As I'm sure many of you are aware by now, a bath house has opened for school use. I hope you all will take this opportunity to soak and relax to ease your stress before finals begin.

However, the bath has no separation between the genders. This may not be a problem for all, but I'm sure it will be for some. Thusly, I have drafted a suggestion for a schedule.


5AM-7AM Female
7AM-9AM Male
9AM-11AM Other
11AM-6PM All
6PM-8PM Male
8PM-10PM Female
10PM-5AM All

Naturally, I've no authority to make this schedule official, but I hope all can agree that the proposition is fair, and an attempt to make our peers feel satisfied and safe.

If you've any suggestions, questions, or objections, I welcome them. The more people that pitch in their thoughts, the faster we can come to a satisfying decisions that suits everyone's needs!

prude alert

I move for a revision. There should be no mixed bathing, period.

[inspirethefire]

Noted. However, I propose that with no leniency given, students will have a much greater difficulty following the guidelines at all.

[He hates to admit it, but let's be real. Teenage boys.]

[forgetbeam]

What kind of sorry excuse is that? Because nobody is disciplined enough, the rules themselves should be slackened? I am disappointed in you, Tanaka. -`д´-

[inspirethefire]

Ishimaru, these are not rules, but a proposed guide by a fellow student with no ability to enforce them. This has to be agreed upon by all involved if it is to work at all, and so others' preferences and guidelines must be taken into account if we wish to get anywhere.

[will_be_god]

I disagree. Those who couple the natural state of the body with imprudent thoughts ought simply to be dismissed from the bath fully. Those who are logical enough ought not have their schedules interrupted.

This will require monitoring at first, and the encouragement of students to report abhorrent behavior, yet with that control applied and violators punished, the clock ought be open.

[forgetbeam]

There is no monitoring or controlling someone's thoughts. Even if no physical contact is made, they could allow their thoughts to distract them from their studies and duties. It would be chaos.

[ANARCHY AND RUIN. Someone's blowing it a little out of proportion...]

[inspirethefire]

Nobody mentioned imprudent thoughts but you, sir.

[ninjaprincess]

I'd be happy to devote time to monitoring some of the mixed bathing hours, if that's a concern.

[inspirethefire]

That's a very kind offer, if you are comfortable with it. However, I wouldn't want you to take too much upon yourself--you already have your duties as RA.

[Hajime you are not one to talk]

[ninjaprincess]

There are four of us.

[Way to volunteer them, Zelda]

This is a recipe for disaster. What on Earth makes you think this will go well?

[inspirethefire]

I would appreciate it if you offered explanations for your dissent or alternatives instead of simply shooting down the idea outright.

[idowhatilike]

I'm actually shocked by your ignorance, but fine.

Most of the schedule I will agree is well thought out.

I'm more or less judging your optimistic outlook that the mixed bathing will go well. You have that much faith in the student body as well as the staff? [ said the staff member ]

a stellar RA right here

[kumagypsy]

I thought you were cool, Jime. [Oh no she's doing it now, too]

an inspiration

[inspirethefire]

I do hope you've seen the error of making assumptions, now.

[kumagypsy]

You just admitted to not being cool!

Fixed the schedule for you. Made some definite improvements.

[inspirethefire]

Thank you for your contribution. If I may make a suggestion, I believe there will need to be a considerable length of time scheduled to handle the clean up after filling the bath with magma.

[explosion_day]

Fine. Make it twelve 'til six. Hour should be plenty enough.

Or hire more janitors. [DUUUUUUuuuuuUUUUuuuuuh.]

[golonghorns]

Mixed bathing?

Dang. This place is pretty.... relaxed compared to my old high school.

[inspirethefire]

You have not been here very long.

[golonghorns]

'Bout a month.

I mean, I ain't complaining. I figure it doesn't have much to do with me either way. I'm just surprised is all.

[tempus_fixit]

I guess it isn't big enough to just throw a curtain down the middle, is it?

[inspirethefire]

That's certainly a sound idea to pursue, though I think ideally a barrier would be constructed of something a little more solid.

[tempus_fixit]

You don't necessarily need a physical barrier; just something to keep one from seeing the other, right? That way both men and women can bathe with no time restrictions, and you can easily push back a curtain during mixed bathing hours if we want to keep them.
