Frontenac Suite; Wednesday Evening [10/23].

[somethingwithturquoise]

The suite that Summer and Stark had been given had boasted being "spacious and perfect for entertaining," and so now Summer was putting that claim to the test with her traditional School Trip Wednesday Night Room Party. Texts had been sent out to remind people of the party or to inform them if it was their first trip (with a caveat that if you were underage, Gladio Amicitia will kick you out, but that was mostly just a formality because, here in Quebec, the drinking age was 18, and she was pretty sure even their youngest students were at least that age now, but, either way, she was covering her bases for resposible chaperone behavior!), and then a good portion of her day was spent getting the jello shots ready, setting up snacks, getting other alternate drinks, and then utilizing this 'perfect for entertaining' space to its full advantage.

And, of course, all the shots were locally inspired and, when possible, locally sourced. You had
Maple Bourbon Cider, Maple Almond, a little French Martini, Honeysuckle Mimosas enchanced with local honeysuckle berries, an Ultimate Caeser, some flag representation, and, of course, the poutine jello shot.

(For which, oddly enough!, there were no recipes to link. Rude!)

The cooler was also filled with bottles of water, Canada Dry, and Puppers and other local brews, and there was a good selection of other booze if you wanted to mix your own drink (especially if you were pouring some of that Gus N Bru).

And the snacks? Of course you have your ketchup chips and all-dressed and dill picklers, and other varieties of moddable party food, but you really don't want to miss the poutine punchbowl.

So come on in! It was Wednesday night! There was a playlist pumping that had only Canadian artists on it (with an emphasis on ones from Quebec, but not exclusively because come on). Time for a mid-week classic room party!

[[ open party is open and flying OCD-free! Swing by, enjoy the party and free booze and snacks and please don't mind if I disappear due to being eaten by work! ]]

She would never tell.

"Jon. Darling. It's a service that you pay for. It will be whatever you want it to be. Honestly, if you just go once a week for a hot stone massage, that's still miles better than what you're doing now."

And, Jon. Look Liliana in the eye and tell her you couldn't do with more relaxation in your life.

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Relaxation was for people who weren't monsters! People who deserved it!

"I suppose. That is...that is a point."

Please, talk about something other than him! "So, um. I don't suppose you went to the crypt two days in a row."

[deathsmajesty]

Darling, Liliana was a monster and she deserved it!

"I didn't," she said. "Yesterday was devoted to staying in the hotel and being pampered--" deservedly "--and today we went on the island culinary tour. Did you happen to visit?"

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"Er...no, I went to watch the whales. It seemed peaceful and fun. Even if it was cold."

[deathsmajesty]

Yeah, Liliana didn't get out of bed (or, more specifically, go into the cold) for anything smaller than a kraken. You wanted her to come look at you, whales? Get good.

...Besides, the ocean was far too much of a temptation and she was being very good.

"I heard you did go on the Onhwa' Lumia the other night, though!" she said. "That was lovely, no?"

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Jon perked up a bit. "Oh, it was! Lovely, and informative - I learned so much, and it was beautiful! I had a, um. Well, a little bit of vertigo a couple times, but I really enjoyed it for the most part."

[deathsmajesty]

"Ignis and I went on Monday," Liliana said. "I do quite enjoy hearing the myths and stories of other cultures. It's the best way to learn about them. Some truths are too big to be told except wrapped in lies. We both thought it was an excellent presentation. Vertigo?"

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"Oh. Um. One of my...my things," Jon said, shrugging it off. "When I couldn't see the ground well enough. But it's easier to get past than a lot of what I've dealt with. And the show was really good. You enjoyed it as well, I assume."

[deathsmajesty]

"Ahhh," Liliana said, understanding enough to know that it was probably best not to prod at that too deeply. "And we did. We went to the restaurant that's attached to the hotel and got to enjoy some First Nations cuisine and then headed out for the show. A lovely pairing, I wonder if the school has that planned as one of their sponsored events."

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"They should; it's entertaining and instructional," Jon said. "But then I'd have to find something else to do that night."

Probably just sit in his room and read.

In the fluffy robe. Look, he really liked that robe.
