It was nearing on 5pm when the last two joined their party. The group now consisted of two females and two males, oddly perfectly split, maybe it was intentional or maybe that was just who won the award this year. The four sitting in the much-too-large-for-just-them-limo certainly didn't have answers to those questions. It turned out that Maddie had almost missed her flight, well would have had it not been a private plane waiting for her, due to some communication error, a wrong turn and an accident (that she thankfully had not been involved in by only one car). The new-comer gentleman, one Gregory Round, it seemed had had similar troubles, but instead of a wrong turn the miscommunication ended him up at the entirely wrong airport where he had to catch another cab to make it to the correct airport.

Enough words were shared between the nervous four to communicate each of their interest in the whole affair, but failed to get across any actual information save for basic introductions as each saw necessary. The rest of the limo ride were met with silence, for each their own reasons.

Upon arrival the vineyard stretched out on rolling hills as far as they could see, the setting sun giving just enough last shreds of light to allow the group to see how lovely their retreat location was. The limo went up a long drive until stopping smoothly outside a beautiful manor. As if alerted of their presence three people stepped out onto the porch. The first was a dapper man of about 30 years of age. Anyone who had looked up the family before arriving would recognize the man as the grandson and heir to the Lalune fortune, Rene Lalune. Behind him stepped a beautiful woman, with dark hair that ran most of the way down her back. The two were engaged to be married, though no date had been officially announced. From the shadow of the door finally stepped an elderly woman, leaning heavily upon a cane, the matron of the family, Agatha Lalune. She was the widow of the late Vorace Lalune.

The doors to the limo opened and hands were offered to the ladies to help them out of the limo.

"Welcome to Chateau De Lalune." Agatha spoke with a clear, but heavily accented voice. "You all must be tired, come in and rest. Have something to eat. Tonight is for relaxing. Traveling always makes one quite tired."

The group was led inside the mansion and into a dinning area where several options were laid out for the group to choose from.
Mary


She'd rather side-along apparate. She'd rather learn how to apparate, anything than ever taking a port-key ever again. In fact, Mary thought to herself as she re-acquainted herself with standing upright, Mary would much rather prefer taking a broom anywhere. Cross country, cross oceans, anything to never suffer going through that again. She looked green, and felt more of a chartreuse than she had ever thought it could be possible.

For the most part she wasn't even aware that someone had appeared, and spoke to the group. Let alone that he had disappeared after she had blindly followed the group up to their rooms. She of course ran into her cousin, not because she had been following too closely, but because she had failed to realize she was even moving. Not that when she stopped moving did she feel like she wasn't moving. It was all a blur. A rather gut wrenching blur.

Out of habit she followed Elise into the room, as soon as her brain recognized that there was furniture she could collapse on she took full advantage of it.

It took her several moments of deep breaths to realize Elise had spoken, and was expecting an answer. "Sorry." Mary mumbled and asked for Elise to repeat herself. "Excited yes, off definitely." Mary responded wondering were the loo was in case of need to hurl, though she suspected at this point the need was past. "Can I never do that again?" She pulled herself up onto her elbow and looked at her cousin. "It was as bad as apparating." Mary wrinkled her nose in disgust, "And I'd rather never do that again either."

"Since we're only here a week you can work on your French, but we're going a lot of places that don't speak English as their first language." Mary gave a small shrug. She had worked on her French and it was good enough to order food, find the bathroom, the hotel, transportation, and emergency services. The last being something her father had been rather adamant about her learning.

Now that the sensation from the portkey was starting to wear off Mary wanted to explore, and maybe drink something to help calm her stomach. Tea would be nice. "Do you want to see if we can find a place that serves tea? It'd be easy to order it through the hotel, but I'd rather explore a bit, now that I can feel my legs again."
I will be posting tomorrow, for one or both of my characters. Probably at least Mary. Most likely also Kyle by I make no promises since I left my laptop at work I have to go in extra early to write at least 2 posts :)

Moving forward!
#beenbusyandlazy
Will post probably Thursday or Friday depending on email insanity that I have to deal with.

Edit: Holy shit I have Friday off. Guess I'll be working on posts that day then for sure.
I am about to go camping. If I get a post up before I leave consider it a miracle. I have no internet at my sister's bfs house. I'll be at a Starbucks later so I can do work, but yeah we'll see. When I get back I'll have a post to write and a game plan for Egypt since that was my suggestion.
Okay expect a post Tuesday-ish everyone
Okay jig is up for a skip when I get back from camping how about you @AuntFlavia. When I get back I am just going to write you both into the car, is that cool? I warn you this also means I get to write some miserable thing that happened to you on the way to the car.
Having Mary room with Siobhan or Beck seems entertaining to me. I don't think she'd be cool with rooming with any of the boys. Also I laughed so hard at Kyle shitting himself if Siobhan shared a room with a boy. And it's mostly true. He'd sulk so much. And be like we'll that's her choice and I'd want to punch him because he's never said anything to her about other choices so yeah. Punch Kyle 2016.
@Apollosarcher Thank you! I'll post her in the CS tab... Sorry for the oops post.
As I requested I've made a second character. She'll be a librarian in training.
