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!

ROOMS 10/13

[heroic_jawline]

Students are in Superior Twin or Superior Queen whichever is funnier rooms, which come equipped with a mini-bar, wifi, and soaking tubs. The chaperones are in suites, with either a king-sized bed or two doubles. The teachers also have access to the executive suites' courtesy room where they can pick up snacks and coffee and complain about students without them overhearing.

Room 106

[bookbeltof_love]

The room was lovely--well, at least as lovely as hotel rooms went and, after the last two weeks, she was more than willing to be charmed--but...

But...

Nina did a full sweep of the rooms before she came back to stare at the bed in complete dismay.

"Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," she said, scandalized, to Foomy. "There's only one BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

If her roommate was, like, a girl it would be okay. But if it was a guy, well...

Foomy burbled supportively at her as, feeling a bit faint, Nina sat on the edge of the one, singular bed and tried not to think of all the ways she could be completely doomed.

Sidon, who had no luggage himself except perhaps a small bag of things he'd gotten used to having around Earth, made himself available to his classmates should they need any assistance with theirs before going to inspect his room, giving Nina plenty of time to wallow in her various pathways of scandal and impropriety. He himself was a little worried, as he always tended to be on these trips, as there was not always a suitable option for a Zora available in these rooms, and, even when there was a tub of sorts, they were often still quite small.

So there was a knock at the door to alert his roomate that he would be coming in, if they were already there, and then the door opened slowly and he poked his head in. "Sorry for the intrusion," he started, but then he stopped with a laugh when he saw who was on the bed, threw the door open, and launched himself inside.

"How absolutely marvelous!" he declared, opening his arms. "Nina! It appears that were shall be roommates this trip! Spectacular! I daresay, I don't believe I could have gotten a more splendidly enthusiastic and cheery choice!"

Re: Room 106

[bookbeltof_love]

And by the time Sidon had shown up, Nina's imagination had decided that she was most definitely rooming with a guy and that it would be terrible, she would end up--oh, but ladies didn't wind up sharing a bed in the first place! Really, even sharing a room was making a grand and noble concession in the first place and now--

Then Sidon showed up and all her wildly swirling thoughts stuttered to a halt as she blinked up at him and then, relieved, burst into delighted laughter.

It all made sense now! Of course there was only one bed! There was a delightful soaking pool and naturally if one was rooming with Sidon then, why, a second bed wasn't needed!

"Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said delighted. "You have saved me, Sidon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Re: Room 106

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Saved you, Nina?" asked Sidon, laughing with his own increased bout of delight...albeit maybe a little confused now, but how could he be anything but thrilled at the idea of saving someone without even apparently having to do anything? "Why, it is my honor, of course! But...forgive me for my ignorance on the matter, but what precisely have I saved you from?"

Whatever it was, he certainly hoped it was something daring and exciting!

Re: Room 106

[bookbeltof_love]

It was! ... But mostly in her fevered imagination.

"From the terrible ignominy," that was the word you were going with, Nina? "of having a room shared with an undesirable sort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nina beamed up at him.

"So, you see, you have saved me simply by being yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Re: Room 106

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Sidon, with another burst of a laugh, beamed down right back at her. "Then what excellent fortune it is for both of us that I should be me!" he declared, sweeping a pump of a fist forward and flashing an incredibly bright and proud grin. "And, by all means, Nina, should you ever need such a rescue again, I assure you I will be ecstatic to oblige! Though I can't for the life of me imagine what undesirable sorts you might have feared to fall in with on such a trip! However, you have my undying word and unbreakble pledge that I shall continue to protect you from them by striving to be completely, devotedly myself!"

Suite 208

[brat_inslayage]

Aw, man, this was making Kennedy all nostalgic already. Maybe a touch melancholy, too, if she thought about who she'd shared a room with on most of those trips, but nostalgic all the same.

Would her roommate object if she went ahead and just claimed the bed closer to the window? Only one way to find out.

Re: Suite 208

[magnusrushesin]

"Aww, I was hoping for bunk beds!" No, Kennedy. He wouldnt mind at all.

Re: Suite 208

[brat_inslayage]

“What, in a place like this?” Kennedy laughed. “Way too upscale for that. Kind of a shame, really. You know people would pay crazy amounts of money to get luxury bunk beds and tell themselves it's authentically rustic."

Not her, but she definitely knew people.

Re: Suite 208

[magnusrushesin]

"Or hammocks. It's like some real Fire Festival shit," he agreed.

Re: Suite 208

[brat_inslayage]

"Right?" Kennedy rolled her eyes, mildly amused. She'd heard about all that business, yeah. "I'm guessing you would be my roommate this week?"

Room 103

[howareyanow]

Uncle Eddie did say that part of the reason he was sending Wayne off to school was to see a bit more of the world than Letterkenny, but he had to admit, he was feeling just a bit sore about the fact that the start of this trip was landing right on Thanksgiving, meaning he couldn't exactly keep up with tradition and be in Ecuador at the same time. But...it was what it was, and he was here, and he had plans to at least be present in a certain capacity by pretty much Skyping Katy all day tomorrow, but, for now, he supposed it was finding his room and scoping the place out to get a bit settled before deciding just what to do with himself (which probably meant figgurin' out jus' where exactly he could go to just step out and have a dart).

Suite 205

[notallbluemonks]

"Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit."

That . . . was going to be a phrase repeated a few times as long as Beau was going around the room taking stock of the amenities, yeah. She was mildly disappointed about not having an in-room hot tub this time, but hey, maybe they'd fail less at actually leaving the room and doing vacation-y things this trip!

And no, she wasn't going to be touching the mini-bar. After everything she'd learned about the cost of wine, keeping the winery books back in Kamordah? (And also the bit where she'd figured out how to make a nice black market profit with it?) She wasn't going to let herself get grossly overcharged for tiny bottles of booze. Please.

She would totally fling herself down right in the middle of the bed and enjoy the super comfortable mattress, though.

Room 105

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Uuugggghhhhhh," and that would be Prompto, discovering himself to be the first person to the room at the hotel, tossing his bags on the floor and turning just enough to flop himself down on his back on one of the bed and let out a groan in the privacy of the room for just one second. It took a lot, pretending to be all eager and excited and focused on fun when you were still kind of all burning up and jumbled inside and actively avoiding someone who you just sort of wanted to sweep up into a hug and never, ever let them go.

Ex.Haust.Ing!

Prompto closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, letting him just have a moment to recharge before picking himself back up, getting back out there, figuring he could at least hide behind his camera taking shots around the city. He'd get to it. He just needed a moment. Or five. To just sprawl out and space out for a moment before it was right back out there in chipper, cheerful glory...

He was also sparing a mild thought for who his roommate was going to be, thinking it was too bad no one seemed to have brought their dog with them this time....

Siiiiiiigggghhhhh.

Re: Room 105

[raisedbybooklice]

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?"

Re: Room 105

[raisedbybooklice]

"Yes," Elisabeth said, giving him a smile of appreciation as he helped move her things. She hadn't brought much - she didn't have much to bring - but it was still unwieldy to carry by herself. "And you're Prompto?"

Re: Room 105

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Yeah," Prompto shot her a crooked grin, "that's right. Nice to you, like, outside-of-class meet you, Elisabeth. Especially since, you know, we're stuck together for this thing. Any rules for the room you wanna set up? I'm pretty easy, though. I might wake up early sometimes because I like to go run," and he knew they'd be eating a lot on this trip, probably, "and I'll try not to sing too loudly in the shower."

No guarantees on that one, though!

Room 210

[imafuturist]

Tony might have sniffed a little at the rooms, but his taste should not be taken into consideration because it was insane.

"Coffee and the jacuzzi," he decided, putting luggage down.

Re: Room 210

[heroic_jawline]

"Can you bring coffee into the jacuzzi? That seems like a mess waiting to happen," Steve said.

His phone chimed. "Natasha says Patriot is the most spoiled puppy alive."

Re: Room 210

[imafuturist]

"Natasha is just upset she can't use him on a mission this time," Tony replied.

Re: Room 210

[heroic_jawline]

"He would be very good as a mission asset," Steve said with a grin before honesty compelled him to add, "as long as he didn't have to follow directions."

Re: Room 210

[imafuturist]

"He's getting better at listening!" When food was involved.

Room 101

[crack_that_whip]

Trevor was sort of used to having a roommate at least. Kinda. He was used to Mae, which may not help him with other people, but whatever.

He'd just cross the bridge when he came to it. And possibly end up sleeping outside if things got weird.

But for now he was picking the bed closest to him and flopping over on it. Travel was annoying.
