Lucreshia walked slowly looking at Tam who seemed to be over excited about his first and she promised to make completely sure that it would be his only win. She instantly felt the warm breeze of water coming over her face. She could feel the aura's of so many people that her jewel started to flash red but was quickly over taken by a blue flash the nulled her back to the black jewel. She smiled and giggled looking around the area. Wow this is nice, so this is where all the students come to relax. Maybe she would find the kid that the stranger wanted her to dispose of. She continued walking down the stone walk way her heels clacking against them with every step. She still wondered how she would get around it. She had no problem with water, it was not like she or her blades would rust.
"Oh this is nice. This school has everything doesn't it? Srong people, places to relax after long battles or classes. Its all so very interesting." She brushes some of her hair back looking at Tam as she walked past and into the entrace of the springs. "So? What are we waiting for lets go. I don't think I've ever been to a hotspring before, it looks fun." Now...she hoped there wasn't a no weapon rule here...she herself was well...a weapon of sorts it would be hard wouldn't it? She gazed at herself weapons everywhere. She looked at her arm, the blade vanishing completely, the blades that made the heels of her boots also vanishing. It had been a long time since she had...wait...since when was she able to hide her weapons...huh...strange oh well as long as it got her into the springs she could figure it out later.

Glissa landed at the entrance to the hot springs, last out of the trio, her lip curling at the mere thought. True, her wings were sore from the battle with Tam, but that was no excuse for the to lag behind so much. She should have pused harder... But, it was in the past. Now she could relax a bit and enjoy the hot springs. Whe walked thruough the lobby, the warm breeze caressed her skin, its soothing feeling taking affect already. Slowly she walked up next to Lucreshia, staring at her now vanishing weapons and armor.
"Thats a neat little trick you have there." Her wings folded against her back and began to meld back into her flesh.
"Oh, and Tam. Good race." She glanced back to the feline anthros, and fake smile plastered on her face. If she wanted to keep allies, she would have to feign kindness, just like her mother had said. Surface dwelers don't take well to a demons' gruff attitude.
((ps: which hot springs are we going to? The seperate girls/guys only ones, or the shared one? XP ))

((You know thats a great question))
Lucreshia smiled as Glissa was finally the last one to come. Now the gang was all here and they could go inside. She smiled and looked over herself, noticing her armor too was vanishing accept something that left itself looking like a type of bathing suit to cover her more private areas. Well that answered her question...she would have to go get some of those clothes things the people wore.
"Oh thanks...funny thing is...I don't remember ever being able to do that before."She smiled with a bit of confusion on her face as she looked over the more exposed tan skin that was her body. "I think I may need some clothes soon if this keeps up" she said with another confused look on her face. "So, what are we waiting for? Are we going to the hot springs or not?

As he saw the other two come up he jumped up from where he sat to stand along side them. Hearing glissa's word, he couldn't help, but feel some other feelings of resentment behind it. Shrugging he glanced at both of them as they discussed about which one to go in.
"Why hte mixed of course, nyu! Where everyone hangs out!", he said astonished tath tey didn't know where to go. Turning away from them he put both arms behind him as he walked briskly into the changing room as he passed as sign that read. "Appropriate clothing please" or something along the lines of that. Shrugging he reached into a locker where he stashed his things from his previous visits and unbuckled his belt. Throwing it in there was alound "bang" as metal hit metal.
Looking over his shoulder he wondered where they could've gone or rather what was taking them so long. Untying his hair he threw the little hair band in as well.

Lucreshia happily walked into the female changing room. She read the sign and then looked at herself. Well the privates were covered but...hmm She looked around none of these girls were in her size. She was hoping to "borrow" one of theirs for the time being but...sigh. She looked for quiet sometime before she found some of the spare towels and cover ups, she quickly changed into them and smiled at Glissa. Well everything looked in order. She gave herself a once over before heading out to the springs. The stones were warm against her now bare feet this gave her quiet the shock at first but she recovered. Oh...so thats what that feels like.
Giggling, she looked around for Tam, spoting the cat boy quickly....huh so he hates dogs but doesn't care about getting wet...what odd creatures. She srugged it off and hurried over. She dipped her toe in first. Ah! So thats why its called a hot spring. She tried again slowly lowering her whole body in this time. Never had she felt this before. It felt really...really....nice.

Glissa followed Lu into the changing room. Small cubbys lined the walles on both sides of the small room. Several other girls in the room were changing into swiming suits before running outside to the springs. So, Glissa followed suit. She took off her sword and unbuckled her rifle, stoeing both in a spare cubby. After that she held an open palm over her stomach. Slender tendrils of magic streamed out of her fingertips and snaked their way unseed under her dress. And lastly she pulled off her boots and slipped out of her leather dress. Under her dress was the new, and rather skimpy outfit that resembled a bakini. She tossed her boots and dress into the cubby and walked over to to basket of towels and grabbed one, throwing it over her shoulder.
Lu was already out in the water, along with Tam, and Glissa wandered out. They looked like they were enjoying it, so it couldn't be all that dangerous. She walked up to the edge of the water and dipped her hand in. It felt nice, especialy on the burned and sliced part of her palm. She set her towel down by the edge and sat down, legs dangling into the water.

Blowing splashing water about he ducked his head into the water as he blew bubbles watching them rise slowly as he felt the heat of the water relax his muscles. Smiling fondly of the area now he pulled his head out of the water as he splashed water about his hair all over the place. Smiling he glanced about to see if anyone else was there. No one else in the mixed although he could here people in the female area. Feeling a little dazed from the steam he rested his head on the ledge of the hotspring as he began to nibble on his own tail, with his hair plastered to his back partialy covering his odd tattoos. Closing his eyes he let himself relax as his right arm's texture and colour slowly began to change into it's true metallic state. Yawing he looked back at the other two through the steam and then up at the blue yonder. =3=

Lucreshia smiled as she stared at Tam with an arched brow. What a strange and childish werecat if she had ever seen any. She herself was enjoying this strange thing called a hotspring. It soothed her musles, her body felt warm and relaxed, it made her completely forget the new configurations of her body that left her with an armor looking bikini. She smiled and splashed the water around as she looked up at the sky then to her friends.
"This is really nice. I barely knew that these things existed." She smiled watching some of the steam rising up into the sky.

"To tell the truth, I've never even BEEN in these hot springs before!" She said, grinning wildly, waving her arms about crazily like a little kid. Eventually, she calmed down, bringing them to her thighs as she lay against one of the walls, blowing bubbles into the water with her mouth. Of course, she recieved more than one look of insanity from the other girls, mostly those who seemed to think they were better than her; in return, she gave them a nasty glare, and they looked at her once more, raising their eyebrows and then turning away, chatting once again in their cliques.
Isn't the hot spring... a place to relax...? Nobara thought to herself as she shrugged underwater and let her hair glide along the water effortlessly. It seemed to have grown longer lately... she probably needed to get it cut once again. Sighing happily, she waded over to Rachel, leaning against the wall next to her. "Well... at least this place isn't as bad as so many places on campus..."

Rachel nodded, leaning against the wall and sliding down into the water until just her head was poking above the surface. Eyes closed, she smiled contentedly as Nobara waded over closer to where she was sitting. "Yeah..." she said quietly, in a relaxed tone of voice. "This is my first time here, too. But I'm thinking we definitely need to come back more often."
This was the most relaxed Rachel had been since arriving at Ria - it seemed like every time she tried to calm herself down and live normally, something crazy managed to crop up. Of course, some of it was good crazy - after all, if she hadn't had that fight with Seiya at the mall, she never would have been able to become friends with Nobara. And the whole thing with Graymalk... well, she wasn't quite sure how that was going to turn out just yet, but at least it seemed interesting so far.
"So, I think this is a pretty good chance..." Rachel said, opening her eyes and turning her head to look over at Nobara. "What do you say we play the 'get to know each other' game? I ask questions, you ask questions, we do the whole bonding thing and walk away with a deeper understanding of each other, yadda yadda..." She gave a sort of silly smirk. "After all, we should know more about each other if we're going to be fighting together, right?"

By this time Nobara's hands were leaning against the wall, and she looked like she was in a bath, not a hot spring. Certainly she didn't know what to do under these circumstances. In fact, the only time she had ever gone to a hot spring was with her family when she was five, right after they'd started their new company. She was just splashing around like a crazy little kid.. but that was another story.
Closing her eyes, she listened to Rachel's request, and wiffed her hand in the air casually and cool, as if she knew exactly what was going on. "Yeah, that game. I used to do that all the time with my old friends..." she said, bringing one hand up to her mouth and yawning. "Hot springs make me sleepy... anyway, you wanna go first? It's no skin off my back."
Sinking lower into the water, Nobara ducked her head under after taking a short breath and then came back up, looking up at the sky. She definitely needed to do this more often...

A little girl, who looked no more than six or seven, could be found sprinting into the hot springs, looking over her shoulder and giggling. She ceased her running and looked around. "He'll never find me in here." she giggled, cupping her hands over her mouth. SHe looked down at her attire- a pale, light yellow shirt with white shorts and white, velcro-strap sandals. "Oops!" she exclaimed, running into the changing room. 'Good thing I have my bathing suit underneath!' she thought as she stripped down to her light pink one-piece. She then walked back out, looking around. Her fox tail swished behind her as she bit her lip, looking around. She saw two girls sitting in a hot spring and smiled, skipping over to them. She bent down, smiling. "May I please join you?" she asked, her fox ears twitching.

Rachel fell silent for a few moments, thinking. She was sort of hoping Nobara would go first - she'd talked a lot about herself back at the training hall already, and that's when it occurred to her that she knew barely anything at all about her new friend. All she knew was that her family was rich, but that it wasn't always that way, and that Nobara got a lot of money from her grandmother's inheritance.
"Well..." she started slowly. "You already know all sorts of crap about my family, so I'll spare you the boredom." Laughing a little to herself, she winked back at Nobara. "About me, though..." Another pause. "My hobbies are building computers, reading, playing the piano, and gardening. I guess I probably like science fiction and fantasy novels the best, and classical music is my favorite."
Smiling tentatively, she paused again, hoping that this would be enough to spur Nobara to start talking about herself a little bit. She seemed so mysterious, like she never wanted to talk about herself, despite her otherwise seemingly open nature. Rachel really hoped she could crack the shell and actually learn something about her friend this time.

"Hrm... I guess first I'll go on about what I like... um, for some reason, I really really REALLY like octopi.. I don't know why, they're just so cute. Back when I was a girl... my whole room had cute little octopi around it..." Rachel would probably think this was totally weird, but Nobara didn't really care; as much as it hurt her to think this, nothing was as weird and yet cool as Rachel's power, so much couldn't probably faze her.
"As you know, I love to arch... but I also like... shopping and doing hair and dressing up... I'm a girly girl at heart, even though one wouldn't know it by looking at how I act... I absolutely DESPISE cleaning, and I also like... to... make stuff. Just like crafts and things." Nobara shrugged, it wasn't much about her, but it was a start. She was so used to following her own friends back in her town that she didn't really know WHAT she liked. Maybe that was the reason she was so outgoing now at her new school, she didn't want to be pushed around again.
Another small girl had walked up next to them, and Nobara only grinned, nodding and then looking to Rachel. "If it's okay with you... can she hang with us? We can still talk." She said, tilting her head to the side, her wet hair hanging in front of her face.

"Octipi?" Rachel asked, cocking her head to the side and giving sort of an amused smile. "That's kind of a strange animal for a girl to like... somehow, though, it suits you." She laughed a little at this. "It's... like, you're always saying something unexpected. Nothing wrong with being a little different."
Geez, listen to you, Rachel. You're starting to sound like your mom, she thought, not able to help but smile a little. She'd so be yelling 'HYPOCRITE' right about now.
"So, crafts, huh?" Rachel asked. "What kind of stuff do you make? I've never been that good with my hands..." She paused, reflecting on the strangeness of this statement. "Well, at least with stuff like that, anyway. It's just been computers and the piano for me. Get me in front of anything with keys, really, and I'm good to go."
She then turned to the girl that had decided to join them, wondering briefly if Nobara had some sort of little kid attracting power that she wasn't aware of just yet. Shrugging, she settled back into the water, waving a hand. "I don't mind if you don't," she said.
