Quito, Ecuador, Monday, October 14, 2019 [daytime]

With the altitude--Quito is 9,350 (2,850) feet in the air--the morning dawned clear, crisp and cool. We'd recommend packing a sweatshirt for the city bus tour, which will leave at 9 in the morning. You have plenty of time to grab breakfast and a trip to the gym before then.

Up and at 'em, Fandom! Ecuador awaits!

Monday Morning Breakfast was tradition, of course, even if Wayne wasn't making it, and it was the most important meal of the day, besides. But, considering the day, there were other traditions that needed to be upheld, and that was why Wayne was going to spend that particular day glued to his phone.

"So, this is really going to be a thing, Big Brother?" said Katy, rolling her eyes from the screen. "I get to just spend the day watching you eat breakfast?"

"It's Thanksgiving, Katy!" Wayne informed her stoutly, and not for the first time. "And that means spending time with family! Even when yer on different continents."

"So you're really going to drag me around Ecuador all day? Do you know how expensive that's going to get?"

"You don't fuck with tradition, Katy!"

"Okay," she shrugged, shaking her head, knowing all too well when it was pointless to argue with her brother. "If that's how you want it. But I hope you know that means I'm dragging you to Skidsgiving later."

"Yer not goin' to Skidsgiving."

"Oh, I'm definitely going to Skidsgiving. And you're going, too, unless you want to take a moment to rethink this whole big plan of yours, Big Brother."

The low rumble emitting from Wayne indicated that he was at least considering rethinking it, but he mostly just came up with another firm, solid, unmovable declaration of, "It's Thanksgiving, Katy!"

And that was that.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ah, yes, the siren call of a returned Nina inflicting herself upon unsuspecting fools.

Don't mind that hug she was going about flinging her arms around you for either, Wayne, since it was meant for Prompto but he was being an uncommunicative jerk and so, really, Nina just needed someone to hug.

"Oh!!!!!!!!!!! Hi, Katy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How're you doing???????????????????????"

Because Nina also, after having shamelessly invaded Wayne's personal space, had no problems further invading his privacy to see what he was doing on his phone.

Shuri had Done Research and Learned About Other Cultures...and had gone shopping on Amazon, so be afraid of that box she's holding, Wayne. "Happy Thankgiving!" she said, handing it over. "The traditional headdress of your people!"

She didn't remotely think so.

Eleanor had skipped anything remotely related to group activities yesterday to find a bar that had no idea what an American legal id looked like. Like the one at the breakfast where there were mimosas and bloody marys. Of which Eleanor took one of each. After taking a majority of the breakfast sausage on the buffet line, she headed back to her table where she was absorbed in figuring out her new phone and learning all about this Kylie Jenner person.

After having checked in with the staff to ask about the preparation of the food and feeling very grateful that she'd made herself a cup of tea from her flask in her room while getting ready (she was, of course, still having another, but, considering the quality, it would have been completely unacceptable as her first and only tea for the morning), Tisarwat took a seat to have some breakfast, consisting entirely of whatever was available that needed utensils to eat.

Big surprise, Kennedy was at the gym nice and early, not even breaking a sweat despite the maxed-out load on her weights machine. Not that she needed the strength training, or even needed to put the effort into staying toned; it was just something physical and active to do, and she kind of thrived on that.

. . . which, yeah, got a skeptical and not-at-all envious, really, side-eye glance from Beau when she showed up a little bit later.

She was totally not put out that someone from their group had beaten her here. Really.

Nah, she was just going to be over there, doing about a million pullups and being quietly, grudgingly impressed. Whatever, Kennedy, Beau was way more ripped than you. Bet your super-strength couldn't get you that.

Sabine has gone and toured the San Francisco just because she'd been interested in the architecture, and then found a spot to sit outside, sketching some things and people that had stood out to her in her book.

This wasn't terrible.

Cities would always be endlessly fascinating to Sidon, but what young Zora wouldn't instantly be taken in by the marvelous architecture on display with these incredible churches? He was particularly taken in by the glory and the opulence of La Compania.

"Magnificent!" he declared, and loudly, reveling in how his voice carried in the chamber until he was given a very stern look from someone who had already been regarding him with more than a little caution and skepticism.

And then he just laughed a bit sheepishly, bowed his head a bit in apology, and tried again, this time much quieter, but with no less enthusiasm.

"Magificent!"

Honestly, this was why Keyleth -- still feeling weird without her circlet but kind of quietly resigned to it now -- had come on the bus tours today, despite the fact that she couldn't even really appreciate the architectural aspects of the churches because they just made her itchy and the incredible interior detail just rubbed her the wrong way. So she'd been quiet and pretty withdrawn for the majority of the city tour, but now? Now she was just fascinated, and much more cheerful.

And, yeah, taking about a million pictures. Maybe one or two selfies in there, but mostly just pictures of basically everything.

Diiiiiiid someone say selfie??

Granted, Prompto's camera had pretty much been non-stop during the whole tour, but now that they had a chance to just sort of settle and hang out in the Middle of the World or whatever, he had a chance to get a few more of himself, and then he found himself a nice place to sit where he could start going through the shots he'd taken, to pick out some of his favorites to send off to Noctis and Yang.

Nina was definitely taking selfies. Nina was also buying chocolate at Plaza del Cacao because, um, yes please.

And also it gave her something to do while she mulled over if it would be a good idea to inflict a holiday that wasn't hers or Prompto's upon him.

And also also what sort of chocolate he'd like best.
