Necker Island, Tuesday Morning

Hopefully, everyone from Fandom had just enough fun yesterday that a) they wouldn't be worn out and tired, and b) they'd want to do even more entertaining things today!

Please ignore any reports of decent weather back in Fandom, the sun and breeze are so much nicer here!

[OCD is up, have at it!]

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.

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.

[[ your room assignments are here! please move any threads that go above the PG-13 label to a private journal. ]]

The Great House has a spacious dining room, where you'll find an extensive tropical breakfast in the morning. There's seating area outside as well, and the woman behind the bar will make you any number of cocktails if you ask nicely.

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.

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.

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

Just outside the house sits an enormous infinity pool. It's not quite as stunning a sight as some of the other pools on the island, but on the other hand-- it's an infinity pool, right by your house.

There are several other houses on the island, many of which offer different kinds of facilities for those looking for a thrill.

The Beach House is the second-biggest place on the island. It rests between the island's two tennis courts and provides lunch as well as a bar and game tables... and the most impressive pool of them all.

Like most places on Necker Island, the Beach House comes with an extensive seating area. There are sofas outside on the tennis- and swimming pool sides, but you can also opt to drop yourself on the large couches upstairs, which provide a more panoramic view - and game tables.

Technically, there are two tennis courts right outside the Beach House. Grab a racket, a ball and a friend, and play a game. If you dare do that in the glaring Caribbean sun, anyway.

Beach House supports what has to be the island's most impressive pool, a sprawling freeform infinity pool with a swim-up bar. Nearby is a nice thatched house with chairs to sit at, if that's more your jam.

Are you hungry? You don't even need to leave the pool! There's a special sushi kayak that takes off into the pool every now and again, providing a wide selection of sushi rolls both vegetarian and not.

And finally, Beach House supports a 30-seat jacuzzi right outside the pool, in case all the other luxury wasn't great enough.

Temple House is a large, round, Balinese-style house further along on the island. It's got a lounging area with an enormous library - and of course another infinity pool outside.

Sandy Turtle Beach sits right outside the Beach House, fringed by palm trees and offering hammocks to hang out in. There's a table set up for lunch dining if you're in the mood, an aqua-trampoline anchored in the bay and kayaks and-- oh, right, there's also the ocean.

Bored of lounging already? You can always take the zipline down from the Great House to the beach.

Sandy Main Beach is offering a kitesurfing course for beginners today! Get together on the beach and get yourself set up. An instructor will guide you in how to use the equipment - you'll be hitting the waves in no time.

Necker Island is home to a wide variety of tropical animals. A guide will take you across the island, pointing out the many lemurs, flamingos, iguanas and other wildlife that can be found in the lush tropical forests. At the end of the tour, the guide will take you to feed the tortoises on the beach.

It's supposed to be 72 degrees in Virginia this Thursday. THANKS GLOBAL WARMING. >.<

"What time is it?" Dante muttered.

He squinted at the alarm clock across the room. "... 5 AM. The fuck kind of time is 5 AM?"

He blamed the waves. They were noisy.

Okay, sitting still for a day was fine.

Sitting still for two days was nonsense.

So Dante headed down to the beach and immediately glommed onto the kitesurfing group. It looked awesome.

And turned out that unnatural grace made you really good at doing backrolls. And jumps. ... and a kite loop.

"I have no idea why I should leave this area right here," said Atton.

Who had a drink, a snack, and some really ridiculous tourist sunglasses.

Screw you, he didn't want to go anywhere there'd be animals.

Normally, Clint was content to stay around the hotel during these school trips, but the idea of getting to see a bunch of different animals had captured his attention, so he'd brought Kitty with him and was happily following the guide and whispering to her.

"Iguanas can be house pets, right?" Clint, no.

"I am pretty sure the dogs would not be so happy about that one," Kitty warned, keeping it to herself that she thought the iguana was pretty cute.

"What about a lemur? They might think it was like a strange looking cat?" Clint suggested with a grin. "There's so many of them here, they'd never miss one."

"Also pretty sure that's illegal in all fifty states," Kitty pointed out.

Kitty had a dragon. In case anyone forgot.
