PLAY THE GAME ON ITCH.IO (v2.1.6)
There is something haunting you. Tugging at the very last threads of your consciousness as you lay in bed, longing for sleep. There is something waiting for you in the window, wanting. You are watched. Known.
They say your youth doesn't define you and yet your childhood experiences led you to an adulthood of investigating the paranormal. There comes a time when you need to face the ghosts of your past; and those of your present.

What's the NRC staff's experience at ♨️!Yuu's bath house? I don't believe you've ever written about it in detail; only mentioning it on ♨️!Yuu's initial post. Then again I may have missed it since Tumblr is being rude right now. Feel free to gloss over this one if it doesn't seem like something you want to answer.
I haven't written about this yet.
The staff are in the unique position of having free access to the Onsen and its service. In exchange, it gets to operate without an alcohol license.
Yuu has promised that all the drinks are watered-down to the legal requirements and no one is getting drunk (which is only half true.) Keeping the faculty in the loop keeps Yuu out of trouble.
The Onsen has a private spring designated for VIPs and faculty. It has unlimited food and bottle service.
The main reason the adults use it is because it's the only place to relax away from students. Say what you want but standing all day, and being surrounded by unruly brats is exhausting. The onsen is perfect for getting away.
Everyone has a reason to go and it differs for everyone.
Trein
He's old he needs a good soak in the mineral baths. He usually drinks a strong soju and talks to Yuu about his younger days. Grandpa has a lot of wild stories before he became a teacher. He also goes on and on about his wife and how they fell in love.
He treats Yuu like a grandkid and goes to the onsen mostly for the atmosphere.
Crewel
He completely changes when he's relaxed. Yeah, he is worried about Yuu but when he is tired he needs to cut loose. He will literally let his hair down for one thing. He smokes even if Yuu gives him the stink eyes and tells him to take it outside.
He usually let's Yuu mix him a cocktail or a house wine of their choosing.
He uses the spa services the most. Facials, manicures, pedicures, and hair treatments.
Behind all that, if you get him in at the same time as Sam he's a college student again. Roughhousing, drinking, and telling vulgar jokes. If Yuu isn't there to see it.
Sam
The only reason he's still allowed is because he supplies the Spa and bar. He doesn't ask questions either.
He orders hard liquor, dark. Whiskey, vermouth, and Adictivo Doble Reposado (a favorite in my family) He once tried to get away with ordering absinthe and was poured a glass of water.
He enjoys the steam room says it feels like a hot summer Louisiana day by the bayou. (Trust me you with that was true. Louisiana summers can be amazing but the swamp is no joke)
Sam likes to goad the others into drinking more before challenging them to a few rounds of cards. He doesn't play any of the workers because Yuu trains them on how to win or lose games on purpose. Those girls could whoop your butt.
Vargas
He needs a good ice bath and massage after training. He views the onsen as an important part of taking care of your health. Taking time to relax the muscles and taking care of your body is key to a long life and healthy mind.
That being said he orders tons of beer and food. We can't all be perfect. He falls asleep sometimes and snores like a bear.
He likes to play ping-pong in the game room but he's really bad at it. No one tells him because he's so determined to win. It's doesn't matter because if everyone is drunk they all suck but think they are playing the best game of pong ever.
Crowley
Banned.
Fine. He's allowed. Begrudgingly.
He isn't treated badly but Yuu would rather he leave. But the onsen would be shut down he didn't agree to let it stay open.
He takes off the mask for once and scared Yuu.
"Who are you?!"
"What are you asking? It is me your dear headmage."
"You're lying! Where is the bird man?!"
Yeah, no object permanence here.
Crowley will get wasted off his ass and join in any chaos the others create. Children, the lot of them. He drinks just about anything. It's whatever suits his fancy that day.
He gets his hair done while he's there along with his nails. Yuu finds it weird that his hair creates a natural black oil like some species of bird and his nails are as hard as talons and just as sharp.

Vargas’ exam voice lines haunt me so much because of the implication that people are afraid to ask what’s underneath Crowley’s mask 🧍Was just talking about it with @snakevsnis but I gotta share it here because I feel like the teacher voice lines, especially Vargas’, go really unnoticed.
I love Vargas because he’s the ONLY character who has ever talked about this type of rumor regarding Crowley’s face like this🧍Like even the most milquetoast headmasters or school principals have rumors about them, but no one talks about the Headmage who never shows his face?!? Idk i just think it’s strange how no one, even the MC, makes a remark on Crowley’s face. I feel like Fae, or just extremely powerful mages in general, have this vibe that everyone’s afraid of 👀 Like nothing is stopping anyone from asking this sort of question to silly Crowley, but everyone chickens out. Even the teachers!!
Crowley has a mysterious and hollow vibe that NRC doesn’t really like :/
