Necker Island, Sunday Afternoon/Evening

[endsthegame]

The advantages of portal travel were on clear display this trip: other visitors to Necker Island would have had to take a small ship to the island, but the portal dropped them off right in the lobby of the Great Hall. The scent of coconut was in the air, there were cocktails available, and the water crashed neatly against the beach.

There were only a couple of other guests on the island (including a tall man who liked to wear his baseball cap backwards - you know, a dad). It was a small place, and the school had rented almost all of it.

Welcome to paradise.

The Great House

[endsthegame]

The Great House is the hub of all things Necker Island. Not only does it contain many gorgeous open bedrooms, outfitted with enormous terraces, but the house's perch on the island's highest points also grants it some incredibly scenic lounging possibilities. In fact, up on the roof, you'll find a jacuzzi big enough for four at a time.

Don't fight over it.

Rooms

[endsthegame]

Every private room has a double or twin beds, depending on what's suitable and/or funny which one you're assigned. Every room comes with a private en-suite bathroom and a beautiful view of the beach on either side of the island.

Room A3

[crimson_sister]

It was far too hot, especially if you were wearing a corset and a proper dress, and Lucille had yet to discover air conditioning. At least she had made sure to bring her umbrella. She had also learnt that there was such a thing as sun screen and she was now trying to apply it without staining her dress.

Large Upstairs Suite (With Hot Tub)

[shiroi_tiger]

Well. Nathan really hadn't been expecting to end up assigned to the fancy room (comparatively, as it was his understanding that all of the suites here were some manner of fancy), but he most certainly wasn't complaining.

Especially when he went exploring and discovered the hot tub.

"... I might never leave."

Apparently, he'd won the vacation jackpot.

Room C6

[myownface]

"Oooh my god."

Sparkle had discovered the view.

"Ooooooohmygod."

He was kind of glued to it.

"Ohmygod."

It was possible he was going to just stay fixated here for, like, a few days. That was what room service was for, right?

Room A1

[rebelseekspizza]

"Holy shit," Dante commented.

He flung his bag onto the giant bed and eyed the gorgeous scenery and--

"Do we have a minibar?"

Priorities.

Room B5

[cracksmostly]

". . . oh."

Merrill had been all but tiptoeing everywhere since they'd arrived, as if she was afraid to even touch the floor here.

Which she was. She was accustomed to Fandom by now, and to the general idea of these school trips, but there was still no way she could be in a strange new place full of this kind of luxury and not have all her instincts screaming you shouldn't be here, someone will get angry.

So by the time she got up to the room and very gingerly put down her tiny bag in a corner to go stand out on the terrace and take in the view, that was really all she could say.

Room A2

As soon as he got to the room, Frank started settling in. That meant, of course, turning the desk into a makeshift bar and pouring himself a drink or several. Sorry if you wanted to write any notes or anything, Ada!

Hyacinthe, for all his mannerisms and florid speech, was still a poor street kid at heart. The dorms back at school were finer accommodations than he'd ever known. This room blew him away.

He tossed his few belongings onto the bed and spent the next few minutes just touching everything with a sense of wonder, half-waiting for someone to come in and explain they'd made a mistake.

Room C2

[heroic_jawline]

"Holy crap," Steve exclaimed, jaw dropping when he saw the view.

He suddenly saw the appeal of being stupidly, ridiculously rich.

Room A4

[greenexorcist.livejournal.com]

"Oooowaaaah!"

Shiemi was in awe. For a school trip she'd been expecting just a hostel. Maybe a hotel. But never this. Even the places she stayed at when they were on ExWire assignments weren't this beautiful. And they'd been to Kyoto!

She chose a place to set her bags down and then turned and opened the sliding door...

"IS THIS TAKAMAGAHARA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takama-ga-hara)?!"

Dining

[endsthegame]

The Great House has a spacious dining room, where private chefs serve different takes on local cuisine every evening. There's seating area outside as well, and the woman behind the bar will make you any number of cocktails if you ask nicely.

Terrace

[endsthegame]

The Great House comes with a wrap-around terrace that supports hammocks and cosy sofas. There are board games and even chess sets available - and a fully-stocked bar.

The Great Room

[endsthegame]

In the center of the Great House, you'll find the deck, which provides a stunning scenic view of the surrounding area, more seating, a pool table and a piano. Also, champagne. And a lot of it. Or would you prefer drinking a welcome cocktail in a coconut? (Nonalcoholic versions available.)

And if you take the stairs up, you'll find a four-person jacuzzi. Nice!

Re: The Great Room

[halfaclink.livejournal.com]

Frank was enjoying a welcome cocktail right now, following a few other welcome cocktails and directly before what was likely to be a great many more.

Re: The Great Room

[vrajna_kralis]

Hyacinthe had been about to go learn what a 'jacuzzi' was, but he got distracted on the way. There was a something soothing about sipping a cocktail out of a coconut, looking out over the island.

If anyone came looking, they'd find him curled up in the most comfortable chair he'd ever sat in, reading a book and enjoying a drink made with fruit he couldn't even name.

Infinity Pool

[endsthegame]

Just outside the house sits an enormous infinity pool, which remains warm even in the nighttime hours. Jump in, give it a try! There'll be plenty more swimming to do elsewhere for the rest of the week, but there's no place like home.

Re: Infinity Pool

[era_two_triangle]

Peridot was going to check out the pool.

Peridot was sitting completely submerged at the bottom of it, her arms crossed in front of her chest, unimpressed.

This was meant to be fun? What was wrong with humans?

Rest of the Island

[endsthegame]

It's dark out, and most of the facilities are closed. Still, there's a few things to do for the enterprising guest.

Beaches

[endsthegame]

Not far from the Great House, you'll find quiet Turtle Beach, surrounded by palm trees. There's not a lot going on there, but the quiet may be nice.

A short walk away, you'll find the Main Beach, where all the sports equipment is and you can grab a comfy chair and some lights - candles also available - to watch the surf.

Go For A Walk

[endsthegame]

Or take a trip around the island. It's big and has plenty to see - just bring a flashlight.

Maybe you'll even spot a lemur!

Re: Go For A Walk

[wildandbrave]

Guess what Cosette was going to do? Grab a flashlight and go explore and hope to spot a lemur, that's what.

Lemurs or not, she was going to cover as much ground as she could before she got too tired to keep going. Oooh, and maybe tomorrow she'd try some surfing.

OOC

[endsthegame]

First day, so let me know down here if I messed anything up in the room assignments!

Re: OOC

[goforthe_optics]

I don't see Tali on the room list?

Also a GIF, because it's the OOC thread.
