Kaiser-Franz-Josef Hütten [Sunday evening]

As the sun goes down, so do the temperatures. Tonight has edged towards freezing: perfect weather for hearty soups, strong schnapps, and sitting by fires doing a whole lot of nothing.

Mmmm. Vacation.

There are four huts (well, huts that sleep eight and have saunas, living rooms, and fireplaces, so your definition of hut may vary), and everyone is paired up for sleeping (in rooms with either a double bed or bunk beds ~~depending on which is funnier to you~~, with shared living and dining space for the eight of you to mingle, roast marshmallows, throwing raging parties involving Cards Against Humanity and glühwein, etc.

[OOC: Please knock before entering another group's hut, and as always NFB posts should be put into personal journals. Hut assignments are here]

The restaurant offers both a weekly special menu (this week featuring venison and mushrooms) or an ala carte menu of traditional Austrian favorites, including noodles, schnitzels, roasted pork, and gulash soup. Make sure to save room for homemade apple strudel, too!

In addition to it serving food, the restaurant also has a cozy fireplace and a fully stocked bar, so you are more than welcome to stay a while and chat with the rest of the Fandomites.

Tonight there's a hike with a guide to do some stargazing, or you can do your own thing.

Once in Fügen, the après ski really sets off: whether under an umbrella or in the bars, skiers (and people pretending to be skiers) party, dance, and flirt for all they're worth. Later in the evening, the party moves into the many bars and clubs or one of the four discos. Tonight also features toboggan races by torchlight and night skiing.

[OOC: Tag your post to tell people where you are!]

Ugh, OCDing is hard when the baby refuses to be put down. Sorry for the delays, folks.

Steve, against all odds, had managed to make a puffy ski outfit not look completely ridiculous. He was listening very seriously as the man at the top of the toboggan run explained why wearing headgear was important and was not going to tell him about how he jumped off buildings for a living.

"This is going to be swell!" he said, grinning enthusiastically.

Since skiing hadn't killed her (yet!), of course Summer was going to go out and enjoy the night life and dancing and that the drinking age here meant she could have beer. She didn't buy all these cute clothes just for them to sit in her suitcase, either!

Hannibal smiled and made his way over to the other teacher. "Have you ever been tobogganing yourself?"

Freezing and fish people did not go well together, no. So Sidon, as much as he would have liked to enjoy exploring and whatever other fun awaited outside, was resolutely remaining in the hut that evening. With perhaps every spare blanket he could find draped over his shoulders as he sat on the sofa, wanting to be close to the fire but not too close. Fire and fish people were not quite a good combination, either.

He was trying to stay positive, though, and was very glad for this thing called hot chocolate that was helping to keep him from being completely miserable with this less than ideal climate.

Sitting by the fire with a warm drink sounded perfect to Kitty, so that was her entire plan for the night. She came armed with a trashy romance novel that had absolutely nothing to do with real life, because real life was not intruding on her damn vacation this week.

Steve shook his head. "Closest I came was sledding, but that doesn't really count."

"Still closer than I have," Hannibal said. He'd had to use sleds on occasion, but never just for fun. "They look as though they're enjoying themselves, though."

"They do," Steve agreed, "and I'm a big fan of trying new things."

Especially if they were fast, dangerous, and potentially life threatening!

Hannibal chuckled. "New and dangerous things?"

"It's been known to happen," Steve said, grinning.

"Fortunately, they also have medical crews on standby," Hannibal said, grinning back. "Shall I attempt to stop you, or take pictures and send them somewhere?"

Steve handed Hannibal his phone and got ready to make his run, grinning. "Record it and send it to Jan, Tony, and Natasha in the contacts?" he said. "Make sure you tell them I wore a helmet. They'll be impressed."

Hannibal took the phone and checked it over.

"And are you going to wear a helmet?" he asked.

"This time," Steve said, nodding. "The guy watching us seems to be taking his job seriously and I don't want him to get into trouble."

Hannibal nodded, pleased. "Then I'll tell them. Go, enjoy yourself."

With a "yahoooooooooooo" that would've made Dum-Dum smile, Steve launched himself down the run with his usual disregard for the laws of safety and gravity.

Hannibal chuckled and managed to get the entire thing on film.

Then, as Steve was making his way back up, he mailed the clip to Jan, Tony, and Natasha as requested. Steve asked me to tell you he is wearing a helmet, he added to it.
