boston week: part one!

[thewonderkitten.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Boston, Massachusetts! We hope you've found your accommodations to your liking. It's Christmas week, so the streets are bustling along nicely, the trees are up, and decorations line Faneuil Hall. No snow just yet, but we hope you like the 30°F weather! (Might want to bundle up.)

Even around this time of year, there's much to be done in the city -- take a gander at some of the potential attractions on your brochure and get out there to go enjoy the sights!

((Host note: I'm starting the week off easy with a general RP, but come Wednesday, expect a new post with -- gasp -- tasks! Unfortunately, I just won't be a stable enough presence to maintain what I have planned until then. So for now, get settled in and have fun!

Feel free to go all around the city -- I've outlined/summarized some key areas to hit up in the list up there. If you're stumped on somewhere to go, hit up the mod thread and I'll make sure to point you in the right direction!))

*does not catch a word of that, but thinks he looks friendly enough, so smiles back a little confusedly*

*in a completely foreign accent:*

Hi!

*takes a look at what he's holding, and matches it, picking up a bag of cheetos* *upon inspection of the bag, goes to open it to check out its contents* *completely misjudges the strength of the bag and tugs, resulting in the bag exploding in the aisle*

*pauses to look baffled, then picks up a cheeto from one of the shelves and tries it*

*laughs* What do you think?

*makes a face as he remembers her accent* Are you from a foreign country? Mexico? Italy? Australia?

*can rather cobble together the meaning of what he's trying to communicate, but isn't entirely equipped with the right responses yet*

Yes. *affirmative, meaning "it's good"*

*pause, trying to remember the name of the nationality Siobhan quipped once* Swedish. *gesturing to herself* Kara.

Kara

((Kara is an alien being taught English by a Scot. :P She sounds anything but Swedish, FTR, though Stiles may/may not know that, LOL.))

*tilts head at her, but shrugs, accepting her explanation* Is American that different from Switzerland? Or is it Sweden? Do they speak the same language? What language do you speak? Oh! And I'm Stiles.

*pause, most of that going over her head*

...

Swedish.

*gratefully when she recognizes the sound of an introduction:*

Stiles. Hi.

*laughs* Right. Okay. From Sweden.

Hi. What are you doing here? In America, I mean. But like, Boston too.
