Banyan Tree Resort, Friday [Evening]

The temperature was holding at a not-so-chilly 27 degrees celsius (or eighty degrees fahrenheit for some of you). As night fell, a few clouds formed in the sky, but so far they seemed to be drifting past peacefully, releasing no unpleasant showers on the resort.

Nightfall meant the bars were open and booming, but there was plenty to do elsewhere, too!

Villa 128 | [12/10: Night]

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-10-12 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
For the record, Natalie had actually been outside the villa, too. That did not negate the fact that she was there right now. But hey, she'd actually done the vacation thing, and hung out in her bikini (yes, she owned one, shock)! Even if it had been just on the veranda.

And by now, she'd pulled her kimono-ish robe on over the swimwear but still. Vacationing! At least if you ignored how she'd just finished up Peter's translations and focused on how she was leaning back in her chair with a sigh and looking at the view.

It was entirely possible that Jono was one of the very small number of people at the pool who had absolutely no intentions of getting into it. In fact, he was fully clothed, even in a tropical bloody paradise, with his jacket with the tall collar obscuring the bottom of his face and everything.

Odds are, he wasn't going to stay that way. Not if he was intending to actually carry through with the plans he'd made to spend dinnertime with April. A man could only live on room service for so long while on vacation, even if he was hell-bent on becoming some sort of giant grey tropical hermit or something.

"Shall we start with drinks tonight, luv?"

There was a bar, after all.

Oh, April didn't particularly want to swim either. So far, the closest she'd gotten to the pool was a chair in the shade, where she'd napped all day yesterday and the day before. Mmm, naps.

"Always a solid plan," she decided. Starting with anything besides booze would be ridiculous, after all. What would be the point? "Something that isn't scary colorful, though. And no umbrellas."

"I was going to just ask what sort of lager they carried," Jono shared, because he was predictable, thank you. "I'm not exactly a fan of the tiny drink umbrellas myself, you know."

... It would be kind of hilarious if he was, really.

"Really?" Oh, April believed him, she was just giving him a hard time. As Aprils did. "I don't know, you seem like a Cosmo guy."

"Well, blast. It seems you've found me out," he replied, a little dryly. "How will I ever get through the day, now that you've discovered my terrible secret? I simply can't get through a day without a drink that's been prettied up a bit with cranberry and lime juice, after all."

"The good news is you can admit it," April said, mock-seriously. "I think they have support groups for that kind of thing."

"'Hello, everybody. My name is Jonothon and I'm addicted to girly drinks?'"

He couldn't actually remember the last girly drink he'd had.

"Just like that," April said, reaching up to pat his shoulder. It was quite a stretch. Damn it, Jono. Then she leaned forward toward the bartender to request "A beer and something pink for this guy. With a pink umbrella."
furnaceface: (Ponder)

[personal profile] furnaceface 2012-10-12 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"The umbrella is for her," he supplied, helpfully. "She's just afraid to admit it."

Yes, Jono was reaching down to pat her shoulder. Not so much of a stretch for him, anyhow.

"Better bring me a Carling, too, if you carry it. I'll need something to wash that pink taste out with."

Because he'd drink it. Really, this was practically a dare, and who was he to back down from one of those? But there was no way he'd do so without a beer chaser.

Olive was happy enough to just quiiiietly chill out tonight by the pool. She had a book, she had an iPod, she had a cute swimsuit (http://www.everythingbutwater.com/swimwear/browse/products/seafolly/pinup/45987+30070-385+175.html), and at night there was no danger she'd burn to a crisp.

She was going to be severely depressed when they went back to Fandom. Severely. Fling-herself-down-on-the-couch-face-first depressed, maybe.

Jim figured that the night was young and he could head to a bar a little later. Right now, he couldn't resist the allure of the pool even if the sun was going down. He was still gonna swim and, after that was all said and done, he was gonna grab some food from the bar and sprawl in one of the loungers.

[identity profile] dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
"So," Olive greeted him, carrying her book and towel over to a lounger near Jim's, "I'm pretty sure this is the greatest vacation in the history of vacations. I could do a paper on it and empirically prove this."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] hey there)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2012-10-13 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
"That's quite the endorsement for this vacation," Jim answered, glancing over at her. "See, now you're never gonna be able to have fun on any other vacation because you're gonna be trying to measure it according to this one. You've just ruined all future vacations, Egg."

[Oh wow, I am so sorry I missed this. I passed out hardcore last night.]

"Maybe they can improve upon this one and build towards its perfection," Olive replied. "It will serve as a shining example of the glory that came before."

[no worries omg I figured that was what happened!]
pursuedthestars: ([hap] smirk)

"Wow, you're gonna be so depressed when we have to go back," Jim said, shaking his head. "Just do me a favor: remember to shower. I don't want you to be so upset that you let yourself go and just stink up the school like a gross sock."

[identity profile] dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com 2012-10-13 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey now," Olive said, "even in my most depressed moments, I have never let despair get in the way of personal grooming."

If anything, she'd stepped it up a notch, actually.
pursuedthestars: ([neu] chill outside)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2012-10-13 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"So, what do you do when you're depressed?" Jim had to wonder. "Do you cry? Or do you clean? Or maybe you cry while cleaning?"

He didn't have a lot of experience with what girls did when they were depressed. He didn't tend to be around and all.

Olive gave him a look. "Basing this on movies, huh?"

Because really.
