Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia [Evening, February 28, 2014]

Final night in Malaysia -- enjoy the warmth and the dance clubs while you can! Not that you can't dance at the Devil's Nest and be warm... actually, you just can't be warm in Fandom right now. Sorry.

So party like it's the last non-freezing night of your February!

Still in the city centre at the Mandarin Oriental, home of elegance, luxury, and more marble than you can shake a polished column at.

Students are lodged in deluxe park view rooms with great views of KLCC Park and large marble bathrooms, and the chaperones are five floors up in the club park view rooms where they have access to the hotel's club amenities (weekday deli lunch, afternoon tea and evening cocktails). Everybody has room service, though!

[OOC: Your rooms are here; naughty stuff goes in your personal journals!]

If anyone needed Cordelia, she was going to be spending way too much time in her room tonight, trying to pack.

"Trying" meaning she brought way too much stuff and then bought more and so she was going to have to do some kind of packing gymnastics to get everything in there. She wondered if there was a UPS...

Infinity pooooooooool. Swim forever! Or at least until you have to leave tomorrow.

The gym offers a variety of classes, including yoga, zumba and Tai Chi, two outdoor tennis courts and indoor golf, or you can just pump iron and pretend not to ogle your hot fellow guests.

The Spas at Mandarin Oriental are born out of a sincere understanding and passion for wellness, which they define as a way of life that focuses on physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. Otherwise known as "I want to be a warm, happy sloth. Do stuff to me. It should smell good."

After a week of vacation where it felt like she hadn't actually done much- which was sort of the point of vacation- Sia went to the spa, since she hadn't done that yet and it was right here.

She didn't say anything about sloths, nor did she say anything like "do stuff to me." She probably should have.

Maddie had tried to order a drink, just in case they actually let her, and that had not gone well.

So she was sitting here with a juice. Yep.

With nightly DJs spinning the hottest club music from a gold-plated booth, Sultan Lounge is the place to be in Kuala Lumpur. (Open 10pm until 3am)

On her last night here, Kitty wanted to actually get out and do stuff, and also her room was boring when it was just her. And while this place wasn't really her scene, they had music and presumably dancing, and that was enough for her. She went to the bar, got a drink, and decided to check the place out for a minute or two.

One last evening of vacation life left? Yeah, Isabelle was spending it at a club. She just couldn't help the attraction to pretty people watching. And dancing and flirting.

And checking the club for signs of demonic activity. That was just for fun too!

MO Bar is a classically cool cocktail bar with an elegant interior and wonderfully relaxed ambience. Home to one of the best and largest selections of single malt whiskies in Kuala Lumpur, the bar also serves a choice of cocktails, mocktails, wines and spirits. In addition, guests can choose from a variety of delicious snacks including smoked mozzarella fritters, Alaskan crab cakes and wagyu burgers. With a pianist playing classical music every night except Sunday, MO Bar offers a uniquely elegant atmosphere for evening drinks. (Open 12pm until 12am)

I am not in Malaysia, and it's cold here.

THANKS, OBAMA.
