Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Québec City, Québec [Sunday, October 20, 2024 ]

[heroic_jawline]

It was a perfectly crisp autumn afternoon when Fandom arrived at the literal castle they would be checking into for their stay in Québec. The portal trip had been blessedly without complications and Anakin was holding the buffalo check trapper hat that the Portalocity gnomes insisted came free with every trip to Canada under his arm. He'd be trying to lose it later, but everyone else could do what they liked with their hats.

"Check into your rooms," he said, gesturing to the front desk, "and then you may do some quiet and polite exploring of the city this evening. I expect to see you in the lobby bright and early tomorrow for breakfast and then some educational tours! You too, teachers."

Or just avoid eye contact with the dean and enjoy your trip!

HOTEL

[heroic_jawline]

With breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River and the architecture of Old Québec, each of the 610 rooms and suites of Fairmont Le Château Frontenac offers a touch of European elegance. A luxurious stay at this resort will allow you to explore the wonderful historical sites of the old walled city, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Rooms

[heroic_jawline]

The chaperones have been randomly assigned suites, and the students have been given courtyard view rooms. Each accommodation comes with two doubles or a king-sized bed depending on what's funnier. Relax, take a bath, order room service--it's vacation!

[OOC: Your assignments are here. Put your room number into the header so your roommate can find you! As always, NSFW posts go into personal journals!]

Celine Dion Suite

[hashtag_chocobro]

Gladio had offered to help Prompto with all the extra bags and luggage and other excess things that he'd brought, because this was Noctra's first really big trip away to somewhere new, and so of course he'd gone all out to make sure that they didn't forget or leave her wanting for anything, but of course he was going to insist on trying to do it all himself, with enough bags draped on him that, with his slow moment toward the room, he probably looked a little bit like a baggage claim at an airport. But he had got everything...

....or so he thought, until Ignis stepped in to hand him the one small bag of clothes he'd packed for himself that he'd almost left behind.

"And you did," Ignis asked coolly, "remember to bring Noctra, too?"

Prompto laughed at that, a nervous sort of chuckle that knew that the dig was entirely fair. "Yeah, Igs, I brought..."

He stopped. Paused. Blinked.

DID HE BRING NOCTRA???

Very quickly, Prompto was dropping all his bags and then going tomake sure that Liz had the baby otherwise they were really already starting this first trip with the kid off on a great foot, weren't they??

And he hadn't even had time yet to truly appreciate which suite they'd ended up in, either! But don't worry. He will definitely get to it. He loved "My Heart Will Go On!"

2 Trudeau 2 Furious Suite

[ifwebeworthy]

Don set his backpack, which constituted the entirety of his and Thor's luggage, and the stick down and put his hands on his hips as he studied his assigned bedroom from the doorway. On the one hand, he and Thor only needed the one bed. On the other, he wasn't sure what to think about them being assigned the one bed.

He also thought it was probably too much to ask that no one had noticed the six-and-a-half foot tall god of thunder was absent for both the portal and check in, but there wasn't anything he could do about that.

"Well, as long as the bathroom has grab bars, I'm good," he declared.

Roosevelt Suite

[heroic_jawline]

"We're living in a turret," Steve said, not able to contain his glee. " A turret."

He might not leave the room! Rooms. This place was ridiculous.

Room 619

[drumsticksandd20s]

Don't mind Steph taking approximately five billion pictures of the inside of the hotel room to send to Alex, Ryan, and Charlotte with very capslocky and exclamation-point ridden captions about being in a LITERAL CASTLE in CANADA and oh by the way, Ryan, she was totally telling the Mounties about that time he'd told Gabe they were going to come after him for accidentally hitting a goose.

He believed that one for a good few seconds, too. She liked to think Gabe would have appreciated the good-natured revenge on his behalf.

And then of course she was ordering room service, because if she didn't have to pay for it she was going to take full advantage.

Frontenac Suite

[somethingwithturquoise]

Naturally, the first thing Summer did when she got to her and Stark's room was scope out the place for its potential as a good Wednesday Night Room Party spot.

"Oh, yeah," she said, smirking faintly to herself as she coped out the little entertaining area. "This is going to be perfect."

We'll see if she was saying that if she managed to get a load of the whole ass DINING TABLE that some people were getting, but whatever! Part of the charm of the WNRP was the smaller hotel room aspect and aesthetic, so it was fine.

Van Horne Suite

[deathsmajesty]

Liliana's eyebrows were raised in a good way as she entered their suite, taking a slight pause from her ongoing description for Ignis. "This is lovely," she said. "Darling, there's a dining room and a kitchenette in here."

Were they going to have a small dinner party or something here on vacation? They might have to have a small dinner party here on vacation.

She wasn't yet entirely letting down her guard, however. If the hotel lasted longer than a few days before falling apart, then she might fully relax.

Elizabeth 11 Suite

[itsananomaly]

After everything they had been through, Cutter was very much looking forward to their vacation and he looked around their suite, “oh wow,” he said as he looked around, “this is amazing,”

Room 615

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Arden excitedly skimmed the list to find out her room number. She wasn't particularly fussed about who she'd be rooming with - while she was certainly closer friends with some folks than others, she pretty much liked everyone - but she couldn't wait to find out where she'd be staying in this literal castle.

(Yes, she went to school in a literal castle, but that was different, they didn't stay in it, okay?)

And that bright excitement lasted until she saw who her roommate was and then kind of...goddess, she didn't even know what she was feeling after spotting Cal's name next to her own. Fine, obviously. She was feeling fine. So they were roommates, so what? (Oh goddess, they were roommates.) No different than if she shared a room with Gray or Graham! This was all very fine!

Room 617

[hasaknightjob]

Steven was of course wearing his new hat. Proudly, in fact. It was entirely possible he would be wearing it the whole trip. After all, he had plenty of reason to be all right with being an honorary Canadian.

When he opened the door to his and Llewellyn's assigned room he took a look around. "Oh this is nice. Look at the view!"

Re: Rooms

[the_best_sister]

Yelena didn’t even look at the room assignment other than to get the number and grab the key card and headed directly to the room.

The one bed in the room barely gave her any pause before she dropped her suitcases and started looking through the mini-fridge.

Room 613

[what_big_teeth]

Eleanor wondered if she'd ever really get so used to the places they went for these trips that they'd cease to be impressive, but she certainly wasn't there yet, and she hoped she never actually would be. Because this was absolutely gorgeous and she was really excited to see more of it before really settling in, so she swung by the room mostly to drop off her things and maybe catch who she was rooming with this time, maybe sort of get a feel for the room a little, before heading out to see and do more and maybe see who else she might run into.

She wasn't going to say she was tempted to just rush off to find Kamala and start making plans together, but she definitely was thinking it.

She was also thinking (because she wasn't always so smart and clever) that she didn't want to seem too eager, either, so taking her time was the order of the day.

Room 605

[wildgalegirl]

"Yes!" Charlie all but danced her way into the room. "This is amazing! Oh look, room service!"

She made a whirlwind tour of the room. "I love it. We should order room service. No pork, right? Ooh! Look at their desserts!"

Someone might be a little overexcited today.

Junior suite

[mylandmyrules]

Nell poked her head in, then named out to look at the door again. Yes, okay, the key had worked, but still. "This is awful big for just two people."

Even if one of them was Gladio.

Food

[heroic_jawline]

Whether you're at Bistro Le Sam, Champlain, Place Dufferin, or Bar 1608, you're going to enjoy a meal that has been making the Château famous for more than 125 years. (And the prices will make you grateful this was an all-expenses paid trip.)

Bistro Le Sam

[single_man_tear]

After getting checked into the suite, Dean came down to get some food and of course ended up on a phone call with a hunter. Honestly the hunter part took only one minute of the conversation the remaining fifteen was Dean eating a burger while listening to the hunter complain about his love life. Finally Dean just got tired of it.

“Look, Tommy, no judgement here but if your man is stepping out with two other guys that’s a sign you need to talk. And really? Probably should just end it. Gotta go, Tommy. Good look with that werewolf.”

It was then Dean realized the other guests were giving him a strange look.

“It’s a LARP thing.”
