Copacabana Palace, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Monday - Evening

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

While the sun might have been setting, the activity in the city was not dying down. Far from it, actually. There was more and more noise as the work day ended and the celebration began. If you were into that sort of thing, that is.

The hotel was still open for those less interested in the nightlife of Rio de Janeiro.

Copacabana Palace - Rooms

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The deluxe beach view rooms (http://www.copacabanapalace.com/web/orio/deluxe_beach_view_rooms.jsp) have stunning views of the world-famous Copacabana Beach and some feature Juliet-style balconies. All have king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms which feature a bath with shower, air conditioning and high-speed internet for those students who would get twitchy without it.

Copacabana Palace - Room 324

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

Elphaba had returned to her room after her time swimming, and now lay on her bed in a towel, drying her hair.

She'd try to find a vegan restaurant somewhere in this town. They had to exist, surely. Not everyone here was just devouring the flesh of animals wantonly. She hoped.

Hanna had been trying to locate Elphaba all day...or at least when she wasn't on the beach, completely oblivious to her surroundings at the time.

Now she was back at the room she woke up in, hoping her friend was there now. She knocked on the door.

Elphaba quickly put on her glasses and went over to the door. Using the peephole, she was able to see it was her friend and she opened the door, still in her towel.

"Come in, quick," she said, but she was smiling. "I've not yet had the chance to dress after my shower. I didn't realize how sand could just get... everywhere."

It had put a slight damper of her enjoyment of the beach.

Hanna stepped inside, though she quickly said, "Um. I can come back if you want me to?"

"I just didn't want to leave you out there too long," Elphaba said. "Come in, please. You can talk to me out here while I get dressed in the bathroom. I've been wanting to see you since I woke up this morning."

And had been back to her normal self.

"Oh. Well, good thing I'm here then. There was only so much spend I could spend on the beach anyway," Hanna said with a laugh. "So, um, there's something I wanted to talk to you about."

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 324

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"There is?" Elphaba said, having grabbed some clothes from her suitcase. She stopped for a moment to look at Hanna. "I hope nothing bad happened yesterday."

She really hoped her friend wouldn't have had to deal with anything unfortunate.

[new-it-girl.livejournal.com]

"Nothing too bad." Other than strange looks, which Hanna was still annoyed about on Elphaba's behalf. "Actually, this is something good. I hope."

She produced her cellphone. "There's something I wanted to show you."

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 324

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"Is it another text?" Elphaba said, not sure how that could be a good thing. She set her clothes aside for the moment and stepped over to look over Hanna's shoulder.

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 324

[new-it-girl.livejournal.com]

"No. I think even she, he, it...knows better than to bug me when I'm in Rio," Hanna said, smirking. "Anyway, there are some pictures I want to show you."

She brought the pictures up and then handed the phone to Elphaba. "It's me...I mean you...you know what I mean. I tried on a bunch of my clothes and stuff...things that compliment your skin tone. You don't have to do anything with this, I just thought you should know there are more options."

Elphaba looked through the pictures, emotions just welling up inside her. It wasn't just that she really did look gorgeous in the pictures, it was that Hanna had thought to do this. To take the time to show Elphaba this, to take all these pictures and...

Elphaba was very verklempt.

"Oh, Hanna," she said, so very overcome. "Thank you."

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 324

[new-it-girl.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," Hanna said, smiling at how happy Elphaba looked. "And, um, there's no leather or anything involved in any of those bags or shoes. I made sure of it."

Copacabana Palace - Room 326

RIO! RIO! RIO!

After a portal ride through several stupid lounges decorated in late Fifties and then futuristic magenta, Kenzi was thrilled to be in Rio. And wondering who her roomie was.

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 326

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Eventually, said roomie was knocking on the door with a cheerful announcement of "Room service!"

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 326

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi quit bouncing on the bed to head for the door, already grinning. "You brought me foooood?" She opened the door. "I made it!"

"Seafood ravioli," Toby said with a nod. "Well, actually, the name was something long and complicated and Italian but I'm pretty sure 'seafood ravioli' about covers it." He grinned. "Hey, you."

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 326

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you! You are my favorite boyfriend," she informed him, then went for a hug after he put the food down. "And I'm me again, which you already knew, but should be said anyway!"

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 326

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"Well, you were always you," Toby pointed out, glomping back. "You just weren't a you-shaped you for a while there."

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 326

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"And you were Scully-shaped! Echh!" Kenzi squeezed him harder, then kissed his cheek. "So what room did you get?"

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 326

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"This, as it happens," Toby told her. "Hopefully that's cool with you?" He could... find a couch in the lobby to crash on or something if not, he figured.

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 326

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Ah! Totally cool, please. I shared with Bart, I can so share with you." Kenzi beamed. "You're okay with it, right?" Alone time, yay!

Okay, he probably read that, but, c'mon. It didn't have to be alone naked time.

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 326

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"Gosh," Toby tapped his chin. "Let me think: alone, for a week, in an awesome room at an excellent hotel with my amazing girlfriend. I thiiiiink I can handle it." And who knew? Maybe they could work up to naked time. Or... partially clothed time. Something.

Re: Copacabana Palace - Room 326

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Damn straight!" Kenzi leaned in to kiss him, then grabbed the food. "And oh my god I missed lunch, and even with Anna eating like I had a parasite all weekend I'm still hungry. Foooood."

"Didn't have to be a telepath to know coming up here with offerings of food was a safe bet," Toby teased, watching her with amusement.
