The Bath House Meme


  1. Ritual Cleansing: Maybe you're a priestess, maybe a priest, maybe you're just dirty. Either way there's a ceremony coming up and you need cleansing. Is your partner a fellow virtuous maiden, a helpful assisstant, a runaway thief come to spoil your chastity?

  2. Healing: Maybe age is catching up with you, maybe you've been injured, maybe you just need to relax some aching muscles after a long day's work. Either way the cloudy water is filled with minerals to help heal you up.

  3. Sauna: Nothing quite beats some time in a good sauna. So these aren't exactly baths but they are certainly relaxing and included in a great many bath houses around the world. So poor some more water on those rocks, lay back, and relax.... just don't fall asleep

  4. Spa Treatment: Someone somewhere decided that stuffing one's body in a vat of mud or other various concoctions was good for you. Maybe it's for your skin, maybe it's for you health, or maybe you just like that squishy feeling between your toes.

  5. Massage: What could be better than a nice thorough massage? There's dozens of different styles, some for the more brave of heart than others, but they all guarantee one thing... to turn you into jelly beneath someone else's hands.

  6. Jacuzzi: This is not your ordinary bath, oh no. This is a swirling bubbling tub of heated bliss. Maybe it's supposed to be for healing, or maybe you're being naughty and sneaking out to the hot tub in the snow for some skinny dipping. Either way, feels great doesnt it?

  7. Open Air Baths: The plus to these baths is not so much the bath itself as it is the grand view that one can get from such a bath. Natural hot springs are very comfortable indeed and they have a tendency to be set in some of the most gorgeous scenery around.

  8. Historical Bath: Now these are the grandaddies of all public baths. They may not be number one on the sanitation scale but these are grand, decadent baths with water heated by glass roofs, massive marble pools, and golden fixtures everywhere. The other plus here is that there is any number of attendents at your beck and call to fetch you things, massage you, do all that hard work of scrubbing for you.... maybe even do a little something extra for you too.

  9. Who needs a bath?: Maybe you're too manly for a bathhouse. Or maybe you're just a cheapskate. Regardless, this is no bath this is a lake. You'd just better hope bandits don't run off with your clothes.

  10. Chose your own!: Think of something not on here? Go with it! Or if you don't want to roll just pick your poison and go with that! Just make sure you have fun!
WHAT TO DO:
  1. Post with your characters! You know the drill. Some of these will likely go into smutty territory so be sure to specify what's okay and what's not and to warn for things guys!
  2. Poke around, find a victim person to tag.
  3. Slide over to the RNG for a prompt or pick your own!
  4. ???
  5. Profit!

9? :B Because it makes sense...ish.

[This? This right here? Worst possible situation. Cas is far from an unwashed hippy- at least as far as the 'unwashed' part is concerned, make no mistake; he's as clean as clean can be. There are showers at the camp, showers which are usually working... Except now they're not.

Which means lake. Which means worst possible situation, considering Cas doesn't know how to swim. Screw Jimmy Novak's ultraconservative, overly controlling too afraid to send their son to summer camp to learn how to swim parents. This is a nightmare.

His shirt and denims are casually tossed over a branch, his shoes are kicked off, and he's waist deep in some of the coldest, lakiest lake water ever. He's also frowning hard enough to have permanent frown creases for the rest of his days, so intense is his loathing of deep water. He glances over at Britta and sighs.]


The things I do for hygiene...
britta_ftw: (Bah-gul/Britta's the worst)

With Cas, everything makes sense.

[Britta immediately folds her arms across her chest to cover her breasts when he looks at her. Never mind the fact that Cas has seen her boobs billions upon billions of times... ASKNKASCN that's the reason.]

I think you mean the things you do for sex.

[Nobody, no matter how horny they are, wants to have sex with someone who smells like the sink of a waffle house. Britta, on the other hand, is totally finger-snapping, a-okay with bathing in a lake. She just hopes she doesn't turn into the Swamp Thing.]
heavenonhigh: (wtf)

TRUE.

[personal profile] heavenonhigh 2012-02-19 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He pauses to consider this new development.]

Okay, yeah, that's fair.

[He glares out into the lake like it's the most offensive thing he's ever seen before sinking down into the water. Get clean and get out, that's the goal here.

Also, not drown. Not drowning would be good.]
britta_ftw: (Silly/Thanks Captain Obvious)

Hey, ignore that html fail above. I was on that thing that makes people do stupid things.

[personal profile] britta_ftw 2012-02-19 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, but that was before Britta decided to splash some water at Cas. BECAUSE SHE CAN THAT'S WHY.]
heavenonhigh: (frown || the fuck)

ahahha I didn't notice any fail XD

[personal profile] heavenonhigh 2012-02-19 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shoots her an offended look, like a cat that's just been squirted with a water bottle for nibbling on the plants or jumping in the dining room table. How could you evendo that?.]

...Seriously?

[Welp. Clearly the only thing to do in this situation is leave it at that.

Which he doesn't of course, because his pride won't let him ignore a clear challenge, childish or no. He makes a face like he's working out the best way to approach this before dragging his arm across the surface of the lake, sending an arch of water Britta's way.

It's on. He's definitely going to end up drowning today.]


britta_ftw: (LOL/fun vampire)

Yeah. Keep it that way XD

[personal profile] britta_ftw 2012-02-19 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[She responds with a challenging glare, slightly smiling. When Cas sends a wave of water to her, Britta lifts her arms up to block water from hitting her face.]

You, seriously?

[Britta was only messing around, but it's so on now. She begins to bat her hands at the water, sending wave after wave of water at Cas.

SHE'S A REAL LIFE WATERBENDER, MOTHERTRUCKER.]
