The Hakurei Shrine, a shrine on the outskirts of the farm on a hill, decently far away from the main eyes of the city. Reimu and Seriri collaborated on making a hot springs in the area, a private and relaxing alternative to the public bath houses. As well it was a... fairly big one. The ground was terraformed a bit to make a solid walkway into a fair sized pit. The water was one made out of magic, attempting a mineral and soothing heat like a hot springs while a gap kept it at a perpetual temperature like geothermal heat. It was a creation that was only possible with teamwork... or you know, a god. But Reimu did not feel like asking one to do it so her and a mermaid did it.

Swimming was possible but there were portions you could stand, a synthetic masterpiece. "Wow, this actually looks like it worked out really well. I'll need to try it when I get back," Reimu admired the hotspring creation for a moment before looking to Seriri. "Alright, I am trusting you to keep an eye on the shrine while I'm gone. You can have your friends over, but try to keep them in line, okay?" she asserted. "Y-yeah, of course.  I promise we won't bother your home." Seriri nodded in assurance. "Alright, see you later then," she then flew off before vanishing.

All that was left was to wait for the guests to come and try it out. She moved over to relax in the waters. Huh, that gap thing she did really did work in keeping the water warm. Then one of the first guests arrived... another mermaid? It looked like it but there was something a bit.... off about her?

"Why hello there Miss Seriri, right?" the mermaid(?) asked as she came closer... awkwardly. "Y-yeah, that's me..." she answered nervously. "Great! Then this is the right place. I hope I'm not intruding but would you mind if I accompany you?" she inquired. "Um... n-no. Of course not. You're free to come in..." she nodded. "Why thank you," she then jumped into the hot springs and swam next to Seriri. "The name is Splash Woman, a pleasure to meet you."

Mission

START!

Seriri HP: 130 Shield HP: 40 Status: Normal	Splash Woman HP: 170 Shield HP: 60 Status: Normal

[Doctor Ciel]

Next up, Ciel arrives in her own rather elaborate bikini!

This is official art.

...It was a rather unusual look for her.  Frankly,  back home she couldn't even go outside without a bodysuit on. The sun was so harsh that most people who did that got a frankly alarming tan rather quickly. And by tan I mean sunburns. But ... could you even get sunburns from the simulated sun in the life sphere? “...Hi Seriri. How do I look?” Ciel asked, stepping forward and performing a little pirouette for her, sorta showing off her new look. She then began to meekly make her way into the water.  It was the first time she'd ever had a bath like this.

[Rider, Doppelganger Lidelle]

Next, Rider shows up! She's wearing a green, skirted leotard. She was also hiding her hands behind her back. “...Uhm, hi~ Miss Ciel. ...Miss Seriri.” Rider very meekly greeted, sorta wiggling a bit where she stood in a bashful manner. She moved to stand at the edge of the pool, sorta looking down into it. However, she did not get in, realizing she couldn't see the bottom. “...”

[Deleted]

Avarice was very hesitant as she stepped into the hot springs, still wearing her operator suit, mostly from lack of alternatives. As she caught sight of the others she raised a hand to give an awkward wave, her social anxiety spiking a bit as she realized she didn't know anyone else who had come,  crossing one arm over her chest to hold the other as she walked up to the edge of the pool and looked down into the water. "You made this place Seriri? That's amazing..."

As she looked into the water her amazement had a mix of uncertainty to it, most of her experiences with deep water ending up with her warframes zapping her. She glanced up at the other girls and then down to her other clothes uncertainly as she looked to Seriri. "Is there a swimsuit I could borrow? this is all I really have that's water safe"

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"Hmhmhm... Now this is a good place to kick back and relax, hello Seriri." Succubus said as she dropped down to earth, landing gracefully while wearing a swimsuit.

She lightly nodded to Ciel, Rider, and Avi greeting them peacefully, she had brought an inner tube as a just in case as it just might save someone's life if they couldn't swim.

Ciel was the first after the woman of splashing to arrive with Rider.... Huh, she's never seen Ciel in anything like that before... "... Y-yeah, it looks really pretty! I love the flowers..." the organic mermaid complimented in admiration at the outfit. "Yes, simply beautiful," Splash Woman nodded in agreement as she looked to Rider with Seriri... oh yeah, that's right, Rider told her she can't swim. Swimming over  to Rider, the mermaid offered a hand. "Hey, you know, sometimes swimming is better with a partner. You wouldn't mind swimming with me, right?" she requested, offering a way to get in the water and not drown and also keep her inability to swim from the others a secret!

(Rider, Seriri is offering you a ride to protect you and your secret. This will initiate a kind of "Riding Grapple" where normal grapple rules apply but Seriri can make dodge rolls in Wisdom and Dex for you. In addition you can make dodge roll checks in Wisdom for Seriri as well if she fails one. Alternatively you can accept Succubus's innertube, but that might let the cat out of the bag.)

"Oh, um kind of... The Shrine Maiden here did most the work, I just supplied the water..." she replied to Avarice. "Don't be so modest, it's incredible water," the other mermaid assured... the water was extremely comforting, almost supernaturally so... since it is magic water. "Oh, um, sorry, I don't really have anything to help with that...." Seriri admitted as Splash Woman shook her head. "... O-oh, h-hi Succubus..." Seriri replied nervously... wow the demon came oddly prepared there.

Once the last guest arrived there was suddenly a... snapping noise. A snapping noise that was made in rhythm in the distance. Following it was the sound of an equally rhythimic beat of pincers across the ground. Then came two dancing Crab Pokemon, still performing their rhythm as they shuffled from behind the back of the shrine towards the hot springs.

As the crabs menacingly danced in and Seriri tilting her head, the Kingler spewed a barrage of bubbles from it's mouth at Ciel as it menacingly danced closer to the Hot Springs while it's partner was slamming the ground fiercely, kicking up rocks at the Succubus.

(Ciel! The Raving Kingler is attempting to douse you with a Bubble Beam! Roll a DEX of 12 or higher to avoid it or you get hit with 20% damage and a 70% chance to burn from their acidic nature, this burn can not be cured with water like a normal burn)

gLz9QaeIp_1d4+1(Succubus! The Rhythmic Crustle is trying to rock blast you! Roll 2 times to dodge all the rocks, each threshold being a 12 in DEX. every time you fail you take 12% damage)

As Seriri was freaked out by the sudden Crab Attack, a few bubbles rose up from near Avarice. Suddenly a Crawdaunt would make to grab the woman while she was distracted and forcefully slam her into the pool, keeping it's grip and trying to hold her under the water.

(Avarice! The Grooving Crawdaunt is attempting to sneakily slam you into the water with his Vice Grip! Roll a 15 or higher in Wisdom to detect it and evade. Otherwise you take 30% crushing damage with a 50% chance to paralyze and are inflicted with Suffocation until you are let above the surface, she is also grappled)

(Mechanic Time! The Hot Springs will relax the body and calm the nerves. Every turn you end in the Hot Springs will heal 1d10+charisma and lower the duration of your current status by one more than usual! However, it also has a cleanliness meter. If it takes too much "filth" damage, it will lose it's healing properties. Seriri can spend an action to heal 10% once per turn. This bonus applies to both enemies and allies)

After Ciel got into the water, just before she started to relax, a disturbance called to her and distracted her from enjoying the waters. What... was..? Ciel emits a yelp of alarm as she skips through the water away from the bubbles. Thankfully she was walking and not swimming, lest she have to use her pitiful strength for that one. There was just one other issue...

Ciel didn't bring her weapons.

She wasn't Blue either, so she wasn't like, hiding a gun in the cleavage of her bikini or anything. She was just unarmed. Ciel panicked for a brief moment before remembering her training. She wasn't alone, and she wasn't truly unarmed. She had her heart, and if she just kept her cool...
“Shuthas! I need your help. Give me your energy, just for a bit!” Ciel pleaded. A cyber elf invisible to probably everyone else there except maybe Splash Woman flew around Ciel, scattering light particles over her to give her the focus needed to pull this stunt off!

She then turned back to face the crab and folded her hands in something resembling prayer, concentrating on bringing out her passions. A myriad of big pink hearts began to explode into existence around the Kingler, potentially smashing into its shell with deceptively strong force.

“Thank you, Seriri~ I'd um--appreciate that~” Rider sheepishly replied, more than happy to accept the ride. Seriri, you're going to get a Rider clinging to you for dear life for a bit. At least until she gets com--forever. Things were getting scary and she didn't know if she wanted to leg go. Please don't drown her! She goes into a sheer panic because of all the big scary monsters and just kind of shuts down, burrying her face against Seriri. The temperature drops sharply in response to her losing control of her powers momentarily. Energy was being drained from everyone present.

(I may as well reclaim my spot because I'm in the posting mood)

DEX ROLL A: oV4IiQ|bp_1d20-1=16(a spectacular dodge!)
DEX ROLL B: p_1d20-1=19(DAYUM! Succubus is mean on evasion!)

Succubus noticed that the Crustle was aiming for her, and rather poorly at that which was kinda disappointing.  "I've seen Schezo hit me with better stuff than that; you are a disappointment to your species, clearly." Succubus said to the Crustle in a scathing tone; which is in fact true, Schezo had indeed encountered and fought against Succubus a few times, and she went down to him faster than she went down to this disgrace of a Pokémon.

The letargia attacks she was not prepared for so she would try to dodge them as well...
DEX ROLL C: p_1d20-1=6(ouch...)
DEX ROLL D: p_1d20-1=5(ouch...)
DEX ROLL E: p_1d20-1=4(ouch...)

"Dearie, that kinda hurt...  I don't blame you for it, though." Succubus would say in a rather pouty tone because of how much pain she was now in...  And decided to take out her frustration on one of the enemies present!

Succubus would yawn and promptly invoke her seductive side by charming the Crawdaunt.
CHA ROLL A: p_1d20+5=16(no bonus if female, +2 bonus if male)(Lust @ Crawdaunt, inflicts Infatuated status{25% if female, 50% if male})

She would then further seduce the mon...
CHA ROLL B: p_1d20+5=15(Seduce @ Crawdaunt, inflicts 100% Mind Melted status, +2 bonus if male)

She would then unleash hell on her helpless victim by electrocuting it with an electrified whip smack!
STR ROLL: p_1d20+1=18(Shiden-no-bara @ Crawdaunt, 15% dmg and 25% paralysis chance if successful)
