[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 ♥]

[ she waves back and then fans herself. ]

Wow... it's more humid in here than I thought.

[ as she gets closer to the edge of the water, she'll let the towel fall away and get in, covering her boobs a bit before she's finally got most of her body submerged. ]

[ino]

Yeah, a little bit ... but it feels nice once you're all the way in. Good for tense muscles, you know?

[ if sparkling were possible, she'd be DAZZLING right now. she's getting very comfortable in the water. so soothing after a long day at work! ]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

It really is! I can't believe I haven't been using these at all.

[ino]

Honestly, it's kind of like a ghost town around here most of the time. With the lanterns and everything, though ... it's really beautiful.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

It's a nice change for once!

[ino]

Yeah, no kidding.

[she'll sigh, running her hands through her hair]

So how have things been?

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Hm? [ she rubs some of the water on her shoulder. ] It's okay. It's been kind of quiet lately. Nothing much has happened.

What about you, Ino-chan?

[ino]

Yeah, same for me, I guess. [dksjhfkj briefly considers bringing up her "fight" with allen, but .... eh, she doesn't really want to upset uru or make her worry] Sakura was running around for a bit dressed up weirdly and acting all ... "villainous".

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

... Villainous? Why was she doing that?

[ino]

It was some weird loss, I think. I heard a couple of other people were running around doing strange things too.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ sinks a bit into the water. ]

And here I thought things were quiet again...

[ino]

Well, I don't think they did any major damage, at least ... [a little giggle]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Wasn't there something similar back in August? Where the kids did the same thing.

[ino]

Yeah, I think so, now that you mention it. That was why Mark and Nora got arrested ...

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Are they your friends?

23894732 days later sob

[ino]

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.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Are they okay now, at least?

[ino]

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

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

Phew...

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

Things never really stay the same in Paradisa, huh?

[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 ...

[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?

[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.
