European Train Ride Week

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

Lets see if I can get it right this time.

Sorry this is so late. Ended up in the hospital this afternoon. This will be a low key week because I don't have it in me for a lot of activities at the moment.



Welcome to The Ebbsfleet International Railway Station located to the east of London. From here, you will be catching the Eurostar train to Paris. Make sure you have your Eurail train pass handy. This is the pass that will allow you to travel throughout europe. If you lose this, you may have to buy a new ticket or remain where you are while the rest of us go on.


Feel free to have a look around the station. The train will be here shortly. As soon as it arrives, you can find your seat and then wander around and get to know your fellow travelers.

Day 2: Welcome to Paris. Feel free to wander around and enjoy the sites.

Check out these attractions: Attractions

If you just want to find a hotel, here are recommendations: Hotels

Day 3: Welcome to Amsterdam. There are sites to see for everyone. Check out the canals. Eat in one of the many fine restaurants. Or if you are into more risqué fun, check out the Red Light District. Here.

We'll be heading for Berlin in the morning.

Day 5:
Today we've arrived in Venice. Venice is really a collection of small islands connected by canals. Venice is the perfect city for couples. If you want to stay around, you can catch the Venice Carnival that begins the end of January. For now, you can take a romantic or relaxing Gondola ride. You can take a tour of the city by boat. You can crash in one of the many luxury hotels. There are museums, amazing architecture, or opera houses. If nightlife is your thing, there are jazz clubs, coffee houses, and pubs to enjoy.

Day 7: And our trip this week ends in Budapest. Stay as long as you like and enjoy your trip home.

*a tiny brunette woman pulls her suitcase behind her as she talks on her cell phone*

"Yes, Cassie, I'm right here waiting for the train. ... I promise I'm going to get on it. ... Yes, I've turned my pager off and the General doesn't have this number. ... I'll see you next week. ... I love you, too. Bye."

*shakes her head and laughs as she hangs up*

*grins to himself as he impulsively pulls out his phone and texts someone he hasn't seen in too long*

To: Anya
Msg: Dinner. Tonight. Say yes.

-Warren

*sees the message and raises an eyebrow*

To: Warren
Msg: Yes.

- Anya

((I should probably go redo her bio. Mention that she's being slightly restarted. At least, her romantic relationships are being wiped out for the purposes of here... though not her friendship with Warren. ;D))

*has her phone lifted to her ear, speaking into it in a heated manner*

This is such fucking bullshit Lip. I'm coming to bring you home. And you're gonna go back to god damn school and your gonna get your diploma. This is not up for discussion. I can't believe you would do this to those kids. *or to her, this rebellion was getting tired*

*hangs up phone, checking for her passport for the thousandth time, pissed that her brother was making her cut into the squirrel fund to go on a hunt for him, even more pissed that she had to leave the kids with Steve and V and Kev to do it*

As he walked up the platform he overheard the end of a heated conversation that caught his attention. But what kept his interested was the beautiful girl having said conversation. He wasn't usually a nosy, but there was something about her that he couldn't ignore.

He watched as she made her way onto the the train. He made sure he had his passport and phone before running his hand through his hair to tame it and following her on the train. He walked up to where she was sitting alone, "Is this seat taken?" he asked with a charming smile on his face.

-drives her car down the European highway, she cant believed she was DUMPED by the guy she thought was the one for her-

Maybe this fucking trip will make her feel better.

-suddenly sees a guy in the street, she slams on the brakes.-

Son of a bitch.

-she turns off the engine. She steps out of the car-

YOU IDIOT I COULD HAVE CRASHED MY CAR.

-Katniss

-Killian didn't know how he got here. All he knew was that this was a damper in his revenge plans-

"Well,certainly not in Neverland anymore."

-he turned around suddenly as two lights come near him and slam along the breaks,he raised his foot and placed it on the bumper as it stopped. Odd looking device.-

"You could have but yet,you're still living and so am I. Tell me,what is this device? Is this a ship disguised to run on water? In which case,I'm here to tell you,I'm taking it."

- Killian

-sees a girl sitting alone by the window and he points to the empty seat next to her-

Mind if I sit here?

It amazes me this sport is still around.

*Brittany skips back over to Santana after having gotten them so drinks, she holds one out to her friend*

So, what do you think? You excited to leave London and head for Paris?

~Brittany

[dannni444.livejournal.com]

*Santana smiles when she sees Brittany skipping back her way. She grabs the drink when it is offered to her*

Thanks, Britt Britt. As wonderful as London has been, I can't wait to be in the most romantic city in the world with you. Are you excited? Is there anything you have been dying to do while you are there?

~Santana

*takes a seat on the train, holding up a magazine as if he's reading it*

*glances around surreptitiously, knowing he's supposed to meet a contact, but with no idea who it is*

-Steve

[thewonderkitten.livejournal.com]

*wanders through the Paris train station, feeling and looking completely out of place -- not sure where to go, what any of the signs say, or what to do with herself*

*moves with the crowd, but begins to get overwhelmed by it, losing her handle on her superhearing and quickly getting overstimulated by the deafening chatter of the crowd surrounding her*

*clutches at her head, pained, then abruptly bursts forward through the crowd, knocking people to the side and running until she makes it through the door and onto the sidewalk, sitting down next to the building as she works to even her breathing, head in her hands*

*in Kryptonian:*

This was a bad idea.

Kara

*watches as you burst through the crowd*

*notices that you seem obviously upset*

*should probably worry more about her mission, but chooses to walk up to you instead*

Are you okay? Do you need any help?

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

This isn't even the biggest thing in the world. *nods*

- Roy, who has an Irish accent

I'll never understand how the human race can send a man into another galaxy, but can't come up with a comfortable form of public transportation.

-Rodney

[hanorganaas.livejournal.com]

*sits in her seat dressed like a modern day Audrey Hepburn, chatting away on her cellphone while the person seated next to her - Elijah, who I'll be posting next - rolls his eyes*

*into the phone* I told Ray, like, you hurt my feelings and I get to be mad at you if that's how I feel, and then it all went, like, drama, but it's, like, I am woman hear me roar.

*nods as she listens to whoever she's talking to*

And that's why I'm taking this trip and it was, like, so nice of Elijah to ask.

*Elijah mouths, 'I didn't ask.'*

Right. Right. Okay. *hangs up the phone*

- Elijah

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

[hanorganaas.livejournal.com]

-Lucrezia

[hanorganaas.livejournal.com]

-walks down the foggy London Streets with his hands in his pockets-

-he still cannot get used to this world...nor could he fathom the fact by now all his friends are dead.-

-he passes by the tower of London and makes a deep sigh-

I don't know if it makes it better or worse.

-Thomas

[emy191989.livejournal.com]

-Elizabeth stared up at the town of london,everytime she looked at it,she felt a sort of somber feeling come over her. It wasn't really easy...thinking how many people suffered there and then she remembered seeing so many things in her life.-

-she rubs her arms,trying to keep warm from the cold,she hears a voice behind her,she turns around and smiles somberly.-

Looking at it makes it worse,I think. I can't imagine how any have suffered in there.

[meredith44]

((Would you be potentially interested in doing a thread with Nikita and Gaila? Whether or not we have them as having interacted before, as I know you reset Gaila and I kinda/mostly reset Nikita? If not, that's totally fine. I just thought I'd check, as I brought Nikita to this post, as Paris is her home base and I like RPing with you. :) ))

Re: At a cafe in Paris

*steps up to the chair across from her, in his ever-present leather jacket, and rests a hand on the chair back as he grins*

Is this seat taken?
