You arrive to the mountain shrine, where the shrine maidens await you. They have arranged a number of activities to help heal your mind and body, and the head maiden helps orient you, and helps immerse and introduce you to their process of healing.~ Big thanks to u/therealshawnalee on Reddit for letting me use her amazing script~ https://archiveofourown.org/works/49738177
Welcome to Mountain Healing Shrine. You must be the individual I was notified about. Come, please, we must get you out of those snow-ridden clothes.
We have been waiting, however, before staying here at the shrine, we must take care of cleansing you of all prior things. Oh, it's nothing insidious, I promise. It's simply a cleaning at the bathhouse, though I must warn you, it will be the one us shrine maidens use.
Is that alright? I just needed to make sure, as some may not be comfortable. Come with me, sir, and let me take care of you.
As the head maiden, it is my responsibility to oversee your healing process. It may take some time, but with our methods, I assure you it will feel at home with us, and most of all, we will heal you in mind, body, and soul. Here we are.
As I mentioned before, this is Mountain Springs Bathhouse Fervor Shrine, and it requires us all to be honest, forthcoming, and connected with one another. Come, follow me. Oh, there's no need to be shy.
We're all one soul here at the shrine. They are aware of your needs, and indeed, will be a part of your experience here. This is where we will begin our modest but beautiful mountain baths made with the springs of the mountain itself.
However, I can't have you entering the springs in these clothes. You noticed that the other maidens here have bathing without cover, and we're no exception. I won't push forward, as this healing process is for your benefit, but would you please disrobe for me?
I promise, your body is beautiful, and I'm here to soothe all your worries in your mind. It is an important step to be comfortable with your body, and be with us as one. Wonderful, just as I thought.
You have a wonderful body. Now come here, to the washing bath by the spring. Simply sit here, at the side, and relax while I take care of everything.
How does that feel? Now while I wash you, I will tell you a bit more about our healing process here. Throughout your time here at our cleansing shrine, there are many phases which will help heal all aspects of your being.
For your mind, we realize that the world is filled with a multitude of terrible things, and they all coalesce into a continual flow of stress and anxiety. We are here to listen, to hear all of your concerns of the world beyond our healing walls. As well, we will help you process the emotions that flow through your mind, to heal the wounds the world has left behind.
Allow me to move my hands over, I know some might find it strange, but I can't simply work with your upper body alone. Every inch must be cared for, from the ends of your hair, all the way down to the tips of your toes, in between each one. Now, for the body, this is an example of what we do, cleaning and washing from head to toe, while someone expected.
Maintaining your body with cleanliness is one of the most important pieces of a complete spirit. But alongside this, you will have a number of sessions with our most skilled maidens, as her hands are trained to find every possible tingle and knot in the body. I feel them now, but I promise when you leave this place, not a single one will remain.
It seems though, your body is indeed responding to my process. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. And, as I'm almost finished, we can move to how the mind and body will help heal your soul.
As I've mentioned before, all of us at this shrine are one bonded soul. We understand each other, we feel the energy of one another, and we connect on levels that are necessary for us to fully heal you. Come with me, and I'll help begin your journey to a soul filled with warmth.
Come along, now that you're clean. We can rest in the hot spring alongside my sisters. Don't be shy, the others are very warm and welcoming, but their time will come soon enough.
For now, I will take care of you. Let me disrobe along with you, and I'll step into the bath. Come, enter the bath and sit beside me, I promise I won't bite.
