PREFACE:
This is an open thread to anyone that wants to drop in. The concept was stolen, brazenly, from a different roleplay forum I am a member of (with permission. Me being me, I thought it would be ripe for amusement, making characters feel awkward, or try things they might otherwise not. Very likely to be an NSFW thread, just as a heads up. This is not to be considered canon in any way shape or form the RP story-line. It's just all around fun for anyone that wanted to drop into it.
DISCLAIMER:
This thread is for fun. As its not part of the main storyline in any form, just mucking around, the 7-day max doesn't really apply here. Remember to focus on all your actual story posts first and foremost
SPA SETUP:
There is a locker area set up nearby.
Like the natural spa, the locker area is very natural in feel with a mossy floor.
Each bather may check out a locker and key code it to their voice print prior to enjoying the baths.
The entry to the spa includes a shower for quick pre/post-bath clensing
The spa themselves are co-ed.
Due to the privacy of the area clothing is optional in the spa.
Relaxed fraternization rules are in effect.
Public displays of affection may be on hand. Bathers are asked to move to other sections of the baths upon request of other bathing participants.
There are no ranks in the baths.
A quick dip cold water pool is available.
Bathing accessories are provided inside the locker area.
Non-slip foot ware are provided inside the locker area.
There is a wet bar along the far starboard wall, tucked in near the cold water swamp.
There are lounge chairs around the perimeter of the hot water pool.
There is a heated towel rack.
There are several private alcoves and nooks full of various pools of water, both in the form of small bathing areas or seated lounges for more private conversations.
BACKGROUND:
The pipe, almost a meter wide, had been built to carry water from the main overflow tank, through the mechanical level of the station, absorbing heat, and channel the heat through living quarters, through a long network of smaller pipes. The water, now superheated, was held in a liquid state by pressure. It was this pressure that eventually caused the pipe to rupture and over the course of almost a week tear the pipe apart and flood an entire section of the station. And then the water would sit, eventually draining off with only a small trickle from the pipe with occasional rushes of hot water to sustain the now large pond that had formed. Years dragged on and the area would develop and grow as nature did that which it does best, it took over. A breed of large flowering mushroom found its way there and began to grow. Though the stations lighting had failed in the initial flood, the massive windows allowed the light of the Arcturian Star in and allowed the plants to grow. A grove of berry-producing vines sprang up and the species native to the station built a large wooden walkway above the soggy ground to more easily move from place to place, though it seemed they had abandoned it some years before.
It was a visiting xenoanthropologist who discovered the area and did the initial testing to ensure the water was safe. Dr. Frederick Quinn had determined that the superheating of the water had killed anything dangerous in it to begin with and given the closed system there were no harmful chemicals to leech in. Thus the water was pure when it entered the system and pure when it exited. The fungi were found to be edible and the berries none harmful. All in all it proved to be a quiet little paradise.
LAYOUT
"I can't believe you guys have a place like this," Mason said as he pulled open his uniform jacket and stuffing it haphazardly into a locker.
"Well, I think it's more of a happy accident than anything else," Fred said as he too pulled off his jacket and hung it in the locker before unbuttoning his shirt.
As both pulled off the top halves of their clothes they could not help but size each other up. While as Fred was more hairy, his chest and back covered in short salt and pepper hairs, Mason was smooth. Mason was more muscular, while Fred was very lean. Mason had a faint tan, while under his clothing and hair Fred was pretty pale.
Mason put a pair of the provided swim trunks on, standard Starfleet issue gray.
Fred walked into the shower as naked as the day he was born and then into the spa just as naked. Mason did his best to keep his gaze above waist level as he too took a quick shower and entered the main part of the spa.
Once the doors slid open he was hit in the face by warm wet air. He couldn't even guess the humidity but compared to everywhere else on the station he had seen, this was unique.
A large mushroom stretched up, larger than even the small trees the dotted around. It was a vivid shade of a pinkish red and seemed to press right against the clear material that made up the ceiling. He could see what remained of the pipe that had started this, still leaking steaming water into a large steaming pool. The pool had what looks like lily pads floating in it, the same bright color as the massive mushroom.
"And all this is safe?" Mason asked skeptically.
"Yep, checked by me and the station crew at least a dozen times," Fred said as he marched right up to the steaming pond and walked in.
"Amazing," Mason said as he rested his hands on his hips and looked around the area, trying to take it all in.
