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.]

This battle seemed as downhill as the Nova battle... and they were losing against them. She really hoped she hadn't escaped one impending doom to land in another. It wouldn't do any good for her to lose again... she loathed that feeling.

"I appreciate the information miss Rein." She paused for a moment remembering she hadn't introduced herself.

"My apologies, I forgot to introduce myself," Not that she had had any intention too since she had thought she was leaving the moment someone joined her but, it seemed this wasn't bad, and the girl was keeping her distance.

"My name's Satellizer el Bridget." She hated her surname... but it was one she'd carry proudly as a mark on her life.

"Satelliz... wow, you've got quite the name. Can I just call you by a nickname or something?" inquired Rein.

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

"A nickname?" It wasn't proper to be called by one... not in public anyways.

She thought for a moment, "I'd rather not go by one, but my mother and" friends? She had no friends... "Used to call me Satella."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Well what about in private? Satella is a pretty name," said Rein confidently.

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

"I... I s-suppose I don't m-mind..." No! You are not supposed to make the Untouchable Queen get shy! It doesn't work that way Rein!

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

Tough! You are within range of her divination field! Rein bombards you with adorable and moe!

"Heeee, Satella it is then, Satella-chan!"

Beaming at 5 million watts of cute!

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

Oh gods the horror!

Satella blushed and sunk in a bit more into the hot tub.

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

Rein giggled and leaned back. Sometimes it paid to make friends again!

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

Satella shifted a few times, wondering what she should do in the company of others.

"S-so you seem at ease... but I guess there's no point in worrying about things unless they come at you. What do you do around this ship...." Ship... this was much much larger than any ship she had ever heard of.

"I work as one of the bridge crew with the communications, but for the most part, I run my clothing store. Well, store would be a general term since I just ask for help around the place per outfit made." said Rein. "I'm just usually goofing off. Which reminds me I'm probably going to have to do maintenance on the girls devices again soon."

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

"That sounds normal eno-" Wait, "Maintenance on the girls devices?" Now she was curious.

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, the girls from my world, at least the mages, use devices to help perform magic. I'm actually one of them, and I'm usually really small. But lately I've been spending a lot of time in big mode."

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

Big mode? "So, what would be your actual size then?" she asked curiously, looking at the girl before her.

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"At usual size, just under a foot. Somewhere around six inches give or take," replied Rein.

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

Satella gasped and looked at Rein confused. "Really? That small? That's... How do you do it?"

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Magic," replied Rein, wiggling her fingers as she glowed and the next thing they knew, Rein was sitting on the top of the hot tub wall as she crossed her legs, leaning back at her usual pocket size. "See? It's a little conversion of energy and mass trick. Agito and I know how to do it but I've had more reason to stay in big which honestly, isn't too tall."

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

Satella leaned forward, entirely intrigued. "Whoa, that's really interesting. I didn't think magic existed, but ever since I got to this ship the prospect of magic is more and more apparent."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Yeah the way we do it is channeling linker core energy, aka magic, through a series of complex mathematical calculations for desired results such as heat and electricity. I use ice myself, and well, it's complicated. Can I get back in? It's getting cool." asked Rein, moving to jump back in again.

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah, go ahead." Satella sat back on her spot and nodded. This place was full of odd and interesting people and creatures... If she hadn't already pinched herself, she'd think she was dreaming.

But then again, in her world, no one thought alien invaders were possible. Let alone that it'd be teenage girls that were the only force that could have a fighting chance. Sure they weren't normal teenage girls, but the imagery was just insane back then...

Back then.... it seems so long ago already...

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

Growing back to her big mode, she slipped in with a sigh. "Satella-chan, can I ask what your home was like?"

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

Satella looked at Rein for a few moments before looking back at the water in thought.

"It was just a normal world really... It seems it was the same earth as some of the people around here and yet... still different." She paused for a moment.

"Well it was normal... until the Novas invaded. We hardly knew anything about them other than they were from another dimension and were here to destroy our world."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"That's a admittedly familiar notion," said Rein, shaking her head. "What is it with earth getting attacked?"

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

"I have no clue... but in all the movies it's always the same... i guess they were just a glimpse of what was to come."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"It really must be a weirdness magnet," replied Rein.

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

"That, or there's more to earth than anyone ever knew... Regardless, it seems like we all failed in our task of protecting our own world and now we're given a second chance to rectify that."

And Satellizer was hell bent on doing just that. She wouldn't lose again!
