Greece is the word

[wwistful]

WHO: ALL OF THE TEACHERS and their broods
TONE: FUN!?!?
RATING: M for Mature.
WHEN: 4th April to 7th April (ish)
WHERE: Murdoc's home in Greece
WHAT: A teacher meeting held in Greece! What could possibly go wrong?
STATUS: Ongoing.

[Murdoc isn't sure why the responsibility of hosting the meeting fell to him, honestly it already sounds like a terrible idea. He doubts any of them will either come up with sound lesson plans, work cohesively as a team or leave his home any wiser and more mature than they were when they entered. To him, it seems as if a couple of people just like the idea of visiting Greece. However, it's not as if he's going to pass up the chance to show off! And it's not like he doesn't have room to spare.

He's not going to be all that happy to have people there, but he's not a bad host. Everyone has a room and there's food and booze provided. Not to mention the fact that the beach and town are within walking distance, but why on earth would you want to live such a sick crib? Of course, given that he's a pureblood there's absolutely no technology or reception, but there's a pool and a near endless amount of rooms filled with nifty shit!

Regardless, if you aren't a kid you sure as hell aren't here to explore, so quit touching his stuff and get working.]

DOWNTIME

[wwistful]

[You've been working all day, time to drink by the pool or sprawl out over the couch. You tried and that means nobody can judge you, right?]

[wavesofjade]

[Working all day? Hardly, but Dolores is enjoying the last of the day's sunlight sitting by the pool, clad only in a swimsuit with a sheer sarong tied around her waist. She had been reading a book until the heat had got the best of her, and it lies open on the low table beside the sun lounger she's reclining on.

She's relaxed enough that she isn't even keeping up the pretence of breathing, what air she does draw in light and erratic and just enough that she can hum a few bars of a tune that's stuck in her head (which, to anyone with a good ear, would quickly reveal itself to be Livin' on a Prayer). Her fingers tap gently against the arm of the sun lounger.

Anyone approaching, unless they're incredibly quiet, would find her turning to give them a cheerful smile and a small wave.]

[wwistful]

[Murdoc isn't particularly quiet as he approaches, he hadn't actually been expecting anyone out here. He missed his morning swim so he's making up for it now, padding out to the pool in his trunks with a towel around his neck.

He turns as he hears her hum and raises an eyebrow at her, draping his towel over a lounge and folding his arms over his chest, half smiling at her.]

Afternoon. [A beat.] Enjoyin' yourself?

[wavesofjade]

[She smiles in return and sits up a little on the sun lounger. In the sunshine and the clean, white surroundings, how pale her skin is becomes far more obvious than it ever did at school. There's a faint colour to it, lingering over from life, but it's an almost ethereal look.

It's just as well that she makes up for her lack of human life with her bright expression and cheerful voice as she replies.]

I am! This place is wonderful, thank you for inviting me, and for letting me bring Karkat along.

[8lackwidow]

[It's a good thing Charlotte isn't trying to be a ninja then. No she just spots Dol, and being curious and nosy she comes on over, returning the small wave with a wiggle of her own fingers. And then she leans on the back of Dol's chair, the breeze making her own sheer robe swirl around her legs.]

And how are you Ms Maryam? We really haven't had a chance to chat, and such a pity.

[wavesofjade]

[Dolores doesn't really make much effort to move, simply tilts her head back and looks up at Charlotte as she leans against the seat. A smile crosses her face, and she nods.]

I'm quite alright, and a pity indeed. I normally greet new professors, but the castle's antics have been keeping me quite busy of late.

[candycrabapple]

[After getting over the fact he's in a place he doesn't entirely want to be. Karkat's finally sucked it up and has started wandering around the house, and has found himself in a library-like part of the house. After browsing the titles, he grabs one that seems vaguely romantic and curls up in a chair to unobtrusively read . Occasionally talking out loud about something her's just read.]

[higherthaneverybody]

Mr. Vantas. [For such a large man, Professor Rhydderch sure can move quietly.]

[seeringlight]

[Hopefully you're used to company, because Rose easily takes advantage of the extensive library of books at hand.

She's mostly interested in the more fantastical reads, but she's also looking at any books that she may want to take advantage of reading to further her knowledge.]

You don't look too pleased to be here.

[greaselightning]

[Who are you kidding, Cronus ain't working one bit while on break. That's for all you teachers, but he will take the time to relax by the pool! He's definitely wearing quite the swim wear too. He's content with himself, having all these people over--even if they are teachers. They're still fucking hot, and getting the chance to see them outta their robes and wet(though he wishes for some in more ways than one) is just one of the best ways to spend the holidays!]

[So, anyone who's in the pool, around the pool, or just in the vicinity of Cronus is definitely getting a look over and an unsettling smile of approval. Maybe even a wave over, because how can he possibly hit on you if you're that far away, I mean come on.]

[8lackwidow]

[Charlotte hadn't so much come here herself for work, her own lesson plans thought out. After all, it was always pretty clear who had any skill in Divination, and for everyone that wasn't, it was easy enough to give them useless tasks. Tea leaf readings were good for that. And maybe it's Cronus's lucky day, because she does fill out her bikini wonderfully, even if there is the slightest hint of softness in her stomach. Though she is modest enough to have a light weight blue robe over her shoulders.

Look, fair skin doesn't stay that nice without work.

When she passes Cronus all he gets is a light laugh, and a smug look] My, it must be absolutely freezing in there...

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

Svimsuits are for SVIMMINK!

[... is all the warning Cronus gets before suddenly getting grabbed and thrown in the pool by a red one-piece wearing Mamma. She stands at the pool edge grinning like a loon until he resurfaces and then with a loud whoop bombs right in-! Which, with her sizeable figure causes nothing short of a tsunami of water to go splashing off in every which direction.]

[strideallknight]

[Dave is basically trying not to be whiter than snow during this vacation in Greece and soaking up as much sun as his body will allow. Sadly, it's only tanned him very slightly. At this rate, nobody's going to believe he'd been out and about in the sun during his stay in Greece.

Oh, well. It's nice enough outside for naps, which has been a favorite past time other than reading.

He's actually got a book with him as he sits down on one of the pool chairs. Dave glances over at Cronus...and studiously ignores him by trying to bury his nose in the book.]

[mo_cara]

[Gamzee seems generally oblivious to the creepiness of Cronus, at least in his direction. He's got considerably more cover, but there's a bare chest to ogle? He's definitely more developed than the other 4th years, probably because he's got a year and a half on most of them, and it's pretty clear that, slender though he is now, one day that boy is gonna have the arms and shoulders of a basketball player.]

Hey, motherfucker! Pretty aerodynamic there!

[toocoolforthis]

[Who swims in a pool when the ocean is right there? Not Dirk, considering he's wearing a t-shirt and pants rather than anything designed for going in the pool.

Even more of a travesty, he doesn't even seem to have noticed Cronus. He's just fiddling around with some mini-robotics pieces, and all of his attention is wrapped up in that.]

[wwistful]

[Murdoc is going to pad out to the pool fully clothed. He isn't here to play around, he's mostly coming over to check if the guests are behaving. He hadn't even considered he'd need to make sure Cronus is behaving! He can't help but envy him a little when he catches sight of the swim wear, man clothes are itchy.]

I see you've opted for the casual look. [He raises an eyebrow at him, folding his arms over his chest.]

[seeringlight]

[Rose is sitting on the side, her legs slipped into the water. Shit girl, you look like you need some damn sun. She has used a gracious amount of sunscreen. She isn't interested in burning, after all.

She's mostly reading, but the water is nice enough that dipping her feet in isn't so bad.

Hit on her. She dares you.]

[savviest]

[Jack has no interest in lesson planning or any such thing, but he does have interest in staying in a nice mansion in Greece of all places. AH, he's missed the sea breeze.

Now, however, he's taken to poking around the more discreet areas of the house. He's curious about what this guys got hidden around here, maybe he'll find something worth more than the whole house.

He's currently slinking through the halls upstairs, hands raised as he creeps the halls in tipsy glee.]

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

[Mamma's just left the pool, her swimsuit partially covered by the luxurious red silk and gold robe and a towel on her shoulder to catch the falling drops of water from her now long ocean blue hair that she changed to suit the bright Mediterranean seaside they could see. Watching Jack slink through the halls, she grins and follows behind him on surprisingly quiet feet despite her size and finally leans in to whisper:]

Boo!

[innocent_insanity]

[Kurloz has brought his sketchbook and a small set of watercolours AND SOMEHOW FOUND HIS WAY ON THE ROOF. He likes the view from there of the surrounding buildings and terrain, so he's done a few quick sketches of the landscape before picking one direction to start painting.]

[higherthaneverybody]

[Rhys is eternally grateful to Dolores for inviting his son - it's not as though he'd be able to do anything with him in a social setting otherwise. So he's taken some time from the drawing room and Murdoc's watchful eye to come find the boy.]

Mr. Makara. I should have expected that I would find you up here. [small smile]

[toocoolforthis]

[Where there is a roof, there will eventually be a Strider. It's one of the rules of the universe, apparently.

He pauses when he gets to the roof and sees Kurloz, though.]

Huh. Didn't think anyone else'd be up here.

[8lackwidow]

[Charlotte's taken to sleeping less and less these years, or even just simply wearing her body down to tiredness until she collapses. Sleep is never truly dreamless, but she's taught her body not to scream, and there's charms in place even if she does. Besides, asking for dreamless sleep potions means letting some know how she's still struggling some days.

Its somewhere between 3 and 4 am when she slips out of the house and down to the pool, and as she slips into the water she leaves her robe by the steps. There's just a pair of bikini bottoms on her, a smallest precaution because while she cares little about her own nudity she knows people aren't always as carefree as her. But breasts should be fine, really, breasts are just some extra fat. She's never seen the fuss people like to through about them.

Her strokes are long and lazy, water making her hair fall out of it's perfect curls into a wetter, wilder set. And eventually she comes over to the side and stares at the stars, arms crossed and pressed against the paving to keep her from floating, the faintest shine coming from her fake one.]

[greaselightning]

[Cronus has hardly the same drama to keep him up at night, what with being only a school boy and not having the demanding life she did and all. However, he's also up, for various reasons some of which come with being a school boy. And so, he himself heads out to the pool. Late night(early morning?) swims are hardly something odd for the Amporas, especially skinny dips, but as luck would have it, for Charlotte, Cro opted to wear his purple speedo that leaves nothing to the imagination. Honestly, this is hardly a better alternative.]

[Color him surprised when he sees her there in the pool, topless and just staring at the sky. Dang. He may give her a lot of shit, but he can't deny that she's hot. Not that it says much, since Cronus will go for anyone, but you know... Whatever.]

Well, well, well, what have we here? Were you waiting here for me? I hope I didn't keep you waiting long.

[Cronus stahp.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Bro sleeps a fair bit, but over the holidays, it doesn't tend to be at night. Just too much to do, lots of junk food to eat. Especially at Murdoc's, who keeps lots of sweet shit to eat. So he's in the kitchen when he hears the sound of Charlotte leaving the house, and curiosity gets the better of him, unable to help himself from going outside to see who the hell's sneaking out this time of night. There are more than enough kids here for him to be suspicious.

When he gets out there and sees her, he gives her a less than impressed look.]

A house full'a kids that could walk out here on you and second, and you're out here letting your tatas go wild and free. You really think Dumbledore'd approve of this?
