An Un-hot-spring-ly Day

[Sawachika Mikoto]

[OOC: Open to non-malicious Rpers]

With the present type of weather, anybody would surely ignore the presence of hot springs. Most would prefer being out in the beach where the water is cold. But for someone raised in an area of high altitude like Mikoto, one would definitely opt for warmer waters to flush the stresses of life off her weary body. Good thing, Unmei no Shima is a volcano island--an extinct one, that is. Therefore, it certainly has a hot spring in it. Mikoto is lucky, even without the use of her alice. Everything goes well according to her liking.

Thus, instead of going out in the sandy shores of the island, Mikoto prepared herself for a refreshing bath in a hot spring, a few walks away from the resort complex. Definitely, it must be kind of secluded and privacy-valuing. Hot springs are best positioned on serene portion of the islands. It feels more refreshing and relaxing in a place maintaining a good distance from the leisure-busy world of the resort complex. Again, these are all what Mikoto craves for--the peace and quiet amidst the wonders of nature.

Mikoto entered the women's area. It was expectedly empty but open. Immersing herself immediately on the warm pool, she sighed in relief and satisfaction. Her head was leaning on the rocky edges. She was staring up in the sky watching the puffy clouds floating slowly with winds. She felt the wind. It was unusually cool and humid, which eventually led her to her slip into the realm of dreams. Yes, she fell asleep.

[Haruhi Otonashi]

"Nothing like a good hot spring," Haruhi sighed in relief. There was nothing better than to start her week of relaxation with a nice bath. Unlike her schoolmates who chose to go to the beach to play and swim with their friends, the new student decided to keep herself alone for a little while.

Haruhi finally arrived in front of the sliding door of the women's area. The air that fogged her big and round glasses has never been so inviting. She undressed herself of the academy PE uniform she wore before going here and wrapped herself with a nice fluffy towel and then pushed the doors open.

So far there was nobody in sight, and for her that was a relief. If some girl were to see her, that girl would freak out, considering that Haruhi pretty much looked like a boy, having a short (and not to mention messy) brown hair. She wiped her glasses with her fingers, so as to double check whether she was right or wrong.

Unfortunately, she was wrong. A young lady was there by her feet, her eyes closed. She looked so peaceful--too peaceful for Haruhi.

Assuming the girl passed out, Haruhi quickly plunged into the hot bath. "Miss, miss, are you alright?" she frantically said, shaking the girl with all her might.

[Kitsune Kurikaze]

Kitsune was tired after making company to all the students that was having this annoying field trip, she was walking in to the hot springs with a bottle with sake. Kitsune enterd with a towl warped around her, she noticed two other girl in the hot spring, she smiled and gave out a weird "hello".


~" Huh? what are you girl doing here? should't you be in the beach or somthing? bah! il have to share the hot spring with you girl then. "~

She enterd the hot spring while giving out a shiver of plesure when she touched the warm water. she leaned at the rocky edge and taking a sip of her sake. her cheek was slightly red as she looked at Mikoto and said.

~" hmmm your Sawachika Mikoto right? the girl withe the curse alice, it quit a rare alice you have that curse people, sound like a ghost thing or somthing that would come out of a movie, kyaahahahaha "~

Kitsune gave out a laughter as she took another sip of her sake and then looked at Haruhi as she got closer to her.

~" boys are not allowed he....oh your a girl! hahaha my bad~ "~

Kitsune took another sip and then looked up to the sky.

[Sawachika Mikoto]

Earthquake! Earthquake!...
Oh my God! The volcano is erupting!
RUN! RUN! RUN!

After running on the trembling grounds--eh, at least, in her dream, Mikoto was roused from her unsightly dream on the island. Apparently, she was awaken by quite a rough waggling. Mikoto isn't exactly the type who can tolerate disturbances in her beauty sleep but for this matter, she is half-thankful for waking her up from a bad dream.

As she slowly opened her eyes, she perceived a boyish figure, which immediately sparked her reflexes. Simultaneously fully opening her eyes, jerking her knees and grabbing her towel lying on the banks, Mikoto jumped out of the water as she wrapped her torso with her towel. She gasped and stared at her "waker". Panicked and furious, sort of, she blurted in a squeaky voice, "What are you doing here?! You're a BOY! Waaah! Get out! Get out!"

With her sudden reaction, Mikoto didn't notice the presence of the other being with them. She about to force out a scream for help but it was cut when she felt a cold droplet that fell on her cheek. Looking up, she noticed the sky being crowded by thick white clouds, which she found weird. What could it be?

[Escape]

OOC:Can I join in? Hope you don't mind. I'll delete this if you don't want to.

IC:
Escape had a cold because of swimming that night.He was so cold that he wanted to take a bath in a hot spring.After walking a very long way.He got a fever.He saw the hair of a boy *but actually a girl* so he had a dip and closed his eyes.Without knowing there were others in the hot spring.he whispered.

~*Aaahh..a hot bath at last.*~

[Haruhi Otonashi]

Another person came in--it was a teacher. Apparently she talked to the girl Haruhi was trying to wake up. Haruhi turned to her, with an obviously irritated expression on her face. Never mind the comment about her being a boy, who knows if this other girl is still alive or what? Even though she's only a kid, Haruhi knows how to speak up to adults. What's more, this older lady seems to know this girl. Why isn't she doing anything?

"Miss, can't you tell that this girl is unconscious? How can you drink sake at a time like this?"

With a soft sigh, she turned her attention to the other girl. Her eyes were already open--in fact, wide open. She greeted Haruhi with a very loud squeaky voice, telling her to get out. The androgynous-looking girl simply scratched her head and smiled. "I'm sorry, I--"

Before she could finish her sentence, droplets of water started to fall down. Haruhi looked up to the sky, peering through her wide eye glasses. "Rain? At a time like this?" Rain during summer is strange, and it puzzled Haruhi very much that she didn't notice that another person barged in.

[Sawachika Mikoto]

(OOC: As an Rper, I don't... I just don't know with my character. Remember, you just entered a WOMEN'S BATH!)

To Mikoto's perception, not only one man has entered the women's bath area, but two of them. She wouldn't certainly just let it pass. The only logical event that would eventually result to this is plain chaos--especially now that Mikoto is just a nudge away from her boiling point. She tightly clasped her fist and bit her lips. Her right eyebrow is reaching its "zenith". Her body begun to tremble in disgust and vexation--trouble is definitely coming. She angrily mumbled to herself, "Why... the hell... are... both of you IN THE WOMEN's AREA?!, as it eventually shifted into a loud blurting.

Mikoto reached her breaking point as she shook her head screaming in a mix of emotions. The wind surged to a stronger gale as Mikoto unconsciously activated her alice and recited a curse, "If you wouldn't get out this instant, then you will be flushed out immediately! As soon as she said that, the clouds have seemed to hastily accumulate over them, eventually forming a humongous dark lump of storm clouds. The winds grew stronger and colder. And eventually, faint sounds of thunder started to boom. Indeed, nature has provided a good environment for her curse to thrive. In no time, the curse may begin to take effect, thus, a storm, which is quite unpleasant to hear.

[Escape]

As Escape woke up he asked the girl looking boy.

~"What's all the noise about?"~

As opened his eyes he saw the two girls.He immediately got up and pointed at the two girls and said.

~"What?!? Why are there girls here?~

He thought that this was the men's bath.Then as he looks at the boy looking girl he realized that he was actually a girl and this was the girl's bath.He whispered to the girl.

~"I won't tell anyone that you're a girl if you don't tell anybody about this. okay?"~

Then as he got up he said to the girl in shock.

~"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding I have a fever so I didn't think well a whil ago.But now I'm feeling a little fine thanks."~

Then he got up and got his clothes on.But actually he was very pale.As he was walking towards the exit he got dizz and collapsed.

[Haruhi Otonashi]

Haruhi noticed that the newly arrived was a boy. He was somebody that she has seen before, although she just can't remember when and where. But he did look familiar. Anyway, the boy seemed pretty delirious, and he must've wanted to take a bath in the hot spring. Maybe he saw Haruhi outside and followed her here, in thought that this was the men's bath. She looked like a boy anyway.

Funny though, outside was a big banner with the sign onna (woman) on it. This boy must really be feeling sick.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud screeching voice. Haruhi got startled and looked forward with her hazel eyes widening. The girl she was trying to wake earlier just... burst in anger. She was fuming already. Not even the falling rain and cold breeze was able to lower the tension gathering up.

"You see miss, I'm--"

Once again Haruhi's sentence was interrupted. The other girl apparently blurted something out; that something sounding somewhat like a curse. The seemingly masculine girl raised an eyebrow then later let out a small laugh. "Actually, I'm really--"

A faint thunderstorm bellowed. Haruhi's eyes widened in fear as her body started to tremble slightly. She even held on to the other girl's wrist tightly as a reflex. Realizing what she has done, she quickly pulled her hand and then placed a hand over her lips.

"I--I'm so--sorry... I--I have... to..."

Yet another clash of thunder roared. This time, it was deafening, so deafening that Haruhi's scream could not be heard. The poor girl was helpless. On impulse, she fell down, her body soaked wet up to her chin, having her hands over her ears.

[Kurai Shizumaru]

[OoC: Meeh, I think this is the thread that Yuki-chan invited me to post in. I think... Err... yeah~ Hope I'm in the right place. *shudders*]

EDIT: Uhh.. This isn't the thread... >_< Hontou ni gomenasai!! Ermm... Can I still join in?

-----

The beach has always been one of Kurai's favorite places, aside from the Ice Castle where her parents took her before. But when she saw the number of people enjoying there, she led out a deep sigh and dropped the idea immediately. "Too... many... people," She said to herself.

As she passed by the large area map, She looked up, squinted her eyes, hoping that she can see other places where she can play with water. "Nyuu..." she hushed out. Then, she saw the legend for hot spring. "Hot spring..." she said as she checked the direction. After making sure of the directions, she went on her way.

When Kurai arrived at the entrance, she saw a man out-cold and lying on the ground. She blinked and got to the man. Just as she knelt down and felt the man's forehead, she heard rumbling sounds of thunder. "Eeto..." she mumbled as she looked around. Upon impulse, Kurai dragged the knocked-out man to the hot spring, hoping that someone would be inside to help her out. She exerted much effort just by dragging the man, and giving even more effort to make him stand up, at least.

She peeked in the men's bath. No one was there, lucky for her. Then, she went inside the women's bath. Yep, there are people in there, but they don't look all too happy, especially the girl yelling. "Anou..." Kurai began. But her voice was drowned by the loud thunderclaps. "Eeehh..." she said again, trying to excuse herself, but to no avail. Then, she noticed the shivering... boy curled with his hands over his ears. Since when did hot springs open a unisex bath, thought Kurai.

Kurai's eyes narrowed. The boy was obviously scared already. So, Kurai took off her shoes and dipped into the spring. Then, she gathered as much water as she can on her palm. "Squirt... squirt...?" she said in her usual drop-dead plain voice. Should she, or should she not squirt water on the angry girl's face?

[Cloud Tetsuya]

Cloud was walking around relaxing for the frist time in a long time. He was wearing redish orange surf shorts with orange trimmings, and no shirt. He was a rather fit for a small child close to a professinol soccer players build. His once long golden hair was now short because of his fox ears. Cloud contuined walking around his tail blowing into the wind and his ears twitching when he hears a girl yelling, followed by thunder claps. He fixes glasses and rushes towards the area with great speed.

Once there he saw a boy passed out at the entrence way of the girls hot spring. With a twitch of his fox ears Cloud walks over and he touches the ground around the boy. And the ground underhim turns into a strecher with wheels. He uses it to move him to the side. He then enters the hot spring and sees a one girl yelling, two more in the hot spring, and another boy crouching in fear.

Cloud walks forward as cold air raises from his body making the his apparence look like a demon. He stops as his eyes start to glow and two dots of light could be seen, one blood red another dark blue. Cloud just stands there and he uses his power over atoms and the skills tought by his late friend Rage to make the wind die down. And he says loud enough for everyone to hear.
"That's enough of that. Ill take over from here. Cloud Tetsuya president of the elementry branch at your service"

OOc: hope u doint mind me joining. Also seeing the elections going on I'm still the pres. ^^
