You can check out anytime you'd like.. [Hotel Corona Mingle]

Who: The Fleet!
Broadcast: If you want
Action: Hotel Corona or Planet Ikke
When: December 7th onward

a wheel-shaped space station


[After the mystery and isolation of their last destination, the Marsiva seems determined to head to brighter, busier territory. After a long journey through remote, nebula-painted space, speeding along at a brisk pace for the Host ship, the Marsiva brings her Fleet to a sudden and prominent point of traffic.

It seems that the Fleet has happened upon some sort of vacation destination! Maybe Atroma thinks that the passengers deserve some rest and relaxation... or just wants to distract them with something huge and shiny.

Welcome to Hotel Corona! Feel free to enjoy yourselves and enjoy the sites! If a hotel resort isn't your thing, you can head on over to the nearby planet and explore it's icy wonders.

In order words: it's a mingle!! Everyone get in! ]

It's an overexaggeration at best and painful to the eyes . . . but I'll take it for now.
exothermia: (Countin' down the hours)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-10 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Erik tilts his head back, shutting his eyes again.]

It does seem a bit more appropriate than mine.
axiomed: (I hope you feel the way I do)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-10 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
Most of that era was a blur, to be honest.
exothermia: (Gotta keep on running)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-10 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just snorts. He knows well enough why Charles might not remember much of the sixties.]
axiomed: (Lost for words repeating constantly)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
So it's all right. Though I hope no one gets blinded by the sheer amount of colours in there.
exothermia: (Big game today)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's a risk they'll just have to take, I suppose.

[Much like everyone has to hazard smelling of flowers forever after being in Erik's.]
axiomed: (My rebel my hope)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt many people would need to. There are plenty of decent rooms after all.
exothermia: (Oh damn. He's dead.)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Thousands of them... [He sighs, shaking his head at the absurdity of it.] I don't know if you've looked at the descriptions of the themed suites, but some of them I can't imagine anyone choosing deliberately.
axiomed: (You break like glass)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I've glanced at them.

[ But he hasn't given it much of his attention. ] I was more curious about its museum.
exothermia: (We are the fourth dimension)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
I've been in there a couple of times. It's an interesting place to visit.

[And, it has a quieter cafe, where he prefers to retreat when he needs the ambience of people around instead of solitude.]
axiomed: (Love is the common name)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so you've been there already?
exothermia: (Without a dream you're lost)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Erik nods, leaning forward a bit to rub at his neck.]

I've visited each of the areas on this ship. The museum, the beach, the shopping zone... and the red district. [He does sound faintly amused at the last one.] The museum is the most attractive.
axiomed: (By common sense)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm . . . impressed.

[ He really is. It seems Erik took the time to visit a lot of the places. Charles hasn't done that yet. ]
exothermia: ('Cause all will be okay; you'll see)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[It's habit; scoping out his surroundings. Getting the lay of the land. Even so, it's a departure from his habits in the last system, where it took him a good few days to dredge up the interest to even go outside. Erik looks away briefly, shrugging his shoulders.]

I wanted to know what was here.
axiomed: (Let me cross a very fine line)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Any particular reason?
exothermia: (Guilty guilty)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
There were some things I wanted to see if I could buy-- [It had been the last day of Hanukkah, and eventually he had bought the least star-sparkled candles he could find.] and then I just wanted to see it. It's been a long time since I've been in any kind of hotel... much less one like this.
axiomed: (They could talk all night)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's a long time for all of us.
exothermia: (You are who you were always meant to be)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles faintly.]

Maybe so. [He turns back to look at the sunset image.] Certainly none with this level of technology.
axiomed: (By the end of the day)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully, we'll be here for some time.
exothermia: (It's such a shame for us to part)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
With any luck, we might be.
axiomed: (Call me free today)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Charles nods. It felt paradoxical, being here with Erik right now. Strange and yet normal. He's not sure how he feels about it, even when it is a comfort. ]

Then I'll plan my time diligently.
exothermia: (Heads on a science apart)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will.

[Erik lapses into silence for a while, not needing to fill the quiet with talk. It's hard to put a name to how things are now, other than 'better'. Glancing at Charles briefly, he takes in the lines of his face, the bruises left by the shapeshifting attacker. He looks away again, tracing the steam of the water with his gaze instead.]

I thought about taking one of the shuttles to see the nebulas.
axiomed: (My rebel my hope)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh?

[ He follows Erik's gaze before looking away. ]

That sounds nice.
exothermia: ('Cause all will be okay; you'll see)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-12-11 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
They mention it five times in the welcome packet. [A bit dry.] So it must be good.
axiomed: (Let me cross a very fine line)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-12-11 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Or they're desperate.

[ But he doesn't believe that. ]

I'm sure it's a sight, Erik. You'll enjoy yourself.
