Sumba Island, Indonesia, Sunday Afternoon

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

 Welcome to Nihi Sumba, one of the best resorts on the planet.  While many resorts play lip service to ecological friendliness and working with local populations, Nihi Sumba really does walk the walk. The resort has a strong focus on sustainability and a steadfast dedication to giving back to the local Sumbanese community while respecting and helping to preserve island traditions.

The island’s remote location is beautiful but it is also isolating for the island’s people, which has caused wide-spread and extreme poverty. Since its opening in 2001, Nihi has single-handedly kickstarted the island’s economy and aimed to improve the quality of life for those living on the island. Around 90 percent of the staff on-property are Sumbanese, and many more islanders have been employed through the food supply and materials needed to maintain the resort’s upkeep and operations.

Villas

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

Nihi Sumba has more than 27 uniquely designed villas, and we will be staying in five of them. Each villa offers breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and Nihiwatu Beach, their own plunge pools, personal staff, living areas and kitchens. You don’t have to leave your villas all week! We’d like you to, though.

[OOC: Your room assignments are here.]

Kasambi Estate

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

Your beds in your Kasambi Estate rooms are king or two twins, depending on what’s funnier, your pool is private, you view is spectacular, and your estate’s personal butler is moddable! Post where you are in the estate so the other members of your group can find you. NSFW goes into personal journals.

Kasambi Estate: C Bedroom

Boy, was Summer sure glad she'd thought to plan for whatever sex her body decided to stick with that morning! Of course, patting herself on the back for her foresight would only get her so far once she went to drop her (several suitcases, for several gender expressions, apparently) into her room, which was just going to cause her to sigh.

"Just the one bed," she murmured, shaking her head and regretting some things right now. "Of course..."

Although, to be fair, she was supposed to be sharing this room with her boyfriend, so what did she even expect?

Kasambi Estate: Main Areas

[chef_chocobro]

Ignis, dealing with unfamiliar terrain in an unfamiliar body, was stubbornly refusing to ask for any form of help or assistance as he cautiously made his way around with his cane to sort of start getting a feel for the place, with a deep frown of concentration.

"Well, this all seems perfectly fine and not at all difficult to navigate," he could be found muttering to himself.

Though perhaps he should be glad to be in the estate without so many stairs...

Jon was a little disconcerted to have a butler, honestly. Though the help with his baggage was...well, helpful. And having read up on the place they were staying made him feel a bit better about it.

And unlike the last vacation, nothing here seemed likely to trigger one of his (many, many) phobias.

He'd just be sitting awkwardly in the main room with a glass of water for a while.

Lana would be happier if she hadn't had to scramble for different-sized clothing at the last minute, but this place seemed very nice. And there was plenty of beach nearby to practice her moves and get used to this body, since it was a while since this had happened to her.

For now, she was going to be soaking in the pool.

"Well, this is absolutely ridiculous," Steve said, staring out at their view.

"Ok... wow... this is... wow" Connor gave up trying to say anything and just stood for a moment, taking it all in, barely noticing the ache in his arms as he was still holding the suitcases and bags he had with him.

Momole Treehouse: B Bedroom

[sword_chocobro]

It was pretty fucking hard to not be impressed by this place as he checked out the estate and the villa he'd been assigned to, though when he got upstairs to check out the bed situation, he had to snort at the twin beds that awaited, because he was pretty sure this was probably one of those rare instances were two bed was actually much funnier than one.

And it was fine. He was used to sleeping in much worse conditions than a tiny bed.

Puncak Estate

Puncak Estate: B Bedroom

[outofthequiver]

Libby should have really known by now that the rooms for these school trips were definitely way more than just a place to sleep. She went to drop off her suitcase (and maybe see who she was rooming with this time) with the full intention of just leaving her stuff and going to go spend the rest of the afternoon exploring the resort as a whole, but as soon as she got up to her room...

The rooms themselves were practically a spectacle, and she was definitely caught in how gorgeous it was even in just the rooms. Oh, this was going to be amazing!

Re: Puncak Estate Bedroom C

[furrybluefreak]

Kurt was not all that sure how he felt about... this.... though he was somewhat relieved to find out it wasn't JUST him. But when he had woken up that morning and found he was still definitely not in his normal body, there had been a brief moment where he considered skipping the trip. But that was short-lived, and being here, even having just seen the rooms and not much else, he was glad he had come. And hopefully, the island insanity would ware off now that they were here?

Re: Puncak Estate - Pool

[napking]

Gray had made it as far as a lounger by the pool, where he had predictably fallen asleep.

Maybe when he woke up he wouldn't have boobs any more? Probably not, with his luck, though.

"Zoouuuuuuuunds!" Graham gushed, rushing into his room to scope it out, and he knew he should probably be unpacking his cloak, first and foremost, but there was a great big bed in here and he had to throw himself onto it in a splay of limbs and comfort and sigh happily at the ceiling as he concluded, "This place is amazing!"

And now he was going to be left daydreaming as he speculated on who his roommate might be. Oh, man, what if it was Charlie? Or Guillermo? Grinning stupidly at the prospect, especially in light of the last week, he was just going to sigh happily again, because it didn't really matter who his roommate ended up being, this was going to be an incredible week!

Lantoro Estate: Pool

[sexy_giraffe]

Possibly because the world was not prepared for the level of fit Tahani would pitch if she'd woken up in a different body, she was herself this weekend.

And in a bikini with a price tag that was 1)obscene and 2) definitely not designed to get wet.

She was on a lounge chair working on her tan. She'd be here all week.

Lantoro Estate: C Bedroom

[amicia_the_amazon]

Amicia had never been anywhere like this before. But when had she? Been anywhere like... anywhere she had been, in these recent weeks.

She left her bag on the floor and crawled onto the bed, where she tucked herself back against one of the pillows. Wrapped her arms around her legs, and just stared at the door. Trying to understand. Failing, somewhat.

Around the Resort

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

You can have meals served at your villas, too, but if you'd like to mingle with more than just your cohort, Nihi offers three world-class restaurants, a large pool, and some of the most spectacular beach-front property in the world.

And they have theme nights!

Ombak

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

The hub of dining activity is the main, sandy-floored Ombak (which means wave front) restaurant and bar lounge. Ombak, an exquisitely crafted open-air restaurant, serves dinner daily in a relaxed atmosphere (and will have breakfast tomorrow). During the week the resort creates special dining experiences including spectacular BBQs, one of which is moddably happening tonight. The large outside deck, cantilevered over the ocean, offers relaxed lounge seating and a spectacular private dining experience, The Nest, perched on the crest of the ocean, is perfect for a romantic dinner or an intimate group meal.

[OOC: If you're using the Nest, let us know in the subject! First come, first gets date night]

Kaboku

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

Visit Kaboku for an intimate meal of freshly caught seafood, Omakase style. Watch the sushi chefs prepare an assortment of catch-of-the-day against a backdrop of brilliant sunsets and a roaring beach fire. The chic structure captures a high-end Japanese sushi bar environment, while surrounded by the resort's signature open-air resort ambiance. The restaurant is open from 6 pm until 10 pm. The seven-course menu of local ingredients also includes avocado tofu, shrimp dumplings, Teriyaki dishes, miso soup, desserts, and more. Try the sake and wine pairing with your meal.

Nio Beach Club and Pool

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

The Beach Club keeps offering drinks and snacks as the sun starts to go down, and you can get them delivered to your chair by the pool. And isn't that what vacation is really all about?

The Beach

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

2.5 kilometers of white sand beach that looks like it's never been stepped on until you came along. Take a swim until it's too dark to be safe for that, watch the horses run in the surf, go for a walk at sunset. It'll be gorgeous.

OOC

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

I have rarely wanted to be on a fake vacation more in my life.
