[event 1] is relaxing in the hot springs, trying to forget about her current dilemma. Though of course, stripping down to a bathing suit, in
hindsight, was not the best method of forgetting whose body she was currently in.
Ann
has
come looking for Japan. She was trying to find her body. "Hello, is anyone home?"
flusters a bit when she hears the voice, turning towards it at first. She nearly answers the call before realizing whose
body she was in... and she was sure Japan would not take pleasure in finding a Korean in the spring. She instead stays quiet,
sinking into the water a little less gracefully than she had hoped.
Ann
feels
guilty just entering like this, but she did have the key and this was kind of important. "Sakura? Kiku?"
blinks in surprise, hearing Kiku call out his own name was a little weird... "....h-hello...?" she calls out timidly.
bursts into the bath area as though she was scared the person was going to run away. "Saku----- Soo Yeon?"
startles at the sudden entrance, ducking to hide against the wall again. "...y-yes...?"
Ann
is
embarrassed now. "Ah...I am...oh. Terribly sorry. I was looking for Sakura or Japan. I-I mean. I'm Japan but..."
hesitates a little. Well, obviously there was something wrong with Kiku too... "U-uhm... I am Sakura...." she tries, wondering if
he'd believe her.
's eyes instantly light up. "Sakura! Oh thank goodness, this is Ann!"
blinks up at her, coming up from her hiding spot. "...m-miss Ann...?"
nods. "I am looking for Kiku...I think he has my body."
hums, trying to think. "....I-I do not think I have seen him around lately... or you, for that matter. I'm sorry..."
's shoulders drop. "I see..."
's expression falls too, feeling bad for her. "I-I am sorry miss Ann....you could join me in here if you would like to relax a little
though...?" After all, of course she would fit in Japan's swim clothes like this.
flushes. "Would that be appropriate, with how I am now?"
blushes a little too, but nods. "...w-we do have integrated bathhouses too..."
Ann
is
not comfortable in this body though. "Ah...well, all right."
nods a little. "I-it is up to you..."
had to get used to this body anyway...she wasn't sure when she was going back to her own. Nodding, she stepped out to change before_
returning.
Sakura
has
moved back to her original seat, smiling a little when she sees Ann come back changed. She knew the hot springs were a good way to
relax, and Ann looked a bit stressed.
Ann
is
terribly stressed. She was hungry and in a man's body. None of her favorite foods tasted good and she couldn't cook for herself. She_
slowly entered the hotsprings, and sighed lightly. "This is nice, thank you."
smiles gently at her once she's in. "I hope it does you wel, you look like you need to rest." She could cook for Ann if she knew all that..
Ann
is
all ready asking too much of her. She offers the other a smile. "I haven't been sleeping well."
would not mind. She blinks at this, looking concerned. "That's never a good thing... is it because of this body swapping nonsense..?"
nods a bit. "I am nott used to this body. And I can't eat right."
frowns a little at that. "Oh miss Ann, that is not good... I will make you something when we get out of here, okay? You can also stay here
if you would like..." She knew Japan sometimes complained about beds in other countries being too soft and hurting his back, so perhaps
that was part of it..
Ann
wonders
if that's true. She appreciates the offer. "Ah...his stomach is really sensitive. I tried to eat some roast beef and I could barely_
swallow it...so maybe some mild food would be better. I appreciate the offer..."
nods a little, though she wonders if it was... miss Ann's cooking that she tried to swallow. That could explain it.. She smiles. "I will be
happy to do it. I do hope you feel better afterwards."
Ann
feels
guilty asking, but she was so hungry. "You at least got a woman..."
would tell her not to worry about it. She blinks at this, frowning a little. "...t-that's what Alicia said as well, but I highly disapprove
of this..." Especially of the part where Soo had control of her body.
looks to her. "Might I ask why?"
sighs softly. "...m-my sister is a pervert... and she currently has control over my appearance. I worry for my reputation..."
suddenly feels bad for her. "Ah...I'm sorry." At least she could feel confident Japan wouldn't do anything to her body.
nods a little. "That is why I am not happy with this.." she didn't care as terribly much about having Soo's body. It was nice being able to
reach the top shelf...
Ann
wonders
if that's the only thing she's happy about. "Ah...well hopefully she'll be a little respectful."
would wonder what else there is good about it. She wasn't the type to go and pull pranks like this. "....hopefully," though she knew
she wouldn't and hadn't been already.
sinks into the water a bit more. "Do you think we'll ever go back to normal?"
sighs softly. "I certainly hope so..." She didn't like the thoughts of being like this forever...
agrees with those thoughts. "It would be unconvenient."
nods, sinking into the water a little more. "Quite...."
looks over to her. "How is Alicia handling this?"
purses her lips a little. "Well, she's not too adverse to me... still thinks I'm cute like this..." she makes a bit of a face.
Ann
thinks
that sounds like Alicia. "How about you? What do you think?"
hums. "About me? Or her..?"
| "Her."
nods. "Ah... it's quite weird, her energy in that body..." Not to mention the attire, of course. "...also to see mister Arthur without
eyebrows is... a little amusing, admittedly," she smiles.
seems a little surprised. "S-She plucked his eyebrows?"
blinks a little and nods, having had assumed Ann had seen. "Ah yeah. It's very strange.."
Ann
feels
a bit bad for England. "Ah...I sort of liked his eyebrows."
nods again, smiling a bit. "I am sure they will grow back.." They seemed too thick to stay down for long.
Ann
thinks
that's true. "He did say something about them growin back quick."
hums softly. "I could see that..."
Ann
is
staring at Sakura now. "Ah...um..."
blinks up at the sound, a little confused at the staring. "...y-yes..?"
flushes a bit. "T-This might sound strange but may I...touch the...curl?" She was fascinated.
blinks at that, glancing up and blushing a little. "...a-ah.." she hesitates, of course not knowing how it feels but.. having seen Soos
reactions a couple times. "..a-a little, if you want..." she answers, a little curious herself.
hesitantly reaches out to tug the curl, lightly.
Sakura
feels
a shiver run down her spine, letting out a soft surprised sound.
Ann
is
lightly petting it, thinking it had a weird texture. "Ah, this is truly fascinating!" She always had wanted to touch one.
trembles a bit as she continues, blushing red. "U-uh yeah... i-it's a bit weird..." she manages.
lightly pinches it, thinking it's just a regular hair.
nearly cries out at that, managing to keep it to a gasp. She shifts in her seat uncomfortably, blushing red still. "U-uh.... m-miss Ann...."
Ann
is
still groping at the hair. "Yes?"
whimpers softly, squirming a bit and trying to pull away slightly, though that only resulted in the hair being pulled on more.
"A-ah... p-please...." she can't finish her sentence, having to bite her lip to hold back a moan.
doesn't know what she's trying to ask, so she doesn't let go. "Pardon?"
tenses up a bit and trembles, letting out a long, embarrassing moan as she can't hold it back any longer, gripping desperately at the seat
for an anchor to keep herself from getting the hair pulled too much.
Ann
is
taken aback by that and is now staring at the other with wide eyes. "...S-Sakura?"
whimpers a little in pleasure, face bright red and shifting in her seat still. "M-miss Ann....." she pants, trying to pull back a little
but of course only succeeding in sending another round of shivers down her spine.
Ann
is
beyond confused. What was this. "W-What?"
trembles still. "P-please... let go....." she mumbles, entirely embarrassed by this point of course.Did this count as cheating on Alicia...?
Ann
is
confused, but she fondled the curl a little more, relishing in the softness before she complied. "Ah...all right."
cries out in pleasure again as Ann continued to fondle it, tensing up. She flushes a deep red as she's finally freed, quick to hide her
face in her hands and pull away a little from Ann.
returns her hand to her side. "W-What's wrong? You're acting weird."
Sakura
is
too embarrassed to speak now, keeping her face hidden and just shaking her head.
Ann
feels
awkward now. She dips into the water, looking away.
takes a deep breath, calming herself down before finally dropping her hands, though she's still too embarrassed to look Ann in the eye
now. "S-sorry....."
looks back to her. "What happeneD?"
bites her lip a little. "...w-well, I know not to pull on it anymore...."
flushes a bit. "You mean..."
blushes still, nodding a little and looking down.
goes red from head to toe. Oh god. Oh god. She could never tell Alicia.
bites her lip a little, feeling awkward. "....y-yes, sorry...."
covers her face. "I-I am terribly sorry!!"
flushes darkly too. "U-uhm, it's okay... y-you didn't know....."
