open 🌸 all day
[Certainly it’s been a few weeks of bad luck, hasn’t it? First, all that rain, then all that sickness… wow, you must need a break, right?

Luckily for you, it seems Miracle Country wants to make amends for the harsh month. Really, the usyagi just want you to relax!

There’s a new path in the forest today. If you follow it, you’ll find yourself coming upon some natural hot springs— deep, calming pools spread out throughout the forest, tucked between pockets of trees and bamboo, some wildflowers and floating cherry blossoms. With little wisps of steam rising up over the tree line, comfortable rocks to lounge on, and more than enough space for everyone, it’s an open invitation for some relaxation. Overall, it looks inviting and soothing, and don’t you just want to relax, if only for a moment?

The Usyagi are looking out for you, too, as you’ll find some towels and robes, and some naturally growing bamboo for privacy when changing, or if you just want to be alone.

So lean back, relax, and let your thoughts drift in the calming, mineral-rich water. Let the tension soak out of your shoulders. Prop your feet up. Just forget for a moment.]

	It's the same as nothing. [He has nothing nearby to throw around, so he just grabs his cap and throws it at the ground, angrily.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Raises her eyebrows at that. But really, that's relatively tame in comparison to Lucifer's various reactions to things that she isn't that taken aback by the angry outburst.] I know it's frustrating, but... I don't think it is. In this situation, it's easy to fall into despair and feel like it's hopeless. So this is a way to keep that from happening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He needs about another season and a half before he can not immediately give in to despair.] I don't want hope, I want to go back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohdetective 2018-05-10 04:03 am UTC (link)
	I can't give you either of those things. [She can't force the first, after all, and she can't help with the second. She understands the frustration, though; hope's all well and good, but most of the time it is just words, not actions.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apparently, no one can. [Goes grab his cap back, patting it very. aggressively. to get rid of dirt.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Chloe Decker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_better 2018-05-10 04:12 am UTC (link)
	Right. Do you have anyone you care about, Decker? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohdetective 2018-05-10 04:14 am UTC (link)
	Of course I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good. If they got lost, and were in danger, would you be happy to sit around in a pocket dimension and drink? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

People cope the only way they know how. Just because people are doing something else doesn't mean they aren't worrying about the people they care. Just because I'm standing here talking to you [who is hardly a conversationalist] doesn't mean I'm not also worrying every moment my daughter is away from me.

It'd be easy for me to sit and do nothing but that. You do the best you can here.

	[Rubs at his face, frustrated and. sad. How did he end up like this.] How long have you been here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohdetective 2018-05-10 04:35 am UTC (link)
	You're not going to like the answer. [S- sigh.] It's been a few months since I came back here. [But even longer since, she had to have come here and left and come back again, so.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Twists the cap in his hands so hard it looks like he wants to rip it half.] Months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's a bar here. I think Lucifer should be there now, so it should be open. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
