β βΈ» hinoki wood bath
[ Lucy's had a long day at work. She's used to that, but every job she's had up until now has been either in a legal grey area or completely illegal -- now, however, she has a completely legit job in cyber security at an adult lounge. It feels unusual to do things like get to know her coworkers, and have legally mandated breaks, and not have to look over her shoulder for cops the whole day.
Her commute is very short, given that the lounge hovers right above the Evergreen Terraces apartments, but today she'd decided to wander a little after work, and had found this place. Oca Street Bathhouses; she'd been able to smell the steam and aromatics from the street. A quick trip back to get a bathing suit had been easy enough.
Apparently she's not the only Otherworlder that's had that same idea, which makes her vaguely suspicious they're about to be drugged or kidnapped, so she'll keep an eye out. Until then, Lucy is determined to relax in the hinoki wood bath -- it's framed by dark wood on all sides, stone edges, bamboo so tall she swears she can see it growing. Lucy's bathing suit is perhaps a tiny bit more conservative than one might expect from a person that spends just about all of her time in her apartment naked, but she'd thought it was cute and practical, and that's the only parameters that matter to her. Almost completely backless, it shows off the cybergear in her back, functional as much as it is decorative. Lounging on one side of the bath and seated on an underwater bench, Lucy takes a hit from her verve vape -- she's taken a shine to the club drug, and since she'd been gifted the vape, hey, she's not gonna waste it -- and blows the unscented smoke out slowly, upward, away from anybody else.
She's... feeling good. It's not a feeling she trusts all that much, but she's determined to enjoy it. The verve helps. Makes her feel more connected. ]
Never been to a place like this before. Relaxation wasn't exactly a high priority where I come from.
