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!))

*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*

Kara

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

-Isaac

*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*

-Leonard

*he walks down the street, holding Eponine's hand, bundled up tight with a hat and gloves*

S-seriously, why is it so cold?

-Peeta

*is lost in Chinatown, wonders where she took a wrong turn, or if perhaps she really has woken up in china. stranger things have happened recently*

Where is Xander...*she mutters to herself, they were supposed to have these adventures together, not her be lost, alone, in some weird place*

*she tries to speak to someone and they answer her in whatever their native language is*

And why does no one around here speak English?

Now this is more like it.

*she walks into a bar and takes a seat, ordering a drink, it was a nice relief to even see one after seeing all the theatres and ads for ballets and the like*

*she gives a smile to the person who comes in and sits next to her*

~Faith

*is doing some last minute shopping for Christmas, she's looking at baby clothes, to give to Kate and Richard, even if they decide not to have a shower*

~Lanie

*he's exploring the children's museum with Harrison, Harrison starts to wave and approach someone else there and he gives them a small smile*

~Dexter

*walks through the aquarium, watching the fish swim as she is considering what else to get Rory for Christmas, even though he said that she didn't need to get him anything other than the baby that was on the way*

*she smiles as she stops in front of the tank with someone else*

Well, hello there.

~Amy

*is enjoying a walk through the Gardens, because this is most like the world she's from, it's not hectic, and lit up without candles, and things moving without humans or horses to move them*

*she doesn't immediately acknowledge the other person approaching her*

~Daenerys

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

*walks into the JFK museum because it was closest to her hotel and she needed to kill some time. She notices someone staring at her and turns to look, waving at them*

~Cassandra

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

I don't want to be here! *he yells as he storms out of the hotel room, slamming the door behind him*

*he storms down the hallway, to the lobby, and then out the doors, shivering slightly when he realizes how cold it is and that he didn't grab his coat, is not going to go back in right now, so shoves his hands deep into his pockets and continues walking down the street*

~Jake

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

*moves into the night club and positions herself at the bar to have a drink or two before heading out onto the dancefloor*

*when someone offers to buy her drink, she shakes her head, giving them barely a glance from of the corner of her eye*

That's really not necessary.

~Quinn

*she's feels like she's naked without all of her weapons. She has one knife hidden in her boot still though, and patrick, her golden retreiver by her side as she walks through the park*

So, if you can't be in New York for Christmas, then I guess Boston is the next best place. They don't have Rockafella Center, or Times Square, or the Statue of Liberty. But I'm sure you can find something to do to amuse yourselves.

It looks like quite a few people already have.

Hapless ((Stiles)) and Hazardous ((Kara)) in Boston have managed to spill all kinds of junk food over the floor. Hazardous claims to be from Sweden. But from one secret keeper to another. I think its more than that. Much more. After all, who doesn't know how to open a bag of Cheetos. On the Upper East Side, we may never deign to eat them, but we'd still know how.

The Lone Pup ((Isaac)) seems to have a new friend, a new friend he's supposed to be telling about his sweetheart, but if you ask me, this Lone Pup seems a little confused. Maybe sometimes a chance meeting in a coffee shop is just that. And sometimes its a coffee date.

This is apparently Peeta's first Christmas. Welcome to the celebration of good friends and good enemies. While we keep one close and the other closer, don't forget presents, and the sinking dread of uncertainty, that that watch you got, actually means you're being held closer instead of close.

Puckerman the second ((Jake)) doesn't seemed pleased about being stuck in Boston with his family for the holiday. You and me both. But how do you think he'll feel when he finds out Puckerman the first ((Noah)) is here. Something tells me that Jake is a little like The Hulk, you wouldn't like him when he's angry...and he's always angry.

You know you love me,
XOXO

*takes a deep breath of fresh air as she watches Gage look at the people skating on the ice*

Mommy, can we do that?

*bites her bottom lip*

I don't know sweetheart, I don't know how.

~Fleur and Gage

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

*glances around her, realizing she's in the Muggle world again with a grin*

Oh, isn't this lovely.

~Luna

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

*looks over to Crina*

What do you say? Wanna go check out the children's museum?

~Brooke

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

Boston. *practically crows it, feels good to be this far from Fox River, from the past, to know that he's basically gotten lost in the crowd*

Well, I never would have believed it.

~Theodore

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

Right. Okay. *tried to convince herself that she wasn't that far from home and that going ice skating wasn't completely ridiculous when she had other things to do*

*as she began to skate, someone caught up to her, falling into stride with her, she gave them a can I help you look before going back to ignoring them*

~Fiona

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

*gives a deep throaty laugh as he finds himself in a place totally different from where he's used to being*

*sometimes, when he forgets to take his medicine, he gets confused*
