Hotel Dann Carlton Quito, Sunday, October 13, 2019 [Quito, Ecuador]

[heroic_jawline]

After a slight misadventure through the portals that involved a very surprised Beaker, a show full of Muppets, and Anakin being shot from a cannon (he's fine, but his hair is ruined), the Fandomites arrived in Quito, Ecuador in the late afternoon, which was not enough time to go very far in their explorations, but enough to hit the Parque La Carolina, a 165.5 acre park in the center of Quito and a five minute walk from their hotel, the Dann Carlton Quito. Despite its location near the equator, the temperatures are very fall-like today, hovering around 72F (22C) until it cooled down even further when the sun went down at 6.

Explore the city or just the hotel! Your fall break has begun!

"Welcome to Fandom, darling," Tony said, grinning as he leaned in for a quick kiss.

"It's vacation," Anakin said. "Let's do it."

Steve kissed him back. "I missed the beard."

"All right, I'll be back with two terrible decisions," Kitty said.

Re: Room 210

[imafuturist]

"I missed your shoulders," Tony replied, running his hands over them to emphasize it.

Re: Jacuzzi

"That would be an excellent name for a drink," Anakin said, closing his eyes and enjoying the jacuzzi.

Re: Jacuzzi

[sith_happened]

"I can hear you thinking," Anakin said sulkily.

Re: Room 210

Steve ducked his head, smiling. "Thank you."

"Fine!" Keyleth exclaimed so immediately it had to be reflex. "I'm just fine."

Yeah, the higher, almost squeaky pitch of your voice there really sold the claim, Keyleth.

She sighed. "I just tripped, that's all." Over her own foot. Which was nothing new.

Kennedy couldn't muffle the totally inelegant snicker-snort this time.

"I missed all this, you know?"

The trips in general, but also Anakin's unparalleled penchant for drama.

Kennedy burst out laughing. "Teacher," she got out between chuckles. "I'm a teacher. And unless my girlfriend magically shows up here like an adorable red-headed stowaway, the sock system is not gonna be a thing here, don't worry."

"Yes," Lucifer said promptly. "We are marginally closer to China than we are in your hovel of a town."

"Oh, will you stop that," Lucifer called. "This robe is cashmere!"

Elisabeth didn't have a dog to bring, sadly. But she did have her proper body back, so she was counting it as a win overall.

"Oh! Hello," she said, clutching her valise and pulling her trunk into the room. Then she noticed Prompto sprawled out on his bed. "Sorry," she said, pitching her voice much quieter. "If you're trying to nap, I can come back later."

She'd just put her stuff down and head out.

Re: Room 105

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Hm?" Prompto lifted his head at the sound of a mostly unfamiliar voice, blinking at Elisabeth for a moment before his brain was kind enough to catch up with things like words. "Oh, no," he said quickly. "It's fine. I was just--"

But then he was on his feet and heading for her trunk. "Here, let me help you with that. Elisabeth, right? I think we have a few classes together?"

"And my lovely pillow that is your chest," he added, thoroughly enjoying Steve's smile.

Re: Suite 208

[magnusrushesin]

"Alright, I can deal with that," he replied. "We are gonna need to find extra pillows, though. Not for a fort, but because I like to sleep in a sort of pillow exo-suit."

It was a goof, but in this podcast, goofs were canon.

Re: Luxemburgo Cafe

[crack_that_whip]

Yeah, that did track, honestly. Which was why Trevor sort of slowly nodded like he was adding it to the list of Weird Shit About Keyleth.

"You look weird." Wow, Trevor. Wow. "The horns not being there."

Slightly better?

Re: Luxemburgo Cafe

[goldfishontherocks]

"They're antlers, not horns," Keyleth objected, but faintly. "And I know. I feel weird without them. I think maybe my balance is all thrown off."

Also her poor charisma stat was all unbuffed now.

Re: Suite 208

[brat_inslayage]

Oh look, there went Kennedy's left eyebrow, steadily creeping up toward the ceiling.

"A . . . pillow exo-suit," she echoed, not even sure where to start figuring out what that would be like. "You know what, I've heard weirder. I can call down to the front desk, see how many they'd be willing to send up?"

Re: Luxemburgo Cafe

[crack_that_whip]

You need that charisma in new places, Keyleth! How else would she make friends with the wildlife?

"Something's definitely off," he agreed. "Maybe we can find you a hat."

Just a normal hat with no buffs. Gross.

Re: Suite 208

[magnusrushesin]

"You are my new travel buddy best friend for that." Which translated to sharing that rustic hospitality.

Re: Suite 208

[brat_inslayage]

"On it," Kennedy said, and sauntered over toward the room phone. A quick, even cordial phone call ensued, and even if it was in Spanish the overall confident ease of her tone made it clear that she was good at this kind of persuasion. You could say she had expertise in it, even, despite not being a rogue or a bard.

She hung up the phone with a satisfied nod. "Housekeeping should be up in a few with about . . . six or eight more, is that gonna be good?"

Re: Luxemburgo Cafe

[goldfishontherocks]

And no distinctive character, either! Anyway, Ecuador was likely not the best place to find one of those cheesy moose-antler hats.

. . . those probably gave you a negative Charisma modifier, actually.

"That might not be a bad idea, actually," Keyleth conceded. "It'll help me keep my ears hidden, at least. I've already had one person staring at me over the soup bar as it is."

Re: Suite 208

[magnusrushesin]

Maybe she was some sort of persuasion warlock!

"I am buying you drinks for this. But not room drinks. Those are tiny."
