122113 Winter Getaway
Alex Vipond: Alex and Meghan had driven up on Friday, a nice quiet day, in the mountains, with snow, cocoa, and lights, quaint little shops, and even ice skating. Right now he and Meghan were wandering, the little village lit up like day with Christmas lights. It was like Swiss Miss meets Las Vegas, Alex chuckled at the thought as they walked, his hand laced with hers and swinging lightly between them.
Make Me MentaI: ( back, sorry! ) Meghan walked with Alex, her fingers laced with his and she was dressed as warmly as one could, without topppling over due to weight of clothing. Blue eyes glancing about here and there as they walked along. So far, she had enjoyed everything they had done, but did wonder if any of the others were going to make it. She knew Alex had extended the invite and to whom, but that was as far as it went. She'dnot see or talked to anyone since then. [d]
Garrett L Hunter: Garrett had packed up a bag and made sure he had what was needed before his truck pulled up to get Ava. Once he had collected her and her things, they made the drive and had every intention of enjoying this offer of Alex's. It'd be nice to spend some time with Ava, in some other place, other than Ty's trailer, her trailer, or the Gator. Not that any of those places were bad, but... well, it was just nice to get out. He knew Ty and Callie had intended on coming but he hadn't spoken with or seen either of them, before his leaving to get Ava. Ty would know how to find the place and he might even decide to come alone. If that was the case, hopefully that wouldn't make Callie not want to come. Once they checked into the lodge (I'm guessing here) He asked Ava if she wanted to go and check things out, close by. /d
J Avalon Xavier: Ava had packed up one of those suitcases on wheels with the extended handle (over packing, typical girl move) and was ready by the time Garrett came around to get her. She was thrilled to have a chance to get away with Garrett, in the company of good friends and a festive setting that wasn't the bar. The ride spent with continuation of their Q&A session and highway games, like making words out of the license plate letters and Punch Bug, but those stopped as soon as they arrived in the area and there was a totally new scene to take in. To the lodge to check in, and a chance to take their bags to the room so they wouldn't have to worry about it later. She agreed all too happily to go wandering around to check things out and bid him lead the way. Window shopping was always amusing.
Alex Vipond: When Alex packed he packed three bags, habit really, but then he was generally living out of those three bags for months on end. Walking the perimeter of what would usually be a street, but was currently being used as a play area for those throwing snowballs, and sledding and having other wintery type fun. Alex chuckled, watching those about, a shoulder bumping Meghan's. "What is it about snow and lights that just makes everything seem so ... magical?"
Make Me MentaI: Meghan was all smiles and continued to look at the window displays until they reached a point where they paused and watched as other played in the snow. Alex chuckled and it caused her to grin. When he asked about snow and lights, she shrugged and chuckled before giving her a shake of her head and answered him. "I don't know. But it seems to always bring out the kid in everyone." [d]
Garrett L Hunter: Garrett would feel like he had under packed if he knew of that about Alex. Then again, Garrett was use to just taking with him, things of necessity. He'd been traveling a lot lately and the mileage on that truck was proof of it helping Ty on his promise, tended to have him chasing ghosts, figuratively speaking. Garrett had enjoyed the ride with Ava. Their games and the questions were certainly entertaining while learning more about each other. Once they had checked in and settled, Ava agreed to take a walk about. So, hand in hand, gloved or not, he led her out of the lodge and toward the streets where all the activities were taking place. As for window shopping, he can handle that. Actually going in and waiting for her to make purchases? Maybe not. Unless it was for him. Then he might could learn a lil patience. "Have ya heard from Callie?" he asked as he glanced down and over at Ava, while they walked along. /d
Alex Vipond: "That it does." He nodded, lips pressing together to keep the impish grin from spreading as he dragged her over the snow bank and into the bowl of wintery fun. He let go of her long enough to scoop up some snow from the bank, and form it into a ball, then he was running to get some distance before turning to throw it at her.
J Avalon Xavier: Gloves. Oh yes. Gloves, parka with a fur lined hood, scarf to bury her nose into when the wind blew just a little too cold. Fuzzy boots and the works. She latched onto his hand and walked along with him, smiling. "No, I haven't. Haven't seen her since....the other night at the bar, I think. She texted me a couple days ago to ask about Jemma's Christmas." And hadn't heard from Callie since. "I hope she's alright." Surely she was. Callie was one of those chicks that kick ass.
Make Me MentaI: Meghan was too busy watching the kids play in the snow when... all o a sudden, Alex released her hand, scooped up snow, made a snow ball and threw it at her? Oh no he didn't!She dodged but failed in avoiding it and so the snow splattered against her arm as she turned away from it. Meghan was moving in the opposite direction, scooping up snow, and returned fire! [d]
Garrett L Hunter: Garrett couldn't help it. Ava looked so damn cute all bundled up. She looked like a lil eskimo. He listened as she replied and he nodded. "Speakn' of which... ya'll decided what ya want me to do? Yanno I told you both I wanted in on this... whether its buying a gift, giving money in on one, or doing some kinda work..." /d
J Avalon Xavier: She smiled up to him. "Callie and I talked about getting Jemma a trailer of her own. Nothing too big, but bigger than the scamp. Then fitting it with nice things; TV, some sort of game console, other things a girl her age would have interest in."
Garrett L Hunter: "I can help with something small then... yanno, furniture or something... " Garrett had actually been thinking of buying a place of his own. He had the money. Money stashed away for a rainy day as they say. Was it important when or how he had got that money? No, not really. He rarely was in that sort of thing anymore. Only on occasion did people come to him and ask for favors. And he was careful not to flash that money around, carelessly. Like going out and buying things left and right. He kept up the image of just your average joe. "Well, it’s nice of ya'll to wanna do that." /d
Alex Vipond: Laughing as he was hit, he was already forming the next volley, packing it swiftly rather than hard and he threw it at her. Course it kind of fell apart on the way, but hey, it was SNOW!
Make Me MentaI: Meghan ducked down behind a tree and was forming her next snow ball when one was in coming. She squealed as what little bit of snow was left of it, splattered against the tree. Then she threw hers. [d]
J Avalon Xavier: "I'm sure she'd appreciate that." Another smile up to him, then she looked at some of the windows they passed. "Callie and I thought maybe it'd give her some roots, let her know that she's wanted there, ya know?Also give her, her own sense of privacy." A little shrug was given, she caught the sight of flying snow from the reflection of the glass and peeked around Garrett to look in the direction of the volley of snowballs.
Garrett L Hunter: He kept her hand in his as they walked along. He nodded when she talked about how she and Callie had all these plans. "Yeah, it’s good for a girl to put down some roots somewhere. She's young enough now that if she starts here and soon, whatever issues she's got or had, will be long forgotten and easily at that." He saw how Ava was peering around him and so he turned with her to see what she was looking at. His eyes squinted a bit... lots of bright lights yanno? /d
Alex Vipond: Alex dodged by ducking low and slipping in the process, he almost ended up face first on the ground. The dodge however resulted in the person beyond him to get hit. He pushed up, scooping up another handful of snow to form another ball, then lifted a hand to the person hit. "Sorry!" and then he threw his next snowball at Meghan, giving it a double pump like he was throwing a pass, and then threw it in the direction he thought she would move.
Make Me MentaI: THAT was priceless. Meghan couldn't help the fit of laughter that escaped when she saw that look on his face. However, she quickly made that oh crap expression when the snow ball hit someone else other than Alex. "So sorry!" she called out, waving so they knew it was her that had thrown it and she hadn't meant to hit them. And he had predicted right. The minute that snowball came toward her, she was dodging and yet... ended up takingthe hit. Meghan faked a cry and fell, turning to land on her stomach. It was a ploy! Would it work?! [d]
J Avalon Xavier: Hearing the call of apology, she watched for moment then stopped and tilted her head. "That...looks like Alex and Meghan. We should sneak up and ambush them!"
Garrett L Hunter: Head canted and he just chuckled and nodded. "Yeah it does. and... we should?" he asked as he looked from them to her. /d
Alex Vipond: He did a fist pump as he nailed her, then he was moving again, and scooping up more snow. He was laughing, and looking for an opening. Didn't want to hit any more bystanders.
Make Me MentaI: Meghan didn't move.... not at first. Instead, she pretended to have a hard time to get up only to slip and fall again. purposely. Not that he knew that. Then she was scooping up snow, packing it, getting it ready for when he neared. [d
Alex Vipond: He straightened up when she didn't get up right away, and started toward her, "Baby?"
Make Me MentaI: Meghan just shook her head, her back to him. "I'm okay... I think... might of sprain my ankle.." she called out. Meghan should so get an acadamy aware for best performance in a comedy. [d]
J Avalon Xavier: Letting go of Garrett's hand she gathered up enough snow to pack into a sphere and smiled to Garrett. But then something happened across the way. "Meghan? Alex!" Grabbing Garrett's hand, she started in their direction.
Garrett L Hunter: Garrett continued to look at her, a lil uneasy with that idea, but then she was scooping up snow and he knew they were in for it. He smirked and was about to scoop up his on thing of snow but then he was being pulled into a direction and he just followed. "Hey, ya'll okay?" he called out, now seeing Meghan down and seeing Alex headed towards his wife. /d
Alex Vipond: "Aw, man... Baby, I'm sorry." He stepped up to her, lips twitching upward as that snowball in hand was dashed over top of her. It wasn't her acting skills, they were great. It was just that he was a cheater; knew she wasn't in pain. She probably forgot that part.... He turned as their names were called out, and he lifted his hand to wave. "Hey, guys!"
Make Me MentaI: Meghan could fake it though, still, and then when he was distracted? Yup, shelet him have it. That big ole snowball was released on him and then she was looking to see Ava ...and Garrett? So THIS was the guy she was talking about. Meghan had been right in assuming he was the one named Garrett and what he had looked like. And well, yeah.. Ava wasn't lying when she said he was good looking. [d]
OnlineHost: J Avalon Xavier has left the room.
Alex Vipond: So good looking, she fell right out.
