Jurassic World, Tuesday, October 13, 2015 [Evening]

[nookiepowered]

See? What did we tell you? Evening has arrived, and no chompy chompy death has yet befallen any of our travelers!¹ As the skies darken, the stars begin to glow overhead and the air cools down a bit, but it's still plenty warm enough to go walking around in shorts, tank tops and adorable safari hats because come on now. The bronto-- apato-- brontosauri brontosauruseses would be disappointed if you didn't adhere to the dress code. Nobody wants a sad bron-- apat-- thunder-lizard.

"Nah," Atton said, looking up at her. "Just means you need to sit your ass down and look too good for this place. It's easy."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

Sarah was generally good at genuinely feeling better than people and places. But there were some places she just found herself feeling like a impostor. Annoying.

She scrunched up her nose. "Easy for you to say."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

"What, you think I fit into this place naturally?" Atton asked, rolling his eyes. "I'm lower-class trash from Alderaan. Don't be a pain in the ass, Sarah."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

Sarah rolled her eyes back at him, but she did take a seat.

"'S what they pay me for."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

"No, they pay you to coach students, or whatever," Atton said.

The look he shot her was only a little worried. "Drinks are on me if the school doesn't pay them. What've you been up to?"

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

Sarah shrugged and settled down. "Not much. Went to the gardens yesterday. Walked around today."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

Atton observed her for a second or two. "Good or not?" he said.

She wasn't being very forthcoming about that kind of thing.

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

Was she ever?

She eyed him back. "I'm sorry," she drawled, "I'd think it's a little early to be composing a What I Did On Fall Break essay."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

Atton rolled his eyes. "What, you need a three-week trial to have an opinion about something?" he said. "That's not the Sarah I know."

He waved towards a waiter.

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

Sarah multitasked by sipping her drink and rolling her eyes at the same time. "Plants were nice, dinosaurs are fucking freaky, and I don't think this dress fits. Happy?"

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

"Ecstatic," Atton said. He smiled up at the waiter. "Bottle of whiskey, please?"

His eyes only darted to Sarah for a second. Just in case she had objections.

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

She just gave a soft snort and focused on the drink she had.

'Whatever', as the kids said.

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

"The dress fits," Atton added.

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

There was silence.

For a second.

"Thanks," she... told her drink.

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

Atton nodded. He settled back into his seat. "Now point those rolling eyes at..."

He searched the locals, found a guy whose tie was a little crooked. "...That guy."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

Sarah gave the guy a critical look.

"Ugh. I hate ties."

No, she didn't. She was trying, alright?

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

The guy blinked as he realized he was being looked at. Then he started fidgeting with his tie.

"See?" Atton said. "Everyone here's insecure about how they look."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

"Mmh." The most non-committal of all non-committal sounds. She took a bigger gulp of her drink. "What've you been up to, anyway?"

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

"Not much," Atton said. He stretched his legs out. "I'm not too hot about this 'let's hang out with Krayt dragons for the vacation' plan, so I'm keeping an eye on everything."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

"That space boy talk for 'dinosaurs'?" she asked, although she was already assuming so, as could be guessed from how she moved right along. "I'm sure it's perfectly safe, as long as some of the particularly dim-witted heroic types don't get any ideas."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

"You've met our dim-witted hero types, right?" Atton said, slanting a look towards her. "I'm expecting one of them to start poking the big one with a stick any minute."

Beat.

"It'd probably be Skywalker."

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

Sarah snorted. "Well, Skywalker is not my responsibility."

So technically speaking, she didn't have to care.

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

"Yeah, but if Skywalker causes all of these creatures to riot, it is going to be our problem," Atton pointed out.

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[electrocynic]

Sarah shrugged.

"Eh."

There was the responsible guidance counselor everyone knew and loved.

Re: Hotel -- Saur Cocktail Bar [10/13 - Night]

[suitably_heroic]

"Aren't you supposed to be some kind of superhero?"

Atton snagged his whiskey and took a sip.
