Billy had just launched another portal in that maze of mazes, exhaustion setting in. Surely this time he would land on another moving platform of death?

Nope, just the exterior of the finished bathhouses. All polished, systems running, and just about ready to open! Given how sore and exhausted he was, that sounded like an excellent idea at the moment.

With a quick message to the rest of the crew, he set out the 'Open' sign for the first time and took advantage of his owner status---the prime waterfall spot could be his!

((ooc: The bathhouses are now open! Feel free to mingle around, relax, and have a party. Or cause trouble, but that might invite more trouble. Just start a subthread with your character's location and have fun. For reference there are individual showers in front, followed by hot tubs centrally located, saunas further back, and private baths along the side. The showers, tubs, and saunas have smaller sex-segregated units along with a central group unit that's larger.))

Since Sasami was the first friend she made, Hoshi couldn't help but join her in the baths when they were finished. She had her hair out of the usual headband she had as well as a towel wrapped around her.

Although, she was hoping that no one noticed the rather awful scarring on her arm from when she had to get the surgery necessary to repair it. Although, that was in the past now. It was time to focus on the future.

"Sasami!" she called out, waving her arm while she swam over to her. "Thanks for inviting me!"

"Hoshi!" Sasami called out, noticing Hoshi join her. Waving her over, she moved to join her, hugging her friend. "Isn't this wonderful?"

Hoshi wrapped her arms around Sasami, smiling warmly. "It is! It's really wonderful to have something like this on the ship!"

"It is, isn't it?" Sasami said. "We could easily create one in the Sensoriums, but it just doesn't feel right."

Pulling away, she moved back to her spot near the outside to relax. "I think we all needed this..."

"Sensoriums?"

Hoshi followed her to the spot and smiled, closing her eyes a bit when she relaxed a little bit. "Yeah... I'll get behind that."

"Mmn, it's... kind of hard to explain what they are. It's like those shows where they have those rooms that can create anything you want and it would be like that..." Sasami said, failing miserably at trying to describe the Sensoriums.

In some way, Hoshi got the gist of what the Sensoriums were.

"Oh, so... like a simulation, but not?"

"Yeah, that's it! Something like that!" she said, nodding. "It's great for certain things, but not for everything, though."

"I can understand that. It's better to not let what's not actually there confuse you for reality, after all." Another tidbit of wisdom from her!

"Exactly! Though... makes you wonder if people stay in there too long..." Oddball thought to think of, but it did make sense.

"Well, it's a valid concern." It made sense to her!

Sasami nodded as she moved herself closer to Hoshi. Perhaps it was their little bonding they did, but she couldn't help but stay close to the girl.

Hoshi moved her arm to wrap it around Sasami to hold her close to her. She smiled, not at all minding about the lack of personal space. She definitely felt close to her.

Sasami's eyes closed a bit as Hoshi wrapped her arm around her, letting out a soft sigh. She felt safe like this...

"Sorry if I bothering you like this..." Sasami uttered. "I'm just a bit tired from everything..."

"You're not a bother at all," Hoshi reassured her with a soft smile. It was like she told herself. She would try to protect Sasami at all costs.

"If you want to sleep, go ahead. I'll probably take you home after a bit and put you to bed, if you wanna do that."

"Okay..." Sasami said, nodding. After awhile, though, she did end up passing out, the excitement and work from the past few days finally catching up to her.

"Sleep well," Hoshi whispered gently. After a while, she decided to go take her home and get her tucked into bed.
