While I awkwardly play 'Draw Something' at my desk before my boss gets here --

Where do your pups go on vacation, if not just Milliways proper?

[queenofmay]

*is a terrible person*




The Holy Land.

[sdelmonte]

A very nice place to go. Assuming you go in the present day and have a brother in law to pick you up from the airport. (Guess who just bought tickets?)

[queenofmay]

Oh my! That sounds amazing! When do you go?

[sdelmonte]

End of May for about 10 days, half of which are Jewish holiday or sabbath. We are going in part to mark the first anniversary of Batya's mother's passing. (She is buried in Israel, and Batya has yet to visit the grave.) But it's also just a chance to see the family.

[landlesslord]

*is also terrible*

I second this. And third it.

[queenofmay]

*giggles* I love you.

[landlesslord]

We are terrible together! :D

[the_seafarer]

WHY.

[queenofmay]

Oh. Uh. *sheepish and caught* Caspian.




I TOTALLY MEANT AMBERGELDAR, CASPIAN. DON'T FROWN AT ME.

[the_seafarer]

Caspian says FROWNY FACE.

Considering he is currently vacationing in *cough*JAIL*cough* I'm not sure he can talk.

I mean, beautiful, scenic Sherwood!

[queenofmay]

Marian would like to point out that she's never once said anyone should vacation in her world. And that she did not *exactly* make Caspian come to there. .......but she's very certain neeeither of you should be sarcastic about Sherwood, as it is PERFECT. (Even if she couldn't consider it a vacation place, because she's still too busy calling it the Home of her Heart.)

[will_scarlett]

Will has taken people sort of vacationing in Sherwood and agrees with Marian. It's perfect just have a sword.

[landlesslord]

Uh. Uh.

Extreme sports. Wolf-baiting. The sunny weather. Shopping opportunities. Um.

...it's nice for honeymooners...

[themightyspazz]

Voodoo's partial to Puerto Rico.

John's giving me a look like "psh, vacations are for CITY FOLK."

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Ray vacations wherever and whenever Romana recommends, unless he's found somewhere interesting in the Atlas Obscura to recommend to her. There are advantages to a Time Lord wife.

Neither Gordon nor Adrian have time for vacation.

Ellen hasn't even got the concept of vacation; the closest she gets to the idea is a medical furlough from standard duties. Vault 101 had a pretty strict 'he who does not work, does not eat' policy for anybody able-bodied between the ages of ten and seventy-five.

Mordin occasionally considers vacationing at a beach somewhere and collecting seashells, but in the same way that twentieth century science fiction writers occasionally consider the construction of Dyson spheres; that's not going to happen any time soon.

[sdelmonte]

Knox goes where there is news. That is, to places with super-heroes. Also, occasionally to Florida to visit his folks. Also, to conventions with other reporters.

Kirk rarely takes real vacations, but he likes camping.

Cy used to travel with his mom. He doesn't think he has the time for it now, but that is really just an excuse so he doesn't have to admit he misses her. Though as the Titans travel a lot, a vacation seems less special anyway.

Howard gets in his plane and goes where the wind will take him.

Gibbs can't exactly go on vacation, being a pirate and all.

Charlie did a lot of travel in his day but never thought of himself as a vacation type.

[saphyria]

Zelgadiss travels the world on a quest to get his human body back and maybe save the world along the way. Or vice-versa. He doesn't consider any of this vacation time, even when Lina drags the group out of their way to visit cities with famous restaurants or world-renowned local cuisine.

Sunshine has neither the time nor the money for anything approaching a proper vacation, but counts Milliways as a satisfying escape from her daily life.

Yrael is never not on vacation. ^_^

[the_seafarer]

Ambergeldar.

Not that it's always relaxing.

[kitchen_maid]

Okay, so people occasionally get kidnapped by dragons or dragged into fairy tales.

But the scenery and the welcome could not be lovelier, right?

[gorgonfondness]

Lann, a fishing village on Lunar with what is said to be the best seafood in the world, has become a favorite vacation spot for the Malfoy-Ausa family. Otherwise, they'll go to England to visit Draco's parents.

Lucas is going to travel all over the Nowhere Islands but wouldn't really consider any of it a vacation.

Shinigami's soul is bound to Death City, Nevada and has been for the last 800 years. Milliways, being the first new place he could go to in that time, is his vacation spot now.

[a1enzo]

Since Enzo is mostly away at school in the Supercomputer, for his vacations, he comes home to Mainframe. He also visits Amity Park and stays with Dani's family, but usually only for a holiday weekend or something.

[leeshajoy]

...my current pups are only vaguely aware of the concept of a vacation.

[death_gone_mad]

Vacation? That's for people who don't already travel as part of their job/plot to take over the world/efforts to cause the most trouble possible.

[paladins_lady]

Charity would go wherever her parents took her and her sister.

Any time that something isn't trying to kill him, his brother, his friends or his world OR turn him into a monster is a vacation to Cal.

[innerbrat]

Dinah loves East Asia, particularly Okinawa at her current point in time. In fact, she totally intends to take a vacation there this year.

Maybe next year.

When the world's not in danger.

When she can afford it.

Look, she's busy, OK?

[waddledoodles]

Here, apparently.

Poor guy can't catch a break!

[bjornwilde]

Ben vacations in many places including other worlds, times and dimensions but closest to his heart are Puerto Rico (which he going to annually all by himself or did until recently) and France.

[sardonicynic]

Ben Wade (almosthonorable): Dodge City. Also, Mexico. (He's not wanted there!)

Gina Cowell (deadlinedriven): Gina's vacations are working vacations, especially when they are in the Hamptons, and she is babysitting a certain (and forever procrastinating) mystery novelist.

Kate Warner (justdidntseeit): Manama. After spending a couple of years living in Bahrain, she goes back every chance she gets.

Mary Morstan (intendtotake): Brighton.

Ned Stark (houseofhonor): King's Landing, OF COURSE. (I kid, I kid. Ned is a homebody -- give him Winterfell, or give him ... um, dramatic irony.)

Raylan Givens (itwasjustified): Anywhere that is not Nicaragua. Ray-Ray hears Tahiti is nice, but he's never been.

[thebattycakes]

Bill Pardy- Bill doesn't get out much (outside of Milliways, anyways). His idea of a vacation is a day spent at the lake, which is just a short drive (or a long walk) from home. Since Kate's been staying with him in Wheelsy, though, he's strayed a bit farther from home for her, making trips out to Columbia and Charleston. Maybe one of these days he'll venture past the state line. (To be fair he has left South Carolina, it's just been a long, long time.)

Hellboy- Red doesn't get to go on vacations, but when he does break go out he likes the city. The bustle, the lights, the people, he likes to be where the action is, even if he's on the outside of it, watching from the shadows and rooftops.

Logan- Wandering around in the woods a thousand miles from anybody in the freezing great white North is what Logan does for vacation. He also likes Japan.

Billy the Kid- Wherever the nearest whore house and cantina are where the people know his name, and the ladies love him.

Pleakley- Pleakley lives in Hawaii in a near constant state of terror (the ocean is full of death, and he lives with a mad scientist, an escaped genetic experiment, and a six-year old), so I'm not quite sure where he'd go to get away. Maybe an Amish village where he can get away from crazy technology and wear frilly bonnets?

The Tick- Evil doesn't take holidays, and neither does The Tick.

[shinyhappygoth]

I defy anyone to say or think that last line in a normal tone of voice.

[nocarename]

Unable to comply. The closest managed was a Shatner in full ellipsis mode voice.

[ceitfianna]

Will and William are just looking confused in my heads as vacation doesn't make sense to them. There's always stuff to do.

Jane goes to London, Plymouth or possibly somewhere else she has family.

Demeter is odd about vacations. She prefers to host them as the times when she travels are usually connected to Winter and not thinking about things. She'd rather host someone at her house or spend a little time in their world then go someplace else.

Sameth does know about vacations, he just doesn't really take them. There are family hunting lodges that they went to when he was younger and I think visits in Ancelstierre.

Moist von Lipwig loves being able to go on vacation and not be working and just enjoy the fruits of his labor wherever he is. Though it rarely lasts long as he likes his work.

Charles, I think it depends on his mood. I could see a weekend in NYC, going out to the Hamptons, in Oxford, heading to Brighton or London, also general travel.

Tumnus goes on vacation where the Pevensies go which is various parts of Narnia.

The Pirate King doesn't really need vacations as he loves what he's doing.

[inlovewithwords]

Lois would totally take a vacation to Malibu, Hawaii, or some other sunny-and-beachy type place. Or skiing. Or NYC for some hardcore city exploring and shopping. Pretty much any place that wasn't Metropolis or Smallville and involved no form of educational or intentionally-and-regimentedly-profitable work would count as a vacation for her right now.

Tavi does grasp the idea of "a little time every so often with people you love." He just doesn't have the luxury. And sometimes forgets.

[minkhollow]

Cata and Sam don't really have the concept, as such. Sam's doing a fair bit of traveling with Kaylana (since they're splitting the difference between their preferred environments and she's on the lookout for more potential druids), and Cata would much rather stay in the city whenever possible. I'm not sure the occasional visit to Medic's world really counts as a vacation, considering. XD

Claudia's job entails a lot of traveling, though she hasn't really gotten in on that game too much yet (not nearly as much as Artie, Pete and Myka, anyway). She wants to go to Geneva for a proper visit with her brother that isn't work-induced.

For Apollo, the whole world is a vacation, in its way.

Imp is also unfamiliar with the concept.

[ladyoflorien]

So, I've resolved to make more of an effort to participate in DEs. I usually don't bounce by the bar until well after DEs go up, so I get the awkward-panda late-to-the-party thing going on.


Grace Augustine doesn't vacation. She's always there, in the lab, making you feel bad for being incompetent.

Leela appreciates a good beach planet, which is far superior to an ocean planet because finding a parking place is hard enough on land. She also exploits trips to spas every chance she gets.

Porthos is pretty content with the brothel. But his wanderlust yearns for the sea, the oriental ports of call, and pretty much any place that isn't England.

Ray Carling will take a footie match in Manchester over a poncy holiday to the countryside any day of the year. He's happy right where he is, ta.

Renee Walker is fond of Virginia Beach, but she doesn't indulge in many vacations. When she does, she spends most of her time catching up on sleep, or watching old black & whites with a bowl of popcorn.

Lily Bell wishes to see the whole of America, and does not rely upon dithering away her time to make it happen. Her work with the railroad is satisfying, and of itself will take her to the Pacific coast.

Aaaand Zoë Washburne is just lucky anytime they make planetside without a pack of hired guns on their tail. Wouldn't mind docking someplace nice, though. Not that she's holding her breath.


(la la la, I have so many OoMs and EPs to write, la la la...)

[yakalskovich]

Teja and Urquhart both claim they don't really get the concept, even though I have to third or fourth the 'Holy Land' thing for Urq, just a little, and Teja actually takes short vacations with his people in Gotland now.

Antinoos is living a life of luxurious leisure at the very height of the Roman empire, and travelling is the norm for him, not a special vacation.

Lady Margolotta has canonically taken at least one vacation for which she went to Ankh-Morpork and watched a football game.

Lorenzo goes for villeggiatura to the country house of his family, with his parents and all his relatives, as people did in his time.

Tower and Tamara both are all 'does not apply'.

[misslucyjane]

Any day not spent polishing Arthur's armor is a vacation for Merlin.

Green!Jack takes long walks for his vacations. The last time he ended up in India. (You know, I'm thinking he should do some kind of walkabout again soon.)

Ianto's last vacation was camping in Brittany, but that was before cannibals tried to eat him and camping lost what luster it had. Now he'd prefer a good, quite hotel in an exotic locale. Not that Torchwood really gives vacations.

Dakin has yet to go on holiday without his parents, but he's fond of the idea of taking Posner to Paris on some school break. They'd probably have to stay in a hostel and budget everything carefully, but who cares? It's Paris!

Peter likes sun-drenched vacations, but he doesn't care where they go as long as he's with Elizabeth.

John hasn't been on holiday since before Afghanistan...he's very much a hiking through Cornwall/weekend at Blackpool type of vacationer.

Jim is Evil, and therefore doesn't go on holiday. (OMG, how much do I want him to meet the Tick now?)

[hey35andholding]

Clementine shamelessly abuses Millitime and the door and sneaks into other worlds for vacations; eventually I want that to become a problem for her.

Dixie travels the world for her job, so anyplace quiet is more of an adventure.

Juliet would got to Canada to visit her grandma.
