Banyan Tree Resort, Friday [Evening]

[endsthegame]

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!

"I'll take a Carling, thank you," Jono replied, smiling faintly. The leopard had been quite a sight, even he had to admit. And this man taught... science, was it? He could see the draw, certainly. "I've spent most of the evening thus far trying to eat more whipped cream in one sitting than any human being should ever be made to consume, so a good lager would definitely be appreciated."

Prof Tomoe flagged down the bartender and got Jono a Carling, as well as more shochu for himself.

"And why, pray tell, have you been stuffing yourself with whipped cream? It doesn't seem like a very good local custom."

"Dinner plans with a friend turned into 'get Jonothon some extremely girly drinks and then laugh' night," came Jonothon's slightly pained reply, "which is always more fun when it comes coupled with 'Jono still can't handle rich sweets,' and 'alcohol.'"

It had been hilarious.

"... I didn't even manage to actually order any real food, come to think of it."

Oh look, there was that evil grin again. Too bad for Jono that Prof Tomoe was one of those people who enjoyed the misfortune of others.

"How terrible," he said, with a semi-convincing sympathetic tone. "I'm not sure this place has any real food, but they do have a selection of pirate-themed appetizers on their menu, if you still need something to eat."

For some reason, the grin and the smile were not doing wonders to assist Jonothon with his mood. Weird!

"... I might take a glance through the menu here, yes," he decided, sounding perhaps a touch dubious. "See if they have anything that isn't terribly spicy or sweet, and go from there."

How strange! Usually that helped pep people right up!

"I recommend the pizza," he said. "I doubt it's in any way authentic, but it tastes pretty good." He reached for the second bottle of shochu. "And well with alcohol."

"If it's edible, I'll give it a go," Jono decided, reaching for his Carling as he waved down the bartender and placed his order. "Pizza's pizza, isn't it? I wasn't aware that authenticity had anything to do with it."

"I find that pizza tends to vary quite a bit depending on the local tastes and preferences," Prof Tomoe said. "in Japan, where I'm from, the most popular topping combination is tuna, potatoes, and mayonnaise. In the United States, pizza seems to contain more grease than any other ingediant." Ge grinned again. "We'll see how the Seychellois prepare it."

"Particularly when they're giving it a pirate theme," Jono mused, shaking his head a little. "Can't hurt to at least try it, I suppose."

He was kind of trying to wrap his head around the prospect of a tuna salad pizza, honestly.

It's a little something like this. (http://ec.demae-can.com/user_data/OTABH00001/upload/save_image/06111449_4fd586cf33119.jpg)

"So aside from facing down leopards and eating unusual amounts of whipped cream, how have you been enjoying this trip." His lip curled. "Have you been paying any attention to the students we're supposed to be chaperoning?" He gestured vaguely towards where Atton and Jace were drinking.

"I know I haven't."
