It doesn't take Thorn long to get something put together when she really wants to.

This was a perfect example of that.

Less than twelve hours after a conversation with Val in the RDI, and after roping Mist into it as well, plans were set and made and put into motion.

An entire day, from dawn well past sundown, booked at Rhy'din's version of Dorado Beach, and it's adjacent Spa Botanico, for an undetermined number of people. Men and women alike.

Oh yes, it's Spa Day again.

The amenities were, spectacular, the service an absolute dream. It was a no holds barred day of pampering.

After being pampered and buffed and rubbed and, oh my! a new outfit, or twelve, maybe an entire wardrobe might be in order.

With any number of boutiques offering any number of goods from vintage punk, to one of a kind creations, it was possible that anyone, maybe even everyone, found something to take home.

A day of indulgence, in the redneck's mind (also thanks to Val's mention) wouldn't be complete without an evening spent enjoying a different sort of athleticism.

She'd rented the club to keep management from being pissy if, when, any of their number felt the urge to take the stage.

To round out the day, dinner and drinks for those interested.

Reflecting Rhy'din's melting pot, the restaurant's fare was a well balanced, five star blend of cuisines from across the Multiverse, and across the Planes.

(Reactions, interaction, logs if you have them, fashion, have at it! If Thorn has your character's contact information, they're invited.)

Pharlen

Pharlen was in, anything requiring a lot of laying around in hot water with food and fancy drinks was always appreciated. This time around, she did not arrive pre-grunged, but showed up in her trademark Mrs. Cleaver scoop necked swing dress in pink with white dots and so many petticoats. Matchy matchy accessories, because if anyone was going to tell the timelord that she was a fashion disaster, she wanted to make sure it was a terrifying experience.

Shopping wasn't her bag, but she would camp out nearby to keep an eye on everyone else's purchases, and possibly slip little bits and bobs into their bags and boxes for fun later. Pharlen's level of humor veered widely between Fart Jokes Are Hilarious and The English Aren't Dry and Droll Enough, so expect anything from rubber snakes to witty little notes tucked randomly through the undies.

Pharlen wasn't one to dance alone, but she would gladly bring out her guitar to play heady flamencos and romantic nocturnes for the dancers as they liked. And when she played, tiny were-lights would dance around her, spirits called to sport about in the music.

The redneck might spend the rest of the day in varying states of dress and undress, but she started the day out in in apricot and chocolate. On needle thin heels she sauntered her way into one of the changing rooms.

Through out the day she threw herself unreservedly into whatever was offered. Laughing and chatting with her compatriots whether stripped to the waist for a massage, or lolling about in a tub of a tub of heated, clay mud with an herbal infusion.

When it came to shopping, she didn't hang back, though she did spend quite a lot of time looking through a few of the repurposing boutiques.

At the club she was exuberant, and had no qualms about taking the stage, ever.

Dinner would be when she seemed reluctant. Holding back just a bit when it came to eating, well anything really. Her twitch regarding food did not, however, stop her from enjoying the company of the women who were around her.

Pharlen's sneaky gifting she enjoyed, immensely. There's some squeezing hugs and cheek kisses involved, oh yes indeed.

For shopping and spa time, Val went for comfort, something easy to get in and out of, and flats - much as she had become rather comfortable in heels, today was about relaxing, and having fun! A day of shopping and pampering served to remind her of her days as an adept, and she threw herself in whole-heartedly, buying a few things for herself, and spending no little amount of time encouraging the rest of the group.

Since Thorn had rented out the entire club, Val decided it was an excellent opportunity to 'strut her stuff' so to speak. Years of training had made her one of the most in-demand adepts Eglantine had to offer, and other than the semi-drunken evening with the girls (and Mason), and a few private performances for her beloved husband, this was the first time she would take the stage since soon after her debut. Both before and after, she would applaud and cajole, both appreciating the performances of others, and entreating the rest to try something new.

A day of pampering was a positive thing when you were trying to rejoin the living. The proximity of known faces in combination with the fairly public setting didn't hurt. Neither did the promise of food. Drinks and dancing were just a bonus. Anything to tear her away from the ghosts of Church House and the repair crew she'd hired.

Texts exchanged with Lucy after the invitation were all it took to propel her into the hands of a professional that sighed over her split ends and frowned at her cuticles. One very confused spa attendant even attempted to buff the subtle blue lines from her skin with this or that potion before the exasperated woman reassured him that they did not, in fact, rub out.

Shae forgave it all for the sake of a massage from a woman who might have had four arms. The day slipped on and she let herself enjoy the company, feeling lighter than she had in weeks. Slower to smile, she nevertheless laughed when the occasion called for it, finding amusement in colorful observations floated by the others.

Although still baffled by the expansive nature of the shops, Shae tagged along with Lucy while the gallery owner indulged. Eventually even coaxing the redhead into helping her pick out a few outfits to augment her own wardrobe. Who was she to pass up the chance for tips from a master, after all?

At the club she wasn't shy about dancing and drawing others into doing the same. Impromptu belly dance lessons on offer for the hell of it.

Jewell and Sapphire showed up for spa day together in leggings, t-shirts, and flip flops with no intention of going anywhere except the spa. They put on robes and slippers, and moved from service to service throughout the day. They stopped in between mud baths and massages to have tea and snacks with anyone in the common relaxation rooms before going back for pedicures, manicures, facials, and whatever else the luxe place Thorn had chosen offered.

Mist Gul

A day at the spa, and shopping and dancing, it all sounded wonderful to Mist, particularly after a rough week. He arrived in demure robes of deep green and dim gold, then more or less trailed after Thorn.

It took a bit of time, but he started to get along with Pharlen. Even when he found a rubber spider in his bags.

At the club, he watched the ladies dancing in something more like reverence than avarice, and then gladly changed into sheer and clinging silks of gold, held chained around his hips, and took the stage himself.

A sublime creature, graced and elegant, and dance was another expression of heart and soul for him. But, he was right there for the belly dancing lessons, though he would be giggling and red faced for that.
