The year someone turns 18 they have the opportunity to be injected with a serum that will produce a soulmate mark somewhere on their body. This serum is costly and the procedure to get the injection is not covered by insurance.
A rare illness cropp...
Afterward we head back to the hotel. I still have about an hour before the full spa treatment they lined up for me starts so I kiss them all goodbye before I head off to take a shower. Afterward I dress myself in the terry cloth robe that we were each given as gifts from the crew of the ship. I'm sure it was something that they do for all their passengers, but it made me feel special nonetheless to have something from the sweet people I spent so much time with over the course of our trip.
I peruse over the itinerary. All of the scheduled treatment will be taking place in my hotel suite, so I don't have to go elsewhere in the hotel. I can't help but be thankful for that honestly. The entire hotel is overly extravagant and makes me somewhat uncomfortable if I were to be completely honest. First will be an hour long massage. Apparently they expect me to be a bit drowsy after that because I have a half an hour window before the full body mask and facial. Then a nail technician will come to my room to give me a manicure and pedicure another hour after that. Once my nails are dry then the hair stylist and makeup artist will come to my room to finish up my spa experience. To say I will be heavily pampered seems to somewhat be a distortion of the truth simply because I feel like it is above and beyond that, but I know that things like this will probably be scheduled periodically for me in the future by my sweet and caring soulmates. Although I do have to wonder which one specifically set this up. At a guess I would say probably Tae, Jimin, or Hobi but it honestly could be any of them. Actually they probably all weighed in on the decision, with the three ones I initially considered constantly adding one more item to the list.
The massage is divine. The female masseuse definitely knew what she was doing. The full body mask was weird. I was basically layered with some natural mask and wrapped in cellophane for thirty minutes. The facial wasn't abnormal. I've had one before so I knew what to expect in that regard. When it comes to my nails I am pretty simplistic and don't tend to go for full nail art. My gown is royal blue, but I insist on keeping my nails more natural in color. So I'm given a french manicure, and my toes are painted the same nude tone as the majority portion of my fingernails are. The ring finger on each of my hands has a swooping lace like pattern on it, making them an impressive work of art I wouldn't traditionally get for myself. The makeup and hair stylist and I don't completely see eye to eye. I actually threaten kicking them out of my room and doing my own hair and makeup before they finally relent to my more natural looking suggestions.
My soulmates send up a light snack via room service so I don't get overly hungry while we are at the casino. There will be hor d'oeuvres served amidst the guests to sample, but we aren't planning on having a full meal until after our casino visit has ended.
Finally, it is time to put on my gown. I had aired it out in the bathroom while I took a shower, so I could steam any wrinkles it might have incurred since I had initially packed it. It is royal blue and the color suits my skintone and makes the blue in my blue-green eyes stand out. The skirt is long and flowing in veils of fabric, with a couple thin transparent layers that fall over the final layer of satin. The bodice is ornamental with trailing lines of rhinestones all over it. The bottom of the ornamental design almost shapes itself like a belt. The neckline is of course halter in style so I can have additional support since I can only wear a strapless backless bra due to the basic lack of back to the dress. It does have a sort of criss cross pattern in the back, but I wasn't able to find a bra with straps that copied the same criss cross pattern in my size. Jiwoo really outdid herself with this gown. I think to myself before pulling out the rhinestone studded silver dress sandals I purchased to go with the gown and slip them on my feet. I slip the rhinestone dangle earrings I purchased that Skai had suggested to me. They aren't his design, which according to him was the only flaw with the earrings.
