[OPEN POST] green with envy.

There are a few standard euphemisms: family reunion, women's auxiliary meeting, sorority party, and the like. But for those in the know, the traditional name is the Seven Lovely Sins.

The decadal "Lilim convention" works much like the Eighth Virtue: a handful of Sisters (traditionally seven, never less than three) act as the organizing committee, selecting things like venue and entertainment, and the rest of the Sisterhood -- Free or Bound -- decides whether or not to attend. Non-Lilim require a Lilim escort, unless they're lucky or powerful enough (see: Princes) to force their way in anyway, and are usually neglected by their escorts in favor of "girl talk".

This decade's organizing committee has decided to revive an old family favorite: Sister Sloth's favor-trading got her control of a rather nice hot springs resort and spa for a full week. The spa staff is either suitably Geased or has been replaced with appropriate substitutes (including the occasional volunteer Lilim), the hotel is conveniently empty of anyone but Sisters and their guests, and the location is just the right distance from the nearest city -- close enough for emergency supply trips or days on the town, far enough that any inconvenient disturbances and the like shouldn't draw attention. (Though Sister Wrath strongly encourages guests to keep that sort of noise to a minimum. She's checked the locale for Animals, but we don't want a repeat of that year where somebody booked us a hotel next door to the Eighth Virtue, now do we?)

It's a good thing she got the whole resort for the whole week, too. The committee expected a good turnout, but it's almost like the entire Sisterhood doubled or tripled in size! Still, Sister Pride's guestbook checks out, and she hasn't run out of souvenirs yet . . .


[OOC: this is an OPEN POST for anyone who could conceivably be at a Seven Lovely Sins or wander in by accident! (If you haven't heard the term, this Pyramid article is what I'm drawing off of.) Yep, it's the standard dressing room gimmick: 7LSes across the multiverse have blended into one gigantic convention, and the hot springs resort is "conveniently" just outside whatever city and in whatever country you want it to be. (It's also "conveniently" something else, if you'd like it to be: say, if you really want to play your Victorian-era or cyberpunk-future Lilim and can't justify a hot springs resort as their 7LS locale, or whatever.) Unfortunately, there isn't an official Marches or celestial "outpost" for the vessel-less, but the Guildhall isn't too bad for that, right? Oh, and Sister Lust totally got a corporeal bootleg of Duty Beauty for one night's entertainment. Note that the guest list at the Seven Lovely Sins, by default, consists entirely of Free and Bound Lilim and their individual guests (and any sufficiently bored Prince, and sometimes Lilith); Bright Lilim, you'll get your "con post" eventually, promise! ;-)]

The resort has a main hotel, of course, but it's also got a handful of lodges and cabins a little ways from the main building, for those who want to spend their time a little closer to nature. One of these has been claimed by Sister Wrath: specifically, it's been flagged as the "hospital cabin". Lilim who come in with a damaged vessel or two, Sisters who get into catfights, human staff worn out by celestial abuse or overwork, security staff caught up in defending the convention -- there are plenty of reasons to keep a good medic on site. The living room area is full of cots for people to lie down on, the kitchen is pulling duty as a surgery and diagnostic room, the small bedroom is an "office" of sorts for the staff, and it's got a bathroom with a working shower and toilet if not a bathtub.

The physician in charge is named Luz, though she prefers her Role-name of Dr. Leah Matsuo. Her vessel is a Japanese woman in her late thirties or early forties, with shoulder-length black hair pulled back into a tight bun. She's more reasonably proportioned than the usual Body by Andre, and she dresses more like a Gamester or Kronosian -- tailored suits, dress flats, enough makeup to not draw attention for not having it, and semi-rimless prescription sunglasses in soft brown -- and carries herself that way too, businesslike rather than sensual, but given the average Free's exposure to Lust-style vessels, it's still not too hard to identify the making. The voice doesn't hurt either: she speaks British-accented English (and a few other languages, Shal-Marian Helltongue included), with very precise and professional diction, but in a husky contralto that seems better suited for pillow talk than diagnosis.

Nevertheless, she's very good at what she does, whether it's patching up small scuffs or Healing more severe damage, and -- well -- most services have been covered by Sister Wrath's retainer, anyway. You have to pay back Essence spent on Healing, if it gets to that point, and there might be other situations where you have to negotiate with the doctor yourself, but at least she's available, right?
