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

[heroic_jawline]

It was a sunny, perfect day today. You might not even need your trapper hats! As a bonus, the school had rented a double-decker Hop On Hop Off bus so you could accidentally leave them there! Do not throw them from the bus. People would yell at you in French and English.

Rise and shine, Fandom! Or hide in your ridiculous rooms throughout the castle! Anakin doesn't care enough to find you all.

Duh, of course Raiden was going on a food tour! There were so many new things to eat in a city like this, after all. He might also be quizzing their tour guide for tips at the end of said tour.

He was also definitely wearing his new hat on top of his usual backwards baseball cap. What? He thought it was fun!

"Later tonight, we'll be going to a multi-course dinner featuring First Nations cuisine," Liliana offered. "If that's something you think you might be interested in trying for yourself sometime, darling, I'll be happy to pass along the name of the restaurant."

"Oh, that sounds great," Raiden said. He'd have to do some research to find out if it was the kind of "multi-course" situation that could handle him or if he'd be both pre- and post-gaming at McDonald's, but, "I would really appreciate that, thanks."

She pulled out her phone and scrolled to the restaurant. "Of course, darling, my pleasure. Restaurant La Traite she said, showing him the menu shed pulled up. "We're going for the five course meal, though there are other options. I've heard good things about Sagamité as well, but La Traite was closer to our evening entertainment."

"Oh, this looks great," Raiden said as he made notes on his own phone (there were a couple of typos, but with his fingers and the keyboard it was bound to happen). Damn, had it been a long time since he'd had seal. Of course, there were reasons for that, blah blah don't hunt things to extinction or we can't eat them any more blah. He wondered if he could get Gray to go with him or if his picky little brother would think the food was too weird. "Thank you again, and I hope you guys have a great time. Are you enjoying Quebec so far?"

It was full of French people, but Liliana seemed like she might vibe with that.

"There's a crypt," Liliana said with glee. "A crypt with nine hundred tombs in it. We're going to explore it after lunch!"

Shockingly, so far Liliana's favorite people were the dead ones.

"This is our first time out of the hotel, however," she said, reining in her enthusiasm a bit. "Yesterday was spent getting further acquainted with our suite."

Which was what the kids were calling it these days.

"Nine hundred tombs, huh?" Raiden said. Well, it was spooky season, but it still wouldn't have been his choice for how to spend his vacation. Still, if it floated her boat... "Wow, that's a lot of tombs. And the suites are really something, aren't they? I think mine is bigger than my apartment." Of course, he had to share it, but so far Lana seemed fine.

He also wasn't a necromancer, which probably factored into his disinterest, at least a bit.

"Ours is fantastic," Liliana agreed. "Other than the fireplace being merely decorative, I don't think we have any complaints. I will have to come up with a reason for us to use the dining room at least once before the week is out."

Re: Food Tour

[carbsliftthespirit]

"You got a dining room?"

This was hurtful, Anakin.

Re: Food Tour

[deathsmajesty]

"Oh," Liliana said. "Do they not come standard in the suites?"

Poor Raiden. Did he at least get a turret?

Re: Food Tour

[carbsliftthespirit]

He did not get a turret. Or a second bedroom like those assholes in the 2 Trudeau 2 Quit suite. "I guess they must all be different," he said. "We do get a butler, though."

Butlers for everyone! Except students. Sorry, students.

Re: Food Tour

Clearly, Raiden needed to start some kind of riot as protest for inadequate luxury.

...Just not near Liliana's suite, so it wouldn't get caught up in the furor. She liked their suite.

"Oh yes," she said. "Ours has been quite helpful procuring tickets and things, as well as suggesting activities. And times. Getting suggestions about when to best schedule things to minimize crowds is wonderful."

If their butler did nothing else but pass onto her times and places where tourists would be thickest, Liliana would consider it worth every penny the school was spending on them and more besides.
