[OPEN] fuck timelines

[flowerclips]

[ after fucking off from the dungeon, leaving the daitengu all alone and sad (invite them too, guys :'( ), it's time to have fun. at whatever agreed upon time, the ou hirajiro gang is here to finally get some good r&r. rei has been extremely excited so she's early in front of the bathhouse, holding a bag of her belongings. she waves down anyone she sees. come faster!! let's get this show on the road! ]

Bathhouse time, hoooooo!!

[ for things in the bathhouse, there are your usual spa options: a sauna, jacuzzi, pedicures, manicures, that kind of stuff. have fun, everyone. ]

Comments

[flowerclips]

[ thanks for paying, terry. ]

Ohh, I see. Okay, I'll take your word on it, neechan!

[ she's still going to eat the soap when she finds one shaped like a fruit or something. ]

Did you find a swimsuit that you liked?

[reveilation]

[ Kido is just going to hold Rei's hand now so she can drag her away from all the soap. No soap for Rei unless it's neechan tested and approved. ]

Yeah. It's just a plain one, but I don't plan on swimming much anyways. Did you go with the pink and ruffles?

[flowerclips]

[ rei stares at all the soaps as kido drags her away like a child. she'll be back for you sooooon. ]

Mmhm! Toki-kun said that they go well with baguettes so I brought some!

[ they're in her bag. ]

[reveilation]

[ Rei and Toki shouldn't ever talk, but Kido is stuck in the middle dragging the two of them around everywhere, so she'll just have to deal. ]

Baguettes, huh... Did you bring anything to put inside, or are you just going to eat bread?

[flowerclips]

[ kido is on adult duty. she needs to make sure that no one does anything dumb, like bringing baguettes into the water... ]

Just the bread! But if they have any condiments, I'll put those in!

[ watch her spray shampoo and conditioner in it. ]

[reveilation]

[ Kido is going to have to sit there and put real condiments in Rei's baguette and sit there watching her eat it all before she goes anywhere else. ]

I'm sure they'll have things to put in there. I'll go with you and we can find them together.

[flowerclips]

[ why is kido so against fun :( ]

Okay! I want to eat it while we're in the jacuzzi!

[reveilation]

[ She doesn't want people to die. That's Shadow Rei's job. ]

Ah... The steam will make the bread all soggy, though. Anything you put inside will fall out.

[flowerclips]

[ but neechans are supposed to help each other :( ]

Then I'll just have to eat everything that falls out before it hits the water!

[reveilation]

[ Kido is imagining Rei holding the bread over her head while she catches things in her mouth. ]

They might not even allow food in the water... [ They definitely will not. ]

At least eat it over the side of the pool, okay? Then if something falls out, it'll be right there to pick up without having to dive down into the water.

[flowerclips]

Okay!

[ gross... she'd drop things on the side of the pool, pick it up while it's all soggy and nasty, then eat it. please help this child. ]

Are you good at swimming?

[reveilation]

[ It'll be gross, but Kido figures it'll be better than dropping things into the water. She's given up on convincing Rei to eat it outside. ]

I'm alright at it. Not great enough to race or anything like that, but I can swim. What about you, Rei? The water shouldn't be that deep, but if you can't swim, we can find something for you to hang onto.

[flowerclips]

[ glad that kido has realized that she can't stop rei from eating. ]

I've never swam before, so I'm a little nervous with all the water here... I'm not very good at hanging onto things except for hands.

[reveilation]

[ It's one battle she knows she can't win. ]

If you stay by the edge, you should be fine. I'll hold onto your hand too when I'm there. Why don't we go now, and I'll try to teach you?

[flowerclips]

Really? You'll teach me how to swim?!

[ has she mentioned how kido is the best neechan?? ]

[reveilation]

Yep. I'll teach you how to swim.

[ Or at least, she'll teach Rei to float and not drown, and she can doggy paddle. ]

It'll be easier in a small pool first, so let's stay away from the public one.

[ Girls only swimming lessons..... ]

[flowerclips]

[ oh good, terry can imagine them while they're in the girls only pool. ]

Okay! Let's go get changed together then!

[ japanese bathhouses don't give a fuck about your privacy. just change in front of everyone. ]

[reveilation]

[ lmfao they just call terry up in the middle of a thread, let's do it

Kido is boring and uses her eye ability so nobody stares at her and Rei while they get changed. It's really just finding some corner or wall to stare at while she takes her clothes off since she wore her bathing suit under, and then tie her hair up into a ponytail too so it doesn't get everywhere. ]

[flowerclips]

[ lmfao i'm so glad. i hope one of them drops their phone into the water so they can scream. ]

[ bless kido and her eye powers so they can change in peace. time to just shove everything into a locker and then they can start walking over to their pool. ]

Wow, neechan, you look so nice! You look really pretty!

[ good swimsuit, good hair, rei can appreciate. ]

[reveilation]

[ CAN YOU IMAGINE Terry's on the line and they're all chatting happily and then all of the sudden he hears the two of them screaming their heads off ]

I— mm...

[ This is where she would deny it, but Rei just says it so earnestly. ]

Thanks, Rei. You look really cute too. The pink really suits you; it's a happy color, just like yellow.

[ Kido is still grabbing a towel and wrapping it around her shoulders though. They can focus on how cute Rei is instead. ]

[flowerclips]

[ LMAO let's do it. rei doesn't need her phone when she's a zombie so let's get rid of it. ]

Ehehe, thank you.

[ in between all the death and suffering, rei is living out her best life by doing everything that she wasn't able to do before. rei will always grab a towel and mimic kido to put it over herself while they head over to the pool. she is immediately amazed. ]

Wowww, the pool is so big! I didn't know that they could get this big.

[reveilation]

It's pretty big, huh? Sort of like the ocean, but we won't get carried off in here.

[ But also they're going to the kiddie pool first, to get swimming lessons. At least there aren't many people in here, compared to the large public pool.

The water is lukewarm when she sticks her toe inside. Nice. Freezing pool water is the worst and Kido steps inside. The water is barely up to her shoulders, but that's fine, it doesn't need to be very deep. ]

Alright, let's see how well you float.

[flowerclips]

[ rei watches kido step into the water, but she doesn't follow. she just stares down at the water. if it barely comes up to kido's shoulders, it might come up to rei's neck and that is Very Nerve-Wrecking for her. ]

Umm... how do I float?

[ if you say "do a dead man's float", rei's going to cry. ]

[reveilation]

[ Minato would absolutely say that, but Kido has enough sense to keep Rei's face out of the water, at least. She wades up to the edge and holds her hand out for Rei to take. ]

We'll start with floating on your back. I'll keep a hand under you so you don't sink, and I'll hold your hand too if you need something to hang onto. All you have to do is breathe calmly, and the air in your lungs will help you float.

[flowerclips]

[ this is why kido is the neechan and minato is just a vice leader. ]

O-Okay.

[ ahhhh that sounds kind of terrifying. she gets into the water and immediately, she's super nervous. it shows how tense she is and that she tightly holds onto kido's hand as she tries to float on her back, but her posture's bad and she breathes quickly so she'll just sink. ]
