WHAT: The grand opening of the spa facility
WHERE: On base
WHEN: Sept 11
WARNINGS: Nudity, that's probably it????
SPA FACILITY GRAND OPENING
One morning, everyone wakes to a message bearing the title above. Turns out, the area near the greenhouse that has been cordoned off since the Outsiders returned to base was converted to a spa facility! While this was planned before their return from the latest mission as a show of appreciation for everyone's hard work, LILITH hopes, given recent circumstances, that the facility will help Outsiders relax and unwind from their stress. It is open indefinitely and free to use by those on base!
▶ LOUNGE
The entrance leads to a short, undecorated hallway that opens up to a small foyer. It is simple, pristine, and decorated with only a spotting of greenery and a large painting of a beach that replaces what should have been the location of the receptionist's desk. To each side of the painting is an open pathway, half covered by a panel of fabric overhanging the entrance. The pattern is plain, and likely meant to be soothing in appearance.
A pop-up appears in the ocular the moment one steps foot into the area. A generic welcome message, with descriptions of the facilities offered and how to navigate through the area. There are even recommended programs for someone who wants a specific experience! How generous.
Both doors lead behind the foyer into a lounge area just as simple as the room previous. It is plain, decorated in calming blues and a creamy off-white colour. There are a few plants here and there (which may be fake, upon closer inspection), and more landscape paintings hung around the area. Across the room, there are doors to change rooms (though there are no change of clothes within, because the Style Change Upgrade will provide them plain spa robes to be used in the facility.) To the left is a wide space leading to a massage parlor and a nail salon, and to the right is the door leading to the saunas, both dry and wet, and a public bath, obscured partially by a piece of fabric draped over the top half of the doorway.
The only refreshments provided seem to be a single synthetic milk vending machine standing next to the entrance to the baths, branded with the name GYUNEW. The milk comes in different flavours: chocolate, strawberry, banana, some seasonal flavours like pumpkin spice, quirky ones like cotton candy milk, and a flavour that is simply labeled "white". There's no explanation for this flavour. Anyone trying it will find it's creamy and sweet like milk but also somehow manages to taste like every other milk alternative without committing to a single flavor. It also never expires. Strange.
▶ SAUNA
The pathway to the sauna splits into three: one for a wet sauna on the left, and the dry sauna to the right. A third path down the middle leads to the supplies and furnaces for the saunas, because neither run on electricity, and require stones, fire (and water for the wet sauna). An ocular pop-up will list the benefits of each type of sauna, allowing you to make the best choice for your own health, as well as provide instructions on how to operate them and optimize the experience for your physiological needs.
Both saunas are rooms lined with wooden slats, and with multiple levels of seating available, seating ten people at most. At the corner of the rooms is a small tub of rocks heated by fire from a furnace accessible through the middle path. A wooden bucket is available to bring water into the wet sauna, to be poured onto the stones to provide the moisture for the sauna.
▶ PUBLIC BATH
Though the area is fully enclosed, attempts have been made to decorate the baths with natural elements, such as stones bordering the pools, bamboo water spouts, wooden slats lining the walls and windows that open up to a yard abundant with greenery, appropriately fenced off so no one can peek into the baths from the greenhouse area. The public baths are segregated by gender, a thick wooden fence dividing the two sides of the room so that communication is still possible, but view of the other side is obscured.
Each side features an area with stools, mirrors and seated showers that one can use to thoroughly rinse their bodies before entering the bath. Like the showers in the locker room, no soaps and shampoos are provided. However, fluffy, luxurious towels are stocked just outside the bathing area for use along with a hamper for their disposal, and the baths themselves seem to be on a biweekly rotation of additives, from scents like lavender and yuzu to herbal additions like mugwort or green tea, with one day each week free of any additives.
For those who prefer private bathing sessions, there are smaller rooms that can be reserved ahead of time using the ocular implant.
▶ MASSAGE PARLOR
The massage parlor is a room with ten massage beds, staffed by two robot massage therapists. It is a dimmed area with warm lighting and a diffuser spreading a calming scent throughout the area. Plenty of plants and landscape paintings decorate the area to provide a calming atmosphere. Each bed can be separated by a curtain for privacy.
Upon entry into the room, an ocular pop-up will appear asking you to select the type of massage preferred, if you need no robot assistance, or if you'd like a lesson in performing massages. It also offers a selection of specialty massage oils and aromatic blends which clients can choose based on their desired therapeutic effects.
For those receiving a massage from robotic massage therapists, the massage can be personalized through a digital touchpad at each bed. This touchpad allows clients to adjust the intensity and focus of the massage, select soothing soundscapes, and even set the area's ambient lighting to their preference.
For those who prefer even greater privacy, rooms are available for up to two people to receive a massage together. Perfect for couples!
▶ NAIL SALON
The nail salon is decorated similarly to the massage parlor, but there are no robot attendants staffing the area. Instead, an ocular pop-up will indicate that the salon is entirely unmanned, so it is up to Outsiders to provide manicures and pedicures to their fellow colleagues! All the appropriate stations and supplies have been provided, so the only limit is imagination!
The parlor is stocked with a wide array of high-tech nail polishes that change color based on temperature or mood, as well as glittering holographic powders and futuristic gel finishes that provide a dazzling array of effects including personal advertisements and minor cosmetic effects. Some examples of cosmetic effects include the temperature/mood-changing colors that can be as extreme or subtle as desired; the holographic depiction of shifting patterns or scenes, such as starry galaxies or futuristic cityscapes; or interactive haptic feedback, using embedded micro-sensors to simulate various sensations, such as a gentle vibrating pulse that matches a rhythm, or a mild tingle that responds to touch.
LILITH would like to remind you to avoid applying nails that become an impediment during kaiju missions.
▶ NOTES
Welcome to the first crowdfunded base upgrade!! Many thanks to Kia, Peace, Abbel, Blair, Ari, Steve, ly, and Lan who pooled points with me for this luxurious addition to the base. Also thanks to Pax for helping me with the text of this log.
The spa facility is a permanent add-on and will have an entry added to the Main Base page soon. Note that there will be no IC explanation for the use of reward points.
This post is meant to be a mingle log for all characters to enjoy the facility's services at the grand opening! If you have any questions about the spa, please ask them in the questions thread!
Questions
Kaiju Accesibility

However, the saunas aren't much taller than that so the ceiling might seem a little low for anyone at that height. The rest of the room is adjusted to typical human height in order to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat the entire room.
For any particularly tall individuals, there is a private room with a massage bed designed to accommodate their height.

so yes, here she is with tezca. she likes him well enough and it's interesting to speak with someone who comes from the same world she does. even if their positions are so drastically different - a mortal and a god. she could never imagine it even in her wildest dreams. ]
Yeah, it was a lot. [ she danced, got lost in a maze, argued with some asshole on the dance floor. busy night. ] I didn't really have anything to wear. It's a shame, but I'm sure there will be more parties.
[ said both with anticipation and yet exhaustion. she's only an extrovert up to a certain point before she rather go home and laze on the couch. ]
I suppose you enjoyed yourself?

[ Even though he'd definitely eyed the guns first, he'd gone with practical purchases as soon as he was able after arriving. Chief among them was the style upgrade, since he's a fashionable guy. Being able to change it on the fly was nice. And useful, as the gala showed. ]
Mm, well, when you make some cash, style upgrade's worth it, at least. Can't say I totally get why it works that way instead of, y'know, normal clothes... But I don't always get why people do what they do.
[ Well, mostly when it comes to trends and pop culture. There's some of it he likes (action movies) and some of it that's totally beyond him (what the fuck is a tiktok). He'd rather talk about that, honestly, since her question makes him grimace just a little bit. ]
...More or less. Mostly went for the open bar. Found out I fuckin' hate that kinda dancing. You?

one.
when he enters the sauna, he comes in dressed, or is it undressed in the proper attire. though, this time with his egg tucked under one arm. at the words, he simply just stares, looking around at the steam that's quickly escaping from the room.
well, at least it's a familiar face, he doesn't say much for a moment. ]
What, were you sleeping? No need to make a fuss, I'm closing it now.
[ which he is now, before finding a place to plop down. ]
no subject
But despite the rude demand, Tezcatlipoca’s ire doesn’t last long. Since Yuwon is coming in instead of just being nosy like the last person, he nods appreciatively. ]
Close, honestly. It’s relaxing in h—
[ He starts to answer, but he stops abruptly as he sees what’s under Yuwon’s arm. ]
…Is that an egg? [ No, that's not the question to ask. Obviously it is. ] Why do you have an egg?

2... (cw nudity)
She's fully immersed, leaning back, eyes closed, tails lazily wagging in the water. Bust fully exposed... fox ears twitching as she hears someone make a comment they shouldn't. That's her imagination, right? Or just an echo. Surely no-one would be so much of a damned dog as to peak over the fence in the very first week this place is open to them.
When she cracks open an eye and looks around she is of course wrong. She sees eyes peering over the fence, not enough to make out who they belong to but enough to know one of the men has decided to think with a different brain. That's just not going to do.
Kaga's remarkably calm despite the anger building up inside her. Her eyes close lazily again, she sighs, and moves to a more sitting position. Very casually she lifts an arm above her head to stretch, tails moving seemingly randomly but covering her modesty.
And at that point Yato probably realizes he's fucked up. Both her eyes open and look directly at him at the same time that her arm comes down and flings a ball of fox-fire straight for between his eyes.
Feels like we've been here before. Have we been here before?
no subject
So really, it shouldn't come as too much of shock that when said fox girl starts moving, it's not merely to get comfortable or shift position. He notes the movement, but is so focused on his goal that it's only when she stretches that his attention comes back to her, in time to see that flaming ball heading his way.
Ah-- oh. Second verse, same as the first? A little bit louder and a little bit worse?
A familiar yelp is the result, followed by a resounding crash as his tower of stools topple sideways with him along with them, tossing him headfirst into a bush. Shame it's not a rose bush or another type with prickles, huh. At least it's enough to keep him from immediately popping back up, as he struggles to pull himself out of the plant while moaning all the while.]
Oooh... it burns... it burns......

2, you asked for it
but synflux you will now be privy to how pissed hiyori iki can get. she would know those eyes, rain or shine or through steam, peeping over the fence anywhere. his intentions may be (questionably???) good (barely) but she's not about to stand by and let this fly. these poor girls did not sign up for this. hiyori kinda did.
that nearby wooden water basin? one sec, she needs to borrow it. yeah, that one. thanks.
vash would be proud, she thinks. all the festival games where they tested out hiyori's luck and aim amounts to this. flinging that bucket like a boomerang to nail yato in the forehead and, ideally, knocks him back onto the MEN'S SIDE of the bathing area. ]
YATO. ARE YOU...?! [ stupid, yeah, sometimes. insane? also that, sometimes. ] YOU JUST TRY AND PEEK OVER THAT FENCE AGAIN AND I WON'T HOLD BACK NEXT TIME.
[ she held back?
a stool is her next weapon. ]
blessed be thy anger, amen
So yeah, he probably should've expected somebody on that side to notice. Just. Perhaps not his target herself.
At first he's too busy taking in all the other ladies over there, eyebrows arching appreciatively as he scans te bath for his one and only. Even with some of their hair done up in towels, all he has to do is glance at their chest to rule them out. Nope, not that one. Too small. Hers are too big. Where oh where can his Hiyori be~? If only she had her tail, that'd make it so much easier.
Finally, he spots her: just as she lays eyes on him. He almost waves, but then her ire becomes apparent and he just has time to register the danger before--]
...oh shit.
[INCOMING!
SMACK
Aaaaaand down he goes with a resounding splash as he lands back in the pool. Not long afterwards, there's a clattering and a yelp as his stool tower tumbles down on top of him, burying him under a landslide of seating. Mission: Successful? Yet failed?? Successfailed? Is that a thing?]
Hiyoriiiiii...

'Adorable', huh? I could never match up to you. [ Step closer he does, taking the seat in front of her and placing his hands on the table. His nails are clean and well-trimmed. Despite the state of his room, he keeps himself well groomed at all times. ]

I-oh. Doctor Sigewinne? Are you...sure you want to? I'm not sure I'm what one would consider. Adorable?

Bath! ('tis all I got rn)
He rinses off, but enters the bath itself with a towel tied around his waist, still a bit shy about modesty.
....the warmth is nice. He gets cold way too easily, and this chases any chill away, as well as easing the aches and pains from the constant training. And the scents are unexpected but relaxing.
......perhaps a bit too relaxing. Dan Heng is dozing in the water within moments. He's still sitting up, but. He is. Definitely submerged except for his horns. His cloudhymn will keep him from drowning but it's not like everyone knows that. Also being in hot water for too long might be perhaps a problem? This is one way to find out, supposedly.]
