One of the first stops for visitors of the Silver Mountains, the hot springs are located in various large cave systems. It becomes noticeably warmer as soon as one steps into the cave entrance, and plenty of light enters through openings in the roof. The cave floor is surprisingly clean, devoid of dust or bat droppings. The navy blue waters themselves are said to possess minor healing properties and radiate a soft mist. When one steps into the hot water, occasionally they will be greeted by floating enchanted flowers, each giving off a faint energy which resonates within the person's soul. The colors one attracts seems to have to do with the person's personality and state of mind, though the actual logic behind it is rather complex and esoteric. Finally, those in who are most stressed and in need of healing will trigger stones in the water to give off a special vibration, almost like a cat's purrs. The Laeneth Hot Spring is sometimes dubbed the Singing Hot Spring for this reason. |

[Enter from Serenity Pass with Kate Green and Jun of the Celadine ]As she enters the Hot Springs, Naoki takes a half-step back, buffeted by the heat. Immediately, a point in The Springs’ favor with her. Naokies like warm places. Continuing in, her mouth gapes slightly as she looks about, seeing what there is to see. “ This is nice,” she whispers. “Nice, for a cave,” goes the thought unsaid. She notices, the mist catches the light quite nicely, and the floor is mostly smooth. It’s far from the worst cave she’s visited -- but it is a cave. One needs to look at it as a feature of nature, Naoki thinks, as opposed to in comparison to something like The Sun Bath. It isn’t bathing in some hippie-elven cavern in the-middle-of-who-the-hell-knows-where-boro, The Expanse. It’s swimming. In nature. And that’s quite enough for Naoki; she has other things to think about. After it seems like they’ve reached their destination, she takes a knee and begins untying the straps on her sandals, presuming the next activity to have something to do with entering the water.

Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Jun, for her part, was excited to hop in. So as was quickly becoming her style, she let loose a bolt of lightning around herself, facilitating her change in attire to something far more comfortable for the water. She was now in a claret red swimsuit, a cross-strapped top accompanied by a thin, pleated skirt bottom. Her train of zeal continued as she irreverently jumped into the water.
As she popped back up to the surface, she gleefully exclaimed, "It's alive!"
As she said this, strange, glowing, lily-like plants floated out from the rocky crevices lining the waters to greet her. Jun extended a hand out to gently tap one of them. The flower started glowing green. A few of the other flowers started to glow red and white. The strange lilies orbited Jun, forming a little solar system. Their light would refract through the warm mist of the hot spring, creating colorful clouds which coalesced into a transparent, eerie rainbow.
"I'm... I'm not sure how to explain it without going into a half hour lecture on my understanding of magic, but basically the energy here has a sort of sapience to it. By our standards, it makes a conscious decision to want to soothe and help others. This entire cave system, and the others like it, they're like a... a friendly... spirit? No. Organism? Ecosystem? Uh... eh..." Jun ultimately chose to shrug and walk her way over to a corner of the hot spring.
Naoki and Kate would notice that some of the flowers broke off from Jun's orbit and approached the edge of the water closest to them, as if saying hello.

Kate walked near the water's edge and submerged her wrist. The ripples caused the plants to flutter, and slightly alter their course toward her mass, until touching. She'd try to cup one on her hand, to get a feel for the structure.
"Mycelium?" Kate tried to assume, as she tried reaching her fingertips towards another blossom, of different color and kind. "No, that's kind of reachy. Most likely they live in a symbiosis with each other. Hm. Could it be that they get their nutrition from the people who visit this place? Psycho-so-ma-tic..? Using the stress of other living things to fuel their growth? Psychosyntesis? Or something?"
She had opted to walk without shoes for most of the way since they were hardly suited for hiking. Now she laid them down on the rock beside her, as she lowered her legs one by one into the clear water, sending larger ripples in. It was nice to give your feet a rest after.
"Some fish do that, as well as bacteria. So who am I to tell plants to stop eating the stress from my brain? Come on fellas. Dinner is served." Kate nodded her head backward letting the floaty lilies poke her in the knee.
"If you're going in, Nao, go ahead. I'm fine riiiight here."

It takes an appreciable number of moments for Naoki to take her sandals off, so many and elaborate are the straps. As she’s between the left and right, the lilies emerge, prompting her to pause in her motions and look over.
Though the appearance of strange and esoteric flora is to be expected, it is still quite captivating, and it still piques Naoki’s interest. Though she isn’t as well-versed in such topics, if what they’re saying is true — and it probably is, these flowers seem exceedingly useful. To soothe and consume the stress of an individual? Flowers? Truly, there is no limit to the wonders of magic.
Naoki looks on from one knee as Kate approaches the water.
“Mmmmh.” She murmurs acknowledgment. Though she’s following, Naoki has nothing to add.
After she’s finished with the straps, Naoki places her shoes on a nearby rock. Her dress joins them there shortly after that — after being folded. Without further parading, Naoki proceeds to the water’s edge, out of the immediate vicinity of any lilies. She spends a moment on testing the temperature with a toe, figuring it prudent to do so.
Naoki is unsurprised to find that the water is hot — she supposes she could have guessed as much. Using an outcropping as a step, Naoki enters the water gracefully, causing only a small ripple. She continues in, down, until she’s submerged up to her nose, reveling in the enveloping warmth.
After a moment of adjusting, Naoki hears something. Her ears begin to angle this way and that, seeking the source of the noise. As she rotates, searching, her braid trails behind, floating lightly on the surface.
She finds nothing. The acoustics in here are strange, especially so down in the water — one could have guessed that — but they’re strange in a manner Naoki can’t identify. She’s unsure if this makes her uneasy, or if it’s just another element of the novelty. It may be both.
But there are more pressing curiosities to investigate. Naoki’s ears fold backward to reduce drag as she cuts through the water toward the lilies, very much the prowling submersible. She stops about a foot away from the closest one and fixes it with a sharp look, expecting it to do something appropriately mystical.

"Honestly, it's best not to question it, Kate." Jun lies back against the rock and allows herself to become lost in the warmth. "Although, I wouldn't want to suppress your botanical curiosity. I don't think the lilies would wanna do that either."
As Naoki explored the waters, the lilies closest to her, including the one she approaches, glow magenta. But their color doesn't remain fixed. It shifts from red, to blue, to magenta, until a bunch of them seem to make up their mind, although none of them are of the same mind. All the lilies choose their own color, but run the gamut from red to blue. The lily directly in front of her settles on magenta, however.
Naoki would get the impression that the flowers are somehow trying to synchronize themselves with some aspect of her.
Once they are done, they begin to orbit her in much the same way as Jun and Kate.
As for the precise source of the humming, it would seem to come from the stones themselves at the bottom of the springs. As the lilies did their thing, the humming would mellow out and become more musical.
In any case, stress would be the last thing all three of them would feel at the moment.

Kate slightly pushed her tongue over her lips in response. "Sorry. Couldn't resist." She let go of the blossom and it flowed along the current to its kins.
She would pester the lilies no longer. Instead, she took joy in their swirling motion and kicking her heels in the pond. As she saw Naoki's ears swirl in search of a sound, she noticed it too.
"Singing rocks..? That's a first..." She tried to keep her voice soft, not to disturb the tune. After few seconds of listening, she tried harmonizing with the noises, wordlessly and inaudibly. There was a sense in how they sound moved. Kate was quick to catch onto these kinds of things.
She began adding her own voice more confidently once she understood. Still, it was not her place, but the abode of the lilies and the rocks.
She hummed quietly along and closed her eyes

Enthralled, Naoki watches closely as the lilies do their thing and finds their performance highly satisfactory. Pretty, absolutely, and unlike anything she’s seen before, which is perhaps more difficult. She finds herself curious to hear the explanation Jun mentioned but is savvy enough in this instance to know that it isn't the time. She resolves to ask about it later.
As the humming picks up, Naoki’s ears continue to swivel, restless, having not yet found the source of the noise. It's reflexive, just as one would (try to) look at the focus of their attention. Kate’s humming, however, provides an excellent direction in which to listen. Though perhaps somewhat sappy for it, Naoki has always liked Kate’s singing and thinks she's contributing much to the melody.
Locating a suitably sized ledge, Naoki sits, still submerged from the neck down. She takes a deep breath and sits, able to relax for the first time in a significant while. To set the worries and the concerns and the responsibilities and the stress and the tension all aside, and sit, thoughts unburdened.
Half-conscious of this, she does nothing. Nothing, save for keeping her head above the water, listening, and idly watching the goings-on, eyes half shut.

Jun finds herself a similar underwater ledge and takes on a relaxed posture like the others.
"From what I understand... you can't get overheated here... And no one ever drowns... so... take your..."
There was an awkward silence before a slight snoring could be heard coming from Jun, perhaps a painful reminder that she had not slept well the night before.
The circling flowers seemed like sentinels now, guarding her safety.
The others would of course be perfectly soothed for as long as they wished. As an added bonus, If any of them had any injuries or minor illnesses they were concealing, the mist of the water would seem to slowly ebb them away.

The soft wheezing of the submerged Jun dispells Kate. She glances, at Naoki, who was still awake, yet relaxed and damp. Then she looks at Jun's little solar system of snoozing, then back at Naoki, with the look of a baby snake who found her first, sleeping prey.
She's getting a little too relaxed don't you think? Mouths Kate.
Before she can answer (or object), Kate rises to quickly undress from her dress, which joins her shoes on the shore and slides beneath the surface in a smooth motion with nothing on but her underwear. Her lengthy hair follows like a weed as she holds her breath.
Reaching Jun's sphere of influence, Kate ferociously stabs at two random locations in Jun's abdomen before kicking herself away towards Naoki. Bubbles from her mouth following in her trail tell of how happy this makes her.
She doesn't surface until she reaches Naoki's back, in case Jun plans a revenge. Peeking over her shoulder, Kate sputters: "Wasn't me! Must have been a Mermuhh... Mermon. Yep. Terrifying things. Wouldn't you agree?"
Her wink to Naoki couldn't have been more obvious if she had covered the entire rest of her face.

Watching Kate enter the water, Naoki is unsure what she’s going to do. Splash Jun? Make a loud noise? No! Two jabs to the stomach — the one-two! Naoki is (half-)surprised by the roughness; she would have gone for something more subtle, or at least a bit gentler.
When Kate surfaces behind her, Naoki startles, as if she wasn’t watching the whole time. Looking back and forth between the two of them, the moment seems to stretch on for an eternity. Surely, Kate knows what she’s just started?
Naoki can only guess as to how Jun will retaliate but — wait. Realizing the genius in Kate’s plan, Naoki plays along and holds her ground.
“What? Where?” Pulling her arms up out of the water, Naoki aims wary looks down into the water as if concerned by the presence of ‘Mermon.’

Jun goes from being immersed in sheep to starting and flailing about, until she is completely awake and groaning softly. Her head sways weakly and she grips her abdomen.
"M- mermon? Where?" She looks around anxiously. "Why? How? What? Whhaaaat? W- what the heck is a mermon?"
The flailing chased away the illuminating lilies, but as Jun made her inquiry they began to return. Interestingly, the color scheme changes from a mellow green, mixed with white and red, to a more alert golden and pink. The light is once again refracted through the spring's silky mist. Lucky for Kate this obscures what would likely be an incriminating trail of ripples coming from her body.
"Hey! Mermon! Buddy! Where are you?" She keeps looking around. Maybe her common sense wasn't fully awake yet.

Kate plops her head onto Naoki's shoulder from behind. She smiles toothily in her twisted satisfaction. "Maybe he just wanted to say hi. They're shy, the mermons. Be careful of falling asleep adorably like that or they simply can't resist." Kate floated the rest of her body to the surface, to float on behind Naoki. "Although now that I am her I can't really blame you. This is pretty nice."
A small nudge made her spin nonchalantly away from Naoki, towards an open spot on the pond. She did not waste any effort in steering her in a way or the other. That felt like a struggle. She left it up to chance where she would end up, lying on her back.
"Oh no... The Mermons... Theyre taking mee awayy... nooo..." Kate felt her body spinning and was only vaguely aware of the flowers blooming around in her entourage. She made no effort in trying to shoo them. This was, after all, a pretty fine state of being.

Eyebrows raised, Naoki exhales sharply — amused, and lowers her arms back into the water. She expected Jun to see through the act and retaliate. She must be pretty tired, Naoki concludes. If she didn’t sleep, it’s unreasonable to expect her to last the day; Naoki doubts she will either.
Though, she isn’t quite comfortable enough to start dozing. Not here. What was said earlier about drowning, Naoki finds... unconvincing. There’s a first for everything, and Naoki somehow doubts that this water — as mystical and pleasant as it may be, would be a very good thing to have in her lungs, regardless of whether or not it's technically possible to drown.
Her desire to continue breathing is enough to keep Naoki’s eyes open as she settles back down into her spot, smirking slightly. That — and eyeballing Kate. Two things Naoki doubts she’ll get tired of anytime soon.

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Jun went from being genuinely anxious to rolling her eyes. "Ugh..." She got the joke.
And yet she was still compelled to play make-believe. So she reached out her arms, kicked off, and swam over to Kate Green's little solar system at a leisurely pace.
"Waaait, mermon, come back, I wanna be your frieeeeend." She spoke with a weak but playful tone. As she approached, she dived under the water. A few seconds later a feathery hand patted Kate's hand and shoved her along. Another hand did the same thing with her shoulder, and then her calf, again and again.
Jun was gently (but with increasing speed) spinning Kate's floating body like a pinwheel.

Assessing the damage w/ Naoki
Roleplay posts: 309
Age: 19
Physical Description: Kate is built slenderly, but working in her gardens and on the field has defined her muscles. Her eyes shine with an amber hue and her silvery hair never seems to get dirty from the work she still insists on doing herself.
(Full Sized image: http://imgur.com/bJTWavF)
Clothes and Equipment: She wears a pink apron on her that has a simple square pattern. Underneath, brownish green pants and a black tube top. Many tools, such as a flower shovel, a small rake and a spray bottle, fit inside her pockets. A large red ribbon complements her hair.
When she was working at the Midnight Sun, she replaced her red ribbon with a black one she was gifted when she first joined. She also had a green dress, gifted to her by Naoki.
After being gone away for a long time, she has since expanded her wardrobe, and tends not to think about her clothes too much and follows whatever trends Naoki says are popular now.

"Oh no... I've been caught in a whirlpool!", Kate yelped as her tiny frame pivoted around the pond. Funny as the situation was, Kate couldn't help the feeling that her antics were kind of ruining the sanctity of the place. This, of course, made it even funnier. If Jun kept it up she would be unable to keep herself afloat. So she used the back of her hand (at the right point in her rotation) to splash a stream of water towards Jun to shoo her.
"Hehehehe. I challenge you to a duel." She was doing a mermon voice which sounded a lot like actual mermons, if they did exist.
"We will play the game-" Kate rotated away.
"of our people. You must float like a flower and the one-" Kate rotated away.
"who floats the longest shall be victorious. All means-" Kate rotated away.
"can be used to claim victory. Will you accept the quest?"
Kate lifted her arm and pointed at Naoki's general direction."You there! You shall be the judge!" She was still spinning at ludicrous speeds. In light of this, her confidence was staggering.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Naoki’s eyebrows raise. She looks over her shoulder as if expecting to see a more qualified judge.
“Very welll,” she says, becoming the stuffy mermon judge.
Glancing around, Naoki looks for a suitable perch. She finds it on one of the spring’s sides: a suitably smooth spot upon which she sits. Crossing one leg over the other, Naoki leans forward, peering down from on high.
Deeming the vantage satisfactory, Naoki nods. She has a good view of the relevant area and, unless they move, she ought to be more or less out of the splash zone.
“Ready…”

"Very well my mermon friend, I shall beat you at your own nefarious game!" Jun quickly extended her body out and flapped around until she was stable. Then she gently paddled so she'd spin in one direction, and started to rotate like Kate. The colorful floating lilies followed their movements, and as they rotated simultaneously, the flowers would alternate between them. As they did so, their colors resonated with their individual natures and emotions so that as they gently shifted colors as they moved between the two. Eventually, they settled into a path that looked like an infinity symbol from above.  |
