WEEK 7

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You've all been here for well over a month and it's getting harder and harder to keep spirits up. There has been small hope thanks to a mysterious person talking to you through your dreams. A small hope that maybe you'll be able to escape and get your friends back, but you'll have to escape first.

There are no new floors to explore, the outside area remains the same as it's always been. Might as well get comfy here.

11 guests remain.]

[ SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY ]

[Elsa actually looks pretty relaxed for once. Which is surprising because when she's left alone with her thoughts and nothing else to do, she usually goes to some pretty dark place. But... she seems okay, slouched down in the hot water up to just below her chin, and eyes nearly shut. They snap open though, when she hears Wendy step in, and raises herself up just enough so that she can talk.]

I suppose so. It's been some time since I took a bath like this... I almost forgot how relaxing it can be.

[kindaruledatit]

[It's almost like she's an entirely new person. Wendy thinks it's nice, seeing her at peace, if just for a brief moment.] Whoa, dude. Sorry I broke the peace. Looks like I was right.

[She movies forward, stepping into the tub without testing the waters because that's what you do.]

Oof. Yeah, I may have tried this out last week with Namine. It's pretty cool.

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh, no! Please, don't worry about interrupting. This is a public room after all, I didn't expect to remain alone for much longer.

[It's amazing, how different Elsa can look just with the simple change of not having her shoulders bunched up like a spring wound too tight. The dark circles under her eyes are still there, as is that certain sad air about her, but for now, all of that is just a bit muted.]

I know I was paranoid about it when the room was first revealed, but... it turned out that this bath is just what some of us needed, isn't it?

[kindaruledatit]

Eeh, I'm just messing you you. [She laughs, finally finding the water the right temperature for her to lower herself into. Aaaah. She takes a seat not too far from Elsa, with the warm water coming up to her neck.]

Yeah, you know, I kind of thought it was going to be this weird trap, but it turns out that it's actually really fun being in here.

[Elsa may not be able to tell in the water, but Wendy reclines back against the tub wall.]

Not like I've ever gotten the chance to do something like this before.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Oh right. Teasing. It's been a while since anyone did that with her. Everyone seemed to be walking on eggshells around her, ever since Anna was killed...]

Do people in your world not have baths like this?

[She talked to some others about it, and they seemed familiar about the concept...?]

[kindaruledatit]

[Wendy is certainly the person to do some gentle teasing. Walking on eggshells was fine and good, but doing it for weeks? Nah, that wasn't her style.

....Huh. She raises her brow at that.]

Hot tubs? No, yeah, we do. They're just usually the kind of thing rich and classy people have. My family's just like, commoners, you know? Roughing it.

[defyingfrigidity]

... Why would this be something only the rich can enjoy? Do your towns not have public baths like this?

[Arendelle doesn't have a bathhouse exactly, but between the sauna that Oaken fellow runs and the natural hot springs clustered just outside of the trolls' territory, everybody still has the opportunity to enjoy this sort of relaxation.]

That just seems absurd, that some are unable to enjoy things such as this.

[kindaruledatit]

...Wait, what? [And this is where Wendy becomes the confused one. Because ahahahha the Oregon sticks are just about the total opposite of a magical Scandinavian kingdom.]

Uh, no? We don't have public baths, unless you're thinking about pools? [Buuut she's probably not, so. Hmm.] Most people just... bath on their own, you know? Normal stuff.

[defyingfrigidity]

[??? Geez they're really confusing each other today, huh?]

But you said "hot tubs" are only for rich people. How are they different from this?

[kindaruledatit]

....They're, uh, different in the way that people like that can afford them, and other people can't?

[???? American capitalism?? How does she explain this to a queen??]
