"I think we all need a bath after this too..." Taking in the sight of the others, Luna noted how dirty everyone had actually gotten
First Evening at Yokai Academy

Sumeryu completely ignores Rikishi. She likes flattery, but she also doesn't like Rikishi on a personal level, enough to overpower her love of praise. So, her actions settle on a comfortable nothing.
She does have a smile for Katsuya, though.
"Thank you, Momochichi-san. I hope you weren't too scared. I have other clothes, but I'm happy you'd be concern for me.
Which other lady? You mean Jing-san? She's right over there. She can make herself disappear. It's very impressive!"
Sumeryu gestures in the now-visible Lin's direction without directly pointing at her.
"Dr. Matusyama, Luna-san, do you detect any more of the corruption that needs to be taken care of? I'm in favor of a bath myself."

Hanami opens her eyes once she's surveyed the area through her bird's senses.
"My famili- summon," she corrects herself, "didn't see any remaining corruption, Sumeryu. It looks like everything is back to normal. Good work, everyone. Except you, Rikishi." She levels a glare at him. Her wand sparks with electricity, a silent warning to keep his distance or face the consequences.
Hanami casts a mending charm on her own clothes. The stains and acid damage fade away in mere moments. "A bath sounds heavenly right now. But what about the map? I suspect Yukiha was behind it, but why?"

"The spirits in the forest seem peaceful now, so all's well that end's well." Luna also wondered about the map Yukiha gave the group, but it was late, so she felt that was a question for another day. "We'll just have to visit the cafe again and ask her about the map."
Mar 20, 2025 11:27 am
"If the forest is cleansed, and given how all sorts of things can be found on the academy grounds, I wonder if there might be some sort of onsen nearby."

OOC:
Ok, if everyone is finished on this scene, they can describe what they're doing afterwards, going to bed, etc. It's almost 9pm now.Mar 20, 2025 3:56 pm
"I suppose so..." Hanami begrudgingly admits, since she's also quite tired. The matter of the map would have to wait. She climbs onto the back of her giant hawk. "Come on Aika, we're heading back!"
"An onsen? That sounds too convenient," Hanami says. "Though it would be really nice. Oh well. I'm getting out of here." Her hawk takes off into the night sky, heading in the direction of the academy.
Back in her room at the dorms, Hanami starts on her newest project: a magic mirror that can fulfill her need for a phone. Layering spells on herself to increase her effectiveness and efficiency, she works well into the night.

OOC:
If I can, I'm going to create Athena (Companion +3 - DN 8), or at least begin to. Assuming we're going into the Night timeslot, I drop all spells and recover my Endurance. I'll cast +3 Smarts and +3 Inventor on myself, which costs 20 Endurance each for 40 total.Mar 20, 2025 11:23 pm
With the day's work done, Luna settled into the bath at the dorms. The frog's goo was all washed off, so she only thing on her mind right now was enjoying the blissful hot water at a perfect 39 degrees celsius.
OOC:
I feel like everyone's just going to the bath at the end of the day now :PMar 21, 2025 2:17 am
OOC:
Eh, good point!As for Hanami's Phone, she can make her Inventor roll, and see what she gets.

Sumeryu retires to her own bath, in her case a jacuzzi because a regular bath or shower are both too small for her. The camera lingers for quite a while on her, even though she isn't doing anything exciting. Once clean, she reads manga before bed. Making sure nobody can see her of course!
Mar 21, 2025 7:49 am
Over the course of the rest of the evening, Lín Jìng exchanges contacts with Rikishi (just in case a psychic message would be too hard), cleans up herself and the clothes (with some aid of arcane magic), and gets something to eat, then reaches out to her co-conspirator with her mind (taking some effort to home in on his mind through the academy compound).
"So, Riki-chan, how's the first day wearing the new you? How does it feel to you - the body, the results?
I think you eased into the role with moderate success, and will get better at it over time. It was fun to see the hint of envy from Hanami. Though I think you're having more success by acting and looking fanciable than by the things you say. So, like, maybe try to strategically loosen your tie at the right moment instead of coming up with explanations relating to how special she is.
The monk and the dragon are probably not a viable audience for you. But I bet the fox and the tengu will grow to appreciate the new you. I'm actually very much looking forward to the tengu getting envious too. I want to one-up her after the Ao-chan incident!"
Also, she'll take some time trying to rebalance her youki flows and will get a good night's sleep later to let the restoration finish - would that be sufficient to 'reload' her TK Crush's 'Ammunition' (I used the Flaw to represent being able to use that technique a limited number of times before requiring extensive rest, but the rules are a bit ambiguous about whether this kind of rest is sufficient for refilling the charges).

I'm assuming magic takes some END, but this is right before going to sleep, so shouldn't be an issue.Also, she'll take some time trying to rebalance her youki flows and will get a good night's sleep later to let the restoration finish - would that be sufficient to 'reload' her TK Crush's 'Ammunition' (I used the Flaw to represent being able to use that technique a limited number of times before requiring extensive rest, but the rules are a bit ambiguous about whether this kind of rest is sufficient for refilling the charges).

Ibuki after fending off Aika (probably having her contact information forcefully pried from her in the process) will go meditate underneath a cold waterfall to cleanse her body and her soul
Mar 22, 2025 3:06 pm
Aika looks at Hanami, confused. "Hmm... B-but, Hanami, I can fly, remember?" She says, her majestic tengu wings sprouting from her back! "Unless you're inviting me to a slumber party, then I couldn't say no!!"
Later, Hanami successfully creates her contraption, she now have a phone!
Rikishi takes note of Ling Jing advice, or at least seems to, rubbing his chin as he does.

Yeah, you'd recover ammunition on a long rest like this.OOC:
Ok, first day is over!! (It took some time, heheh) I'll be posting about the second in a moment.Mar 22, 2025 4:04 pm
OOC:
Do I understand correctly that he takes the advice but refrains from commenting on the impression of the first day in a new form?Mar 22, 2025 6:00 pm
"It's done... Welcome to the world, Athena! I'm your benevolent creator and mistress, Hanami Matsuyama. You better be worth the trouble, got it?" Tired as she is, Hanami still smiles triumphantly. However, she still needs to confirm the stability of Athena's personality and the functionality of her powers.
"Now, for your test run... I suppose you can start by showing me what Tojo-sensei is doing right now." Hanami simply picks the first name that comes up in her mind.

Well, the ambiguity is purposeful, but you got the gist of it."Oh, hello there, Mistress Hanami! Thanks for creating me, I hope we get along, hehe~" The mirror said with the voice of a young and jovial woman, as it hummed.
After asking for that totally random name, without a reason at all, she says: "Oh... You naughty little witch, fufufu~ Very well, here's what you're want."
And at that, the mirror starts turning opaque, and then, an image appears! Hanami can see Ruby in a bathtub, filled with steamy water, her alluring figure covered by soap-foam, bubbles fill the quaint vintage bathroom, as she scrubs herself, singing a silly tune, with:
🎶 "Ruby-chan, Ruby-chan, sparkles in the night!~
Casting spells so dazzling, so bright!~
One swish, two swish, villains take flight!
But first, a bath to set things right!~" 🎶
&
🎶 "Ohhh, Ruby Tojo, the witch so fine!~
Dangerous, gorgeous, truly divine!~
With spells so grand and figure so demure,
Even the Headmaster won't resist my allure!~" 🎶
She finishes both stanzas with splashing water.

She crosses her arms. "Hmph! Who're you calling... naughty...?" Hanami's annoyed remark trails off as she realizes what she's being shown. "Eh?"
She grabs Athena and brings the sentient mirror up to her face, viewing the surface as closely as possible. Her face grows more and more red until she reaches a breaking point, steam rising from her head. Blood starts to trickle from her nose as less than pure thoughts emerge in her perverted mind.
"N... No more. I said, shut it off!" Hanami yelled. She covers her mouth. Oops. It's much too late to be shouting so loudly. When she's sure no one heard her, she uncovers her mouth. "I'll mark this run as... inconclusive. W-We'll need to test your abilities more. A lot more. For now though, I need to sleep..." After setting Athena on her nightstand, Hanami grabs some tissues from a nearby box and tends to her bleeding nose. She's left with plenty to dream about when she climbs into bed.
