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!))

Ha. I'm actually in Boston right now. And everyone I know is really disapointed about the lack of snow. What's the use of it being this cold if we aren't going to get snow?

Apparently we've got a chance of some flurries Christmas morning? That'd be nice!

I'm taking the train to New York Christmas morning for 6 days, so I actually hope it isn't too bad that day. I'm visiting my sister, and I really don't want my train to be cancelled.

*wearing civvies Siobhan gave her, walks into a convenience store, furrowing her brows against the noise*

*finds a refrigerator of drinks and opens it, gently tracing her hand over the bottles before picking one at random, unable to read the labels*

*unscrews the cap, takes a hesitant sip, then spits it out, startled by the carbonation*

*puts it back, then grabs a different bottle, retreating from the fridge and down the aisle as if it had deliberately offended her*

((Heads up: Kara speaks very little English and has equally little knowledge of Earth customs/manners. Have fun! :P))

*is stocking up on junk food and has his arms full of chips and soda* *smiles at the girl walking down the aisle next to him*

I always wondered why they were called cheetos. Like, they're cheesy. Shouldn't they be called cheesos?

This sounds like so much fun! I'm sad that I can't really participate. :(

Thank you!

We leave Friday. I feel... overwhelmed.

Definitely good advice. I'm about to eat a snack right now before getting back to throwing trash away. I didn't realize I had so much trash everywhere! :P

Anyone and everyone. I'll have Cap and some X-Men here if that helps any. :P

*smiles happily to herself as she walks down the street, hands in her pockets*

Now this is a little closer to what winter should feel like.

Awww, bummer! If it's any consolation, I fully expect a rather quiet week out of this, given the holiday.

*squish*

Good luck with the move! I hope all goes well.

Bring everyone (whose voices you feel you've got on hand, anyway) and see who replies? :P That's my gameplan, anyway. I know, it's foolproof.

*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*

Kara

*sits at a table outside a coffee shop on Newbury Street, nursing a cup of black coffee with a newspaper spread out before him, dressed for the cold but not appearing altogether bothered by it*

*idly scratches down answers to the crossword, having finished reading the rest, keeping half an eye on his watch and another half on the street*

*laughs* What do you think?

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

Nice scarf... you must be freezing, California-boy.

*grins*

*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.))
