[u][b]Los Paraísos: The Strip[/b][/u]

The trip to the hotel Pellagio was, thankfully, a short one. Passing out from the Flying Albatross and into the bustling crowds and heat again, The Pride followed Aria and Xandra’s guide, after Lisette momentary confusion in trying to remember where it was. On and on the group travelled the short distance to the plush and expensive hotel, with Estelle quickly stopping at a nearby vendor on the way to order a delicious ice cream. 

The Pellagio was unlike anything they’d ever seen before. A giant, elaborate fountain in the front of the hotel shot forth many bursts of water, the droplets coalescing and transforming into wild and beautiful, colourful shapes. Of warriors with swords on horseback, charging against might leviathans. To serene and graceful figures, dancing atop the water’s edge and more. 

Estelle’s eyes were so focused on the brilliant scene, that she almost walked smack into the Pellagio’s front doors, until she was stopped by Aria darting just in front to open them for the group, and one by one they all filed into the hotel. Estelle’s jaw gaped open in wonderment and disbelief, at how tall the ceiling above extended, floors upon floors of rooms overlooking the lobby below. The intricacies and details… all of it was just… absolutely amazing. 

And then Estelle, and all of her friends were then suddenly shocked out of their senses.

Rocking his body to either side as he strode towards them was none other then the man himself, a cheesy grin plastered on his face and two pina coladas held in either hand. The man was sporting the swankiest pair of shades to ever grace the world, and rocked a sweet as could be open tropical Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts and flip flops. He extended the two glasses out, one for Amy and one for Selan, handing them over before waiting for them to reciprocate, before then spinning on the spot and kicking one hip and leg out, stopping before the assembled Pride in one of the man’s trademark, fabulous poses.

“Eyyyy~ I missed you guys!” Don’s teeth sparkled. His eyes then widened and blinked, as he looked over the rim of his shades and spotted the two new strangers. His smile grew more brilliant. “And who are you girls?”

“Shall we get checked in?” Marcus asked the rest of his companions in the Pride, not missing a beat or step and continuing straight on to the reception desk. 

“Ooh! Ooh! I wonder what the rooms look like?!” Estelle skipped beside her friend. 

The Pride would take thirty minutes to check in, find their rooms and settle down their luggage, taking some time to acclimatise to their surroundings and get ready for their day’s activities. Meanwhile, Don was left to entertain Xandra and Aria… in the way only he knew how. 

“So... who are you guys?” Don asked amidst a bright grin.
