03 | In which a bookstore is invaded.

[strangewonders]

[Howl did not, as a general rule, enjoy 'roughing it,' and after one day spent surrounded by nature and sub-par plumbing had decreed a trip into town. Thankfully, there was a bookstore, and thus, it wasn't particularly hard to haul either of his brothers along for the ride. Who would rescue the poor staff from them, however, remained to be seen.]

Excuse me... I don't suppose you have any earlier editions of this?


[ooc: For Felix & Clow, and anyone else's bookstore needs]

[Hello there network, have a mildly upset Integra who has been combing though her cabin and the front hall for a good hour now.]

Has anybody seen my copy of Dracula?! I swear I had it yesterday!

[This VERY IMPORTANT TO THE SUPERNATURAL NERD you guys YOU MUST UNDERSTAND! Feel free to spot her around the lobby, Cabins, or stables in her search for her book.]

[Nora's sitting on the beach with her sketchbook drawing the sunset over the lake and thinking. After a while an idea strikes her. She picks up her journal with a smirk]

Hey we're supposed to be camping, right? Or something remotely similar?

Anyone want to hear a scary story?

[There's a lake. Where there's a lake there are frogs. Lots of frogs. Edward is currently trying to catch said frogs.

The problem is that they're faster than she expected. So, currently, she's hopping along behind one of them, trying desperately to catch the silly thing]

Ribbit ribbit hop hop!

[Good afternoon, cruise-goers! If you're lucky, you might see a young girl, clad in a pirate's uniform, climbing up the side of the ship, finding route to the highest point she can safely climb to, moving as swift as she can and hoping nobody spots her. At least, not until she wants to be seen. She has left a line of opened passenger rooms in her wake, hoping to stumble across a hoard of treasure, only to find a whole lot of nothing. What a disappointment.

And trust me, she'll be seen. She mumbles to herself a bit as she gets up, speaking to nobody in particular.]

Who puts shows on an ocean liner anymore in this day and age? Must be one of these theme cruises. Which means that anyone on board should be loaded. If that's what I was hired to do, though...

[She gets to the top and brandishes her sabre, waving it about and shouting as loud as she can, posing and trying to make herself look as intimidating as possible. Kind of hard when you're short and sixteen, but you make do. If it weren't for the fact she's so batshit insane, it'd actually be kind of cute.]

Greetings, denizens of this fine ship! I am Captain Marika Kato of the Betnenmaru, boarding you in order to take your valuables! I suggest you hand over what's closest to you and I'll see to it you dock safely.

However, if you don't pay up, I'm not responsible for what me or my crew or about to do to you!

[She looks around, unaware her crew is long gone, still striking her pose.]

...Whenever they get here. Trust me, you'll be sorry!

[ooc: Backdated to the first day of the cruise. Obviously, this post is only open to people on the cruise itself. Feel free to respond as you will, she's largely harmless, just hammy. If you want your room to have been snooped in or pilfered through, just say so, otherwise I'll assume she didn't get into their stuff.]

[Spike is hanging out not far from his family's cabin, heading towards the lake, smoking and reading his iJournal. He seems to be in a pretty cheery mood when his voice comes through. Maybe hanging around the family isn't such a bad way to spend a vacation.]

It's so quiet here, you almost forget it's a family reunion. I guess everyone really needed the vacation.

[...Speaking of which, where is that family?... It's around this time in his wandering that he realizes he's looking for someone in particular. Shouldn't be that hard to spot someone with hair that bright from a mile away.

But rather than mention it, he'll keep talking just in case he's listening.]

So did everyone break off and find a hotel yet? Or is there a bar I don't know about?


ooc: Open to whatever! Also this is the last day of Spike's loss, but he won't be dealing with the consequences until he after the family plot. :'

meanwhile in cabin stark(-snow)…

[ When Arya thinks everyone is asleep, she slips out of her bed. She shivers when her bare feet touch the cold floor, but she's happy for it. Between heat and cold, Arya is better accustomed to the cold.

Sensing her, Nymeria raises her head. Arya shushes her quietly. Barefoot and silent, she steals to where her little half-brother is. ]

Spike. Are you asleep?

[ Without really waiting for an answer, she slips in beside Spike, pushing him aside enough so she can fit. ]


(( anyone else in the cabin is welcome to tell them to please go the fuck to sleep—or try to sneak in and be foiled by the little ones :3 ))

family reunion day 3; dated to 7:00 PM

[Perhaps it's the hand of providence. Perhaps it's the unseen, unknown yet still present hand of an omniscient magical castle. Perhaps someone had a surplus left over from July 4th...

Whatever the reason, it seems like resort employees are compelled to deliver boxes of fireworks around for the enjoyment of families currently staying at the resort. For families to shoot off themselves! What could possibly be more fun than that? There are sparklers and rockets and pretty much anything fireworks-ey you can imagine, for the whole family to enjoy. For EVERYONE in the whole family to enjoy.

Do try not to burn down your cabin, as you'll be paying for it if you do! Aim rockets to go out over the lake. Otherwise, enjoy.]

[ action - backdated to afternoon ] Dance Like No One's Watching

[wishmadeinfire]

 [ Well, Ashura had promised his mother that he would perform for her, give her a sneak peek of sorts. And it would be rude of him not to keep a promise to his own mother. Of course, everyone knew what happened when you didn't keep your word to Amaterasu, so yes, best to swallow whatever it was she wanted you to do and just do it. 

So he told his mother where to meet and drag whatever family members she wanted along and found himself a nice clear spot. He was dressed in black pants, but no top, as per his costume. His hair was up high in a messy bun and he'd put in a few red feathers for show. He warmed up for a good five minutes and then took up position to start.]

Well, this is a piece from my company's upcoming production of The Firebird. I play the Firebird, so, I hope you enjoy.

[The dance itself was a mix of contemporary and jazz. While he was classically trained, to be a competent dancer in more modern companies one had to know several disciplines. Oh, and yes, there was a mini stereo with an ipod running on batteries near by, playing his music as he went through the piece, treating it like a real performance on a real stage. 

And oh did it feel good.]

[ooc: the dance is from the 'hummingbird' routine from So You Think You Can Dance season 3, and the music in the background is the Chairman's Dance from Memoirs of a Geisha. Look to the male (Hok) for an idea of how Ashura is dancing]

[Carolina barely opens her journal before she launches into her spiel. Her voice is much brighter than her usual militaristic tone.]

I'm planning to head out hiking this afternoon with anyone interested to learn a little about the relative wild. We'll be back in time for dinner and showing off anything we found out in the woods.

Who's in?
