Hot Springs (Tales of Berseria)
Comforting Katz: You found me! Thank you so much, meow!
Comforting Katz: To show you my catitude, Iād like to invite you to a nice, soothing bathhouse I found, meow!
Velvet: A bathhouse?
Comforting Katz: Yep! The Super Spa! One dip in their baths and youāll feel as good as mew, inside and out!
Comforting Katz: Speaking from experience, I can promise you its so amazingly purrfect, your soul will leave your body!
Velvet: Super Spa, is it?ā¦. Wait, is that why weāve been lugging around all these Katz Towels?!
Comforting Katz: You got it, meow!
Velvet: Its⦠not a mixed bath or anything, right?
Comforting Katz: No need to worry, meow! Men and women both have their own dedicated baths.
Velvet: If you insist⦠I could definitely stand to unwind after so much fighting.
Magilou: Mmhm. Iām positively tingling with anticipation!
Eizen: You know, it might be nice to have some serious bonding time before the final battle.
Laphicet: Actually, Iāve never been to a bath house beforeā¦
Eleanor: Oh, youāre in for a treat. That steam will have your skin silky smooth.
Rokurou: And thereās nothing like a good drink after a hot bath.
Comforting Katz: This Gate of Travel will take you there straight away. Feel free to use it anytime, meow!
(Eleanor walks in and sits.)
Magilou: Aaaah⦠You know, Iām pretty okay with this.
Eleanor: Ill second that. This feels really nice.
Velvet: (smiling and sinking in)Yeah⦠Its like I can feel my soul just floating off with the steam.
(Screen Fades to the Menās Side)
Eleanor(Rokurou): Aaah⦠It feels like all my wounds are melting away.
Magilou(Eizen): Iāll say. The water is just the right temperature. Soothes all the important places.
Velvet(Laphicet): (Shocked) Wait, what⦠What the hell?
Eleanor(Rokurou): Donāt splash the water around, Velvet! Thatās totally bad manners!
Velvet(Laphicet): I cant help it. My legs donāt reach the bottomā¦
Velvet(Laphicet): (Shocked, Standing up) Wait⦠Am I in Phiās body?!
Eleanor(Rokurou): (Shocked) Augh, and Iām inside Rokurou! Eww, look at these muscles!
Magilou(Eizen): (Standing up) Heh, Iām actually as tall as I always wished I was! What the Devils going on in here?!
Katz(Bienfu): This is what makes this place so special, meow.
Katz(Bienfu): You feel so purrfectly divine that your soul floats away and switches bodies with someone else, meow!
Magilou(Eizen): Sheesh⦠Looks like even Bienfu and the Katz have swapped bodies.
Eleanor(Rokurou): (Revelation) Wait⦠does that mean that the men are now in our bodies?!
(Screen Fades to the Womenās Side / Magilou, the great sorceress Fades in)
Rokurou(Eleanor): (Frowning) Well. This place certainly wasted no time in getting weird or awkward.
Laphicet(Velvet): (Embarrassed) U-Uh⦠Iām not really comfortable with this. What do we do? I feel like Iāve got an inner tube strapped to my chest.
Rokurou(Eleanor): Eizen, is this another side-effect of your curse?
Eizen(Magilou): As if the Reapers Curse would do something so ridiculous. Itās probably just that Katz playing a prank on us.
Laphicet(Velvet): Iām amazed that you can stay so calm despite all of this, Eizen.
Eizen(Magilou): Hah, this doesnāt bother me in the least.
Eizen(Magilou): My sister and I used to take baths together when we were kids.
Laphicet(Velvet): I suppose that⦠makes senseā¦.
Rokurou(Eleanor): ⦠Well, we might as well enjoy ourselves. The water here does feel quite nice.
Eleanor(Rokurou): Rokurou, you letch! Cover your eyes this instant!
(Magilou is air punching in the air.)
Rokurou(Eleanor): Fine, fine. No need to shout, Eleanor. Though I have to say, your body is nicely agile.
Rokurou(Eleanor): Though your butt is a bit bulky.
Eleanor(Rokurou): (Shocked) Hey! Keep my hands to yourself!(Stands up)
Velvet(Laphicet): (Blushing and looking away)E-Eleanor! Donāt stand up!
(After a short awkward silence, Eleanor sit back down)
Eizen(Magilou): Hey, Katz! We better not be stuck like this forever!
Katz(Bienfu): No need for confurn, meow. Youāll all go back to normal once you leave the spring.
Velvet(Laphicet): Right then, everybody out. This is just too weird to be relaxing.
Eleanor(Rokurou): Actually, before we go⦠Iāve noticed the Katzās been staring at us for pretty much the entire time.
(Katz eyes are wide open, staring.)
Velvet(Laphicet): ā¦Yeah, thatās Bienfu. Smack him for me.
Rokurou(Eleanor): Got it.
Bienfu(Katz): Bieeeeeen!(Music Fades out)
Rokurou: (Disappointed)Thats too bad⦠It was such a lovely hot spring. I wish we could have stayed a little longer.
Eleanor: (Blushing/Angrily) No, you really donāt. Lets all agree to forget this ever happened.
Eizen: (Deadpan expressions from Rokurou,slightly sweating)ā¦How do you expect us to do that?
Rokurou: Donāt go asking for things we cant actually do.
Eleanor: (Blushing/Angrily) I SAID FORGET IT!
Rokurou: If you insist⦠I-Ill try.
Eizen: Uh⦠Fineā¦
Magilou: (Deadpan)Yeesh⦠So much for a nice team-building exercise! I feel like this has just driven a wedge further between us.
Velvet: I heard you kept your eyes covered the whole time.
Laphicet: Y-Yeah, I didā¦.
Velvet: (smiling)Hah. Thats so you.
Laphicet: (Embarrassed)Whats the problem? I was just trying to be polite!
Velvet: Its fine. Theres no problem.
Velvet: (smiling)But I didnāt cover mineā¦
Laphicet: (Blushing) Ahā¦
Laphicet: (Blushing/Angrily) Argh! Velvet! Why would you even tell me that?!
