Treat Yourself, Thursday, Period 2

[deathsmajesty]

If only she and Ignis had coordinated a little better, they could have combined their New Zealand trips. But alas, they had not, and so Liliana's special trip to New Zealand had to take place the week after his. Still, there was no better place for them to celebrate the last class and get to practice everything they'd learned over the past seven weeks.

A message had gone out, informing people that they might wish to bring something to go swimming in, or something they would wear to a spa with massages, and they met up once more at the portal. It wasn't until they stepped through and into their destination. "Welcome to The Lost Spring," Liliana said. "A resort built around natural geo-thermal pools. There are several, with several variations in temperatures. There is also a treetop day spa, should you wish to enjoy a massage, a wrap, or some other treatment. A restaurant, in case you wish to indulge in food. Even a store, in case you were looking to enjoy a little bit of retail therapy. Or you can just sit in a patch of sunlight and play on your phone. No lecture today, darlings. Simply find something - or more than one thing - and spend at least one last hour treating yourself to luxury, relaxation, and indulgence."

Go Off And Do Your Thing

[deathsmajesty]

You had an hour before the portal arrived to take you back (portals that left early or late were, of course, out of your own pocket but have at). Feel free to swim, go to the spa, the restaurant, the store, or just do your own thing!

Liliana had no plans to return with the class. Since she had already had her steward take care of it cleaned out her office, she had just gone ahead and booked a two hour pool combo, complete with a grazing platter and a cocktail. And then a forty-five minute massage, which would give her fifteen minutes to get changed and portal back to the island in time for class.

Now to see if she could convince Ignis to stay with her the whole time...

Had Ignis considered making a case to Liliana that morning that skipping class, remaining home, and enjoying some of her recently acquired liquid treasure while either bustling about the kitchen or dipping into a good audio book as the ultimate form of treating himself, and therefor quite the acceptable way to spend his class period?

Yes, absolutely. But he also reasoned there was plenty of time for that in the coming weeks and, well, if he was going to luxuriate, he felt far more inclined to be doing it in certain company than not. Especially with knowing what he had in store for his own class later today, resulting in a rather persistent smirk on his face as he absolutely was going to see about that option of having some of their menu brought to you whilst enjoying the pools.

Talk to Liliana

[deathsmajesty]

Find her in the pool, wearing the most conservative swimsuit she had.

...Admittedly, it was on a scale of Liliana, but...she'd tried? Ish?

This is fine and normal and not at all relevant to anything.



Also also, I found this post, which is HANDS DOWN, the best writeup of black mana and Liliana's secret philosophy I have ever read.
