Boston, Massachusetts [Friday night]

[heroic_jawline]

It's our last night in Boston, everyone! Go out, eat in restaurants, party at clubs, or put on comfortable sweatpants and participate in a reenactment of the Boston Tea Party, where we'll dump fake tea into Boston Harbor!

...um, no one tell Seivarden.

HOTEL

[heroic_jawline]

We're spending the week at the five-star/five diamond Boston Harbor Hotel. Hotel luxuries include a private health-club style spa and fitness center, award-winning dining, and a full-service 34-slip marina.

Rooms 10/15

[heroic_jawline]

Students' deluxe rooms have windows out over downtown Boston, and their chaperones' premier rooms have views out over the marina and into Boston Harbor. The rooms come equipped with all the amenities and two full beds or one king depending on which is funnier. You can also rent an experience, like a sundae bar or an actual bartender. Alexis and Tahani figured this out. Surely this will end well!

[OOC: Room assignments are here, NSFW goes into private journals, yada yada.]

Room 212--ROOM PARTY

[sexy_giraffe]

While adults were out dumping tea into water or whatever, Tahani was spending all of the school's money by hiring a bartender, getting DIY s'mores and cupcakes, and bringing in a DJ she'd discovered at Bow Market this morning.

Honestly, if no one else stopped by, she'd be perfectly content, but it was more fun to mingle, yes?

If Troy was honest, he sort of thought throwing tea into the ocean sounded like a lot of fun, but, if the rumors he'd somehow magically heard about a party going on back at the hotel were true, there was clearly no other option that evening than to go to it, obviously.

And with a DJ's music to follow, he was pretty sure he was definitely making hte right choice.

"T-Bone in the house!" he barked out on arrival. "Let's get this party started!"

The tea ship had sounded interesting but Belle decided that perhaps socializing with her classmates was a better use of her time this evening.

She'd never been to a party like this. That made it educational, right? Not that everything had to be.

"Do you do this often?"

[white_oleander]

Technically speaking, one could throw tea into a harbor whenever they wanted, but a Fandom room party was a once-in-a-break-trip occasion that Astrid would not want to miss...especially when she found out who was behind it.

Oh, this was going to be good.

Jo thought the party sounded a lot better than being out on the ship so she decided that it would be fun to interact with other people on their last night.

She hadn't been to many parties with people her own age so she she was hovering near the door somewhat awkwardly.

Food 10/15

[heroic_jawline]

Well, you definitely won't starve this week, even if you never leave the hotel. Rowes Wharf Sea Grille offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner with both indoor and outdoor seating. Its afternoon tea is also extremely popular. You can also go for drinks and snacks at the Rowes Wharf Bar starting at 4pm. Or you can stay up in your room and order in.

Stark's trip had been going well until this morning when it had taken a very unexpected and dramatic turn. He had spent the day in his room, pacing anxiously and talking to himself and to Faye. Faye, having remained a bird in spite of his pleas, had not talked back.

He wasn't even sure what sort of bird she was, or what she might need. He had eventually needed food though, and he hadn't wanted to order anything to the room in case he had to explain the presence of a large bird to hotel employees. He'd simply put the do not disturb sign on the door and stayed inside. Eventually he'd grown hungry enough to leave and found himself downstairs at the bar for a large drink and something to eat. Hopefully one thing, or both, would help.

Amenities 10/15

[heroic_jawline]

Whether its the 60-foot lap pool, the Pelaton bikes and yoga classes you're all dying to try out, or the spa, the hotel has your fitness needs covered. The gym is open 24 hours, which is very helpful for you insomniac health nuts.

EXCURSIONS

[heroic_jawline]

You're on your own to find restaurants and clubs and bars, but the school has set up an event a night if you'd rather stay with the group!

Boston Tea Party Ship

[heroic_jawline]

Because we're in charge of reality here and this should be a thing Come on a nighttime tour of the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum and learn about the history leading up to one of the most famous public acts of vandalism in history. And then dump stuff into the water!

There will be tea and cakes after!

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Jon was still a bit bemused at the intense mythology around this thing, but he could appreciate being mad at monopolies and taxes (if not appropriating other cultures to do it), so he was up for it.

And always for tea and cakes.

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

[special_rabbit]

Yeah, no, please no one tell Seivarden about this, or, if they did, make sure not to mention Amaya's involvement, because she wouldn't miss this for the world! That was a bold move on the part of the Colonists, and if there was anything to instantly win Amaya over, it was a bold move, especially in the face of kings and what not!

And, hey, at least thanks to Amaya, Seivarden would have at least had a warning that this was, in fact, a thing, right?

Just don't mind her gleefully dumping things and bad mouthing the king all the while.

"Amaya, what are you doing?"

It might be fake tea, but still.

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

[sith_happened]

Anakin just liked throwing things, let's be very honest here, and he was grateful Beaker wasn't here because somehow that kid would've been tarred and feathered and the boat would be sinking.

He was having an excellent time between selfies back to Rory who was telling him what parts were historically inaccurate. (Not much, she had to admit.)

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

[1000yearstoolate]

Yes, Seivarden had been warned that this had occurred in the past, but not that people enjoyed repeating it.

"Aatr's tits, are these people insane?!"

Someone walking past gave her an odd look.

"I really hope it's not real tea this time," Seivarden told the person, who hurried off, then she looked around to see if there was anyone here she knew.

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"It isn't," Jon said from nearby. "It's, I would imagine it's far too expensive to do for real."

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

[alwaysonguard]

Dwight was of course going to be here for this. And he was going to enjoy every moment of this like the blue-blooded American patriot that he was. Sorry Jon, Irene and other Brits in the group, just give the traitors their moment to savor this one more time.

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"You're enjoying this," Jon noted, amused.

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

[sword_chocobro]

To say that Gladio had been amused in particular by this little section of this American Revolution's history was a little bit of an understatement, so when he heard about this...well...

He wasn't sure anything like this could be used against Nifs, but there was just something pretty damn cathartic about reenacting a protest against an empire simply by throwing things that Gladio was more than happy to embrace. It just felt symbolic, dammit.

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

[notagoose]

Even though Goose did find the history part quite fascinating he also liked the idea of throwing stuff a lot more.

He wouldn't be having the tea or cakes though, he'd had enough sugar to last for a while.

Go It Alone 10/15

[heroic_jawline]

Tell us what you've found to do!

Oleana

[canlendanear]

On Alara's last night she decided to try another restaurant since she had been enjoying making her way through the different restaurants in Boston and had ended up trying a Turkish restaurant. Like before she didn't recognise any of the menu so she was trying a lot of recommendations and by the end found herself eating a lot of dessert.
