person as well, if anyone else wants to already be there ♥]

Yeah. Mark is -- um. [whoops ... technically people are supposed to know him as harry, but ... she's sure uru won't tell] He's the guy who does those weird "shows" over the journal Monday nights. Nora is his girlfriend.

[ino]

Yeah, that's what I usually do, or a portable lantern.

[she sees your shuffling, hinata, and grins] Come on, don't be shy -- just get in!

[ino]

So you still have awhile, huh ...

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Are they okay now, at least?

haha it's fine!♥

[gentleidealist]

[OOF. He scrambles to his feet and makes sure to look away properly.]

Thanks. I'm... gonna get going.

[Time to get the fuck out. And possibly extract revenge on a certain ginger.]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

I hope less than awhile, but I think you might have the right of it.

[hyuuga]

[Something easier said than done for her. Even if it is only Ino around.]

Ah, all right...

[Hinata takes a quick look around just to be sure no one else is around. Then takes a deep breath before getting in, towel included.]

[watches him go, hands on her hips 8| before going back to the hot spring .... warily ......]

[ino]

Yeah. It was just the loss, so once it was over, they were let out.

[ino]

See? Not so bad, is it?

[ino]

Unfortunately, the more you wish it would be over fast, the longer it usually takes.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Heh, you are quite right. I tell myself that, and yet the more I tell myself such a thing the more I think about wishing it were over.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Phew...

[ she leans back and enjoys the warm water some more. ]

Things never really stay the same in Paradisa, huh?

[payback.livejournal.com]

It seems like people never learn. If they wish for things to happen, it might be something terrible.

[ino]

To be honest, I don't think people really care that much whether it's horrible or not. [sinks into the water a little bit]

[ino]

No, not really. It's kind of strange, actually, how it evolves ... I know people are reluctant to believe this place has a mind of its own, but ...

[ino]

It's a vicious cycle. [sighs, leaning back against a nearby rock] I remember when I got turned into a guy once. It was pretty awful.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

That's right! You're one of the oldest residents. I don't remember when I was here the first time. What was Paradisa like originally?

[payback.livejournal.com]

Idiots.

[Rin has sort of developed a low opinion of the residents in general.]

[ino]

Pretty much. [it's okay, she kinda has too sldkjalkd lifts her hands up to run her fingers through her hair, detangling it]

[ino]

A lot different ...

Well, actually there were a lot more floors in the castle. There weren't as many special rooms, like the seasons room or the movie theater ...

And for a long time there weren't any seasons, either, it was just always warm. We couldn't go very far out past the city. If you kept walking, you'd just end up right back at the front door of the castle.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Right back...

What did you all do then?

[ino]

We stayed in the area. And ... went a little stir-crazy, I guess. We didn't know there was anything at all out there, let alone people or other creatures.

But then where did the First Gens live if you couldn't go anywhere? That doesn't make much sense.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ lmao who is she even kidding. nothing makes sense. ]
