Hot Springs

Dantalion

You head back into the common room. You hear the woman walk over and dig her knives out of the doorframe behind you.

Nothing in the common room has changed. Poofy hat and flatstache are gesturing at each other. They seem to be having an enthralling conversation.

There's separate changing rooms for men and women, so how is everyone splitting up? Are you going to follow the signs or scoff at the rules?

You and Tab head into the men's room. Leone seems hesitant to go into the women's room alone, but cautiously pokes her head in.

No one is in here. There's plenty of lockers, towels, and spare bathing suits, as well as a few benches.

Two doors exit the room on the other side. One is labeled men's bath. The other is marked as mixed bathing.

You push open the door and step out towards the communal pool.  You immediately get sprayed with a huge wave of piping-hot water.

You're on a small wooden porch.  Entrances back into either changing room are very clearly labeled behind you.  A large stone pool of steaming water is sitting ahead of you.  Tall walls separate either side, presumably blocking off the men and women's private baths.

A wolf-tailed man in a swimsuit is sitting on the edge across from you.  He's wagging his tail happily and cheering.  Beside him is a short, blocky guy with wavy, brown hair and brown eyes.  He's holding a rod and seems to be... fishing.

A pair of women stare at each other on either side of the pool.  One has shoulder-length orange hair, and the other has a blonde ponytail.  They're both dressed in swimsuits and holding red-and-white balls.  The source of the splash seems to have been a fat, pink... cow... monstrosity belly flopping into the pool as it chases a blue... frog... human... creature.

"Jiggles, Rollout!" the blonde calls.

"Greninja, Water Shuriken!"


Floyd walks out into the men's pool to find two things he probably wasn't expecting.  One is a sizable robot over twice his size.  It has a golden face, black frame, and red chest, as well as blocky golden wings.

The other is a black-winged woman in a green-and-white dress with a giant bow in her hair.  A cape draped partially over her wings and sweeping around her frame shows planets and stars.  She has a large, red, eyeball-looking jewel on her chest and a cannon wrapped around her right arm.  Her eyes are glowing red and she's in the middle of enjoying a maniacal laugh.

You take a seat and watch the battle for a bit. The 'jiggles' creature seems start out at a disadvantage, largely because of the water. It starts rolling around, picking up speed until it's cutting through the water and shrugging off the frog-thing's attacks.

Leone wanders out wrapped in a bath towel, only to get hit by hit by a wave as the cow-beast turns.

She pulls her hair out of her face and looks around, confused, until she spots you. She jogs over and takes a seat near to you, dipping her legs in the bath. "This is... safe for us to watch right?" she asks. You notice that other than the towel, she's only wearing her choker.

The wolf-man continues to cheer for whatever side seems to be winning at the time. The man next to him continues to fish. He seems to have caught a rock.


As soon as Floyd announces his presence, the lady stops laughing. As soon as he stops talking, the lady levels her arm cannon at him and the tip starts glowing.

The robot is unresponsive.

Portals... Jeez, I missed a lot here. An inactive one in both the kitchen and the men's bath, and an active one in the communal pool. Showing a lake of lava.

"Well now you have no privacy" Floyd remarks as be tosses the door knob at the angry bird-lady before retreating swiftly into the mixed baths

"I see well this can't last too much longer" Dandy says before the explosion sounds off "Or not sounds like we might be in for more excitement" which is when Floyd enters the baths "Boss, we got a crazy bird lady with an arm cannon and she's not happy" Floyd calls out "Yeah, no relaxing baths just yet" Dantalion comments as he gets to his feet.
