Spa at the Monastery [St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, Tuesday Evening]

[nookiepowered]

Someday, there would be a clear evening in St. John's. Today was not that day - or that night. (Spoiler: tomorrow might be.) The rain was light, though, the temperature in the mid-40's for you Fahrenheit-speaking heathens, and around 7°C for normal people.

There were plenty of indoor entertainment options, though, for the normal and the not-so, and if you'd packed a jacket and umbrella, the walk to various night-spots wouldn't be uncomfortable at all. If you didn't pack an umbrella, you could always buy one! Or stand under someone else's...ella... ella... ella.

Spa at the Monastery - Rooms [10/11 evening]

[nookiepowered]

Welcome to the Spa at the Monastery! Rooms come fitted with fireplace, bathroom, spa robe, a king-sized bed or two double beds, and an air-massage tub right in your bedroom. Enjoy.

[[ Please create your own subthread with your room number in the thread subject line. If you're going to go NWS, please use your personal journal but feel free to link back to a thread here. And in case anyone is going OCD with us, odd numbered rooms on the left, even numbers on the right! ]]

Room 2

[dollpocalypse]

Topher had not left his room all day. Partly out of fear of Ramona, partly out of a strong desire to beat his current level of the zombie-killing game he was playing, partly out of a lack of interest in doing anything resembling work, and most importantly, because he just didn't have to.

So. That was where things stood with him this evening.

If any mean peer-pressurers friends happened to stop by, they would probably not be surprised to notice that he (as usual) had a huge freaking bruise on his face. See above re: Ramona fear.

Sorry, Topher. Ben and Tony were feeling weirdly social tonight.

Ben banged on the door. "Tooooopher. What are you doing?"

Re: Room 2

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

And Topher was around, so...

Sorry, Topher?

"Don't say you're not in there," Tony added. "Ben has weird powers to know these things."

Re: Room 2

[dollpocalypse]

"Come in," Topher called, then groaned as a couple of zombies in his game launched an attack on him. The game got weirdly cannibalistic and gross at those points, so he closed the laptop and set it aside.

It was unfortunate that Ben and Tony might have to wade through clothes and bags of junk food to even get to him. Not to mention the fact that the tub was currently filled with wires.

Re: Room 2

[momslilassassin]

"Wow," Ben said, looking around the room. "It takes some skill to get a place this messy in a little over 24 hours."

So he and Ender had possibly the most anal-retentive bedroom on the planet. Shhh.

Room 29

After the earlier trauma at the hairdresser, Susan decided she wanted to stay in tonight. And tonight 'staying in' mean 'standing in front of the mirror and test her hair.'

She'd been trying to manage a ponytail for a while now, which was an effort even on a good day, but she finally managed it. As soon as it was secured in a tie, she dropped her arms-

And immediately her hair began rearranging itself back to its original state.

"Come on," Susan admonished it in the mirror. "You're attached to my head, you should do as I say!"

She wasn't crazy, she swore it. Her hair, on the other hand...

Spa at the Monastery - The Abbey Restaurant [10/11 evening]

[nookiepowered]

No Thanksgiving feast tonight, but the Abbey is ready to serve the full range of their regular offerings, including seafood, steak, chicken, pasta, and fire-grilled pizza, in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere.

The Spa itself isn't just available in the daytime! You can have yourself a soak, get a massage or work out until nine in the evening. Maybe a little later if you smile pretty for the masseur. Just saying.

After spending the morning building houses, Cara made her way to the spa for a massage. As long a one as she could get.

Re: Spa at the Monastery - The Spa [10/11 evening]

[momslilassassin]

This was going to be a really terrible idea.

Ben, Topher and Tony approached the spa's front desk. "Hi," Ben said nervously. "He'd--" sorry, Topher, how do you like it under that bus, "like to get his chest waxed."

Re: Spa at the Monastery - The Spa [10/11 evening]

[dollpocalypse]

"And you!" Topher reminded Ben. "Also, he'd like his legs waxed," he added, nodding toward Tony.

Just so everyone was on the same page.

Re: Spa at the Monastery - The Spa [10/11 evening]

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"And he," Tony added gleefully, pointing at Ben. "Might need some extra wax."

Re: Spa at the Monastery - The Spa [10/11 evening]

[momslilassassin]

Ben reminded himself that using his Force abilities to convince the spa person that the other two also wanted their heads shaved would be Wrong and Inappropriate.

"But we're starting with him," he said, pointing back at Topher. "Reverse alphabetical order by first name! Topher, Tony, Ben."

Spa at the Monastery - The Lobby [10/11 evening]

[nookiepowered]

You're also welcome to hang out in the lobby; a warm fireside experience is guaranteed. No promises re: tipsy blondes in mini-skirts.

Re: Spa at the Monastery - The Lobby [10/11 evening]

[new-it-girl.livejournal.com]

Hanna was blonde, but she wasn't wearing a mini-skirt. She wasn't even tipsy, but she almost wished she was. Instead, she was sipping hot chocolate by the fireplace, contemplating where she might want to go tonight.

Downtown St. John's [10/11 evening]

[nookiepowered]

George Street is still the place to be if you care to hit the pubs or clubs and catch some live music.

If you're looking to watch something a little more athletic than a bunch of Newfies lifting pints when it isn't their turn to play, the Festival of New Dance opens tonight at the Longshoremen's Protective Union Hall, featuring Governor General’s Award winner for Lifetime Achievement Margie Gillis, established local favorite Sarah Joy Stoker, and the exciting emerging choreography of Lynn Panting.

Bella Vista

Yesterday Annie and Rilla had decided that they should find where the dancing was. They were maybe not prepared for the clerk at the spa to direct them to a place where there was Latin dancing. Oops.

"Uh," Annie said when she saw the inside. "So this is... interesting?"

Re: Bella Vista

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

"Where are the rest of their clothes?" Rilla asked in a strangled voice.

Re: Bella Vista

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"I think at home," Annie said slowly. "If not still at the store, completely unbought..."

Re: Bella Vista

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

Rilla covered her eyes with one hand. "This isn't the kind of dancing I'm used to."

No kidding, Rilla.

St. John's Haunted Hike [10/11 evening]

[nookiepowered]

If you do feel like braving the weather, bring your jacket and umbrella ella...ella... to the Anglican Cathedral on Church Hill at 9:30 p.m. for the Ghosties and Ghoulies (and things what go bump in the night) tour, to hear creepy tales of local hauntings as you stroll past the haunted landmarks and buildings themselves.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Bruce wasn't one to waste magical AUs, so he was out checking the haunted hike tonight, watching for evidence of real ghosts.

Mainly because his general experience with real ghosts was that they tried to fight him. Okay, maybe one ghosts wasn't exactly a trend, but he was still batting 1.000 there.
