[by saturday evening, shadowheart can be found at the outdoor hotspring. she's sitting in one of the shallower pools in the water, still wearing her sexy angel costume white dress, but sitting hunched so she's sinking in the shallow water up to her neck. she has a glass of mixed drink from the bar here with her.
also, the owlbear cub is playing in the foliage nearby, doing cute things like hunting the lack of animals that are here.
shadowheart waves.]
Oh, hello. It's not quite scalding enough to distract, but it's pleasant.
[uruha is definitely not dressed like someone who plans on getting into the water. he is just wandering around, looking deep in thought as he gazes at the springs, before he glances over at shadowheart and gives a peace sign in return greeting.]
... Well, it's nice to know they're not being stingy on the luxuries around here.
[there is a long pause. like, unnecessarily long as uruha glances around, breathes in, breathes out, and then gives the most anticlimatic answer of—]
Yeah, they're pretty common in Japan. We've got a big bathing culture.
If a little random. [glances around again. how's the owlbear doing.] It does kind of feel like this place slapped together a bunch of stuff they thought people would like.
Circumstances weren't great, and it's not like I have no regrets or anything, but... I had some time in the moment itself to accept that I wasn't going to make it, so there's that.
If anything, it's jarring how uneventful the transition to the afterlife has been.
I can see how having a little time to think changes things. Though - sometimes when the sword is hanging over your head, you still manage to convince yourself it isn't going to fall.
I still feel that way, I think, precisely because this place is so... wrong.
... Mm, it really doesn't feel like an afterlife. [he reaches up to rub his left shoulder.] Easy to think that you just got transported to some other realm, even if you remember dying.
