The Orchid Court

[longislandiceme]

Bobby wasn't sure if he'd make it down to the beach today, but he was outside, at least, because, well... banana-macadamia-nut waffles. He'd have to be crazy to pass that up. And of course, Bobby being Bobby, he was already planning a second course for breakfast, those steak and eggs looked really good!

Rinoa was feeling, if not great, then certainly better than she had been yesterday morning. Her shields were better, and she'd had some actual real sleep.

She spotted Bobby at breakfast and waved.

"Are those any good?" she asked.

No, Rinoa. He was scarfing them down because they sucked.

"I had no idea banana-macadamia-nut was even, like, a thing, but these are pretty much amazing," Bobby shared.

Re: The Orchid Court

[angelo_wings]

"I don't think I've ever had banana-macadamia-nut anything," Rinoa said, considering it. "But the scrambled eggs are so fluffy. I hate when you get runny eggs."

Re: The Orchid Court

[longislandiceme]

"Runny eggs are just sad," Bobby agreed. "You wanna sit down?" he asked, gesturing to the empty chairs around the table.

Re: The Orchid Court

[angelo_wings]

"I think I will," she decided, setting her plate of non-runny eggs down with a smile. "Thank you."

She was going to take a moment to fidget with her orange juice glass before adding, "I, uh, wanted to thank you for letting us kick you out of the room last night."

Re: The Orchid Court

[longislandiceme]

Bobby shrugged. "It was no big deal," he said with an easy smile. "...That came out wrong," he said, after a pause. "I don't mean that whatever she was helping you with wasn't a big deal." Not that he knew the details, but it didn't take much deductive reasoning to figure out what sort of help his telepathic girlfriend had been offering. "Just that- finding an elsewhere to be wasn't, you know?"

Bobby was rapidly approaching full-on babble mode, here.

Re: The Orchid Court

[angelo_wings]

"I didn't think you meant that," Rinoa said, waving a hand. "Although it wasn't ... anything all that major, either. Something about spring cleaning? She promised it wasn't ... that she couldn't go in and ..."

Rinoa was going to let that trail off and poke at her eggs.

"Anyway," she said, with a forced brightness, "she cheered things up a little and I'm feeling better."

And therefore, everything was totally fine. Honest.

The Orchid Court

[solo_sword]

Jaina was beginning to wonder if she was trying to outdo herself with hangovers while she was still on Earth. This meant that not only would there be no training till she felt better, but there would be no being directly outdoors till her head didn't hurt. So she went to get coffee and something that she could handle for breakfast and sat at a table with a datapad... running a search for her name.

If there were any jaw drops or outraged gasps, it was because she'd found something pairing her either with an ex, or someone who possibly could have been an ex, or a girl friend, and there were some she would just pretend she didn't exist entirely.

And the sudden, "I DO NOT DO THAT," was the result of her reading something dirty involving her out of morbid curiosity that she really shouldn't have.

[HAD TO.]

Re: The Orchid Court

[weetuskenraider]

The sudden "I DID NOT DO THAT" got Tahiri's attention, and she wandered over from her table looking like she was trying very hard not to laugh.

"You didn't do what?"

Re: The Orchid Court

[solo_sword]

"Something I doubt is even anatomically possible," Jaina said, then realized who was speaking and she closed what she was reading down fast. Ignore any blushing. "Uh, hi."

Re: The Orchid Court

[weetuskenraider]

Blushing? What blushing? Tahiri didn't think Jaina did that.

"Anatomically possible? What are you -- oh, kriff. You," she said, leaning against the back of a nearby chair, eyes widening, "cannot possibly be that bored."

Tahiri had recently discovered fanfic. It was a horrifying enough experience to leap to that conclusion.

Re: The Orchid Court

[solo_sword]

"I'm not!" Jaina said defensively, then her brain caught up with her. "Wait, what do you think I'm reading?"

Re: The Orchid Court

[weetuskenraider]

"My first guess was going to be news reports from home," Tahiri told her, "until you brought up the anatomically-possible detail. Now I'm wondering if you've found some of those awful stories people write based on TV shows."

She hadn't discovered the RPF section yet, okay? Her brain also refused to go to the place where those two concepts meshed.

Re: The Orchid Court

[solo_sword]

"Close," Jaina groused. "I found the awful stories people write based on me."

Yes being a public figure sucked sometimes. Like now.

Re: The Orchid Court

[weetuskenraider]

"Based on --"

There was just going to be some sputtering now. It was required.

"People write stories like that about you?"

Yeah, Tahiri was extra grateful to be a much lower-profile figure now.

The Fairmont Store

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Okay, so Quinn couldn't exactly afford most of the stuff in here, but the clerks were willing to let her look and that was what mattered. There were a few Betsy Johnson dresses she was considering blowing a month's pay on.

Whirlpool

[sith_happened]

Anakin hadn't drunk that much alcohol in one sitting in many, many many years, and was definitely feeling the effects this morning.

Which was why he was hiding in the whirlpool (with his sunglasses on because light was clearly evil), hating everything, but especially fanfiction writers.

And tequila. He also hated tequila.

Re: Whirlpool

[trigons_child]

Raven was spending the morning wandering about the resort, making certain she hadn't missed anything interesting to do.

When she walked into the whirlpool area and saw someone was there, she started to say a polite "Excuse me," then realized it was Anakin and turned an interesting shade of crimson, quickly spinning around and squeezing her eyes shut. "I am sorry, Professor Skywalker, I did not mean to disturb you," she said quickly.

Re: Whirlpool

[sith_happened]

There was a voice. A loud, loud voice...

Anakin cracked open one eye. "Hello, Raven," he said. "You didn't disturb me."

Re: Whirlpool

[trigons_child]

Raven would've likely promptly fled were it not for the suffering she sensed. She could hardly turn her back on that -- except she couldn't exactly turn around, either. Dilemma!

"You are not feeling well," she noted. "Can I help you?" Your hangover, give it to her.

Re: Whirlpool

[sith_happened]

Anakin was sorely tempted.

"Yes," he finally decided. After all, the tequila had been self-medication for the terrible, terrible writing, and it hadn't really worked.

"And thank you."

Re: Whirlpool

[trigons_child]

Raven could totally write much better stories about how the Brave Jedi Knight was Grievously Injured and had to be carefully nursed back to health by a Beautiful Young Damsel. She'd leave the Master/Padawan games to the experts.

Now, how to manage this without actually looking at him?

She cracked her eyes open, enough to make certain she didn't stumble and end up falling in herself, and crouched down, keeping her gaze on his face and nowhere else. "Were you drinking last night?" she asked, not judging -- she'd never judge Anakin -- as she offered him her hand. She'd healed enough hangovers to recognize the feel of them.

Re: Whirlpool

[sith_happened]

A lot.

"A bit," he admitted. "Rory and I went out with Leia and Jaina and caught up."
