"H-hey, c'mon, don't make it out like I helped, geez! Haha... you're the one who invited everyone and organised everything and got this awesome hotel, all I said was 'Hey Yumi wouldn't it be nice to go to a hot springs?'" She blushed gently though, grinning as she nudged Yumi on the elbow only for her blush to get deeper as Yumi showed such affection to her in public. She really needed to get used to that it seemed. Not girlfriends but definitely not just friends either... god, was her heart racing? This was supposed to relaxing! Usually she was so happy and confident but something about this girl just made her all gooey inside. She just hoped she liked her surprise later...
Nevertheless, she gave a thumbs up to Niji as she thanks her, as well as a short shrug. "Hey no problem, kid! Like I said, I just had the idea, this girl made it all happen!" She pointed her thumb at Yumi now, flashing her redheaded 'friend' a quick cheeky grin. So many interesting people had found their way into the girl's bath now. She recognized a few from the train, either getting on or when they were all disembarking. The large prawn girl especially seemed interesting but she seemed like she had her own agenda right now. Was her name Charlie?
And then there was the girl who had approached them and bowed... what an adorable stutter! Was she nervous? Did she have a crush on her senpai? Ooooh! Drama! Drama drama drama! "Nice to meet you, kid! What's your name?" She greeted her with her usual wide grin, even extending a hand to shake. Probably not a very traditional greeting but they were hardly in a traditional setting.
She didn't miss Yumi purposefully adjusting her swimsuit to give her an eyeful, making Kai immediately blush and try to look anywhere else. As much as she wanted to look it was likely if she did she'd be staring for the entire night. They were like a black hole of focus. Yet even despite that it was obvious she was taking glances when she thought no one was looking. How could she not!? They were right there! "Waterproof towels huh? Never knew those existed. Smart idea though a-and it uh... y-yeah it um... definitely looks good! H-hehe!" Lame! That was lame, Kai! God, get your game together!
"What? Well... yeah, I mean... it was just a prank, y'know? A bunch of us did it. Besides, it was tastefully censored with the office plants, it's not like I was fully nude on the pictures, geez!" Kai pouted a little, blushing at the thought of anyone taking nude photos of her. Not that she hadn't done it before, of course she had... while very, very drunk and in a committed relationship. But that one had been a prank! Honestly the longer she thought about it the more she felt like an idiot for agreeing to that one. Probably a stupid idea in retrospect but hey, it was funny at the time.
As Yumi moved on to try and distract herself talking to another girl, Kai gave said girl a little wave. She waaaas... Rowan, right? Yumi had pointed her out on the train. "Hey! Nice to meet ya! Rowan, yeah? Yumi mentioned you on the train. Name's Kaisaki but you can call me Kai, it's faster." She tried not to stare for too long but wow she was pretty. Nowhere close to Yumi of course but geez. There seemed to be a smaller girl next to her with blonde hair; she didn't remember Yumi mentioning her on the train but she gave her a wave too. Quite a few awkward ladies followed them, including a girl who looked like she was trying way too hard to be comfortable in the nude.
She knew how that felt all too well. It was traditional to bathe in the nude but... even though there was only two years separating her and Yumi and probably the same with some of the others here, she still felt awkward being the 'adult' and getting nude in this situation. It was better to play it safe, stick to the swimsuit. But there was one person she was rather curious about... the silver haired lady who had greeted them before. She hadn't gotten a chance to talk to her yet.
Trying to get a better vantage point, Kai lifted herself out of the pool though kept her legs in, calling over to... Jaz, was it? Kai waved high and in wide arcs, grinning as she tried to catch her attention. "Yo! Sorry I missed your greeting there, friend! You look interesting, what's your story?" From all the scars on her body she looked like someone had fed her into some sort of meat processor backwards... she hoped Yumi didn't end up like that... each of those scars must have hurt.

Aw man. This was it. As she lay there, soaking in the water, Jasmine couldn't help but wonder when was the last time she'd felt this relaxed. Every single fiber of her being felt like it was being touched and massaged by the warmth of the water of the hot springs and it legitimately felt like bliss. Tense muscles that were normally as solid as stone had gradually turned to utter mush. Her acute awareness of her surroundings had dulled quite a bit as well as she let herself indulge, yet not enough to keep her from taking notice of what was going on around her. She blamed that on her day to day.
It felt like life was passing her by as people kept entering... and honestly she was totally okay with that. Jasmine wasn't really the type to meddle in the business of other people anyway. Really she was only there to enjoy herself. Her arms were stretched out against the rocks, back of her head propped up on top of her folded towel, legs crossed as steam rose to enshroud the springs inside a cover of pure warmth. A soft sigh left her as she made a mental note to make room in her schedule for stuff like this more often.
Though Jasmine did entertain a few people as they came in. Her explodo-buddy Rowan was the first to enter immediately after the wolf, and Jasmine had aptly reacted to her walking in with one of those cat-callish whistles and a sly snicker as she offered a salute. "I've been flirting with you for damn near two years now. Why in the hell have I never actually asked you out?" She felt like adding a Damn! on top of that but figured the whistle would be enough to rustle some jimmies already.
Next on the list of acquaintances/friends was Charlotte. Damn, she really hadn't talked or even seen the prawn in quite a while... though the awkwardness in her step didn't elude the ashen haired lass. Honestly it kind of seemed like Charlie was just about ready to hide from the entire world. Jaz couldn't help but quirk a curious brow, yet before she could actually say something more people showed up. A couple of girls Jasmine hadn't recognized -- first years, if she were to venture a guess. Then it was Miku's turn to join them. D'aw. She'd have to hit on Rowan some other time.
Melody showing up had caught her attention enough to make the ashen haired lass actually pry one of her eyes open to see what the hell was going on. One glance was enough to explain why she sounded so awkward. Jasmine herself was completely in the nude, but given that they were in an all-girls Onsen, she didn't really care about that, honestly. Though, she had to admit. Keeping the gay at bay was turning out to be quite the herculean task.
Familiar voices kept popping up one after another and honestly the wolf was starting to feel tired just trying to keep track of everything. The clear decision to make here was to just... let everything happen, and Jasmine did just that. Especially when she managed to hear the exchange between Yumi and her friend Kai. Yeah, she wasn't touching that bundle of awkward with a ten foot pole. Her moment of relaxation continued as she went back into what felt like a trance. Half-asleep, yet not really. Sadly her sharpened senses wouldn't ever let her fall asleep in a place like this, as much as she'd wish otherwise.
Until, that is, she realized someone was actually addressing her. A singular eye shot open. Both when she realized who it was. Looks like it came for me regardless of the pole... she thought to herself, slightly amused.
"Uh?" she stammered out, a little confused. "You want the long or short of it? Pretty sure we'll stay here half the night if it's the first one."

It was at this stage that Kiersa realised something very important... A lot of the people here were wearing some form of clothing or covering. There was one of the older students who was following the onsen rules... but the steam kept swirling around them in such a way to cover themselves... Yumi-senpai tried to brush off the fact of her organising this entire endeavour, trying to foist it onto the blonde girl next to her... who bore a fleeting resemblance to Miss Keiko funnily enough.
Kai then tried to redirect the praise back to Yumi, and from the way the two were acting with one another Kiersa quickly got the idea that maaaybe she had intruded on their private time or something like that. Before she could make her apologies and leave, Kai offered a hand in greeting and asked for her name. She didn't want to appear rude, so she accepted Kai's handshake, and bowed her head at the same time though just to err on the side of caution.
"M-My name's Kiersa Bec of Class 1-B, M-Miss Kai-senpai." the young blonde said, introducing herself. "A-And sorry for interrupting you t-two." she said quickly, throwing in an apologetic bow into it as well. Maybe she was reading too much into the situation between Yumi and Kai, or maybe not. Either way, it was better to be safe than sorry. Especially since this whole trip had been the result of these two's hard work.
"Th-Thank you again f-for organising this..." she said, before letting other people come over to give their own thanks or to strike up their own conversations. Kiersa for her part smiled and nodded towards Niji before finding herself a quiet-ish corner of the hot springs bath to just sit down and soak in. Plus under the water, the fact that she was one of the few following the rules wouldn't be so apparent... Maybe...

Post by Charlotte Fujioka on Aug 27, 2020 13:40:49 GMT -4
GIRLS' SPRING MORE AND MORE U.A. STUDENTS showed-up in various modes of dress and undress-- and Charlotte slouched lower in the water, tilting her gaze skyward. Somewhere in the throngs of new arrivals, Melody was in the mix, but Charlotte was too introverted to call-out to her. She also... wasn't wholly convinced that Melody wasn't and extrovert. Maybe she wanted to hangout with someone other than her roommate?
The prawn could feel her thoughts starting to grow foggy and thin, the corners of her vision going comfortably dim as she squinted skyward. Her father had mentioned how hot springs were about relaxation and getting closer to others-- like somehow being naked was supposed to make "making friends" easier than when you had clothes on-- but Charlotte was content to just chill in the corner.
That is... until a voice pried her from her thoughts. Charlotte rolled her head listlessly in the direction of the speaker, lavender eyes opening slightly. Pink hair... swimsuit... uh... who was this again?
Once near the end of her first year, Charlotte vaguely recalled going to a beach-party in this girl's honor. Her birthday party, perhaps? But their interactions in the following year had been virtually nonexistent. So... her name escaped the prawn. As did any inkling as to why the girl would want to talk to Charlie. (Introvert problems...) Still, the prawn sat a little taller, blinking slowly.
Thankfully, the pinkette beckoned to Melody, too-- that was probably for the best. Outside of tech-talk, Charlie's small-talk capabilities were virtually nonexistent.
"I haven't seen you much since the beach party," the prawn agreed, her low, alto voice thick with reluctance, "Have we... just not crossed paths? Or were you away?"
Charlotte was around, frankly too much, just mostly in the workshop with the other techies and their overabundance of power-tools.

Yumi shot Kai a sly smile as she tried to shift the ‘blame’ for all this back on her, poking the side of her waist under the water in a spot where most people would get at least a small ticklish jolt to tease her a little more. “Well you all can thank Hiro for arranging the hotel since it’s apparently his family, buuuuuut it’s still this blondie’s idea. And you all paid your train fare soooooo the most I did was make sure everyone knew when to get on the train. Absolutely no praise should fall on me.~” She stuck her tongue out to punctuate that to show she was definitely just being playful, of course.
Kai seemed to be having fun getting to know her classmates at least. She wondered how many of them realized she was their senior by a good few years? Kai did have the youthful appearance and just all around the energy to come off younger than she looked but she wasn’t about to pop any bubbles or make anyone feel awkward in that regard by voicing the curious thought. She did still have to wonder though just how many of her own peers thought Kai was around their age… well, she WAS around their age, but for teenagers 2 years could make a big difference.
Course, she still acted like a horny teenager at times if her drifting gaze was anything to go by.~ Yumi gave a little giggle as she stumbled over her words in reaction to the outfit she’d made. “They have some weirdly specific uses apparently. Maybe for specific sports or something where you just need to flatten out the sweat more than absorb it or somethin’ I dunno. Either way it came together quite nicely I think.~ Glad you agree too.~” She was still a little off kilter herself hearing about how ‘extreme’ Kai’s own high school experience got buuuuut she wasn’t about to embaress her by focusing on it, just giving her a little nudge to playfully say-
“Yeah but your friends there woulda still all seen ya naked.~ Didn’t expect you to be such a wild teen given how shy you can get around me.~”
Her focus on Rowan briefly waned as she heared Kai focusing on Jaz. Thankfully she just asked for her ‘story’ rather than anything that could embaress Yumi like how the two girls met but still she was a liiiittle cautious there. If in part because she knew that Jaz had gone through a lot, so the ‘long or short’ question was perhaps more of a warning than anything.
(If I missed anyone who interacted with Yumi just @ me and I’ll edit a response in! Just a lot to keep track of and I didn’t wanna make anyone wait any longer!~)

She wasn't sure where to start, it was just all that and everyone joining shortly after she came in. She smiled at Yumi and turned to Kai who introduced herself. "Oh, you must be Yumi her friend, nice to meet you." As she already got her name it was not necessary for Rowan to introduce herself and she would just maybe give them more space, they seemed to be more in a conversation then the black-haired student had noticed and she did not want to be rude or overwhelm Kai with too many people coming in at once. She just made her way over to closer to Jasmine's place and would see what would go on next. She waved shortly at everyone she knew and just decided to stay on her own for as long as possible because before she knew it Miku showed up... her swim suit was cute. "Oh, there you are. I just thought you would eventually find me." She shrugged, she had already apologized for her grumpy behaviour in the train. She did listen to Miku but she just realized Jasmine had said something to her and maybe it was the hot water or the steam but her face turned red and she looked back at Jaz. "W-wait." She had not talked to anyone else right? That was to her, right? She had no idea as she just realized Jasmine had spoken to Rowan when she came in and sat close to her because she obviously couldn't stand at the part where Jasmine was, she was far too tall and Rowan wouldn't be able to touch the ground. "I-I mean ehm, really?" Here she thought she had noticed but imagined it was just Jasmine's way of talking to her. "I eh I wouldn't say no to that." She felt as if the pool only got warmer and her attention was pulled again away from Jasmine to Miku but she looked shortly at the girl not too far next to her. Was that even fair to anyone else? Fair to herself, fair to Jasmine, fair to Sean to go out? Well going out wasn't immediately anything so... so why not?
She felt like the steam was coming off of herself and she just tried to look casual but was sure she wouldn't manage. She tried to look everywhere and order her thoughts without making a panicky situation about absolutely nothing... yet. She was glad Emi showed up that meant she could look more casual than neurotic. "Hey Emi, long time no see indeed, I have been too focused on school and training then actually anything else." Pathetic she knew.

 While she did get a couple of waves and return greetings, most of the upperclassmen were talking among themselves. Well, she didn't mind too much. She didn't mean to eavesdrop but judging from some of their conversations, quite a few had some catching up to do. And she wasn't going to butt in on that. Fortunately there were other wallflowers for the picking. She moved discreetly so as not disturb the others and crawled over close to where a certain first year with a glowing chest piece sat. It seemed they were making an effort not to get that part wet. "Hey there~ I don't think we've met. A first year right?~"She would speak casually with a friendly smile. Hopefully she didn't intimidate the girl who was in the swimsuit-wearing club. Karen herself wasn't being too modest but that was just her personality.
"Did you come with your friends? I seem to have misplaced mine. And I was looking forward to having a nice chat with them too~"
"I'm Karen Hoshizora by the way, from 2-A. Nice to meet you~"Honestly both the first years looked like they were a little nervous so she wanted them to feel more welcome. In hindsight though, perhaps she may not have been the best person for that. At least the other kid was doing better, getting some attention from the other upperclassmen.

Niji was a little startled when the dark red-eyed girl with blue hair spoke to her. She was so immersed with being in her own corner she thought she wasn't being noticed. 'Remember what Desmoshi said,' Niji thought to herself. 'Socialize. Get to know people.' She remembered this girl from Desmoshi talking about her. According to him, she was very focused and goal-driven, which Desmoshi liked. "Hello, Karen-senpai," Niji said, giving a slight head bow. "I am a first-year. My name is Niji Uta from 1-S." Why was she so formal and polite? Probably habits she learned from being in the meetings with the benafactors.
Karen asked if she came with a friend. "Yes, I came with Desmoshi-kun. He is in the same class as you I believe. He is... my boyfriend," she added blushing a bit. It still felt so weird to say. Not that she did not like being with Desmoshi. It was just weird to meet someone who cared so much about her. And spend time with her. And just be with... her. Despite all the faults she carried, Desmoshi still liked her.
But right now, Desmoshi wasn't here to carry her through her social interactions. She needed to work on those issues herself. Especially, if she planned on running her own company one day. She looked for any question to continue the conversation. "Karen-senpai," she started looking at the blue hair girl. "Any advice for us first-years? You know... for the next year coming up?"

Emi arrived. Like holy heck. Long time no see
"Hey Emi" she friendly greeted Emi. Still, well... the compliment was nice. But she did wonder if she should be content with just being cute. Like, she was growing up. And well, she was 17. Should she still be cute at that age? Maybe this wasnt the time to think about these sorts of things. But it was something to think about. Maybe with Rowan or her family.
Miku looked at Rowan as she wanted to mingle with her, but then some blonde girl approached her. She talked to Rowan and just waved at Miku. Miku just confusedly waved back at the girl. But... but she wanted to be with Rowan. And then there was another person, Miku saw. Jasmine. Granted Miku didnt recognize Jasmine at all. It just seemed Rowan had all the girls to mingle with. How does she do that?
She wanted to cling to Rowan, but at the same time not. She didnt want to be Rowans anchor. Especially after... THAT... But looking around, she had no idea who to mingle it. She didnt have any strength to go and mingle with someone herself. Like who would she approach? She just looked down a but sad. She felt as if she sucked. She wished she could have more friends and more confidence to approach people. And of course no one would approach a hermit like her.
She had to let go of Rowan, like that saying goes. If you love someone let them go. Or something like that. Rowan was free to interact with other people. And so was Miku herself. But now... if only someone wanted to interact with her.
Of course they wouldnt. And the thought of her approaching someone felt as if a cat would bite her tongue. Actually she already felt like that.

A younger, less mature Emi would have never made the first move with somebody like Charlotte. She knew now, of course, that the humanoids – emphasis on the oid – amongst them were no less people than she were… But once upon a time, she had been sheltered, closeted and taught to shame that which made them different. Deep-seated teachings were the hardest to kill, but she held the fact that she was no longer a filthy racist as a point of quiet pride.[break][break]
Well, mostly. It would be a like time before she approached the pro hero hiding across the spring, because spiders still needed to die in a fire, but she’d made a lot of progress, right?[break][break]
Perhaps that was why she’d settled on the prawn as her latest new friend, even if she’d never say it out loud. Maybe she wanted to talk to a third-year she’d knew little about, of which there were few on the scene. Or there was a chance that she meant to meet a friend – and roommate! – of her friends when the opportunity presented itself. Whatever the reasons, she showed no hesitation in settling herself.[break][break]
“I guess you could say I’ve been laying low. I’ve realised that doesn’t suit me too well, to be honest. A girl like me thrives in the spotlight, don’t you think?” A mellow smile made her thoughts on the matter clear. “So! If things go to plan, you’ll be hearing a lot more from me soon. I’ve got a lot to do, and not much time left at UA to do it.” She pulled an arm out of the water to give the shrimp a thumbs-up; both hands reached up to rest behind her head shortly after.[break][break]
“What about you? Before we know it, we’ll be done with school. Do you think you’ll feel like you’ve done enough?” The girl paused. Blinked. For a question that had weighed so heavily on her mind, she’d let it slip so casually. Hopefully, she’d be able to laugh it off.[break][break]
“Maybe that’s a bit too heavy for an icebreaker. I guess a better question would be… How’s the year been treating you so far?” Too late, she caught herself averting her case. Never one to be caught as anything less than the height of confidence, she settled her gaze on a surprisingly meek- “Miku! They say three’s company, right? Or maybe it’s four... Either way, don’t be shy.” A hand lazily waved their fellow third-year over.

Kai rolled her eyes as Yumi tried to once again pass the blame off to her, letting out a short snicker as she stretched her arms and shoulders, before quickly wrapping an arm around Yumi's shoulders. She pressed their shoulders together with a short laugh, intending it as a friendly gesture but considering the context it might not come off as that. Regardless, she used her hand to give Yumi a short pat on the back. "What this goober won't tell you is that I only originally intended for it to be me and her! She's the one who suggested to bring you all along!" She gave a short shrug, giving everyone in attendance a wide grin. "It's better this way though, I get to see what sort of madhouse my good pal Yumi experiences every day!"
A hearty laugh escaped her lips, releasing Yumi and giving Kiersa a playful tap on the arm. "And geez is it one! It was like watching a fuckin' physical comedy show on the train back there!" Speaking of Kiersa, she stuck her hand out for a handshake, grinning from ear to ear, scratching her ear bashfully as the girl seemed to bow. "Eh? No need for the bows kid, geez! It's fine! We're all equals here!" Granted she did feel a little out of place considering she was the only non-Hero here but it's not like she couldn't do heroic things, she just chose not to. No sense getting in the way of the professionals!
She narrowed her eyes at Yumi as she implied she'd been staring, blushing slightly and pouting. She couldn't exactly deny it at this point, it'd be like trying to deny she was looking at her risque photos in that magazine the first time they'd met. Trying to deny it just made her look pathetic. But geez, why did she have to point it out? I-it's not like she could control it, just one look at Yumi would tell you that she was an eye magnet. "Well... yeah, but we'd all seen each other naked before. We all used to go skinny dipping at the beach during spring break. Though in retrospect, I think I was dating one of them at the time, so... that's like... retroactively awkward, I guess." She gave a short shrug.
The raven-haired beauty gave only a cursory greeting before peeling away to speak to the girl who looked rough around the edges. All the more reason for her to head over and talk to her herself then, right?
As she approached, Jasmine didn't necessarily seem all that eager to answer her questions, especially considering she and Rowan seemed to be having a fairly uh... intimate conversation, perhaps. Yikes. She knew when to pick her timing, huh? Luckily their conversation also seemed to be being pulled all over the place. "Er... short version, don't want to uh... take up too much of your time with your girlf- Er-... uh... f-friend... I-..." Kai cleared her throat, giving a very serious 'yikes' face at her own slip up, before chuckling at herself and motioning behind her, smiling in amusement. "Should I just go before I make things more awkward?"

Jasmine had found herself a little surprised because of how calm she felt. Normally she wasn't one to participate in 'girl time,' if this could be counted as such, nor did she really take part in any group activities. Heck the girl didn't ever take any extra steps towards relaxation beyond lying in bed for a good few hours with a book. This, though? She was surprised her alarm bells were as calm as they were. She absolutely hated being in groups of people, let alone in groups as close in proximity as this one was, skin be damned. Her life sort of made that type of outcome inevitable.
Much to her chagrin, the second she started up a proper conversation with someone, it ended up being blown out of the proverbial -- and in this case literal -- water. The wolf would often playfully flirt with Rowan for the shits and giggles. Seeing the brunette's face getting all red had actually become something of a guilty pleasure. Not in a bad way, mind you. She never thought Rowan minded in the slightest given her... attempts at doing the same to Jasmine, the success of which varied little. But now? Shit, now Jasmine found herself at an impasse.
A very visible wave of confusion crept along the ashen haired girl's face when Rowan's words finally registered inside the confines of a cranium far too relaxed for its own good. Jasmine actually thought her brain cells had decided to riot and fell asleep on her. I wouldn't say no to that. Holy shit, Jasmine thought, the words replaying in her head. Did the wolf just bite off more than she intended to chew?... she did, didn't she? Fuck.
Her words weren't really intended to come off the way they did. As far as Jasmine was concerned she was just doing the same thing she always did -- poking Rowan with the same flirtatious banter as usual. Never in a million years would she have suspected the raven haired lass to actually take it seriously.
And yet...
Jasmine froze for a split second, her mind beginning to race with thoughts going around the cosmic circuit known as her messed up brain a million parsecs per minute. How bad was this grave that she thought she'd dug for herself, really? When Jasmine 'questioned' aloud why she hadn't asked Rowan out yet, she was perfectly aware of the answer to that. Personal shit that she didn't want to drag the brunette into. But then again... Were the skeletons in her closet really so severe she couldn't try to open herself up to something new? Given how much they flirted with each other it was a damn surprise they haven't tried something already to begin with and honestly the more Jasmine thought about it she found more positives than negatives.
You know what...? Fuck it.
When Kai spoke, Jasmine couldn't help but sputter out a cheeky laugh. Truth be told Jasmine's timing was probably far worse than Kai's. Under normal teenage circumstances asking someone out with people from your school all around you wasn't exactly something that was considered to be the norm. Or something one would do without seeming the least bit embarrassed.
"It's alright," she said, a few giggles rolling off her tongue here and there. "Whatever me and my girlfriend, as you so eloquently tried to put it, need to talk about, we'll talk about it tonight," Jasmine teased, all the while offering Rowan a quick wink on the side. "So feel free to sit down if you'd like. I'm more than happy to share my story... unless, y'know, you keep being awkward and then make me feel awkward in the process. That's a real big no-no."
Assuming Kai did take the wolf up on her offer, she'd continue: "Name's Jasmine. People just call me Jaz so feel free to do the same. No honorifics, please. Not a fan," she began, trying to shorten her story down to a few concise sentences. "Born and raised in the US. New York, specifically. Rough life, obviously. No parents and a bum for a Godfather who wasn't even really there. Uh... what else? Came to U.A.. By chance, really. Spent a little over a year here. Left to go back to the states for a few weeks. Ended up staying for a whole year cause... well, life's a bitch, lemme put it like that. Then came back here and was good -- or lucky, depending on who you ask -- enough to get reinstated directly into my third year as a student. Currently working as an intern with Red Horn, working odd jobs here and there to make a living and trying to get myself back into art. Used to draw and do tattoos. Used to have quite a few myself too," she pointed at the darker patches of skin on her arms where clear signs of tattoo removal were present, "but, again, c'est la vie."
"...that's the TL;DR version of it. What about you, though? ...Kai, was it? How'd you and Yumi meet?"

Yumi finally caught on to what was going on with Jaz and Rowan when Kai started to awkwardly point it out, her own eyes turning a little wide as she caught what was happening, her mouth agape. For some reason she'd have never expected the sometimes soft spoken Rowan to have anything in common with Jaz but... well she supposed both girls could be surprising in their own right. She didn't say anything of course, she didn't want to make things uncomfortable for them, but it did bring just a mildly surprised chuckle and a shake of her head.
On Kai's comments about her past situations with her friends and how the trip came to be, Yumi blushed a bit embaressed about how she'd practically turned a date trip into a party but... it did help her a bit. She hadn't really been ready to be that intimate with Kai yet and while they'd certainly get SOME alone time on the trip the rest of her classmates worked as a solid buffer in the meantime, leaning back into Kai as she wrapped an arm around her shoulders, though... something did catch her attention.
"Wait... you were dating one of your girlfriends... you THINK?" She asked, quirking her brow heavily as she was unsure what Kai was trying to say there. Did she not realize a friend of hers thought they were dating or... ugh, no, she wasn't gonna dig deeper into that awkward hole. With how free she used to be she knew a few guys or girls probably considered they were dating her when Yumi didn't think the same in her past so beyond Kai explaining herself she wasn't gonna dig that hole any deeper, turning her attention to Jaz as she detailed her history with the school, thankfully leaving out embaressing details of her and Jaz's own experiences.
"Ya know she's being modest about the intern thing. She's practically RedHorn's side-... heck, she's practically her partner." She corrected with a warm smile. "The amount those two work together, the way they work in sync? You'd think Jaz was a full time pro! Honestly I'm surprised I rank higher than her at the school with all the tricks she can pull off and all the field experience she has. I swear Red Horn's gonna have her work cut out for her earning that top hero spot again when Jaz graduates."

Everything was confusing and she wasn't sure where to start what to think and yet... she felt okay. Strange... She wasn't sure what to say and she talked shortly more with Kai, smiled about the idea that this originally was like their date and how it happened they all hoped along. She felt rather brave herself the way she was here and talking to everyone, interesting factor at all. Which was maybe also why it took her so long to realize what Jaz had said to her, most of the time she was concerned Miku was doing fine, but her best friend seemed to have been tackled by the other students and was doing okay. Without directly reaction much later anymore to Kai or to Yumi, and just confirming to Jaz that she would not have said no... there wasn't much to tell anyone.
Her internal panic was being delayed and she smiled when Jaz winked at her and again it did no feel bad. Timing maybe but... what to do with the others. With herself? She did not want to leave the hot spring because no one was talking to her? She should talk to others... As Emi called out that they particularly became strangers again and well maybe it would comfort Miku a little, she moved over to the group. "Sup girls?" She did not want to barge into the conversation and thus tried to do it more.. subtle. She did not immediately look at Miku, she had after all just emotionally told her in the train that she hated today and look at her several hours later. She was afraid Miku would judge her and she wasn't ready for that. So maybe this would be a welcoming distraction in the conversation? That would be great, she would sometimes look over her shoulder to see the others... was she that awkward before?

Miku's saving grace came from an unexpected source that was Emi, who soon called out to her. Miku did the finger gun thing as she pointed at Emi "Emii! How is you? Looking fab there. But you've been surprisingly laying low on the radar. You okay? Or are you waiting for like a huge story" Miku asked her salt bae of a friend. And yes, Miku mentally called Emi a salt bae, but didnt exactly have the courage to say that, because while she found Emi cool. She had a sorta of a scary persona with that deadly sass. Of course Emi wouldnt do anything bad to Miku. But it was just that teen social school drama and dilemma. Which in the grand scheme of things are minor, if a friend decides to sass you. But to youngsters whose world is the school and their image and stuff about friendship. It meant a lot to Miku. And considering Miku really wanted to spread her wings and make more friends and not just cling to Rowan. She hoped she could spend more time with someone. And yes that means Emi too. She thought it'd be cool if she could hang out with Emi.
Meanwhile Rowan interacted with other people, from the look of it... that wink that came prior probably confused or stunned Rowan. Miku couldnt blame though. She really was a pretty girl, even if Miku didnt swing that way. Or who knows maybe she did. She never explored that option. But she didnt wanna question her straightness now when she was in a hotspring with many ladies. Plus she doubted Rowan had any other intentions with her aside from friendship. Miku remembered the train ride with Rowan and hoped she felt better. If they werent in a hotspring, Miku would hold her hand as a sign of like... friendship and reassurance that she's there for her. But not now obviously. It would look weird and flirty considering the.... yeah...
