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.

*nods, pressing her lips to his again, harder this time*

*makes a soft sound into the kiss, which is lost in the sound of the wind rushing past them*

-Warren

*kisses him slowly, unwilling to pull away until he does*

- Anya

*finally stops kissing her, because it's either that or fly into something*

*laughs softly*

You're... distracting.

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*grins* I like to be. Though I think I should probably save it for a less dangerous time.

- Anya

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Maybe until we're on the plane, at least.

*grins*

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

And how far away from this plane are we?

- Anya

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Impatient? I love that in a woman.

*squeezes her a bit tighter for a moment*

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I was enjoying being distracting. *winks*

- Anya

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Just don't make us crash.

*laughs*

*finally sets down on the tarmac beside his private plane, which is ready to go, stairs down and waiting for them*

We're going a little further than I can fly on my own, by the way.

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Are you sure I didn't pack too light?

- Anya

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

It doesn't matter. You'll be able to get anything you want, where we're going. And I fully intend to completely spoil you. I mean, that's the point of being a billionaire, right?

*gestures her up the stairs, where an honest-to-god suited butler is waiting to greet them and take their coats*

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*shakes her head, smacking his arm playfully*

I'm still getting used to this whole "billionaire" thing.

*walks up the stairs slowly, just taking it all in, and handing over her coat, dress, and shoes*

So where is this plane taking us?

- Anya

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

((dress?))

Well... I was thinking Paris, but if you've got an idea, flight plans are easily changeable.

*works his way out of the special coat with help from the Butler until he's in just his shirtsleeves*

How can I help you get used to the billionaire thing? Buy you an island or something?

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

((He told her to bring a dress and shoes to change into later way early on in the thread, so she did.))

Paris sounds perfect, but no need to spend any money on a special Anya island just yet.

- Anya

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Come, sit with me, do you want a drink?

*sits on the long black leather couch that runs down one side of the cabin*

Maybe after Paris, you can come visit -my- island, see how you like it. Before you take that big jump into being queen of your own floating realm.

*grins up at her, patting his lap even though there's plenty of room on the couch*

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*grins at him, crossing over to the couch and straddling him*

Where is this island you own? Caribbean?

- Anya

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Nice little corner of the Bahamas. *grins* My parents bought it... My mother loved warmer climates. The one I bought myself is... A little less hospitable maybe, but I love it more, there's sort of a connection there. You might know the area, actually.

*looks thoughtful for a moment, then grins to deflect the seriousness*

What you really need to see is my winter place. Top of a mesa in the middle of the desert, only accessible by air. The construction company hated that.

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*wants to ask more about the island, but notices the serious look and decides to let him deflect for now*

Do I want to know how many homes you own? I've only ever had one at a time. *smiles* It's all I've needed.

- Anya

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Six. *grins almost sheepishly* New York, Arizona, San Francisco, the Bahamas, Scotland, and the traditional Worthington place.

It's nothing to do with need, I guess. I mean, WI has offices in New York and San Francisco, so that was sort of the reasoning there. But all in all, I guess I probably like spending money and having things more than I should. I mean, there's very little of it that i'm attached to, I never mind giving things away, but...

*gives a little shrug, hands caressing her waist*

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*kisses his cheek softly* I feel like... if I had that kind of money, I'd spend it partly because having it would make me uncomfortable. I'd rather get rid of it however I could.

But I keep making more! I just try to keep using it well. I mean, I spoil myself. But I also fund a school... For kids like me. To take classes and learn how to use their powers. Plus, I sort of... fund the X-Men, really, actually.

-Warren

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

That's a valuable thing. I don't know many X-Men, but I've been getting to know the superheros I work with and... I have a lot of respect for them. And for you. And for the kids you are helping.

*murmurs* I just wish my work in the lab were more productive. It's nice of them to keep me around while I'm struggling.

If there's anything SI knows, it's that research takes time. There have been years where Hank -- the Beast, that is -- hasn't really turned out results. But he never stops. And he's made discoveries that have changed the world.

-Warren

Right before I ended up here, I helped create a vaccine for the virus that wiped out my world. I'm trying to replicate it, but the only source I have for the virus is Al. He came through after me... He was the one we tested the vaccine on.
