Bath House Opening

March 9th 2008

Players: Blu'Shim, Tikk, Arachandria, Markque, Meredin, Jessika, Amari, Alance, Legacy

Bath House - Common Room

Dark rich wooden walls line the expansive room showing off the beautiful pale gray Melorian marble floor and slick blue lapis lazuli pillars with sparkling veins of gold throughout, support the high vaulted ceiling of the common room. The common room, despite its size, is constantly warm and slightly damp with steam issuing into the area.

On either side of the room there are little nooks with couches, low tables and fireplaces where people can sit and talk before or after using the baths. The couches are covered in a soft blue fabric and kept in good repair despite the humidity. The tables are carved of the same smooth lapis lazuli as the pillars.

In the centre of the room is a large communal pool with steaming hot water in it for soaking, next to it a bit closer to a fireplace in the wall, is a smaller tub for bathing in, a small walkway divides the two. Opposite the entrance is a doorway with beautiful strings of blue lapis beads hanging in it, blocking the way to the private fancy bathing chambers. Along the walls are stylish candelabras each holding a few candles to provide a more intimate atmosphere.

An adorable gnomish girl, Adva, is often seen wearing a grin causing dimples in her pudgy cheeks, she circles the area with a basket of scents, soaps and soft towels for sale at reasonable prices. A more serious looking gnomish man, Dathan, accepts the payments for the use of the establishment when the owners aren't about, seated behind a counter in an alcove near the main door.

At the counter looking very anxious is a small female cloud gnome. Blu'Shim seems to be sitting and waiting for the door to open. After so many hours posting flyers and posters around town she had so hoped that people would come to the grand opening. When a couple of people pop in she grins "Hello and Welcome to Sparkling Bubbles Bath House, please come in and make yourself at home, take a soak, or take a bath" she looks so excited.

Having heard the crier and curious of the bath house, and possibly a nice warm bath to enjoy herself in. Arachandria enters. Brushing snow from her shoulders and hood as she pulls it back to reveal the snow white hair with drifts of silver. Looking around as she tugs the gloves from her fingers and tucks them into her belt. Pushing some of her hear from her face. She looks to the bubbly gnome and chuckles warmly. "Which do you suggest, little gnome?" Smiling as she lets the warmth of the room slowly seep into her cold bones.

Holding the door open, for a very nice looking woman is Que. today he is wearing the hooded aspects of his cloak, and merely looks about after Meredin enters.

Tikklen Oean Baer Little cloak Gaerfen Glittergild Turen Jenny is in the warm waters already. "Ah yes, this is much better then the hot springs, Why? Because its closer to everyone and you don’t have those mean things coming out of places randomly attacking you."She states to no one. Looking around she frowns as the mood is not yet festive for her. Oh no, A little flutter of her hands, And wave of her soapy bubbles that soon become a crown on top of her head she finds herself much happier.

Meredin was wrapped up like an eskimo to keep herself from getting frozen on the way here. Upon getting inside the elf pushes her cloak's hood down before looking around and saying, "Ooo!"

Blu'Shim looks up at the woman who asked about which one to try "Well if you just need to warm up and soak some tired muscles there's the big pool for that, if you're looking to scrub some of the woodsy grit from ya then there's the smaller tub there" she says as she points to them both. "Oh and if you're a real shy type we have the private bathing chambers where you can do either as well at the back" she looks over and giggles at Tikk's antics already "Tikklen so glad to see you!"

Markque glances to meredin, and then shrugs "I wasn't looking to take a bath perse, just support the opening, but your more than welcome, I will cover any costs affiliated with it.".. shrugs then looks at Blu'Shim "Excuse me, what are the cost involved to set up like an account here?"

Glancing to Tikk...Gods help her to try to remember anything but Tikk, and chuckles softly. She glances to Meredin..and pauses before the smile grows warm again. Glancing back to Blu, Arach nods and smiles. "Hardly shy, but I think a soak would do me some good. What is the cost to enjoy such waters?' She's already pulling the heavy white cloak from her shoulders and draping it over her arm. She smiles warmly to the gnome and pauses as others have questions as well. Falling silent to let them establish their wishes.

Tikk looks up and waves before standing up. What she she wear. A teeny tiny blue purple dotted bikini, "First time I wore it today!" She points at the bathing clothing. Ploppin back down into the water with a wash of bubbles up over the gnome and then back down to the water with aplop. Blu'Shim smiles up at the man "Just a silver a dip, soap included. And if ya just wanna get warm we do have our lovely seating areas on either side of the pools" she points to the nooks with the large fireplaces, the anxiety seems to be draining from the small blue woman as she goes on.

Meredin peers at Que rather oddly as she says, "I never mentioned anything about taking one?" She'd accuse him of mindreading or something but, well, she honestly didn't have it in thought!

A whistle comes from Tikk when she surfaces. A finger is curled at Adva, and when the girl comes over a bouncing tikk gleefully tells, with mildly quiet whispers, her desires. Its short. Four washclothes are delivered to the gnome and the woman dips back under the bubble coated surface.

Dadum.

Dadum.

Markque shrugging, as he makes his way over towards one of the nook areas, to take a seat, and finally removing his hood..."I was just offering" smiles warmly, but doesn't say anything else on the matter, but his gaze sets on the Blu'Shim "So to set up an account, where people from another business, could come use the place at will, will cost us 1 silver per person? Is that negotiable?, perhaps a monthly stipend of some kind?"

Arach reaches into a small pouch at her hip and hands Blu a coin. "For myself, and the rest in donation to the opening establishment." Her smile is warm as she doubts any protest would be made, but shushes them if they come. "It is a good thing to know where to come if one truly wishes to be warmed properly." Arach steps off to one side and sets the cloak down. She works the chain shirt off of her form and works at stripping down to the light cotton dress worn beneath the gold dress. Everything folded up neatly and the beautiful mace set atop of it all as she moves for the water to join Tikk.

Dadum.

Blu'Shim nods to the man with a smile "Sure we're always up for negotiating" she grins "depends on the size of the business and stuff like that, but we could definitely work out something" she grins as she can see Tikk, being, well...Tikk.

Meredin goes to naturally follow after Markque since she didn't feel like having to stand. "You just want to see me running around naked," replies the elf in a matter-of-fact tone.

Tikk oddly isn’t coming up for air lately. Oh no. She is staying down there an awful long time…Curiously long. Dadum.

Markque slipped into a cozy seat in front of the fireplace in the Nook on East Wall.

Markque chuckles and shakes his head "No, really its not like that at all, I don't look at you in that way, I was just being kind nothing more. Oh and that doesn't mean you probably wouldn't like nice, just saying" holds his hands up in surrender, as he takes a seat at the fireplace..

A moment's pause...there was a gnome in the water. She begins searching for the aquatic Tikk beneath the bubb;es, even going so far as submerging entirely.

Interesting...Arach is not as graceful as some, but she's not really meant to be. The silver in her hair glittering strangely now that her hair is wet.

Tikk Suddenly jumps out of the water. With a crown of suds on her head, she shouts out at the top ofher lungs "Bahaa…" And dissolves into a hacking fit of water induced coughing. And then she sucks in a bubble and the gnome turns. Well. Blue for amoment. Meredin says, "Thbt, see? I knew you just wanted to see me going around naked!" Of course she was just being her usual self. Though the gnome turning blue makes her stop poking fun at Que and peer towards Tikk instead. "Do gnomes normally do that?"

Arach barely even blinks as the Gnome surfaces screaming at her. She chuckles and pats the gnome on the back gently, trying to help her breath. "Come now...I don't think you're suppose to swallow the bubbles." She smiles and glances to Meredin and shakes her head. "There, you alright? That looked a bit nasty there...all that screaming."

Markque peers over at Tikk and shakes his head "No not normally, appears she is choking or something, perhaps you should administer some help? Or perhaps that other person there will help Tikk to breath or something?" tilts his head

"Hey Tikk you looked like me for a moment!" Blu'Shim says as she laughs, and then walks over to where Markque and Meredin went, the east Nook. "I always look that colour" Blu'Shim says to Meredin with a grin and then turns to Markque "How's 2 gold a month for two of ya?" she says having thought about it "And nothing if you'd like to just come in and get warm by sitting here" she says.

Tikk frowns, "I wasn’t frightening?" She asks and sighs, "It has to be the bathing suit. Its not imposing enough." She stops and snaps "The wand, Its gotta be the wand." She coughs again and frowns. "Nu huh!" She calls out, "I couldn’t be that color, Your to pretty." She calls out. A smile comes to her face.

"Besides." The gnome giggles, "I didn’t eat enough blue fruit!"

Dathan comes close to the water to where Arachandria and says "Excuse me miss, if you'll come see me when you're finished with your bath. I have some change for you" he sounds so proper and serious before turning away from the pool.

She smiles to Tikk and shakes her head, "I am afraid not, little gnome." She moves and reclines against the edge of the tub and relaxes, enjoying the hot, fragrant waters with a long sigh. "The bathing suit does little to frighten. Perhaps a green and pink combination? That sounds quite terrifying." She glances to Dathan and shakes her head. "There is no need. As I said, it is donation for the bath house, I plan on frequenting often enough that such a thing is proper." Smiling as she leans her head back and closes her eyes.

"Well it wouldn't just be for me, or just here, any of the people associated with the 'Lyceum', so two gold permonth for its members then?" Que asks, looking at Blu'Shim, and extends a hand "Hi, I'm Que one of the members of the Lyceum, since each member, does different things, but all related to arcane, and divine, but enough about the shop, lets here more of what brought the thought behind this place?" Que remarks, now that Tikk is fine

Tikk sighs and settles back in, "I need music. No. lights, No…Both."She frowns and snaps her fingers, "Darntittleturn, Where is a Bard when You need one!" She looks at Arach and her face lights up, "YES! That is it! A Krakken skinned suit. Why didn’t I think of it." She moves to hop out of the water and scrambles towards the residence door. "OH the idea’s…" She calls behind her. Lady’s and gents, Tikk failed a will save.

Dathan turns and smiles politely and nods "I'll make sure Miss Blu knows" he says to Archandria.

Arach glances to Tikk, "Or perhaps a costume? It would be most appropriate." Said at the retreating figure of the gnome before she chuckles and lets her arms drape the tub along the edge. "Of course." Said to Dathan as she simply focuses on relaxation and her own thoughts.

Blu'Shim smiles to Que "Well, my brother and I loved going to the hotsprings but for us the trip took a really long time, so we started talking about maybe setting up something here in the city with some help from a couple of mages at Mimms. and Voila" she spreads her little arms out to encompass the room "we thought of this. And the private baths are big enough so that mums and da's can bring the kids and they can't run around like, hooli... hooli... bah like Tikk" she says with a giggle.

Meredin blinks when Blu'Shim comes over to them. "But your s'posed to be blue!" she tells her. "And it's nice seeing somewhere like the springs people don't have to spend all day getting to."

"HEhehe!" Tikk’s laughter is seen long before she ever is, What is in her hands a small animated Kraken from Vintermor Toys in one hand, in the other… a rather oniminus looking wand. "Play time!!!" She announces and tosses the toy at the pools before her wand comes around and tapping towards the creature….Uhoh.

Blu'Shim shouts "Tikk! No!" she shakes her head.

Markque nods "Most impressive indeed, the arrangement with the magi" glances at meredin, and nods once again "Not bad........." A pause now at the antics of Tikk, as an eyebrow raises, and he shakes his head, beginning to rise "I will see you later at the shop? Have fun" this said to Meredin, as he draw up his hood once more.

By the time you have to tell Tikk no. its way way to late. The Kraken doll expands in size suddenly, and what was onc maybe a foot and half in size grows to three feet. Or about the size of a gnome. It lashes out, though does little more then offer slaps at the water and swim around in a pool. Tikk claps as this was a good thing in her eyes.

A cold blue eye opens and looks to the....both eyes open as something is thrown into the water that resembles...oh no. Both eyes close as the wand is waved at the toy kraken. She hears the sudden splashing of the tentacles as the toy, assumingly, comes to life. She looks towards Tikk for a moment. "All I ask is that you keep the thing from me? I'm not fond of creatures in the water." She looks to the Kraken splashing and just watches bemusedly.

Meredin blinks as Tikk throws the toy into the tub and causes it to come alive. Uh oh. At least it can't get very far out of the tub? "Uhm, see you later," she says to Que.

"Oy Tikk, don't you make that any bigger" Blu'Shim says too her her little eyes squinted at her telling the other gnome she means it. "Sheeesh we just opened and she's trying to frighten away our customers" she says to Meredin with a head shake and then a chuckle.

Markque steps out into the street leaving the warm moist air behind.

Markque has left.

Arach only chuckles and glances to Blu. "I think it's quite entertaining. You know. It would be something to have a pool for children with such things in the water to play with." Offering as she watches the kraken for a moment and grins, "Or tempt the warriors into the waters to save the other bathers? You could make a show for the customers with a sword swinging warrior thinking a real kraken is in the waters."

Blu'Shim looks to Tikk and her eyes go wide at the idea presented by the woman in the pool "Supergnome?" she says sounding excited.

Tikk giggles and entrusts her wand with Blu. She moves to slip back into the water and plays with the Kraken a bit. Tikk stops and looks at Blu. "SUPERGNOME." She gasps. "Where …who…" she looks at Dathan.

"You could offer a show once a month. Perhaps a play of the mighty Gnome's Slaying the Evil Kraken...or something similarly appropriate. Offer drinks...perhaps talk to Andrew and have a feast? I would assuredly attend." She smiles at the two. "Even hire or attain a mage to offer spectacular lighting and maybe a bard for some fantastic music?"

Meredin says, "I don't think a little thing like that will scare too many people away," before blinking again at Tikk declares 'supergnome'. "Bwah..?" she murmurs in obvious confusion.

Blu'Shim puts the wand in a sooper seekrit pocket in her dress "Shea, we could dress him up as Supergnome and you could be his Tikklen in distress and he could save you from the big bad Krakken!!"

Tikk blushes a bright purple that goes to the top of her tippity top of her ears. "OOH Shea wouldn’t save me like that." she says quietly and looks away, "Not for me."

"Well, I'm not much for acting...but if you've ever the need for a water giant, I would happily don costume for you and help out. I like the idea of having a baths in such a cold place. And if I'm going to be a regular customer...I may as well contribute, yes?" She smiles to the pair and shrugs her shoulders softly. "I think it would be quite a bit of fun, actually."

Meredin just feels rather confused as to what's going on! Which isn't unusual, either, and she does a good job of hiding it. "Giant what now?"

Blu'Shim giggles at the ideas now of putting on a show "I think thats a lovely idea" she says to Tikk and Arachandria, she turns to say something and sees the confused look. "Oh supergnome is a gnome that Tikklen dreams about at night, Shea is my brother who I think Tikk has a crush on" she whispers "So I suggested we dress him up like supergnome and put on a theatrical show of Tikk being attacked by her little Krakken and having Shea rescue her from it. And this lovely lady just offered to play a giant in the little production" she explains with a grin "What fun it would be, wouldn't it?"

"I DO Not!" Tikk protests and pouts, "I don’t have a crush on Shea, Its Supergnome who has my heart." She pats her chest and giggles. Even if she is blushing.

Arach only chuckles and shakes her head. Relaxed and warm since she got here, she enjoys the atmosphere more than she thought she would initially. "Or you could teach the krakken how to give a good massage. My shoulder is killing me." Said a bit grumpily as she rolls he mentioned shoulder and sighs a bit. She submerges and while under the water and fixes her hair back into a ponytail and comes up, tying the bit of leather.

Blu'Shim hmms softly "I don't know if we have anything that will help that right now but, does that frequently cause you pain?" she asks a bit concerned with the womans uncomfort.

Dadum, Tikk is under the water again. Dadum.

Meredin says, "Oh, I see," though she peers at Tikk as if she doesn't believe the gnome! Mostly because for once the elf actually saw through someone trying to bluff. Or she would peer at her if she was still above water.

"Just an old complaint...The cold tends to make it louder than is more often. You'd think a cleric would be better with such things." Chuckling softly as she remains relaxed and where she is. "I do mean what I say, Lady Blu'shim. If you've a need for any help with the establishment, I am your servant." She offers a smile to the woman.

Blu'Shim nods adding a curtsy "Alright and when you're not almost naked I'll properly introduce myself" she says with a giggle "for now Blu'Shim is fine, as those who have seen me in battle can attest too. I am no lady" she says with a mischievious wink. "As for that shoulder, you give me a couple of days and I'll have a salve for you"

Nodding her head. "I'm afraid I'm not much worth in a battle. I'm not much of a cleric, though I offer my aid where I can. If it be for the cause of a bath house or for the Gods..I hold little back. My name is Arachandria...a name that has rather haunted me...but the one my mother chose." Chuckling softly as she shrugs again. "I am grateful for it."

Dadum, Tikk is still under the bubbly surface of the water.

Well since the woman introduced herself, guess Blu'Shim should introduce herself. The small bluish coloured woman takes a deep breath and says "My name is Tallulah Elbereth Githoniel Lyric Bluebell Mahola of the Skyye clan, I come from the highest high on the tallest tall of the biggest and bestest mountain in all of Meloria, my friends call me Blu'Shim, my lovers moan and call me Blu. I'm an apothecary and leather worker as well as part owner of this beautiful establishment" she says with a bow. "And that's me."

Meredin says, "I think I'm gonna head back to the Lyceum. It was nice meeting you all!" to Blu'Shim and Arachandria mostly since Tikk was playing scuba diver gnome.

Tikk starts to float

Blu'Shim turns and bows to Meredin "Thank you so much for coming and please come by anytime" she says with a grin "well anytime we're open" she says afterwards.

Meredin says, "Will do," as she offers a wave to Blu'Shim and then pulls her hood up, heading outside into the snow!

Meredin steps out into the street leaving the warm moist air behind.

Meredin has left.

--- A few hours later ---

Amari has arrived.

Alance has arrived.

Upon entering the bath one would notice the small bluish cloud gnomish woman. She seems to be picking up some wet towels that were left on the floor. Before heading towards the counter again.

Tikk is floating face down in the pool.

Amari steps into the bath house with a smile on her lips. Holding her husband's hand and flirting it would seem. She looks around the place as she enters and then she spots the little one floating face down. She suddenly becomes serrious and rushes over to help the little thing out. She jumps right into the water with her boots on and all and turns her over.

Tikk sputters when she turns over and coughs up a bit of water. A minuature Kraken pulls at Amari's feet lightly as she jumps into the water.

Alance glances at Blu flashing her a smile until Amari rushes past to where Tikk is face down. He moves that way a bit slower as he's still in armor.

Blu'Shim turns around and sighs "Oh Tikk" she says with a shake of her head "I told you to stop freaking people out like that, now you've gone and made this lady's stuff all wet" she notices the clunking man and turns to look at him, when he smiles she frowns a little "Wait I know you from somewhere don't I?" she asks and then shrugs "Any place, Welcome to Sparkling Bubbles Bath House, feel free to take a look around, 1 silver a dip and you get a nice bar of soap with that" she says eying Tikk afterwards.

Tikk coughs and sputters and looks at Blu, "I didn't try, the kraken held me down!" she pouts.

Jessika steps into the bath house as she hears Blu welcome everyone, she smiles as she looks around "Wow this place looks great" she says admiring the lapis lazuli pillars. "One silver you say?" she asks the small gnomish woman.

Alance smiles at Blu "Hello Blu-shim, we have met a few times here and there" He shakes his head at Tikk "Are there changing rooms?"

Amari tries to right the little Tikk and stands up more fully giving the little kraken a raised brow. But she can't seem to stop the smile from breaking through her firm look. She climbs out as best she can and gives Tikk a hand if she needs it.

Blu'Shim shakes her head at Alance still not quite remembering his name "Nope, if you're gonna sit in a pool to bath or to soak, we figure we'll see your bits anyway" she giggles "that is unless you wanted to use a private bathing chamber, those are big enough for a small family and are also 3 silver" she smiles.

Jessika steps in further and takes off her heavy black woolen cloak "It sure is nice in warm in here, like Tuli's fires" she says with a smile. "I would like to just soak in the large pool if you don't mind Miss" she says to Blu'Shim "Are you alright?" she asks Tikk as she steps closer.

Tikk nods slowly, "yeah, More has tried to kill me before and hasn't done it." She smiles and beams up at the bigguns. "Are you here to bath!" She stands up and runs from one pool to the other, cannon balling in the latter. A plop of bubbles flies every where.

Alance chuckles at Blu shim "I meant so I can put my Armor somewhere is all" He reaches to start unbuckling the full plate armor.

Amari stands there dripping and watches the cannon balling tikk with a wry smirk,"We are not so shy as all that I don't guess." she says looking back to Alance."Or are we?" she asks as she takes off her cloak and looks for a place to hang it while it drips dry.

Blu'Shim ohs and giggles "She points to a stand and some pegs by the door for armor and cloaks" she can't help but giggle any time Tikk starts up in the pools. She goes over to Jessika and gets the silver from her and smiles as she hands it over to Dathan. "Well enjoy yourselves" she says to the new people.

Jessika starts to undress, first taking off her cloak completely and hangs it up, then she puts her pack down, listening to everything clank as stuff falls over wincing a bit hoping that she hasn't broken anything. Next off comes her robe and boots, as she peels down she giggles at Tikk as she cannon balls in the pools. Finally when she's standing there in just her golden hued skin, she steps over to the pool to test the water and then jumps in.

Amari does much the same as Jessika, unlacing her wet boots and setting them aside hoping that they might dry out a little. She slips the shoulder straps of her vestments off and hangs them up also. She leaves on her circlet amidst the waves of red hair and an amulet dangles between her breasts. She hands Blu'shim a silver as she goes over to the pool and steps into it. Looking back over her shoulder she gives her husband a wink,"You coming?" she asks as she slides into the warm water with a satisfied smile.

Alance laughs "It's easy for you two to get out of your clothes, takes me a bit more" He finishes the last buckle and sets his armor aside, quickly stripping out of his under armor, reaching into a belt pouch he tosses Blu a silver

Blu'Shim chuckles as she catches the silver from Alance as she walks over with the one from Amari to Dathan and hands them to him. "We weren't sure if anyone else was going to come out and see us tonight" she makes conversation with them as they all get into the pools.

Jessika slips into the warm waters of Large Communal Pool.

Jessika sighs as she lets the warm water engulf her, she sits on the marble shelf in the pool and leans her head back against the edge of the pool and closes her eyes "I had to try to find my way here, since leaving the temple I've not really explored the city much, but boy am I glad I found this place" she chuckles "mind if I come live here? it's so nice and warm" she jokes.

Amari watches Alance with a sly smile,"Oh I finished so quickly just so I could watch you undress handsome." she turns her gaze to Blu'shim then and smiles,"Well I only just heard about the place today but it is a wonderful idea. Much better than a little tub at home and so much closer than the hot springs." she says in a conversational way. She looks to Jessika then as she speaks and smiles,"I might join you too...what do you think love? Shall we move in?" she jokes as she back strokes over to Jessika and sits nearby on the ledge.

Alance shakes his head at the two women, blowing a kiss to Amari and winking to Jessika "Welll I don't know...wouldn't we get all wrinkly in the water so much?" He sits down next to Amari and relaxes a bit.

Blu'Shim sheepishly says "Yes well I didn't get all the posters up around the town as fast as I was hoping" and then chuckles "As for living here I'm not sure about that, do you really want to live with Tikk?" she giggles wondering what happened to Ms Tikklen. "Nah I think you should just visit regularly"

Splash, splash Splash goes the gnome.

Jessika feels the water moving towards her and opens one eye, seeing Amari she smiles "Well hello there" she says with a soft chuckle and closes her eye again after catching the wink from Alance. "Well I will definitely be back here lots" she says in a tired tone.

Amari chuckles and sighs as she leans her head back against the side of the big tub,"I dare say we might get all wrinkly." she sighs happily. "If you need a tour guide Jessika I'd be happy to help you out. Though if I keep you ignorant of the town's layout I can keep you at the shop and let you be my little pet." she teases with a dimpled smile.

Alance glances over "You feeling ok Jess?" He sinks into the water till it's over his head then surfaces and leans against Amari, relaxing "This will be great after a good fight"

Jessika's eyebrows go up but her eyes still don't open "Hmm?" she asks as if totally just immersing herself in the whole soaking in a hot bath feeling, when she realizes that Alance went under she turns her face partially to Amari "That could be fun" she peeks again with one eye and smiles "Either one" she grins and closes her eye again. When Alance surfaces she says "I'm in the ether I'm feeling so ok" she chuckles.

Dadum.

Dadum.

Blu'Shim leaves the bathers be as they soak, she goes about talking with Dathan as he cuddles little Adva on his lap. Looking like a pleasant conversation between the two gnomes. Finally after a few moments Dathan gathers Adva up and walks through the wall?? Blu turns around as if nothing strange happened and sits behind the counter watching the bathers.

Dadum.

Amari relaxes against the side also and when Alance goes under she gives him a sideways glance."Yes I think this might be nice after a good fight..." she

agrees.

Dadum.

Dadum.

"gnomeball!!!!" the sudden shout of Tikk comes as she splashes into the pool with everyone.

Amari says, "If you like Jess I can show you how to scry with a mirror. Have you ever seen it done?" she asks in a conversational tone. And then the gnome ball hits...and she is splashed mightily. She is unphased save a smirk and a wiping off of her face with her hand."

Jessika laughs as she gets splashed with water after she jumps up from surprise as the Tikk ball hits the water. As she wipes the water off her face she looks over at Amari as she laughs and says "I'm sorry what was it you asked?" she doesn't seem to mind being splashed.

Amari smiles,"Oh I was saying that I could show you how to scry if you like...I have a mirror at home that I used for the spell."

Jessika listens as she sits back down in the water again "Oh well that sounds interesting, is it one of the spells the goddess bestows, or is it taught like the ones the magi use?" she asks sounding interested.

Tikk dives...and burples back up

Amari closes her eyes,"Oh it is a gift of the goddess."

Legacy has arrived.

Amari reclines in the pool with her eyes closed. Alance is to her right and Jessika a little ways off to her left. They all seem to be relaxing and soaking up the warmth of the large pool. Clothes and armor hang on the hooks nearby.

Blu'Shim disappears through a secret portal in the wall. Blu'Shim has left.

Legacy comes walking into the area, taking a moment to gaze around as he does so. He takes in a breath and stretches slightly, it would appear the man is soon to find sleep by the look in his eyes. He walks over, and dismisses the paladin's arm at his hip, hanging it and begins working off his armor.

Jessika sits in the pool along side Alance and Amari with her head leaning back against the edge of the pool, enjoying the relaxing warm water and having a conversation. "Well Amari I would love to learn the symbols for the spell" she says still sounding interested but a very relaxed interested.

Tikk splashes in the sudsy water before diving under and swimming around.

Amari 's eyes open when someone new comes in,"Oh hello Legacy." she says before giving her attention back over to Jessika,"I would be happy to show it to you on the marrow." she says in a simalarly relaxed tone.

Legacy stands there by the wall, motioning his hands to unclasp each piece of his masterwork armor calmly, sliding to hang it up as he does so. The tabard is neatly folded and placed to the side, and finally the man turns his head to look towards the group as he lowers his hands and motions to peel the robe up off his solid frame. The man holds numerous scars, all white lines over the years which show a militaristic background and tells many stories of his history that he would otherwise never talk about. He begins to make his way towards the waters and offers softly, "The skylord's blessing to you all.."

Tikk splashes around in the water suddenly trying to dive down to tickle people's toes.

Suddenly Jess jumps up again this time squealing "What the..?" she hollers out before she realizes the silly gnomish woman just tickled her toes.

Amari giggles and squirms to get away also backing up towards Jessica for a moment."Watch that gnome...she might bite." she says in a teasing tone.

Tikk pops her head up and "Nar Nar Nar!!!" At Amari

Tikk stops and jerks her head towards a wall. Looking like Lemur from the Lion King. She blinks a few times before trying to leap out of the water.

Tikk lands on the deck, and runs full force for a wall.

Tikk disappears through a secret portal in the wall.

Tikk has left.

Legacy steps into the waters, letting the surface rise up his thighs and caress at his waist as he walks over, the man looks towards the opposite side of the pool, perhaps not wanting to assume he's welcome to sit down between the ladies without an invite. The sudden movement of Tikk is a bit surprising and he shifts his attention to look towards her and laughs, "By the light.. that little woman is an odd one."

Jessika looks over at the Paladin "Oh Hi there" she says to him just before she sits down again "And yes she does seem to be a little odd" she agrees with a chuckle.

From some where, You hear "Da DA Dun Da! Super gnome!"

Amari laughs aloud and the warmth and fullness of it fill the bath house,"Oh my life is interesting with gnomes around." she says as she sits back down. She notes that Alance has passed out with sheer relaxation nearby and smiles at him as she settles back into the water."Legacy this is Jessika. She is an acolyte from Tuli's temple, sister of my faith." she explains,"She going to be staying with us at the shop for a time." she explains as she waves you over to join them.

Jessika snickers as if waiting to see if Legacy tells Amari about they're first meeting.

From some where, You hear a cantaloupe being played like a drum.

Amari arches a brow at the snickering,"Oh forgive me. I didn't mean to be presumptious. Do you two know each other already?" she asks with a coy smile. She tries not to laugh at the drum beats in the background.

From some where, You hear a giggle of pure horror.

Legacy walks over, stepping now between Jessika and Amari and motions to turn around and lowers himself down between the two. "Indeed.. Priestess Jessika and myself had a conflict over Octivus not too long ago. It was never truly resolved to be honest, but some things take time.." he motions his arms up, resting them on the back of the pool as he lowers his form in. "Wonderful to see you both..." he offers gently.

Jessika chuckles "You weren't being presumptious at all Amari, you were not there when we met so it is understandable" she says softly before moving away so that Legacy can sit down. "Nice to see you too Legacy" she says politely.

Amari ohs and seems somewhat interested,"Do you not like the fellow Legacy?" she asks in smooth tones. She watches the man as he sits down and then her eyes go to Jessica as if she is wondering about this new development."Surely two people as lovely as yourselves are not arguing?" she asks with a little quirking of her lips.

Legacy mentions gently, "I was told about this place, but I wasn't under the assumption that it was a readily frequented establishment. I fear I won't be able to afford this manner of luxury very often at the price.." he turns his head to look towards Amari and says, "Actually... we're rather paired.. like brothers." he motions his hand and offers, "We merely came to an agreement in regards to Octivus's decisions.. and Priestess Jessika was less than pleased by my opinion on the matter." he turns his head to look towards Jessika and asks, "Does that sound accurate?"

Jessika listens to the two and chuckles "Yeah I guess" she says as she lays her hand back again and slides down a bit against the wall so that the water is over her shoulders "It was just a difference of opinion and will stay that way apparently" she says quietly.

From some where, You hear a burp.

Legacy takes in a slow calming breath and offers softly, "My muscles are so sore.." the man likely having been training most of the day, since most of his muscle still look swollen from the exertion he put himself through. He tips his head back, closing his eyes and sighs gently, "Have either of you seen Octivus lately?" he asks casually.

Amari mmms at the explaination and sinks a few more inches in the water so that only her head is peeking out of the silky warmth. Her hair floats around her tickling those within reach and she lets out a deep sigh of contentment. Her eyes open at his words and she sits up to look down upon him,"If you'll sit up I can rub the kinks out." she offers simply."I have done it many times and I know how to give a healing massage." she says honestly.

Jessika relaxing with her eyes closed shrugs "I believe he was spending some time with his daughter" she says quietly in regards to Octivus "I had left him a message at the temple telling him about the opening of the bath house, but he must have gotten busy" she says in a leisurely tone. "Hmm I might have to get you to give me one of those one of these days Amari"

Legacy offers calmly, without moving.. perhaps he's found a comfortable place where he's sitting, "Most of my pain is in my torso and shoulders.. blade and shield weight grows cumbersome after a few hours.. no need to trouble yourself on my behalf, this is relaxing." the man states. He reaches the hand that was nearest to Jessika towards his chest, scratching lightly at a blade wound scar just beneath his collar bone before he lets his hand slip away again. "Who is the owner of the bath?" he asks curiously.

Amari chuckles and flashes Jessika a smile,"I would be happy too. Alance and my priestess friend Katima can testify as to the relief they can offer." she says in a good natured way.

Amari shrugs at Legacy's refusal and leans back once more,"Your loss." she says simply as she lets herself sink into the water once more.

From some where, You hear a "Da da dum! Supergnome!"

Legacy smiles softly and offers, "I.." he pauses, "I didn't mean to refuse hospitality Priestess Amari.. I would be honored.. please." he asks, sitting up a bit and letting more of his chest come out of the water now. Perhaps he isn't entirely sure how she wishes him to move for this. "Is this good?"

Jessika makes a soft noise in the back of her throat that shows she likes the idea as well as that she is very relaxed "Well I'll take you up on the offer one night while we're at the shop" Jessikas says to Amari. "You shouldn't offer such wonderful healing, especially from a Tulian priestess, we are quite good at what we do" she says with a bit of a smirk toward Legacy even though her eyes are closed. She then shakes her head "I wonder when she's going to go to sleep" she chuckles about the background noise "Oh and Blu'Shim I believe is the little cloud gnome that owns the place, I don't know if it's by herself or with others though"

Amari smiles and sits up then,"Here sit in front of me so that I can work the kinks out." she instructs as she guides him into possition before her. She flushes at Jessika's words and averts her eyes,"Thank you for your kindness Jessika. I'ld be happy to help any time that you find yourself feeling all knotted up or anything." she says warmly. Even as she speaks she begins rubbing the man's shoulders with gentle firmness to help relieve his pain.

Legacy shifts as instructed to, rising up and resettling down where Amari seats him. The man rolls his neck forward and allows the woman to start working at the muscles around his neck. The man's broad shoulders are rugged and his skin is rough like leather - this is obviously a man who's been battle hardened over the years. He turns to look towards Jessika and asks, "Are you talented in massage as well?.." his baritone voice is curious.

Jessika shakes her head "No I'm still figuring out where my true healing talents lay" she says quietly, she adjusts her seating position so that she can face the two much better.

Amari 's hands begin their work on Legacy's neck and work the muscles there on either side letting her thumbs move up and down the base of his neck as her fingers smoothly glide along each side. She hums softly as she works and her attention is wholly focused on what she is doing.

Legacy offers, "Personally I think you should consider leg or feet muscles if you get into massage.. most everyone in this city spends all day on their feet and that would likely be quite a blessing if someone knew how to care of them." he offers idly as he sits there, with his head down - almost touching the water's surface and eyes closed.. letting Amari work her magic on his tense shoulders...

Jessika's eyes flick upwards and look at Legacy for a moment. She hmms "I guess I could try that" she says quietly, she moves a bit more to get comfortable it would seem. "So have you had any luck messing with anyone elses love life?" she asks nonchalantly of Legacy as she smirks.

Amari 's hands move across Legacy's right shoulder first and the massage moves from the curve of his neck down the right arm. Her hands squeeze the taunt muscles there on his bicept before going further down. She shifts a little to continue down his hand to his palm where she lingures and then to his fingertips."Well I have given both katima and ALance full body massages but that's not something I offer to everyone." she smiles at that."Perhaps I should..." she trails off and quirks a brow at jessika's question.

Legacy considers the question from Jessika and asks, "Actually, I've been trying to stay out of other people's affairs lately.. I have enough in my lap at the moment.." he provides his rationale. The man groans pleasantly after a wince of pain when Amari finds a knot in his shoulder. The man lifts his right for Amari, trying to make it a bit easier for her to work on his dominant arm. The man's arm is heavy, and riddled with thin white scars and tales of his military background. "A good foot message is hard to come by... and can be rather.. breathtaking." he trails.

Jessika chuckles "Probably for the best" she says in regards to the response of her question she gives Amari a quick wink "I do believe that people would pay good gold as well as feel great if they were able to get a good massage" she nods slowly "ooooh yes" she says quietly "Definitely would be a worth while venture" and then looks to Legacy.

Legacy begins to relax a great deal with Amari's massage, the feeling of the woman's touch is certainly soothing and it's obvious on the man's face. His eyes remain closed and his breathing is calm and slow as he enjoys the feeling... who wouldn't enjoy the feeling of this situation. "When you do.. let me know.. I'll find my way to the line." he smiles softly.

Amari murmurs words of healing as she massages the mans shoulder and works her way down his arm to his hand. After moving to his hand she finds herself to be kneeling in front of him so she works her way back up his arm and to the front of his shoulder and chest."Well I rarely charge for helping people, be it healing or massage. Tuli has granted me enough wealth in my helping the city so that I don't worry over such things generally." Both of her hands work on his shoulders in the front now as she speaks softly. Then they begin working dow to his tight chest muscles.

Jessika leans forward and whispers something to Amari as she gets settled before Legacy as she massages him, as she settles back down she says "ooo" and looks into the water "Seems the Paladin would like a foot massage as well" she reaches into the water and starts to rub his foot that is right by her legs.

Legacy relaxes back at the feeling of being tended now but not just one, but two incredibly beautiful women. The man offers little resistance to the touches and sits back, no doubt feeling as though his God was rewarding him for noble service. "That's a fortunate thing for a man who gives all he has in tithing." he smiles softly.

Amari smiles as jessika leans forward and whispers in her ear. She looks back over her shoulder at the other woman and gives her a wink,"Do not worry Jess. Such a time may come." she says in a reassuring way. She turns her attention back to Legacy then and smiles down at him,"How's that? Is that the right spot?" she asks as she finds a particularly bad knot along his chest and focuses her efforts there.

A smile comes across Jessika's face as she hears Amari, she then goes back to rubbing Legacy's foot and ankle under the warm water. "All of it huh?" she asks absently of Legacy.

Legacy takes in a breath at the feeling of the woman's fingers digging at the spot on his chest, he tenses ever so slightly with the feeling and manages to offers a simple, "Yes.. " he shifts just a bit beneath Amari, and brings his arms back to rest over the ledge behind him and support his upper body now from slipping into the water.
