Limni Keri, Zakynthos, Wednesday Evening

The sun had sunk low behind the horizon and the temperatures had dropped a little, but Keri was lovely even at night. Crickets chirped and the sea washed across the shore, but otherwise this night was quiet. And calming.

[[ ocd up! ]]

Hotel Phoenix is still as mellow and beautiful as it was last night, though without the snacks. Venture out for dinner, stay home and cook in your kitchenette, or enjoy the spread.

This large apartment complex holds many a 2-3 person, one bedroom studio. Each studio is 280 square feet, a neat bathroom, a small living room with a couch and a nice sitting area outside. There's also a small kitchenette, to make up for the lack of a restaurant next door.

The bedroom holds two single beds or a double ~~depending on what's funniest~~.

[[ your room assignments are here! Please make sure to keep anything posted here to PG-13; anything else can go in your personal journal. ]]

There isn't a great deal to do per se, on-site. But the area is beautiful, all hills and olive trees, and the space around the hotel itself might make for a relaxing walk.

Or you could gather up in the common area, sit down on the pillows on the floor, grab a seat at a table. Read something from the hotel's small collection of books or watch television - it's up to you.

The pool has been closed for business since September, but the day's nice weather has prompted the owner to open it up near the end of the day. A little late, maybe, but to make up for it, he's set out another spread of mezedes for people who don't want to go out for dinner.

So have some Greek snacks, hang out in the pool, enjoy yourself.

A narrow street cuts between the restaurants on one side and the marina on the other. The restaurant-side is littered with small tavernas, all offering traditional Greek food in different styles. Are you in the mood for moussaka or mixed grill? Pick a restaurant, have some food.

Or steal into one of the small supermarkets if you'd rather stock up to eat in your apartment.

Keri Beach is long, and while it hasn't been segmented off by hotel or bar, there are patches that belong to individual establishments.

And one of them is having a party tonight: a DJ plays loud dance music, there are blinking lights and happy people, and of course, a fully-stocked bar. Come, dance on the beach, have fun: it's your last night here.

... or, if you'd rather have some quiet, walk along the shore of the Mediterranean and find a quieter place along Keri's beach. The beach still looks a little rough, at first: there are rocks all along the waterline. But cross the one foot's worth of pebbles and stones and you'll suddenly find nothing but sand and shallow water for a long stretch. In fact, you'd have to walk almost a hundred feet to find water that came any higher than your hips.

mmm, naps

Sabine wouldn't consider herself a party person, but she went to check things and found that she liked the music, and it wouldn't hurt to hang out for a while. She got a (non-alcoholic) drink, and hung out, happy to watch, if not participate.

Astrid wasn't sure if she really believed in signs and coincidences; she thought of her mother and her tarot and how they seemed to be more about reading the hunger in someone's eyes than the icons on the cards. But her room number had been the same at the hotel as at the school, and now the pool was open, after she'd talk about drifting to Rufus before they'd left.

People took signs out of greater stretches than that.

So Astrid was going to find something to float on and just....drift, fingers lightly dancing on the surface of the water, staring up at the sky, the way pools were meant to be used.

Okay, now, this was much more up to Rosa's speed, even if she enjoyed parties mostly for the booze, the people watching, and a good dose of schadenfreude.

And, uh...make sure the kids behaved if any of them found their way here, too. Yeah. That was totally, absolutely her number one priority. Yup...

"Sabine!"

Because of course Prompto would find the party. And of course he would narrow in on his friends when he saw them there, grinning wide, one hand saluting her in a finger-gun wave, the other wiggling his phone almost threateningly.

"Party selfie??"

"Sure, why not," she said. She was also not a selfie person, but she was at least getting used to him with the pictures, so she could smile pretty for it.

"Sweet!" said Prompto, ducking in close to get a shot with the both of them, flashing a peace-sign at the camera as he expertly snapped the picture with his other hand, grinning at the results and showing it to Sabine for her approval before adding it to the file to send Noctis later to make him all jealous and shit. "Pretty good one, huh? Having a good time?"

"Yeah," she said, but looked a little unsure about it. "I don't go to many parties, but this is pretty good. I like the music a lot."

She'd probably been to a party before? Maybe?

"How about you?"

Zoe wasn't a party person, but she also wasn't going anywhere near her room unless she absolutely had to, and this was her first vacation alone in a very long time. So, if nothing else, she was going to enjoy the drink in her hand and watch people dance.

"Oh, man, this place is great !" Prompto gushed, beaming, because he just had not been able to gush enough so far. "I got to see dolphins yesterday! Dolphins! Have you ever seen dolphines?? And my roommate has a dog . But, hey, if you see Nina, don't tell her you saw me, 'cuz she gave me an assignment and I might have not exactly totally followed through on it. Yet. I will! But I don't want her thinking I'm slacking off."

"I'm not sure I know her, so you're good there," she assured him. Someday she would meet Nina and... a reaction would be had, of some sort. "What was the assignment?"

"I need to meet Nell," Prompto explained, "and get a pic of her, so that I can send it to Vette, so that Vette doesn't tackle her. I think in case she's wearing some of Vette's clothes? Which are also Nina's clothes? Some of the deets are a little..." He wiggled a hand in the air, "Fuzzy?"

And if Sabine had met Nina, she would probably not be surprised.

Sabine nodded, taking that in.

"So Vette wants to know Nina's wearing her clothes so she's not surprised?" she guessed.

"I think," Prompto tilted his head, rubbing his chin speculatively, "it's more so that Vette knows who Nell is so she's not all ready to throw down if she sees some rando wearing all of her-slash-Nina''s clothes, or something."

Again. Very fuzzy. It wasn't easy navigating through all that punctuation.

"Okay, Nell," she said, letting that click into place. "So Nina lent Nell clothes and wants to make sure Vette doesn't think someone stole her stuff, even though it'd probably be easier just to tell Vette about this?"

...She shouldn't be this relieved to get that.

Honestly, this could be wrong, but she was sticking with this.

"Yes," said Prompto, after a moment, holding out a finger almost as if to contest something, but, no, that sounded right, and he nodded. But then said, "Maybe? Probably. I'm sure she told Vette, too, but the pic is supposed to be extra...assurance, or something."

He shrugged. If someone was going to give him an assignment that required to meet a new person and take pictures, he was mostly just going to take it and run with it.

"So your roommate has a dog, huh?" Sabine said.
