Mass Effect Fan Codex Entry Sapphire Thermae - Public Bathhouse - Omega

What is it? Public bath house with showers for washing, heated and cooled pools for soaking, private rooms for bathing and massages, large pool for general swimming & play, gym for working out, atrium and hanging gardens to meditate and general unwinding. Mud baths with clay collected from Asari, Human, & Salarian homeworlds. (Anything from the Krogan homeworld is not allowed as it is generally radiated and good for no one.) Several suites for resident Hetaira are on site, as well as the largest Den and collection of trained  Léaina in all of Omega.

Clothing is optional in any space within the thermae. Wounds and open sores are not allowed in public pools. There is a specific place for the injured with such wounds to relax and unwind separate from the public. There are smaller areas where the sexes are divided, but the largest areas are the mixed public rooms.

Opened: 2015 Headquarters Location: Omega, Gozu District Hours of Operation: Open all hours.

Owned by (species/person/parent company):  Erato K’Melpomene (The K’ is an abbreviation for  ���Kori tou” meaning “daughter of”) believes its important to build a healthy confident body image in all guests. She is a keeper of secrets some of them her own.

Caters to (species): Anyone who obeys the rules.

Description: The Thermae is protected by a strict code of conduct. No fighting, no public lewdness or sex & no body shaming. The bathhouse is staffed with gregarious people who may be fully clothed or totally nude according to their wish. There is a color code for their clothing if they chose to wear it. Black and teal are their colors, if a worker is nude, they wear bands around their wrists marking them as workers of the Thermae of black and teal. If you break the rules once you get a warning any other infractions result in expulsion, depending on the rule broken you may get another chance tomorrow, or be permanently banned. It is a no fighting zone. Good behavior is often rewarded by the staff and returning customers are well cared for. While sexual favors are not banned, they are not permitted in public, and are not part of the Thermae’s offerings. That is a staff choice.

The Thermae is the largest entity on Omega, a small city in its own right that is not associated in any way to any crime syndicate. It is truly neutral ground. Sporting a veritable army of cleaners, repair workers, & hosts, all protected and watched over by enforcers who have the power to judge you unfit for the Thermae. Not even Erato will overrule their call.

Known Employees: Foínix Astynomía Éleos - Asari (Ardat-Yakshi in hiding) Enforcer “You can follow the rules and enjoy yourself, or you can be thrown out with the trash…” Fen is a no nonsense kind of person. She is very literal. She doesn’t take kindly to people who hurt others. She is part of the overnight staff at the Thermae. She is chaotic neutral. Using her A-Y as a way to wipe out the garbage in omega one kill at a time, fostering positive growth and change in her world. Fen is only 5’2” she wears clothes, shorts and a one piece under them with the black face and teal fringe. (Attached,)

Isla Thornton - Human female, Hostess. She is being trained under Liv. Wears a short black wrap with the teal border and bikini top with same coloring. She is gentle and kind and wears her heart on her sleeve. Being only 20 summers she is both the newest and youngest hostess they have. (Single)

Liviana Facolus - (Liv) Hostess. Sassy, prick of a female turian, knows she is beautiful, struts, and fans, loves to be noticed. Favorite color is a teal and violet pink often used to paint her frill and face. Nudist she wears company colors on her wrist as a bracelet. Liv is a tough lady, using her height both for leverage and intimidation. She knows how to put belligerent rule breakers in their place. She is an equal opportunity flirt, race and gender dont matter to her. But she isn’t a piece of meat. “A girl’s gotta have rules.” Liv is known to put offenders down faster than the enforcers. While she loves to be flirty and fawned over she is not okay with people touching her without permission. And despite public opinions she is not for sale, she may choose you for a fun night, but you cant buy her. (Single, Fiercely Independent)

Scrug - Krogan - Enforcer An older Krogan male who looks out for the Thermae in his dwindling years. While he may be older he is by no means inept as an Enforcer. What he lacks for in biotics he makes up for in mass & known violence. It is whispered that he tore a disgraced rule breaker’s arm off and hit him with it. This is unconfirmed, but no one stops the story from being circulated. Story goes: The man had gotten handsy with one of their Hostess and Scrug taught him what it was like to be manhandled without permission. 

Despite his rough exterior from a hard life, Scrug is a jovial soul. Often he says if he were prettier he would be a hostess rather than an enforcer, but he is happy to watch over the Thermae’s people, sharing nuggets of wisdom and snippets of bygone days with anyone who will listen. Scrug, wears company colors in the form of clothing, shorts and sandals. he carries a Krogan war hammer, and stomps around daring some fool to give him a reason to use it. He grumbles at the lack of fools these days… (His marital status is unknown)

Chapter song: God rest ye merry gentleman - Pentatonix (slowed & reverb)

December 21st, 1995 Yule Festival

If you asked Erwin Smith what his plans were for the celebration of Yule, as he always remained on campus over the holidays, he would have told you that he were to be found cozying up on the lilac couch by the fire, basking in the heat emanated by the hearth, and enjoying one of those contemporary novels meant for mass consumption and reading the evening away in the dorms of the Boethiah house. Later, if he felt up to it, he would trek happily across the dark vaulted corridors of the academy to the bathing rooms and relax into one of the immense thermae alone, sans the forever present havoc caused by the agglomeration of teenage boys during early school mornings. What he would not have answered was: his girlfriend was to be killed tonight by no one other than him. Sweet Marie will meet her end tonight, scarlet and thick blood gushing out of her freshly sliced neck.

Flicking his wrist, slightly pulling back his navy blue Tudor coat, Erwin checked the time. It was 22:59. If he were to meet Marie in the next minute, then he wouldn’t have to worry about getting to the crypts on time, but he could always improvise - the campus being almost abandoned at this time of night with no students lurking around - and kill Marie right in their meeting spot, in front of all the security cameras and the dining hall’s high arched and trellised windows slowly breaking each of her limbs, while the poor creature tries to crawl herself out of the situation, blood curling screams sounding into the night, while finally being abruptly cut off by Erwin twisting her neck. But no, he had to be careful, his father would take care of the security cameras but if there would have been prying ears and eyes in the dining hall, then he wouldn’t have gotten away so easily. It was a dark, dull, and soundless night with clouds hanging so oppressively low in the sky, they produced thick white fog that snaked its way between the alleyways and immense gothic buildings. One street lamp was the only thing that lighted the small plaza in front of the four adjacent dorm rooms, its golden light resting on Erwin’s figure, revealing the soft blonde hair, determined and ruthless sapphire eyes, strong jawline, and tall, well built body. He was dressed casually, wearing his most comfortable clothes: jeans and a plain white t-shirt. He was supposed to be spending the evening with Marie up in his dorm room, enjoying some cheesy and petty romcom broadcasted on the TV, and more formal wear would disrupt the cozy atmosphere that would supposedly settle between them, that and blood would be a bitch to get out of them.

Huffing in frustration, Erwin checked the time again: 23:05. If Marie didn’t show up then it would have all been for nothing. However, just as he was making up his mind to go after her, the girl exited her dorm room and with a wide grin, spreading from cheek to cheek on her sweet face, ran into Erwin’s arms. He snorted and greeted her.

“Hello sweet lover, I was beginning to worry you wouldn’t show up tonight.”

“I’m terribly sorry, dear Erwin, but I might have had a change of mind regarding the outfit I was to wear tonight.” Marie chuckled as she let him go, settling back down on her feet. In the golden light, the girl was beautiful, her long blonde hair sitting comfortably on her dainty shoulders, her eyes shining almost green as blue mixed with yellow from the light, her cheekbones were high, just like his, and her lips rosy red. Erwin almost regretted having to kill her, but it was for the sake of everyone around him. It was his duty as head boy, as a son, and as a student to steal this girl’s life. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her plush like lips and with a smile, grabbed her hand and began leading her into the direction of his dorm. His dorm was a just across the plaza in front of her own building. So with long hurried steps across the grass, they reached the entrance. All of the buildings were linked together in a square.

“Where’s the rush Erwin? Are you really so excited by our casual night in?” Chuckled Marie and hurried her pace to match his.

“Certainly,” answered Erwin, not even paying attention to her.

“The hallways are unusually quiet, so is the campus. Don’t you think it’s strange dear, that not even the staff seem to be present?” Continued Marie.

“Well, it’s almost Christmas, it suppose it would be kind of sad if they were to be hanging around campus instead of enjoying their time with their families. After all, they’re humans, just like me and you.” Erwin tried to answer her question, growing more annoyed by the second.

Finally they reached his room, and like the gentleman he was opened the door for his girlfriend, letting her in. It was the first time that Marie entered his room, so with a bit of excitement the girl started wandering through it, stopping to admire the little trinkets he had placed randomly around his room, like the telescope that was facing his window, or various maps that laid, carefully rolled and tied with black string. Erwin lingered behind the door and scanned his room looking for his weapon: a wooden baseball bat, scratched, chipped and stained red, that happen to be positioned right in the left corner of the room, closest to the door. He went and picked it up, gently trailing his fingertips over the rough surface. Giving it a few experimental swings, he called out to Marie as he was slowly approaching her.

“Like what you see, Marie?”

“Indeed, you have a lot of interesting things lying around here, but I can’t help but wonder if you would be so kind as to turn on the light.” She chuckled and slightly bent down to examine the telescope.

“It’s not necessary for what’s to come.” Erwin replied, and with a smile approached the girl in hurried steps, building momentum.

“Erwin?” Marie slowly tried to turn around as she was startled by his reply. “What’s that supposed to me-“ She tried asking, but before she could finish her sentence, the bat collided with her skull, breaking it to a million pieces. With a loud thud, the cadaver collapsed to the floor. Erwin sighed, it required so much work to kill somebody: drawing the victim in, killing it, carrying the body, and getting rid of it. He would have to talk with his father about getting a payment or some kind of reward out of it.

Rubbing away some of his sweat from his forehead, Erwin bent down and grabbed the body, throwing it over his shoulder, wincing slightly as the weight collapsed onto him. Satisfied, Erwin made his way out of the dorm room and into the darkness of the hallway, his whistling the only thing perturbing the eerie silence that settled over the school as if in mourning of their newly lost peer.

-

Twilight enveloped the academy. Combinations of blue, lavender, and light pink reflected off the Chapel’s pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and sipping in through the stained glass windows that adjourned each side of the building as Erwin made his way out and down the vibrant green lawn,  his footsteps levelling the grass where he stepped and the lifeless cadaver still slumped over his shoulder. It had served his purpose and it was now time to get rid of it. Quickening his pace, he headed to the woods right behind the Chapel. This was his least favourite part of his job. The forest was dense and light could barely pass through the crowns and branches of the trees. Nevertheless, the trees were lanky, twisted in unnatural ways with branches sharp like knives. The bark was a dark brown, with a coarse texture, which could scratch and cut if the individual touching it was not being careful. However, what unnerved Erwin gravely was not only the eerie darkness that seemed to swallow the forest but also the absence of fauna in it. Sighing deeply, he proceeded to walk into the forest.

Erwin could have sworn the greenwood was like a warm hole. Every time he went through it, time seemed to stop, the existence of anything beside the forest seemed to be erased, leaving him wandering through the gloomy sea of trees, desperate for an escape. After what seemed like an eternity, Erwin started to notice the outline of hundreds of newly dug out graves, each with a big pile of freshly turnt earth, especially made so that bodies like this could be dumped in easily and covered just as easily. The sight helped him ease his nerves a little bit. Unconsciously, he quickened his pace. This was the first sign that he was close to the graveyard. He soon found himself at the edge of the forest once more.

Not wasting anymore time, Erwin walked to the edge of the cemetery, at the farthest of graves he hoisted the corpse up and tossed it lackadaisically into its final resting place. With a frustrated sigh, he picked up the spade and started to dump the soil over it. The corpse looked nothing like Marie anymore, her clothes, once spotless and emanating the sweetest of scents, were now covered in blood, and her skin, once a beautiful olive yellow was now waxy white, every drop of blood squeezed out of her right through the wide open wound on her neck. The soil got stuck in her hair, painting the blonde brown, in her eyes, filling the glassy stare with bits of gravel and dirt, slowly covering and erasing every evidence of her existence. With one final flick of spade, Erwin managed to cover up the body completely. Breathing heavily from the exertion, and dumping one crimson red rose on the grave, he opened his mouth and voiced his last words to her.

“Merry Christmas and Happy Yule, may you rest in peace, Marie.”

Mass Effect Fanfiction Interview with an Ardat-Yakshi From Pallikári’s POV Asari Centric story mostly on Omega

CAST:

Pallikári Teíchos - Asari Beefcake, daughter of a krogan and Asari. She is part of a large poly-family.

Foínix Éleos - Ardat-Yakshi - only daughter - struggles with her hungers, and fears what she is becoming

Kasiani Glyka - Asari - Hetaira - Sapphire Thermae - butch - owner of Splorg, sassy & fun - deeply compassionate. Connected to her Cria

Splorg - Male - Gabol from Sur’Kesh. Splorg is deeply connected to nature. He cares for the gardens and orchard, and they care for him. He is a four legged rotund boi who drools and grunts a lot. He has a long prehensile tail with 3 pudgy fingers on the end. He is Kasiani’s pet/companion. Very smart and aware. ------------

Kari knocked on the door softly and waited.

A few moments later Kasiani peered out.

“Hello. How was your date?”

“It was nice, thank you. How was your evening?”

Kas answered the door in nothing but her sleep shorts & Caracara Circles. The extensive white ink tattooed on dark violet skin spoke of her dedication to her craft and chosen profession.

“Come in and see.” Kasiani stepped out of the door, inviting her in.

Kas’s apartment was dark. No Splorg, no Fen in sight.

“It’s so quiet.”

“Indeed.”

There was amusement in that one word. The answer she got when she found Splorg and Fen.

Splorg was watching the screen, with a devastated Fen asleep on him. A bandaged arm slung over meaty shoulders, her head resting on his short neck. His tail was moving slowly along her upper back. Fingers walking across her shoulders, his palm skimming the fabric of her oversized shirt.

“How long?”

“About twenty minutes after you left. It took her that long to get comfortable.” Kari ached to see Fen in this state, soft and vulnerable… needing comfort. She shifted fighting the urge to climb down beside them, to touch her.

“Breathe…” Kas’s voice was soft.

She swallowed hard drawing a ragged breath through suddenly dry lips.

Gold eyes opened without warning. Causing energy to rush through her system as Fen took her in from where she lay. Stunning eyes wandering slowly up her body until they finally met her own. Of late Kari could see things in those golden eyes. Things she had been blind to before... how long had she missed the desire that burned in them? Her skin crawled with that silent need, her body aching to fill it.

“H-hey.” Pallikári swallowed hard again, feeling suddenly warm. “Ready to go?” She knelt down, brushing the backs of her fingers against Fen’s neck. A thready pulse beat strong and fast, jumping at her touch. Her own responded in kind.

“Ready.” It was whispered and raspy.

Kari helped adjust Fen’s limbs until she could lift her as comfortably as possible. When she rose Fen was cradled against her chest. Small and warm. Her head pressed against a breast, tired eyes closed. By the tightness on her features, Pallikári knew it hurt her.

Kas put a blanket over Fen.

“Thank you.”

“I’m going to walk you home.” She said reaching for a shirt and pulling it over broad shoulders.

[berryshiara]

Our first pose was something that blew me away. Masky had told me that they wanted to do my Fen and Kari, but that really didn't yet mean anything. While I was flattered, I didn't expect art so soon! Then BAM! There was art! But yeah the poses were a bit off for their personalities.

Our discussion went something like this. ME: Thats epic art! But um... Fen would NEVER turn her back to Kari. Like ever. Her eyes directed her cold attitude directly at Kari and it was all wrong. So I asked Masky to direct her eyes to the viewer. Like they were interrupted by us the viewer and now Fen was sizing us up, trying to figure out what we wanted. Or what danger we might pose.

Both poses got turned outward to face the viewer and instead their personalities were now directed at us and we were able to express more of themselves in just one shot! WINWIN! Outfit and colors were all done according to Fen's job. She works at a public bathhouse on Omega called the Sapphire Thermae. Because she is so short 5'2" she chooses to wear clothes to help people take her more seriously. She is one of their Enforcers. She will detonate your ass out the door if you give her a reason to. XD If you live and your sins aren't too big you can come back tomorrow. Hopefully, wiser.

The Thermae's colors are black and teal. Even if you choose to be a nude worker, you wear an identifying bracelet while on work of those colors.

Fen's personal touches were done at the very very last. Her piercings and the definitions on her cheeks were the very last pieces of the art completed before the picture was done, but i am not sad i brought them up with Mask. She delivered beautifully. The piercings on her crest are also jewlery for her parents who she believes are both dead. Her mother Adonia Éleos is the first piercing her gem bead on the ring is a small representation of Thessia, of which her mother was so proud to be a daughter of. The second her father Zena Éleos. The very person who taught her to hunt, taught her the code by which to live.

She is a serious soul who knows that her life is a timer ticking down faster and faster every day. She finds it hard to invest, but Kari somehow managed to work her way into her heart... and now she cant imagine her life without her.

Sýndesi - Asari Term Explained Mass Effect Fan Codex Entry

Sýndesi - connection The act of sharing ones energy through touch. Being social creatures the Asari are dependent upon taking time out of their lives just to commune with another living being. Their happiness & health depend on it. In a healthy family and community it is something that happens naturally. When a lack is found a shrewd Heteria prescribes Sýndesi therapy. It can help stabilize Asari of all ages who are going through a difficult time. For children it can be the difference between thriving and death. Being a necessity for all Asari, it is community and care. Not sex. Though between lovers it can be both, it is hardly ever sought that way. Special Note: While Sýndesi can be fulfilled privately between as few as two, it is better if the group is larger. Animals can play a big role in this need for isolated Asari, or in the case of Heteria, be an equalizing agent against the deficiencies their position requires.

There are places that are perfect for filling this need. See: Community Centers, Forgotten Huntress-Thessia-Dassus, Sapphire Thermae-Omega-Gozu District, The Dark Goddess-Thessia-Armali, Created by Berry Shiara

Snek - Is an Oubaura with white white and gold petals. Belongs to Fharell - a type of small reptile that lives among flowers. They are known for their extensive mimicry; each species develops appendages that resemble petals of local flowers around their neck, and live in burrows next to flower beds. As a result, no two species look remotely alike. They use their petals to create flashy displays and lure prey, and also mimic flowers flowing in the wind, which is often the preferred mode of identification for eagle-eyed observers. They are popular pets to keep for vermin control, and some domesticated oubaura species are known to attune to the moods of their owners and emit a bioluminescent glow that reflects that mood. In the wild, bioluminescence reflects that of the local flower species. Some caution is advised by travelers hiking in areas with a poisonous oubaura population. Oubaura are commonly found in all corners of Ulee, and New Alara is known for its tropical oubaura gardens. - The WB Discord Group “This isn’t right.”

“There’s no right side to this!” “No, I mean… you shouldn’t wash ash down the drain. It will clog them.” Kari frowned at the mixture of her friend's life now swirling in the sink, black and murky.

“Oh…” Fhar shrunk, sagging against the sink

She reached forward to turn the water off, putting an arm around her Batarian friend. “Come on, come sit down.”

“Where…” Fharell croaked.

“We can take a breath outside.”

They moved out doors out of the burned shell of Fhar’s home, to a seat on the stoop. The two of them shoulder to shoulder was too much so Kari walked her down several steps and had her sit, then sat behind her on the step above where she could sit with her arms draped over Fhar’s broad shoulders. Leaning into her back.

She took in a shuddering breath as she leaned into Kari.

“You are going to get through this.”

Fharell shook her head. “What they didn’t take, they destroyed.”

“But you are still okay, and Snek is on the mend. You can stay with me until we get your house cleaned up.”

“I wanna find the bastards that did this.” She growled.

Kari tightened her arms and took a deep soothing breath. “One step at a time.”

Fhar sighed laying her head back against Kari’s shoulder. Their eyes meeting.

“Hey sooty beefcakes!”

The two of them looked up to a familiar voice.

Kasiani came trotting up to them, making herself right at home as she straddled Fharell’s knees and pulled her face into her breasts. Fhar made a noise of surprise and mild protest.

“Go with it, you will feel better. Breasts always make me feel better.”

“God fucking dammit! Kas! I dont need to be strangeld by your fucking massive tits on top of having my home ransaked and destroyed!”

“I don’t know… at this point it couldn’t hurt.” Kari said getting a snort from her offended Batarian friend.

“Well…”

“Trust us, go with it.” Kas pulled her in again, rubbing the back of Fhar’s head as her face was smushed into dark violet breasts.

“Oh.” Kas said. “Oh, my.”

“Ok children. Did we come to work, or play.” “Both?” Kas asked.

“Hmm. If I wanted to watch foreplay I could have done that at home with much less fanfare.”

Kasiani tisked at the Matriarch.

Kari frowned. “But would it be as much fun without an audience?”

“Child.” Erato deadpanned. “If that is a serious question, I feel terribly sorry for you.”

Behind Erato several more workers from the Thermae appeared.

“We thought you needed moral support.” Bendi said. “And a few items to help you feel at home again.”

“Like home baked goods.” Keres Néa zoí held up two baskets of individually wrapped muffins of several kinds. Beside her, her wife Seraphina carried a bucket of cleaning supplies.

“And some better building material.” Foínix, Scrug & Roggs were unloading deck plating and panels from the sky truck that had brought them all.

“Hey, look who I got!” Ruĝa held up a small transfer cage with Snek in it. “Sprung him from lockup.”

“There is a new dining table and chairs in the back, as well as a comfortable chair and a new sun box for Snek. So shall we get started? Or… did you two need more time?”

Kas dropped her hands, giving a wink to Fhar.

“I don’t know what to say.”

“The look on your face says plenty.”

As the group moved into the remnants of Fharell’s she got up to look at Kari.

They shared a quiet smile. “You did this.”

“Kas and her tit’s are her own thing.”

Fhar grunted, grinning.

Kari found herself pulled in by her stocky Batarian friend and squeezed hard. She returned the fierce hug with her own tight embrace. “Come on, before you make me cry.”

“Serves you right.” Fhar groused good naturedly. They bumped shoulders as they followed the work crew into what remained of Fhar’s apartment.

FemslashFeb Day 3 Buttercup

Mass Effect - Original Characters Location Omega - Sapphire Thermae (An Asari run bath house) Story: Interview with an Ardat-Yakshi Cast: Foínix Éleos - Asari - Ardat-Yakshi Liviana Facolus  - Turian Female - Host at the Thermae - usually nude, body painted. Isla Thornton - Human working at the Thermae. She is new. -----------

“Listen Buttercup…” 

Fen happened to be walking by when a human male she had never seen before said the wrong thing to Isla, their newest hostess in the Thermae. He made the unfortunate mistake of putting his hands on her without consent, because her trainer Liviana removed his hand and then unceremoniously upended the guy, shoulder throwing him face down into the shallow end of the pool.

She then put a clawed hand on Isla and back walked her out of the middle of the potential combatants so she might see them all at once.

“Anyone else wanna treat us like meat?” Liviana asked safely from the sidelines.

The men erupted into laughter at their friends false bravado and swift demise.

They stepped forward and fished him out of the pool when he didn’t get up fast enough, good naturedly pounding him on the back and calling him an asshole. “Liv sure showed you.” Someone snickered at his expense.

“Man if you get kicked out I'm claiming I never knew you.”

“Hey Liv, you can abuse me any day of the week, man that was hot.”

“Yeah, well I don't reward bad behavior, and you're guilty by association... get your friend under control.”

“We got, it. No more trouble from us. Promise.”

Things seemed well in order here, but Fen needed an okay from Liviana.

Rather than an ok she got the sign to cover their retreat, and so she did. Stepping into line of sight breaking the view of them disappearing into the catacombs of the Thermae. Perhaps it wasn’t just them putting their hands on Isla? Fen frowned at the group and motioned for them to gather themselves up and disperse.

“No more chances tonight gentlemen; break the rules again, and you go without your baths.” Fen warned when she saw the displeased look in the chastised man’s eyes. @maskydoo-main, @maskydoolovesmasseffect, @femslashfeb
