61 - In Port

[gimmethemap]

They wouldn't let me into the water park. At first because they kept saying I needed to "go back to my section" -- which we later came to find meant they thought I worked there. And then because they said I needed a bathing suit.

What is a bathing suit?

What do you usually use for swimming? You've never worn a bathing suit? Swim suit? Bikini? Etc?

They are usually skin-tight pieces of clothing you wear when you want to go swimming. Akin to underwear.

[gimmethemap]

I usually wear my clothes.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

You can probably purchase one here. They sell everything here, it seems.

[gimmethemap]

I'm not wearing one of those!

Whores wear more clothes than that!

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well, it's really a matter of utility, not... titillation.

[acid_rayne]

You, um...

Yeah.

OK, they've kind of got a ride based on pirates, just so you know. It's a little on the superficial side.

Not laughing, seriously. I'm dreading the inevitable confrontation with how I've heard I'm represented in some pleaces.

Sounds like you're having a blast.

[gimmethemap]

Han!

[gota-badfeeling.livejournal.com]

Hey, Morgan. Looks like you guys have me all to yourself again.

[gimmethemap]

Where are you?

[gota-badfeeling.livejournal.com]

At something called 'Star Tours.' The crowd here's a little too excitable.

[gimmethemap]

Found that on the map. Stay put; I'll come and find you!

[gota-badfeeling.livejournal.com]

Great. Hurry, would ya? My trigger finger's getting itchy.

Action!

[gimmethemap]

[It doesn't take her long to get to the Star Tours area -- at least, where she thinks it is. It's not as though she really knows what it was supposed to look like, but once the signs come up, she's fine. It's a little longer before she spots Han, though, and that was after running into at least one person who dressed a lot like he did.]

Hey!

[She doesn't give much time for a reaction, just embraces. Maybe she's making a big deal, but it's not everyday that people come back.]

Thought I'd seen the last of you.

Action!

[gota-badfeeling.livejournal.com]

[He hugs her back, relieved to see a familiar face-- that is, a real familiar face, not like the weird costumed people hanging around who kind of look like his friends and enemies.]

You wouldn't believe how many people say that.

Action!

[gimmethemap]

Maybe I do. [Morgan beams.] Normally you would have been brought to the Barge, but the Admiral is making a lot of changes that he wants everyone out and about for. Probably why the place is so -- [She looks around and reconsiders using the word 'normal'] tame.

Action!

[gota-badfeeling.livejournal.com]

Looks a lot more lively than the last place, at least. [He shrugs] Let's get outta here before another Chewie tries to give me a hug.

Action!

[gimmethemap]

Sure thing. [She's still not sure what a Chewie is.] Hungry? Fancy a drink? Want to try the rides? See the animals? [She takes his hand and leads him out of line.]

Action!

[gota-badfeeling.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna need a drink before... [He looks around, curious] getting the full 'Disney World' experience.

Action!

[gimmethemap]

Germany it is! [With one hand she waves the map open and looks at it -- then promptly changes direction.] Come on. The food and drink here are probably the best part.

Odd, I am wearing my usual attire and they have said nothing.

[gimmethemap]

To be fair, Namor, you're kind of always almost-naked.

[namorofthesea.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, and my attire is not unlike the swimwear they sell. And much of what I saw there seems similar to typical Atlantean attire, perhaps because certain things are simply more efficient when worn in water.
