Welcome to Clean Street [Open!]

[morphitudinous]

Down on the city level, right by the Kohaku River and near the imposing castle, a modern-looking white building welcomed one and all to its promise of running water and warmth. Maybe even a little socializing was in order.

The ramp led up to the heated roof level, where one and all could sit down and relax in an almost sauna-like environment. Below, corridors contained plenty of towels, places to leave clothes, quick showers, and the baths, a number of them sized for any and all comers.

The private areas were accessed through separate corridors on the outside, but the busier communal baths were just as warm and welcoming. Anyone of any size or species was welcome here, so long as they behaved themselves.

[ooc: it's mingling party post time! Just start a thread or hop in one, and note if your character's in a single sex bath, co-ed, or the sauna level upstairs. My characters will be here to meet some people too.]

Shoutarou makes a slightly comical annoyed face at the bubbles and the smell that comes with them, swatting them away.

This is not hard-boiled at all.

[morphitudinous]

Billy looks up to see another new visitor...someone he'd met over the comm network, maybe? He nods, making an attempt at swatting.

"The bubble dispenser had a malfunction today. It wouldn't stop," Billy explained, not exactly happy to be covered in scented bubbles either.

[thisclinchesit]

A nod, then a sigh. "I see. It could be worse, though. Probably won't hear the end of it from Hoshi or Philip though if I run into them later." He chuckles faintly, poking at a few bubbles to pop them idly.

[morphitudinous]

"Then you must be Shoutarou," Billy deduced, a faint smile on his face. "I don't think you have to worry. I know Phillip and Hoshi, and they're both good people. They'll eventually relent."

Key word: eventually.

[thisclinchesit]

Another chuckle. "My reputation precedes me - hopefully a good one." Hearing some praise for Philip made him a bit proud, though. "Eventually. It's getting to that point that's the tricky part," he answers, grinning a little.

[morphitudinous]

"You'll survive," Billy was sure. "I've never known those two to hold out too long."

Oh---by the way, he hadn't quite introduced himself. "Uh...right, I'm Billy! The co-head of Engineering, I think I exchanged comm messages with you once."

[thisclinchesit]

Shoutarou thought for a moment, then nodded sharply. "Ah yeah, you told me about the Sensoriums." His eyes widen for a moment, then he grins. "Those things are something else, to say the least."

[morphitudinous]

"Oh, I'm glad to hear it," Billy glanced over, adjusting his shoulders to hit the rock just right. Ah, that felt better. "You were training there, right? I've done that, but I've usually had an audience to tell me how much I've screwed up."

[thisclinchesit]

"Learning where you're lacking is part of it, though. Can't improve if you don't know what to train, after all." Shoutarou twists his neck around a bit until it pops, then sinks down in the water a bit more.

[morphitudinous]

"That's true, it's been quite helpful. I just don't mind some time to myself." Billy paused, realizing his new company, then waved his hand---inadvertently shooting bubbles toward Shoutarou. "But I'm fine with company at the moment. I was hoping you all would enjoy this."

[thisclinchesit]

Shoutarou nods, deflecting the bubbles a bit with a faint wave of his hand. "It's pretty nice. Might have to come out here more often."
