Vacation, Had To Get Away!

The Hotel Meme

Sometimes, you just need a break-- even from your vacation-- because, face it, running around on the beach, at that theme park, or in that city in a strange land can get tiring. Sometimes, you just want to laze around at the hotel... and, sometimes, you wonder why you want to leave a place that has everything you'd need? Room service, heated pools, jacuzzies, rec room, spa services, a fully stocked bar...

 

Hey, they've even got a giant, walk-in shower in your room-- and those awesome cookies! What's not to love!?

 

The Deets:

 

-Post your top levels with your character and your interests. You want it? The Hotel will have it for you, no questions asked. That is, unless you wanted a lion in your room-- they might charge a little extra for that!

 

-Tag around. Running around on the elevators with a drink in your hand, hitting every floor, and hassling the staff is awesome, but it's even more awesome if you've got a friend with you!

 

- Most importantly-- have fun!!

[ She sighs not his kiss, fingers reaching up to toy along his jaw. ]

You clean up pretty well yourself, Tiger.

[oldmancreed]

So I've been told.

[He kisses her again, a little harder, then pulls back,]

If we don't get out now, we'll never leave. Sitter's here.

[loistheintrepid]

[ She smirks, nipping at his lip before pulling away slightly and reaching for his hand. ]

Promise to grope me under the table at least?

[oldmancreed]

Constant footsie.

[He takes her hand and leads her out to the main room, where a young woman is waiting for them.]

[loistheintrepid]

Footsie? You HAVE gone soft.

[ She intertwines her fingers with his, greeting the babysitter and giving his hand a squeeze before letting a moment to give her instructions on the rest of the night. ]

[oldmancreed]

[He lets the women do the arranging, though he is listening to what's going on. It's his kid, too. After everything's settled he pulls Lois closer toward the door.]

Dinner's waiting.

[loistheintrepid]

[ She kisses Ellie goodbye, reclaiming his hand and following him out the door.

She takes a deep breath as they make their way to the elevator, glancing over at him. ]

We have a babysitter.

[oldmancreed]

We have an intelligent, caring woman who is being paid an incredible amount of money to ensure our child remains unharmed in our absence.

[It was worse than picking out a truck.]

After you.

[loistheintrepid]

[ She heads into the elevator, grinning and hitting the button for the lobby. ]

Plus the fact that we’re only a few floors away.

[oldmancreed]

I can make that in a minute.

[In truth, they'll be about 15 floors away, not that he's counting.]

She'll be fine.

[loistheintrepid]

[ She nods, trying to relax a little as she watches the floors tick down. After a moment, she chuckles to herself. ]

Remember the night we met?

[oldmancreed]

A that seemy, old bar?

[loistheintrepid]

I paid. You were a grouch.

[oldmancreed]

That's cause I didn't want to be there. On both counts.

[The elevator opens and he leads her toward the glitzy restaurant, the staff nodding their heads to them as they pass by to a secluded table.]

[loistheintrepid]

Then why’d you show up?

[ She glances around the restaurant, taking it in a moment as they make their way to the table. ]

[oldmancreed]

Curiosity.

[He holds her chair out for her and settles her in, before taking his own seat across from her.]

Besides, you're a nag.

[loistheintrepid]

Curiosity about what?

[ She rolls her eyes, taking her seat. ]

A nag you couldn’t help chasing.

[oldmancreed]

You, of course. You're nuts.

[loistheintrepid]

[ She laughs. ]

To be with you? Yeah, I must be.

[oldmancreed]

Nah, you were nuts to begin with.

[He's sure she remembers the river incident.]

[loistheintrepid]

Hey, now. Crazy attracts crazy.

[oldmancreed]

[He considers that for a moment, then orders himself a steak, rare.]

What's that say about our little girl upstairs?

[loistheintrepid]

[ She orders the salmon, sipping on her water while she thinks. ]

Oh, she’ll be crazy, too. Definitely.

[oldmancreed]

Great.

[loistheintrepid]

Face it. No baby of ours was ever gonna be normal.
