Maybe you can avoid being carded if you tip really well.

Mac's up and about bright and early and ready for breakfast. She orders up a fruit salad and some tea and finds herself a table with a nice view.

Jenny is up entirely too early. She's yawning and in search of coffee when she spots one of the students. "Hey."

OOC: I have a kidlet around. Slowplay OK?

Mac grins and raises a hand in greeting, "Morning," she then gestures to the plate in front of her, "the food here, is so good. I love England already".

Jenny nods and tries to cover another yawn with her mug of coffee. "It looks like seriously good food. And the place is beautiful. Got any plans for the day?"

"This hotel is certainly very... shiny. Makes me a little nervous to actually touch anything." She took another sip of tea, "I think I might check out Camden Market, Oxford Street, something more touristy maybe. I have to see if I can pick up some souvenirs to take back home. My brother will bug me forever unless I don't at least bring him back a shirt or something. How about you?"

"I was thinking the Tower of London," said Jenny. She grinned. "Historical and with a nice, icky history behind it. Plus I've gotta find a grocery store. A friend of mine back at Fandom Town wants Jaffa Cakes, whatever those are."

Mac smiled, "Yeah, I hear the tower of London has a some facinating exibits on at the moment, pretty gory, but interesting. I was looking up about some of the stuff I should check out on the internet before we left."

She looked a little puzzled, "Uh, what exactly are Jaffa cakes?" Mac asked ~~while her mun giggles and munches on some~~.

"Yeah, there are some great webpages out there if you know the right places to look," said Jenny. "And gory? Well, I like a good horror movie as much as the next gal."

Jenny shrugged and looked helpless. "No clue. You think some poor English grocer will take pity on me? ~~Mmm, yummy!~~"

"I had a bit of fun looking up things on Friday night." Mac smiled, "I just love watching bad horror films, mainly for the fun of sitting and mocking the effects. As of fandom, I feel like an expert."

"You'd think your friend could have given you some clue." She shrugged. "I'm sure there's bound to be someone willing to help you out with that one anyway."

Pip found himself up suprisingly early. Leaving Xander and Blair snoozing, he snuck down and got himself breakfast.

He toyed with the waiter abour crossoints a bit before giving in and having bacon and eggs with a hot pot of coffee.

"Not exactly the cafeteria but I think we can make due." said Pippi walking up.

Mac's had her fruit a good night's sleep and tea, she's practically bouncing. "It's SO much better than that stuff they call food at school," she grins, "How did you all sleep?"

Fun! But, you know, also, apparently, lonely. The group from Fandom had no reason to say "hi" to a person they thought was a stranger. Nadia would have to figure out how to fix this without going over and saying "Hi. I'm Nadia. I'm a boy now and I don't know why."

So she grabbed some food and sat down at an empty table.

This would require some deft manipulation and planning ~~which meant, of course, that she would fail miserably at it~~.

"I slept great!" The beds here are sooooo soft!" Said Pippi.

Totally ignoring the boy at the other table.

Mac spots a boy standing near them watching their group, he looks a little uncomfortable and she doesn't recognise him, but she grins and greets him anyway, "Hey".

Nadia looked up, ever so slightly surprised, then grinned at Mac. "Hi," she said.

"Hey." Said Pippi.

"Are you alone? Would you like to join us? I'm Pippi."

"Thanks." The accent might have been slightly familiar, since Nadia wasn't up to changing that right now, but she hoped the sheer unbelievability of being the opposite sex would help her cover. "Yeah, I'm here on . . . vacation. I'm Na-er-Nate."

"Na-er-Nate? That's an interesting name. What kind of name is it?"

After spending far too long staring at her new reflection in the mirror and trying to find which of her clothes still fit her, Nadia headed down for breakfast. She waved Pip before suddenly realizing that, heyhey, he probably wouldn't recognize her.

Which would be fun!

Pip tilted his head to the side slightly as the strange boy waved at him.

"... You look familiar. Do I know you? I mean, you waved at me and all."

"Maybe he thought you were somebody else. I know all eyepatch wearing Frenchmen look alike to me."

"Yeah, well we tend to travel in the same circles," Pip said, knocking back a cup of coffee.

"Does that mean if you choose where we go sight seeing today we'll run into more?"

Asked Pippi, who'd actually met quite a few eyepatch wearing Frenchmen but wasn't sure how many because they all look alike, except for that "Le Chuck" guy, and this made it hard to count.
