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!))

*jogs along behind her, shrugging off his hat and scarf when they get inside*

It's a good thing we don't run together - you would beat me every time.

*smiles at her as they go to wait in line*

*smiles and puts on a fake shocked face*

What? I would never! I would never run slower to let my beautiful, amazing girlfriend beat me to the coffee shop.

*laughs as he nudges her back gently*

Yeah, unless you want something else. Do you want one to share or two small hot chocolates?

*rests a hand on her lower back as he looks too*

We can come back? Or we can get something sweet somewhere else.

*he orders them two small hot chocolates and they go over to take a seat as they wait*

So...what else do people do for Christmas? Anything we should do to make it...good?

*smiles wide*

So I get to give you the presents I got you tomorrow? Good. I've been excited about giving them to you since I got them.

Oh! We can call our friends. With the phone! And we can find a very nice restaurant to eat at, one with lights and music and everything.

*smiles brightly*

You got me a present? I'm sure I'll love it. You know me so well.

*hears his name and goes up to get their hot chocolates, setting one in front of her when he sits back down*

I hope I hid your presents in our stuff well enough...you didn't see them, did you?

-Peeta

*smiles back at her, wondering*

Oh? Would I...know it was a present for me if I saw it?

*smiles wide, licking his lips before he takes a sip of his drink*

When do people usually open their gifts? As soon as possible, I hope. Maybe the night before Christmas?

-Peeta

[http://users.livejournal.com/_eyesofpride_/]

I'm kidding. We can open them whenever you would like.

*nods slowly, then quicker*

Yeah, yeah, of course we can. Everyone goes to church on Christmas, right?

-Peeta

[http://users.livejournal.com/_eyesofpride_/]

We can open them whenever. I want to do what you do, since you know.

Oh, no, I think we should go. I think...it's important to you, right? And I want to go with you. What happens at church on Christmas?

-Peeta

*smiles and nods*

That sounds really nice. And we can stay in our pajamas and everything.

*sips his drink as he listens, chuckling a little*

Knees...my knees aren't so good like that for long periods of time. But what's communion?

-Peeta

*bites his lips and nods, reaching out to hold her hand*

I'm sorry. I know talking about this stuff with me is...difficult. I really just want to learn and understand, you know?

*holds her hand tighter*

Do you want to go now? We can walk and talk?

-Peeta

*stands up still holding her hand as they make their way to the door*

Oh! The restaurant.

*he rushes back to the counter to ask the barista if there are any good Mexican restaurants nearby*

*the barista asks if he wants authentic Mexican or main stream Mexican, to which he looks confused but then says authentic*

*the barista says there's a nice restaurant two streets over and not to be too concerned about it's appearance*

*he thanks the barista and comes back to her*

Uhh...he said there's one two streets over.
