Atlantis Resort - Wednesday [Rooms & Activities]

[noboynextdoor.livejournal.com]

As the sun rose over the Bahamas, it brought with it all the signs of rain...

Oh, who are we kidding? It was another warm and sunny day here at Atlantis, and with everything at the resort reset and ready, all that was needed were guests ready to go out and have an amazing day.

The tropical drink stand was finally open, and Jack wandered over to Kate's towel with something he couldn't remember the name of -- but it was frozen, a color not found in nature, and about half rum, which felt perfect.

He might even admit that he was checking up on her, in his repressed way. "Here," he offered, holding the drink out. "It's hot. I thought you might need to stay hydrated."

Kate eyed him and the drink – mostly the drink – through her sunglasses in silence, for a moment.

"Hydration is generally a good thing," she then said, reaching for the drink. "And alcohol is even better. This has alcohol in it, right?"

"I haven't had anything to drink in three days without it," Jack said. He was only exaggerating slightly. "Rum and ... whatever they use to get it to be that color. It's sweet."

Kate tasted the drink. "Hmm. It's pretty good. And looks like something you shouldn't drink under any circumstances." Really. It was not a natural color. "Thanks. I would've bought something myself, only I'm kinda going broke."

"Some of the bars will let you charge it to the room," Jack told her with a little shrug. It might have helped that he actually was eighteen, too. "I agree -- it looks like it came in a vial labeled, WARNING, DO NOT BREAK."

"And then they broke it, and served it anyway," Kate mused, examining the drink. "But at least we're not in Fandom, so it shouldn't have any delightfully wacky side effects."

Yeah, the words 'delightfully wacky' were practically dripping with sarcasm.

Re: Atlantis Beach

"I think the best thing about this vacation is the distinct absence of the delightfully wacky," Jack said, nodding n agreement at the sarcasm. He'd needed normal. "Well. Except that there's still a felt frog with us."

Re: Atlantis Beach

[vanillajello]

"Yeah but that's just Robin. He's pretty fun," she said, shrugging. "And Warren's here, too, but I think he's somewhere dying of heatstroke in that coat of his."

Not that she counted Warren as anywhere near as weird as Robin.

Re: Atlantis Beach

"He seemed to be in a pretty good mood this morning," Jack shrugged. "I drew him as a roommate. I hope he finds a way to take the coat off before we go."

"That would be nice," Kate agreed. "We kinda had vague plans of going out for coffee together here, and it would be kinda awesome if he wasn't totally uncomfortable through the whole thing."

Re: Atlantis Beach

[bitten_notshy]

Jack smiled. "The next time I see him in the room I'll make him go find you," he promised. "You shouldn't spend the trip deprived of coffee."

Re: Atlantis Beach

[vanillajello]

"Coffee I can get on my own," Kate noted with something approaching a lightly amused smile. "But I'd like Warren's company. So I guess that would be nice of you."

Re: Atlantis Beach

[bitten_notshy]

"I like being nice," Jack said lightly. "So I guess it wouldn't be too much of a burden."

Re: Atlantis Beach

[vanillajello]

She raised an eyebrow. It was barely visible because of the sunglasses. "So, right now, are you being nice by checking up on whether I'm still freaked out?"

Because she knew that was what he was doing.

Re: Atlantis Beach

[bitten_notshy]

Jack's face twitched as he tried to work out an answer. "A little." A lot. "But I also thought you could use a drink the color of a chemistry experiment gone wrong."

... that second sentence was true, too, but only because Jack thought everyone could use drinks the color of experiments gone wrong. It had been that kind of vacation for him.

Re: Atlantis Beach

[vanillajello]

"Well, I appreciate the drink."

That other thing, too, but good luck wrangling that out of her.

"It's very... alcoholic, and I needed it."

Re: Atlantis Beach

[bitten_notshy]

"It's what vacation is for," Jack said. "Come find me sometime if you want me to buy you another one."

Or if she wanted to talk about the other thing, but he didn't expect that. Drinks, though ... drinks he could do.

Re: Atlantis Beach

[vanillajello]

Yeah, it was unlikely she'd talk to him about the other thing.

... At least until she'd realize that if she wanted to really talk about it, it would have to be to him, because her (still surprisingly intact) loyalty to Mitchell would prevent her from telling anyone the whole story.

But for now it was just about the drinks. "I'll keep that in mind, thanks."
