[ Hello buddies! This is a short ship exploration event that we have prepared for you, as both of you have submitted into our ship exploration mechanic. What this means is that you have both been RNG'd together to experience this particular part of the ship.
As it is memory share week, we have decided to try and ease the lift that extra threads can cause during this particular weekly effect and will instead be writing up a straight encounter that requires no replies on your part, though you may RP out the scenario in a PC if you so desire. If you have any questions about this particular "encounter" please feel free to talk to us in your mod DMs! That being said, let's roll. ]
Description of the location: The spa and salon are here to relax the Eudora's crew after a very long day of work. There are luxuriously padded chairs lined up by mirrors with a full array of scissors, combs, razors, and other hair-trimming implements. On a large, wall-length shelf is a selection of nail lacquers in every color you can imagine. Go on, treat yourself. None of the scissors, or any other sharp implements, may leave the room they are in and will immediately magnetize to the doorway if you attempt to take them out.
If you take a seat at any of the vanities without someone else, you'll find your makeup and hair being done for you - and maybe not in a style that you were planning on. Careful, now! You might be bibbidi bobbidi booped into a princess or done up in a full face of skull makeup.
A hallway at the very end of the salon reveals on one side a comfortable lounging space for spa treatments (including cucumber slices) and massages. The other side leads to the indoor hot spring and sauna, where you can let all of your concerns melt away. An attempt to create a relaxing atmosphere and ambiance has been made, filtering light, sound, and smells in between the steamy air depending on what you desire. There are towels and spare bathing suits for modesty (speedos and one pieces), all of them emblazoned, embarrassingly, with PROPERTY OF THE CSS EUDORA. Guess you might want to head to the Strip Mall if you want other options...
Diluc and Dion will find themselves wandering the halls of the Eudora's enrichment concourse on Tuesday evening. Their feet will carry them to the Luxurious Venus combination spa & hot springs that has finally opened up for the use of the crew, especially after a hard day's work! It doesn't seem like anyone is currently here, taking advantage of the treatments offered, in fact, it's almost eerily empty. You guys didn't mean to come here for a cute 1:1 spa date, did you?
The further they enter, the more heightened the distinct sensation of being watched becomes. It isn't long before a song begins to filter in through the speakers overhead, thrumming through the walls The mirrors stationed around the salon portion of the spa itself seem to shudder, shimmer, and if gazed upon too long, will begin to morph your features in the reflection into those of loved ones, into those who you have the deepest regrets. They gaze upon you with eyes that are full of malice, anguish, judgment, and desperation. Their hands bang against the mirrors, claw at them until their touch is bloodied from within the glass. Harder and harder they scratch and pound against the mirror glass, the lights dimming and the sclera of their eyes shining wet and hungry.
Whispers surround the two of them, and while one would think it'd be easy to simply walk the fuck right out of here, it isn't. It's suddenly black, pitch black, all the lights off, everything silent.
And then, in familiar voices, voices of the past, voices of those you long for, voices of who you miss the most:
And we passed through the cavern of rats. And we passed through the path of boiling steam. And we passed through the country of the blind. And we passed through the slough of despond. And we passed through the vale of tears. And we came, finally, to the ░̛͘͝░̶͠░̵̡͜͜░̸̷̨͟░̛͘͝░̶͠░̵̡͜͜░̸̷̨͟.
The ground tremors beneath your feet, briefly — and then. The dark lifts, the lights overhead flickering back to life and the faces of those lost to you, here or long ago, are gone. You are left alone with your thoughts as suddenly a table full of magazines falls over in the last of the settling, spreading magazines all over the place... and also a beat up data pad.
[ and that is the end of the encounter! you may play this out however you like in a PC, but if you do intend to do damage to the area/break anything, just place it in location changes and ping your mods with a link to your reply so that we can record it in a timely fashion. they will find that after the salon has once again ceased it's strange fit... that a beat up data pad is theirs for the taking. you may take this tablet and share the information on it with other members of the crew at their discretion, though we would like to see this information make the rounds at least a few times! ]
