The Onsen, Friday Late Morning Through Afternoon

[intraspective]

Boy trouble and issues were totally the last thing on Ino’s mind as she leaned against the outside of the building and waited for Dojima-san to show up after her class. After all, not nearly so much fun bullying them into letting them go naked if only one of ‘them’ was there.

And, as she sipped her hot chocolate, she had to admit that part of it was purely the fact that Ino was rather certain that Dojima-san would be able to bully in a far more... diplomatic manner than Ino could.

Ino’s methods of intimidation were rather... blatant. She did a little spin out of pure anticipation and wondered if she ought to ask for bullying tips. Oooo, maybe!

[Ino is here for Dojima, but the onsen is totally open for your hot spring~y needs!]

Dōjima had been looking forward to this all through class when she breezed through the doors to the onsen, blatantly ignoring any NPC employees in her wake.

Yzma was a loon, but she was right in that it was all about style.

"Ohaiyo!" she announced cheerily, waving at Ino. "Are we ready to bring culture to Fandom?"

[intraspective]

"Ohaiyo! Fandom needs more culture," she said, grinning back and amused (and rather impressed) by the entrance. "And as that may be a challenge, how could I refuse? This is the first step of it, and it's such a nice one, don't you think?"

Dōjima winked at Ino and headed towards the changing rooms to drop off her things. "I say we just do it," she mused thoughtfully. "Asking permission is like admitting we're wrong."

And, of course, they were perfectly in the right.

[intraspective]

That got a grin.

"And it's easier to ask forgiveness than to request permission," she said lightly, keeping step with her. "Though I wouldn't apologize in any case. They're in the wrong totally more than we are since we're, you know, not."

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Who needs forgiveness?" Dōjima laughed. "They don't know any better, so I won't hold it against them."

She claimed a basket for her items, and quickly got ready. "I don't know about you, but I am sick of the cold. I've been looking forward to this all week."

[intraspective]

"You're nicer than me, I think. I don't mind snow," she opined, basketing her things and getting ready, "but the cold has seriously got to quit. I'm just glad my sore throat didn't stick around."

She grinned. "Let's go, come on, geez."

"I'd offer to race, but then they could throw us out for being uncivilized!"

Yurika headed in to the actual bath, making sure to set her towel off to the side where it was in-reach, yet stayed dry.

You never knew if you'd have to throw it at someone.

"This is fantastic," she sighed, slipping into the water. "I want one in the dorms."

[intraspective]

"Ah," Ino said mock-wisely as she took her time getting in, "but then we'd never leave and that's probably why they didn't put it in the dorms. They want to see their students every now and again."

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Pretty sure that some teachers wouldn't mind not seeing their students," she said wryly. "I don't think Yzma knows or cares who's in her class. If I'm not learning anything useful, I might as well be relaxing at the onsen."

[intraspective]

"Yzma?" Ino asked, rolling her head back and sighing at the hot water.

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"'Management Theory' teacher," she answered, waving one hand in the international sign for 'crazy'. "Lab coats, goggles, roller coasters, and lectures about using your minions properly."

[intraspective]

"I wish I had minions," she said, snickering. "Does she think you're all her minions then?"

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Nah, Toby's her TA, and he's totally her minion." Yurika made a happy sound and sank slightly lower in the water. "The rest of us practice being terrifyingly bitchy."

[intraspective]

"That almost sounds worth it," she said admiringly. "I can approve of bitchiness practice, though less so with... all the rest that seems to come with her class. At least, in practice, you could hope people gained a bit of backbone to stand their ground on stuff and not just passive-aggressive it around."

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"I can't approve of any class that makes me wear a tacky outfit, I just can't," she answered. "There's a reason I never take gym if I can help it."

Dōjima had never been the most athletic girl, either.

"How are your classes so far? Anything completely strange?"

[intraspective]

"We had to wear wigs in history, and then this week we had to defend a couch from hostile takeover," she said, grinning a bit. "Which is strange, but a fun sort of strange, you know?"

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"A hostile take over? In history?" Dōjima grinned in return. "If my classes had been more like that at home, I might have paid more attention."

[intraspective]

"In the Academy," she said, "even as really little kids our re-enactments of hostile takeovers were far more violent than defending a couch from people with nerf guns. So I found I actually paid less attention rather than more."

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"In my world, hostile takeovers are the territory of the boardroom and the bedroom," Yurika replied. "A different sort of violence, I guess."

[intraspective]

"Less blood, presumably," Ino commented. "At least where the orders are being given. I imagine boardrooms would be hard to keep clean."

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Blood is a bitch to get out of marble floors," Dōjima sighed. "And if you get it on the curtains? Talk about a waste."

Dammit, thinking about home was making her a bit nostalgic, and Yurika grinned. "Think they've realized we didn't wear suits, yet?" she asked, wriggling her toes. "We need to bring culture to Fandom more often."

[intraspective]

"Fandom needs more culture," she said, smiling at the change in subject. "It white-washes a lot of the good out in the name of making everyone equal. Sometimes it's okay to be different, even if not everyone likes that different."
