Spa at the Monastery [St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, Wednesday evening]

[sith_happened]

The clouds during the day had burned off by early evening, leading to a crisp, clear autumn night--43 degrees for the Americans, 5°C for those who spoke metric--perfect for sitting around a fire with a cup of something warm, or for a nice walk into town to see the pubs many cultural offerings being, um, offered.

Or there was always staying at the spa and getting something waxed...please go out, people.

Of course Puck had brought his weights. Of course he had.

And of course, before he could even dream of going anywhere tonight, he had to work a little. His arms didn't get this way by magic. The fact that there was a mirror so he could watch himself was bonus, as was the fact that he was sure he was impressing his girlfriend in the process. He was sure.

Quinn, who laid sprawled on the bed, was totally impressed, yep. That was exactly why she was going through the special Kardashian wedding edition of People and drawing mustaches on every shot of Kim.

"We should go someplace with music tonight," she announced, when she glanced up. "You know. Once you're done staring at your biceps."

She loved his biceps.

"Whatever, you're staring at the them too," he countered, even if he could see in the mirror that that wasn't necessarily true. "And sure, music's fun. Music and booze."

High priorities.

Spa at the Monastery - The Abbey Restaurant [10/12 evening]

[sith_happened]

The Abbey is serving the full range of offerings, including seafood, steak, chicken, pasta, and fire-grilled pizza, in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere until 9PM.

Dany had brought the dragons into the restaurant with her, and while she was garnering a few looks, she'd mostly hidden them while she was enjoying her steak. (And feeding them little bits of it under the table.)

Petra had pizza, which she looked super excited about. Also super excited about? Dany. "Hi, can I sit with you?" she asked. "Also I miss you so much, I hope you had better roommate luck than me."

The spa itself isn't just available in the daytime! You can have yourself a soak, get a massage (or a waxing, yes) or work out until nine in the evening.

Re: Spa at the Monastery - Spa [10/12 evening]

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara was soaking, yes. If she had enough time when she got out she might go for another massage, but for now she was one well-marinated Mord'Sith.

Spa at the Monastery - Lobby [10/12 evening]

[sith_happened]

You're also welcome to hang out in the lobby; a warm fireside experience is guaranteed, as well as quality people-watching if you enjoy seeing your classmates wander in and out.

Ramona was sitting by the fireplace, looking irritated. She'd removed her hood and just decided she'd deal with the brown hair, because at least she probably wasn't that recognizable? Maybe?

Re: Spa at the Monastery - Lobby [10/12 evening]

[forhisfriends.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe. Except to her roommate, the boy who tended to pay attention. Simon was walking through the lobby with the intention of maybe going out for a walk, but she caught his attention, so he stopped.

"... Ramona?"

Downtown St. John's [10/12 evening]

[sith_happened]

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

After a rough day of wandering around, eating and shopping, Seifer headed for the clubs.

Yep, this was just a hard vacation.

Re: Downtown St. John's [10/12 evening]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi grabbed Seifer's arm as she came up, her other arm linked with Toby's. "Hey, dude. We're going to get booze and muuuusic. Want to come along? Thought we'd start with Greensleeves." She looked over at Toby with a grin. "Oh, Seifer, Toby, Toby, Seifer."

Re: Downtown St. John's [10/12 evening]

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

Seifer looked over at Toby and frowned. "We'll have to pay extra to get him in."

Because Seifer was tough looking and cool, Kenzi was the hot chick. That meant Toby had to be the rich guy with money to spare. Kinda like Callen in that episode of NCIS:LA, only without a gun.

Re: Downtown St. John's - Duke of Duckworth Pub

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

So the thing about taking a vacation with a bunch of mainlanders (and not-from-this-world-ers) was that there was usually at least one who could be convinced to go through with a proper screech-in (http://www.cansomebodyhelpme.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?b=nfld_screechin,m=1152917712).

And Jake knew just the place for such a somber ceremony, as it happened. Strolling in to the Duke of Duckworth pub like he owned the place (because, well, as it happened he kind of did), he gestured for Tyrion to take a seat at one of the tables before going behind the bar to grab a bottle of the particular type of rum needed for this ceremony... and grab a codfish from the freezer.

"It's very simple, really," Jake informed Tyrion as he poured the rum into a shot glass.

[Jake's here for Tyrion, but if anyone else has the desire to kiss a fish and drink some ridiculously strong alcohol...]

Re: Downtown St. John's - Duke of Duckworth Pub

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

Tyrion was eying the cod with some distaste. The ceremony seemed a bit foolish, but he was going along with it due to the simple fact that he was unlikely to ever be asked to do anything similar again. (First an honest day's work, now getting drunk and kissing a fish. A universe away, Lord Tywin Lannister had no doubt fallen into a dead faint.)

He leaned into the table, reaching for the shot glass. "And what exactly am i doing this to prove, again?"

Not that he had any intention of backing out.

Newfoundland Soiree [10/12 evening]

[sith_happened]

If you're looking for something with a little more traditional colour, the school has arranged for "a scoff and a scuff": a Newfoundland soiree featuring traditional Newfoundland food and a showcase of the step dancing that has been part of the educational curriculum since 1806.

Hope Zoe doesn't learn about that last part.

Re: Newfoundland Soiree [10/12 evening]

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Bruce decided to attend the soiree, primarily for the step dancing.

He stuck around until fairly late, when - after avoiding the Royal Uncle Skipper - he approached the step dancers and hired them to teach him the basics.

Because you never knew when knowing how to step dance might come in handy.

St. John's Haunted Hike [10/12 evening]

[sith_happened]

Bring your jacket (and adorable toque, if you must) to the Anglican Cathedral on Church Hill at 9:30 p.m. for the Ghosties and Ghoulies tour, to hear creepy tales of local hauntings as you stroll past the haunted landmarks and buildings themselves.

Re: St. John's Haunted Hike [10/12 evening]

[ancientbschamp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Gabrielle not take the opportunity to learn new stories? Never going to happen.

She wasn't all that bundled up; she'd parted with a few precious dinars out of necessity, and bought an ankle-length wool coat that she'd worn over her usual ridiculously tiny top and short skirt. ("Necessity" in this case meant more "not getting stared at" than "staying warm," since she did actually have a warm cloak to wear; it was just out of place in the present day anywhere outside of Fandom.)

She'd also managed to acquire a fake Moleskine notebook that fit in the coat pocket, just so she could scribble down notes on the ghost stories she heard as soon as she got a chance to do so. (Yes, she had a pencil. She'd already discovered that she and ballpoint pens didn't get along, thanks to her habit of chewing on the end of her writing implements. That had been a tasty learning experience.)

The shifting from foot to foot? That was bouncing with excitement, not trying to stay warm. Okay, a little bit of both.

Re: St. John's Haunted Hike [10/12 evening]

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

It wasn't so much that Annie wanted to hear ghost stories. She just could never go back to her room again, and so she would totally go out at 9:30 at night to hear scary things.

She did bring her adorable jacket, though.
