Canon move past 5-6, way too late.

...Once again, I have questions for the community.

1. What is the purpose of using a hot spring?
2. What is the purpose of using a hot spring in the middle of a battle when you should be fighting? Honestly, some of Gram Blaze is... Well, we won the battle handily, so I suppose I have no cause for complaint.

The typical hot spring is used as a relaxation method.

[grancenturio]

I see. Why heated water is a relaxing tool is still unclear.

[redderbyrules]

It eases the muscles, and hot enough water can be used to distract the mind from aches and pains.

[grancenturio]

Hm. Perhaps I should try one, in more peaceful circumstances.

[bittervictor]

It loosens up muscles that are too tight.

As to why someone would do it in the middle of a fight, I assume suicidal tendencies.

[poison_puppet]

One would assume that you'd use a hot spring for bathing. It feels nice, you know?

But I have no clue why you'd use one in the middle of battle. Re-set your chi or something?

[grancenturio]

I haven't tried one to know.

Hm... I suppose if you were that sort of combatant, refreshment might be useful - but we have other, more efficient ways of doing that during battle.

[poison_puppet]

You should! They're fun!

Well...maybe he was doing it to throw someone off?

[grancenturio]

I suppose I may if I have the time, while we're in the area.

That's doubtful.

[bluespring]

I can't believe I'm actually asking this, but was it a particularly stressful battle?

[grancenturio]

All battles are stressful, but this one... I suppose it might have been.

[bluespring]

Then I suppose they probably--

No, I'm not going to dignify this line of thought by repeating it.

[grancenturio]

An excellent choice.
