Banff, Alberta, Canada, Thursday, October 29

[heroic_jawline]

The weather dipped down overnight, which could be a reminder to buy yourself an adorable, warm, touque before leaving Canada.

Or it could be your sign to stay inside and rest in the hot tub. We leave the interpretation up to you.

Time to see Banff, folks!

Dining

The staff is starting to side-eye Flint at the steakhouse, but everything else is still welcoming!

Grapes

Thursday noon... ish found Dante picking at a pizza at Grapes.

Yeah. None of this was working. (The restaurants here were too fancy, and he wasn't the one to appreciate them, and maybe last night he'd spent half an hour in the bathroom staring at the wall...) Whatever burst of energy he'd had after getting out of Sid's trap was well and gone, and the change of scenery hadn't fixed it.

He sighed, pulling out his phone and navigating to the Portalocity app.

Finish this pizza. Maybe the next one. Then he was out of here.

Fitness

Hot rock treatment? Facial? Running for an hour on a treadmill? The wellness options have you covered.

Jon wasn't interested in seeing a bear in a cage, so fine - he'd get pampered. He eyed the treatments, but all the skin things seemed to involve lotion. On the other hand, it had been a while since he'd had a haircut, and he had liked that more modern one he'd gotten for Eliot and Margo's party...

So that was how he found himself sitting in a barber's chair getting a slightly undercut style. And maybe being talked into covering his grey. Dear lord, he might end up looking his actual age!

Illyana did not really care about seeing the bear. It was a bear, and she wasn't allowed to pet it. Whatever.

But the view, that she cared about, and the chance to 'Step to the very top of the Golden Skybridge.

[gospel_of_oblivion]

It wasn't the roof at Xavier's... but it was a pretty damn good view.

So good that Illyana was tempted to use magic to see how high up she could levitate, until it felt like she could touch the stars.
