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.]

[Karkat walks only a step behind her, wearing a large straw hat to keep as much sun away from him as possible, and a bag over his shoulder looking kind of put upon.]

You know, I'm pretty sure this place isn't going to have any tea. Or at least not good tea.

[wavesofjade]

[She chuckles at him and leans forwards a little to peek at him under his hat.]

Ah, but that is where you are wrong. There are some very potent herbal teas here which I intend to take back to England. However!

[One arm is slipped around his shoulders.]

I am not looking for tea at the moment.

[candycrabapple]

[Without looking at the arm he shifts in closer to her so she doesn't have to over stretch around him.]

Okay, then, what are you looking for? Olives? Feta? Oily men?

[Let's remember, Karkat doesn't really know shit about Greece]

[wavesofjade]

Karkat Vantas!

[She hides a laugh behind her free hand.]

I think that I would like to find a new dress.

[candycrabapple]

Dress? What do you need a dress for? Haven't you got a million dresses?

[wavesofjade]

One can never have enough dresses, little one, and I would like a new one for summer.

[candycrabapple]

Okay sure, you can never have enough. But you don't even wear half of them... I don't think. Considering your tastes, there are probably people who go to charity shops that would fight over what you don't wear any more.

Because if you buy anymore dresses I'm going ot have to give up my clothes so you have room.

[As much as he whines, he is one of the first to admit she has great taste. And she's the only reason his wardrobe isn't full of just black shirts and jeans.]

[wavesofjade]

I wouldn't dream of edging in on your space.

[She could just enchant her closet to make it a little bigger! It was already comparable to Narnia in there anyway.]

Is there anything that you want?

[candycrabapple]

You mean other than going home? No, not really.

[Then he actually thinks about it for a second.]

Lunch would be good.

[wavesofjade]

Dear, if you really want to go home, we can go.

[She doesn't think he's grumbling enough to actually want to go home.]

But lunch is fine too.

[candycrabapple]

You're here for business, we can't leave.

[He looks up at her. While he doesn't doubt that at his demand they would up and leave, he didn't want Dolores leaving a teachers conference because of him.]

Do they have a McDonalds or something here, or am I going to have to eat baklava?

[wavesofjade]

Do you not want to try any of the local food? Think of it as an adventure.

[Though she's sure she could find a McDonalds or something if he really wanted that.]

[candycrabapple]

I'm in Greece, isn't that adventure enough?

[He's quiet for a moment then glances up at her from under the hat.]

Are souvlaki Greek? Or kebabs?

[He's thinking about things he's seen in take out places that he's never tried.]

[wavesofjade]

Souvlaki is Greek, I am sure that we can find it, if that is what you want.

[And no doubt it would be better here than if they got it from a takeout place.]

[candycrabapple]

Well we can try it. I guess it's not going to really hurt all that much to try new things, lacking any other better options of course.

[wavesofjade]

I'm sure it won't kill you, dear..

[She puts an arm around his shoulders, moving away from the shops and to somewhere they might be more likely to find a restaurant selling something that her fussy young charge will eat.]
