Evening: Manta Resort, Zanzibar [Wednesday Night]

We can stop telling you not to get eaten! Now we move onto telling you not to drown! Welcome to the Manta Resort, located on Pemba Island in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The resort was designed to conserve the natural beauty of all 381.5 square miles of Pemba Island and the waters that surround it.

Breathtaking, isn't it? It's a balmy 84°/29° as we arrive with just enough cloud cover to make the incoming sunset another specular series of photographs. The weather won't deviate much from the low to mid 80s for the rest of the week, and the clear ocean water is just as perfect for swimming in.

Different vibe from Kenya, but hopefully just as relaxing a vacation! If you hate it, you can always go back to Maryland--it's going to be 35. Fahrenheit. Tomorrow. And wet.

...yeah, we thought you'd stay here.

Reef Shark #2 - Summer's Wednesday Jello Shot Room Party!

[personal profile] somethingwithturquoise 2022-02-23 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, Summer definitely felt more confident about her jello shot room party now, this was going to be amazing, even if she felt she totally missed a fish theme potential here. Instead, it was all Kenyan fruits, which, honestly? Wasn't all that bad, either!

So texts were sent, some space was cleared, and the traditional Wednesday jello shot room party could commense! Surrounded by fishes! Nice!

[[ I actually did have shots planned out but forgot to email myself the list, and I'm stuck at work, so, in a shocking turn of events, please mod your jello! There's no shortage of options, because Summer. All adults invited, and also Summer totes hired Gladio as a bouncer as well lol ]]

Forget all that other stuff; a heightened sense for jello was clearly the best thing about that serum.

"That," Summer declared, "will always be my favorite word to describe my jello pretty much ever." She flashed a grin. "Hey, Steeeeeve. Thanks for coming."

Apparently, being the bouncer to keep any intrepid students out of the party also involved being glittered, and considering that he was pretty sure the last place didn't have anywhere that Summer could have picked up that much glitter, Gladio had a sneaking suspicion that she might have actually planned this.

And, in a way, he kind of had to appreciate that kind of foresight.

"And, as promised," Summer presented Gladio with his very first of many jello shots for the night, "the first part of your payment for your services that evening. Thanks again for agreeing to help, Gladio. I'd have asked Sidon, but he'd be the worst bouncer ever. He'd probably straight up invite half the students in."

Just because he was on vacation, didn’t mean that Goose was going to miss out on jello shots, “I know now not to mix jello and candy,” he told Summer with a sheepish grin, “I definitely learnt my lesson from last week,”

These new rooms with the fish and everything were nice and all, but they definitely lacked a very clear and distinctive escape route of just being able to throw herself off a balcony if need be. So killing time at one of Summer's jello shot parties sounded like just the thing, and if she just so happened to have had enough that she couldn't even make it up the ladder by the end of the night, well...

It wasn't Summer's first party. She'd probably take it as a badge of honor if more people had to crash in her space. In a way, she was just being helpful, really...

The place was beautiful and Dwight was sure he was going to love the second half of the trip as much as the first. But he was tired... and sore... and maybe even a bit stiff. So after dropping his bags off in the room, rather than passing out- as tempting as that was- he headed up to the party room to see how Summer's traditional shots fared with them being on the go.

"Gotta say, impressive as always" he said giving a smile and nod to Summer.

Far be it from Ignis to miss out on one of Summer's jello parties, especially when certian roommates tended to go more than a little overboard at such events.

Not that he was overly concerned or anything, but...

...okay, it was Ignis. He definitely had his concerns, it was just in his nature, and he was mostly trying to figure out how best to thread that line between responsibility and nagging.

Jon put his things down in his own room, then hurried out and over to Summer's. He gave her a genuine, if slightly nervous, wave, trying not to let the room get to him. Oddly, all the people there helped a little.

"Hello. You're, erm...very dedicated to your jello, I see." After a moment, he realised that might sound rude, and hastily added, "It looks good."

Miguel was definitely jumping off the roof. Sorry not sorry, Anakin. It looked like fun!

He was going to be so tanned by the end of this. It'd been a while since he'd had a chance to go swimming in warm water.

"Now is jumping off the roof setting a good example for the impressionable youth we are supposed to be responsibly chaperoning?" Dwight called out with a smirk.

This was a working vacation, really, but that didn't mean Clint and Kitty couldn't sneak off for date night. Tonight they meant massages, and hanging out in fluffy robes with refreshing drinks afterwards.

"Do you think we could get a masseuse for the house?" Kitty asked.

"I think it would be less expensive for me to learn how to give you good massages," Clint said. He totally didn't need a masseuse, please ignore how much he was melting into his robe now that body parts that had hurt for weeks had been relaxed.
