After having secured the room keys the group made their way to the elevators. Melissa had begged the Goddess to let a bellhop take the luggage to the rooms but Callisto insisted the bard would do a much better job. On the way the group passed several Cea-ce's Palace employees wearing "authentic" ancient Roman garb.
GC: (smacks Melissa in the back of the head)
MM: ouch. What did you do that for?
GC: Who was it that told me nobody dressed like that anymore? And insisted that I wear these damn jeans from the Limited (TM) instead of my armor?
MM: (still rubbing the back of her head) Matt.
GC: exactly.
MM: (oh you're going to pay Peters...but then again, I guess he already is...inward smile)
somewhere over the Atlantic.....
Luggage: no I'm pretty sure these *are* Hudson's shoes.
In the elevator the group politely stands there facing the front watching the numbers go by, nobody says a word. To do otherwise would just be really freaky. But just before Callisto leaves the elevator she pushes all the buttons so that it will continue on its way stopping at every floor.
MM: (blank stare)
GC: You are not babysitting.
The group makes its way down the hall, Melissa is lagging again...you know what with all the luggage she is now toeing along. When she finally catches up with the gang they are deep in conversation.
Trancer: Look, just because I'm her triplet doesn't mean that I should get stuck with her.
HL: (sigh) Well, I think I might have some extra space in one of the closets.
MM: (scowl)
GC: Stop pouting bard. You can stay with me.
MM: (whimper)
GC: I'll room service you up some hay.
The group separates going to their respective rooms.
GC: stay here bard. (leaving Melissa in the hall)
MM: (sigh)
45 minutes later Hudson emerges from her room, all refreshed and ready to go.
HL: You're not going to wear *that* are you?
MM: Hello. The Airlines lost my luggage. This is all I got.
HL: (frown) Come here. (pulls Melissa into her room) (searches through her luggage) Hmmm? That's odd. I don't remember telling you to pack my wardrobe from my ST:VOYAGER audition. Oh well, It'll do.
MM: no. I don't think so.
HL: Hmmm. And I so didn't want to tell Callisto that my luggage had been tampered with.
MM: (mumble) fine. Give it here.
HL: Good girl.
In the meantime, Callisto reemerged from her room to discover the bard was missing. Knowing Melissa would not disobey her orders to stay, she jumped to the only conclusion she could....
GC: SWEET MOTHER OF ZEUS! SOMEBODY STOLE MY BARD!!!
HL: (Peaks her head out the door) It's ok Cally, she's in here.
GC: oh.
MM: (emerges wearing 7 of 9 garb)
GC: That's it! I'm putting my warlord stuff back on. (returns to her room)
Trancer: (emerges from her room carrying maps of the city, complete with her own flow charts, and time schedules.) (Seeing Melissa, Trancer laps into an uncontrollable laughing jag)
MM: That's it. I'm changing.
HL: Oh no you don't.
MM: (sigh) (This is not my life)
GC: (still in her room) Yes it is.
