Kohala Coast, Hawaii | Evening | Tuesday | February 22

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Though the temperatures dipped slightly and the moon was hidden by some thin clouds, there was still excitement in the air as day turned to night. The bright lights of the resort came on and activities suited to Hawaiian nights began in earnest.

The bars, clubs and restaurants were open, the beach was lit with the glow of the moon and the group from Fandom was given plenty to keep themselves occupied until the wee hours of the morning. Have fun, everyone!

Guest Quarters

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the Fairmont Orchid's spacious Signature Ocean Front Rooms each of which offer a private lanai with a view of the ocean, moddable King bed or two Queen beds, and many other common amenities (http://www.fairmont.com/orchid/Accommodations/GuestRoomsIndex.htm).

Room 525

[trigons_child]

Just before dusk, Raven returned to her room to wait for Jono. She still had on her far-too-colorful dress and hoped Sookie was right that he would like it.


[For the aforementioned boy, though the roomie or anyone else can catch her before they go.]

Resort Activities

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

If you feel like sticking by the resort this evening, there's loads to do (http://www.fairmont.com/orchid/Recreation/)!

[Feel free to create subthreads with different activities]

The Pool

[endsthegame]

All right; by Tuesday evening, Ender had to admit to himself that maybe he was avoiding everyone. He'd had his dinner early and left when everyone else went for the dining area, and now he found himself at a nearly-empty pool.

There was something relaxing about swimming at night. It might actually be an idea to try it out in the ocean tomorrow, in the quiet. The water would be warm enough.

Now, though, he dove deep into the water and let it carry him. He touched the bottom of the pool with his fingertips and pushed off, like a parody of the Battle Room, and tried to quiet his mind.

Shopping

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory had more than enough people to bring gifts back for, it's true.

But most of her energy tonight was set on finding tiny little Hawaiian print dresses for her daughter, because she knew Anakin would pretend to hate it. And Juliet would look adorable.

Shopping - Na Hoka

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

It felt like a good day for Alexander to hit the shops and try to find presents to bring back home to Daventry for his family. So far, he'd gotten quite an impressive collection going....

...and then he hit Na Hoku (http://www.kingsshops.com/index.php/shopping-dining/na_hoku/), one of many jewelry shops (http://www.nahoku.com/) he could have gotten trapped in, but it had done a fine job of getting him maudlin and sad, looking at all those pretty pearls and thinking of which one he would get for Cassima if only...

...or perhaps he would get it for her anyway. Just in case. One could never know, right? He was deciding if that was too pathetic.

It got even worse when the kind saleswoman explained to him that Na Hoku meant 'stars' in Hawaiian. Now he simply had to...

Dining

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Enjoy the sunset, delicious offerings, and romantic fine dining in Hawaii at Brown’s Beach House (http://www.fairmont.com/orchid/GuestServices/Restaurants/BrownsBeachHouse.htm), dip your toes in the sand for a more casual dining experience at Hale Kai Restaurant (http://www.fairmont.com/orchid/GuestServices/Restaurants/Hale+Kai+Restaurant.htm), or discover new favorites at one of our other excellent (http://www.fairmont.com/orchid/GuestServices/Restaurants) dining options.

Norio’s Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had tried sushi maaaaybe twice in her life, and both times, she'd sort of stuck to the whole California roll thing.

Tonight, though, she was feeling adventurous. Blame the fact that she'd gotten to see lava up close -- it somehow made her much more daring. So she decided to take herself out to try real sushi, in a sushi bar, and see what the fuss was all about.

Luana Lounge

[bootlessjane.livejournal.com]

"Dear Daddy," started the letter that Jane was gleefully scribbling down as she enjoyed her comfortable seat and delicious snacks at the Luana Lounge (http://www.fairmont.com/orchid/GuestServices/Restaurants/LuanaLounge.htm) that evening, "you are never going to believe where I am sitting right now, writing to you, and what the last few days have been like..."

And the scribbling would continue, her drink and nibbles often forgotten as she got terribly involved in transcribing practically a short novella of a letter to her father.

She was, however, incredibly interruptable. In fact, Professor Porter would probably be grateful for someone cutting the letter off a little.

Masquerade

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

After a day spent enjoying the beach or exploring the Big Island's many sights, relax in genuine refinement at this upscale bar and lounge (http://concierge.fairmont.com/details.process/OID_8C536BEE/OLID_13571/MID_628/CID_8/SID_392/BID_72555/), where patrons gather over billiards or play board games. If you've repose in mind, settle into a cozy chair, peruse the pub-style menu, order a favorite cocktail or imported ale, or even sip a cup of gourmet Kona coffee.

There was pool. That was something Jaina could get behind, especially since she'd gotten to the point where she didn't suck so bad again. If she could get back to her pool shark wannabe level, that'd be great, but for now she was just having fun practicing.

Re: Masquerade

[boobs-and-bombs.livejournal.com]

Kūkaku had a cocktail in one hand, and her hip leaning on a pool table. She was mostly just hanging out there to see if anyone was stupid enough to ask her to a game. Plus, she had nothing better to do and was already feeling bored with this fancy ass vacation crap.

Re: Masquerade

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. An upscale bar that wasn't filled with children. Deadpool was totally there to booze it up.

And play board games.

Or maybe just drink more. Yeah, drinking more seemed like a good plan.

Re: Masquerade

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

After spending part of her morning exercising and then spending her afternoon at the spa, Summer didn't want her night to go to waste, so she decided to check out Masquerade.

She ordered herself a drink (yes, there was alcohol in it) and debated whether or not to try out a board game or two.

Kahakai Bar Oceanfront

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Kahakai means 'beach' in Hawaiian and this beachside bar (http://www.fairmont.com/orchid/GuestServices/Restaurants/KahakaiBar.htm) features a Polynesian-style thatched roof, refreshing trade winds and billion dollar views of Mauna Kea and the blue Pacific. A variety of tropical libations and mouth-watering pupu (appetizers) are served.

Dolf was a manly man (shut up, stop laughing) and wasn't going to opt for any of the millions of cocktails they had on the menu. However, he was also a distinctly underage manly man, which meant his options were a little limited.

"I'll have a cola," he informed the barman, flopping down into a seat. "And a-- uh, pupu?"

No, he didn't get why anyone would think the name was funny.

This was very quickly becoming a routine, wasn't it, Kate at this bar in the evening?

Tonight, there were two differences in comparison to the previous two nights, though. One, Kate was wearing cut off shorts and a tank top instead of the sundress. She didn't want to get predictable, and besides, the shorts showed off her legs a little more. Always a plus.

And two, she'd started with the alcoholic drinks straight away. Tuesday seemed like a good day to get a little tipsy when the Wednesday that followed wasn't a work day, right? And that had nothing at all to do with wishing to drown any jealousy or anything. Nothing at all.

[fiery-demigod.livejournal.com]

Leo had been in and out of delinquent schools his whole life, it's not like he had never had alcohol before, but he was still sort of a goody two-shoes at heart. So he was at the bar for lack of anything better to do but he was sipping on a coke and eating the appetizers after laughing at the name waaaaay too much.

Re: Kahakai Bar Oceanfront

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

While Puck had spent the vast majority of his day napping and enjoying the sun, he knew that eventually it'd be time to put on a shirt (only because they were forcing him to) and find somewhere else to be.

The bar seemed like a good enough place, and he managed to avoid having to drink any fruity pink things in favor of a beer. And yes, he'd spent a solid amount of time giggling at the appetizer names.

Re: Kahakai Bar Oceanfront

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

Alex couldn't get enough of the beach, so she was at the ocean front bar once again, her dress similar to the one she'd worn the first night out at the bar. She ordered herself a colorful drink (a different one than the other night) and helped herself to some appetizers.

They looked too good to pass up.

Re: Kahakai Bar Oceanfront

[dontvotemeout]

After the day he'd had dealing with Percy, Jason thought he totally deserved a drink tonight. It was either that, or try to find something or someone to beat up, and he didn't think that would be as readily available somehow.

Re: Kahakai Bar Oceanfront

[sake-shinigami.livejournal.com]

Shunsui hadn't been down to the bar yet! How had he not been down to the bar yet?

Well, he realized, when he did get down to the bar and took a look around, it might have been that so far it was because it was mostly the kids there, and that was no fun. There were still very attractive servers to flirt with, though, and that was good enough for him!

Plus the drinks were as amazing as the scenery. And by scenery, Shunsui did not mean the beach ♥.

Re: Kahakai Bar Oceanfront

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

After a day of product testing out in the ocean, Bruce made his way back to the bar, wearing a brand new shark tooth necklace. He probably found the tooth on the beach or something. Really.

Re: Kahakai Bar Oceanfront

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Just like the day before, the best way to wind up all that sun and swimming and exploring as at the oceanfront bar!

And Ariel was discovering the little plastic swords for olives, and so a pile of them would soon be joining the umbrellas she got last night.

OOC

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

And we are done! You can ping down here if you need something we can help you out with! Silly questions will be fed to my cat as she is a chubby thing who likes food.

Re: OOC

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

I need a picture of a shark on a motorcycle.

Please note that this is not a question, silly or otherwise.
