[CLOSED] Tidal Waves At The Tolbana Hot Spring

[Rue]

(( Astiam will be skipped and will receive the wrath of the white witch ))

Rue's blade made contact with the young man's inner thigh, unhindered. Their must of been some semblance of humanity in Rue's livid mind. Before the blade made contact she turned it on it's side. The loud echoed in the room as the younger man recoiled in pain, however Rue was not done. Rotating the blade around his covered area, Rue raised the blade and struck at the man's left side another slap rang through the room. Rue's dim cold and ruthless eye still focused in on her target, he light controlled breath in an out acted like a clock as the man counted the breaths as hours. lifting the blade up she smashed the blade into his underarm throwing him off balance. Curving the blade around the failing man's arms she smacked his neck then turned the blade around and smashed the pommle of the blade into the middle of his chest. The man flew out of the room as he yell and gasped for air, crashing into the attendant's welcoming desk. The desk splinters and creaks under the weight of the man.

Rue slides her blade, back into her sheath and dresses herself looking up she noticed that her diamond went from green to yellow. Sitting on bench as she slides her boots on her feet, Her anger weakens and her tone drops to mild annoyance. " I'm going to go talk to the attendant, about this whole situation. Your the more injury party of the event so i'll let you decide the punishment. Standing up she steps down on her boots and flattens her clothes, strapping her shield to her right arm and her sword around her waist she walks out of the washing room.

As Rue walked out of the room she saw the man crumbled over the destroyed desk thankfully his towel and clothes covered his shame. Ignoring the man and walking over to the attendant who was surprised by the man's sudden entry. The attendant looked to Rue and saw her blazing amber eyes and cold merciless expression. She bowed to Rue and apologized, " I'm so sorry miss I did not see him come in, and I did not know you were still in the washing room when I sent him out". Rue's expression did not change as she spoke with a commanding tone, " It does not matter how it  happen now, all that matters is what to do about it. My friend did not come out of this event as lucky as I so I will defer to her judgment when she finishes getting dressed". Rue's hair still dripped as the women waited for Janeiro to defer judgment.

[Janeiro]

Janeiro double-checked her clothes and exhaled slowly to calm herself. It did not help with her feeling of disgust, sticking to her as if she had bathed in waste instead of a relaxing hot spring. Thankfully towns were a safe zone, so she would not have to worry about Rue going overboard when attacking the blonde boy. Although he deserved it of course. Janeiro wished there would be even more clothes she could cover herself with at that moment. When Rue returned to her she noticed the yellow crystal. She felt bad for having Rue being marked like that for Janeiro's sake.

Looking down Janeiro had to think for a moment which form and amount of punishment she found appropriate. It was a weird power to have and she didn't like being the judge in this case. What if he went after other girls the same way... She shook her head slightly. "Let's leave him be and hope he learned his lesson. He will build up a bad reputation soon enough if he continues to act like that. And not having friends in this world is already pretty dire." Janeiro hoped she would remember to keep a blacklist once she would open her shop. Her eyes looked up and to the pale Rue again. "Somehow you always rescue me," she said in a rather neutral tone, pointing out that curiosity. She already knew Rue did not really like being thanked.

Returning back to the lobby she saw another boy and froze for a second. Right, here it was okay. She was dressed, he was dressed. Snap out of it. She reminded herself to act normal but still tried to avoid contact for now, only nodding slightly towards Angelo as a greeting.

[Angelo]

The commotion seemingly settled after a long amount of minutes, Angelo simply stood outside hoping everything was going alright inside the female's room. Finally, something changed. A naked man came crashing out of the female's room. The boy stood there in shock as he watched what transpired from the sidelines. A young girl fully clothed angrily came out of the room and talked with the attendant. The attendant on the other hand kept bowing her head and apologizing for what transpired. Angelo moved his eyes from the two females back to the man and back to the two.

The white-haired teen bit his lip hard before muttering under his breath. "Perverts like you give us (men) a bad name.."

Disappointment at the man showed on Angelo's face. It quickly disappeared when a black-haired girl exited the changing room into the lobby. He couldn't help but keep his eyes off her. Something about her piqued his interest. Was it her long black hair? The way she appeared, steam billowing out behind her? Or was he just caught up in the moment that he failed to see that he was staring at her without saying a word? He subconsciously compared her physique to his girlfriend Akane's, noticing the similarities and differences between the two.

Why am I even comparing the two.. this is wrong..

It has been a long time since he last saw Akane.. Perhaps he simply missed seeing his girlfriend. Staring into Janeiro's blue, downcast eyes, he got the feeling that her past experiences with men have been less than stellar, especially after this incident. However, no matter what happened, he still had to ask. He took two steps towards the black-haired girl and the aquamarine-haired girl and tried to get their attention.

"I'm sorry if I caught you at a bad time, but do you know anyone by the name of Haruka?" Angelo was talking about his sister's real name because he did not know what her in-game name was. Whether or not he received a yes or no answer, he would politely bow his head and say thank you, giving her a quick smile before picking up and throwing the naked man out of the bath house. Then again, if Janeiro or Rue did say yes, he would have to press forward with his inquiry, but the answer was probably no.

He picked up the perverted nude and threw him out of the bathhouse before turning around and headed into the men's side. As soon as he got away from view, Angelo sighed rather loudly. His head started becoming fuzzy because of all the steam. Yes, let's blame his adolescence on steam. He blinked away his thoughts about the black-haired female he just met and proceeded to get ready to enter the hot spring. Once thoroughly cleaned, Angelo slowly dipped himself into the hot water as his stress and worries melted away, if only temporarily. All he could think about was Akane and the time they spent together in a similar place.

Half an hour passed and the white-haired teen got dressed and got ready to leave. He gave the attendant a small bow and a thank you before leaving the establishment. Back to the 'real world' of Aincrad.

[Exit]

[Rue]

Rue looked to the long black haired girl with astonishment. Rue wiped the water for her forehead, maybe rushing out was not the best idea. The small girl was still fairly damp. In her rage she did not think to dry herself. Focusing back on to what Janeiro said. Leave him be and it's dire for a person to be alone in this world, more so for one with a tainted record. Rue thought back on her actions. She was rather stand offish and serious, and not very friendly. Still though with all of her quirks she still managed to find someone who took her with all of her flaws, as a friend? Rue eyes soften at Janeiro's wishes, Rue was more upset for Janeiro sake then herself. She was going say something, but Janeiro added to her words. Rue always rescued her, untrue she was capable in her own right. Rue looked away and crossed her arms and in a slightly embarrassed tone spoke. " Why wouldn't I help you. It's my job as a friend to help you when you in need". Refusing to look at the girl, do to embarrassment of being proclaimed as some sort of white knight.

Rue heard foot steps coming towards the two looking over to the direction of the noise she saw a man. He towered over, over Rue his body was lanky, but toned body. Emerald green eyes and pale skin, his features were not very masculine, but appealing to look at. Placing her left hand on the hilt of her sword. Rue still enraged by the other man's actions is throwing the other man in the same category. Looking at the man with her eyes narrowed she slides her left foot slightly forward, just in case. The asked if they have seen a girl by the name of Haruka. Rue did not know of anyone by that name. " Could you give me more details on the girl". The man descried the girl in more detail. Ever with a description Rue answer stayed the same. Relaxing her stance she shook her head. " No sorry I've never heard of nor see anyone by that description, may I ask why your looking for this girl for I can ask around while i'm adventuring"? The man did not answer he simply thanked her and bowed, then went into the men's washing room. Rue found it odd how he did not mention his relationship to them, if she finds the girl he spoke of the small girl will warn her about this man.

Squeezing the water from her hair, she turns to Janeiro. Looking at he with mild concern. " This day was definitely not what I had in mind, Since my day of relaxation was ruined, i'm going to let off some steam on some monsters. Are you going to be okay by yourself?". The small girl looked to the tall blued eyed girl with worry, as she fixed her hair from being rung out like a dish rag.

[Janeiro]

After Angelo bowed Janeiro reflexively joined him politely, a few strands of her overly long hair slipping over her shoulders to the front before she raised her upper body again. "Sorry, I have not met a girl bearing that name here. And don't worry about the moment, I guess things are resolved now... mostly." Her eyes moved away to the side a little. Janeiro still had not shaken off all of the embarrassment yet. Rue's ideas were good and Janeiro hoped she would remember to ask others about Haruka as well. It seemed like the white-haired boy did not want to be an inconvenience and that's why he left so quickly. He certainly wasn't, but meeting a male with tact and able to read the atmosphere was reassuring.

"Maybe you should properly dry yourself first. At least I would feel gross being this wet in clothes. I'm sure next time will be better for us. I will be fine, really." Janeiro replied to the younger girl. "See you again."

[Rue]

Rue looked back to the washing room and the back to Janeiro. Crossing her arm and shaking her head, "i'm not going to another spring for awhile". Rue's tone was filed with distaste for something she used to have fond memories of, now the a tarnished by filth. Rue looked at Janeiro silently, trying to gauge her actual feelings on the whole embarrassing event. Rue was never very good at reading people's emotions, from her perspective she seemed mostly over it.

Sighing at her inability to get a read on the girl, Rue gives Janeiro a small smile. " Definitely, but maybe next time will just go out to eat or shop" Rue thought about the possibilities of what could could happen. Maybe shopping wasn't the best idea, who knows what could happing if they go to a tailors. Rue looked as best she could to her mess untidy hair, it was nothing like Janeiro's beautiful long flowing hair. " Let's rethink that". Pointing to her hair, Rue kind of of felt jealous toward her friend's hair. " Next time maybe, we could see if I could get my hair near the level of yours". Rue poked fun at her hair, but it did bother her a little. The small girl would smile and wave at Janeiro as she would leave and exit the establishment, leaving it in a rather disorganized state.

[Janeiro]

Janeiro hoped this experience had not completely ruined hot springs for Rue. They were great and something one would definitely miss. Rue appeared to be someone who was mostly work and little play, so taking away from the latter was a rather serious offense. Incidents like the one that happened just now were rare. Although... with so many loud and pervy foreigners around... well, maybe it was better to bathe privately if given the chance. Janeiro missed bathing every single night. She would definitely buy an apartment soon. So far Janeiro had accumulated a decent amount of money.
Rue's last proposal surprised Janeiro. "Huh? My hair?" She cares about something like that? Although she's so pragmatical...
Janeiro looked down at her own hair, black and silky, reaching almost all the way down to her knees except for her bangs. She picked up a strand of it between her index and middle finger. Rue's serious-looking eyes in combination with her words were almost comical, making Janeiro chuckle softly. "I like yours already. But let's do that."
