[ Event | Video | Action ] Spa Night #3
[ Video | Open ]
I want to thank everyone who showed up today's Sign Language class. I know we've lost a few students in the past few weeks, but I appreciate everyone's adjustments to their partners. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say this in the class, but... thank you all! [ She smiles, turning to look toward her handiwork. The scene behind her is that of the public bathing area, but things are... different. Candles are strewn about, incense has been set up, and tables piled high with wigs, make-up, and other beauty products are all lined against open spaces that are unoccupied by the baths themselves, or low stools.

Doesn't it just make you curious?

Here is where switches the privacy settings~ ]

[ Filtered from: Diva, men ]
Ladies, it's that time again! [ Jeanne sounds giddy, and it's been a while since she's shown that sort of expression over the network. ]

For those who have been here a while -- I'm so sorry! I know it's been over two weeks, but I've just been so busy, so hopefully you'll all forgive me when you see what I have in store tonight. [ She steps aside, motioning with her arm to the tables from before. ] When Acumen announced the costume party, I just had to set this up today.

We all have to look -- and feel -- our best for tomorrow, right? [ Pointing to the camera, with a wink. ] So let's help each other!

[ Private | Diva ]
[ Several hours into the afternoon, thoroughly invigorated by the anticipation of tomorrow, and still running off the high from the events of the day, she decides to brave a call. If Diva found out that she had been left out, she would likely be upset, and with practically the whole dome on alert now, it was best to be cautious. She could handle this. ] Diva, are you going to be going to the party tomorrow? There's not much time to pick out a costume before tomorrow, so... let me know if you want any help.
[ /Private ]

(ooc: Same as previous times~ Event-style tagging, threadjacking and mingling highly encouraged! || Party-crashers are welcome this time, thanks to Jeanne's lack of stealth -- but please try not to outnumber the actual guests? Thank you! ♥)

(ETA: I wanted to emphasize that action is encouraged, and you don't have to tell me (or Jeanne) before tagging in. Have fun!)

	[ She just beams proudly, extending her hand for a firm, if friendly shake. ] Jeanne Fránçaix. It's nice to meet you, --? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Takes Jeanne's hand and shakes it firmly.] Karen Kasumi. It's very nice to meet you as well, Jeanne. I didn't expect this place to be so nice when I first arrived. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know the feeling, Karen. [ Her expression softens. ] It was kind of a scary experience when I arrived -- so many strange people, and the whole ball-and-chain deal...

But things aren't really so bad here, once you get used to the odd incidents here and there. [ Rubbing at her neck, once she has the hand back. ] Most everyone tries to keep things going as smoothly as possible, though.

	Ball-and-chain? [A curious look. She didn't get one of those...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Blinking. ] That's right. Did you... read the pamphlet? [ It mentioned it, after all; she'd rather not assume who did or did not arrive with restraints. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireofheaven 2011-02-03 04:14 am UTC (link)
	No, I didn't. It probably would have been helpful if I had. [A slight frown.] It doesn't sound very pleasant though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The welcoming committee put a lot of information in those. I could probably dig up a copy if you really wanted one. Have you been around long? Mm, it wasn't, but ... it was temporary. [ A weak smile, waving it off. ] But no need to worry about it, now! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireofheaven 2011-02-03 07:14 am UTC (link)
	I only arrived a few days ago so I'm still getting to know the place. It's not....how I imagined a prison would look. And the people aren't what I expected at all. [But! Moving on! She heads towards the table and starts perusing all the supplies.] I haven't painted my nails in so long...What color do you think I should use? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marina is full of surprises, that's for sure. [ She follows, pausing nearby with her finger on her chin in thought. ] Hmmmm. That depends! Are you thinking about it for day-to-day life, or is it going to have to match a costume for tomorrow's party? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireofheaven 2011-02-03 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Just day-to-day. [Picks up a bottle of pale pink polish.] I'm not sure I'll go to the party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fleur_de_glorie 2011-02-04 12:09 am UTC (link)
	Oh, okay. [ She picks up one that's a nice dark red, and another that's sunflower yellow, holding both up. ] I would say that's a shame, but it might be a little much to be that social after just a few days in, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireofheaven 2011-02-05 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	[Eyes both of the colors before taking the bright yellow.] A little. I'm sure it'll be lots of fun, but there are a couple people I want to keep an eye on who might not be going. [Opening the bottle, she starts applying the polish to her nails.] Are there events like this one often here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ At that, her expression softens. ] Mm. I can understand that. It'd be best to stay close to them.

[ Perking up. ] You mean the ball, or the spa? [ Jeanne nods. ] Often enough, I think. People like to keep from going too stir-crazy, and there are lots of us here who just love hanging out with others. It's less like a prison sometimes and more like-- [ She puts a finger to her chin, coming away with a bit of blue on the tip as she points upward. ] A melting pot!

	[A smile.] Both! Color me curious, but I've never heard of a prison that throws parties. [Twists off the cap of the nail polish and starts applying some to her left hand.] Do you like it here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I try to hold a spa like this every few weeks. As far as I know, no one had thought of it before, and no one else runs anything like it... [ She pauses, thinking it over. ] Unless the men have something similar, since we can filter messages.

[ Jeanne giggles. ] I think it's just the holidays, really, that bring out the party spirit in people! There might even be one for the Academy -- kind of like a prom! -- once the weather is nicer. [ Her expression dims a bit. ] It's only too bad that Euphie and Ribbons aren't here to enjoy that.

[ Oh, but she shouldn't be thinking about that. She walks a short distance away to the sink to begin washing the mask from her face. ]
