DE: Two Tickets

[bjornwilde]

 Late DE but I am on vacation so...with the multiverse open to your characters, where would they take a vacation? Would they stick to their own world or try another? And would they take someone with them or go solo?

First: I can pick up the rest of the week's DE if you want.

Answers:

Joshua would probably just like to go somewhere that's not Univille and not have anything to do with Artifacts. However, his job being what it is, he probably would have to go somewhere not in his 'verse. Quirm is nice this time of year, right?

Helena is perfectly content as well going somewhere that's not South Dakota. She just got back from Paris, but that was no vacation in more than one way.

Fantine is actually rather content in-bar. Sometime she'd like to visit the Emcee in his world if she can, but for now, she's happy.

Valentine doesn't think she has time for a vacation. Too damn much to write, and the last time her family took her on a vacation it was awful. She'll just stay home, thanks.

[bjornwilde]

I'm good. Her Ladyship still has school tomorrow and Wednesday so I'll be getting up anyway; just not as early as usual. = ]

Ellen has visited a couple of other people's worlds because they've basically indicated she needs a vacation, but she doesn't really grasp the concept and isn't very good at it. She might be able to handle a vacation to a world that isn't Earth, since it'd neither be something she could see as recon/research (Mr. Mills' Washington, DC) nor a horrifying 'this will be dead when I get back to my world' realization moment (Steve Rogers' New York City), but even that's a bit iffy.

Mulan, once the concept has been explained to her, would likely visit the land of her childhood. She'd love to take Aurora but that is unlikely. She'd also be interested in visiting this Storybrooke Emma and Mary Margaret mentioned, especially if she can find her old friend Belle.

Jess would love to visit California, likely the SF Bay Area. She'd go solo but if she had to take someone, it'd likely be Banner. Yes, the state of her social life is that Banner is the safest choice for traveling companion. OK, she's not quite to this point in canon but that's where she's answering from.

Val has sort of vacationed on Enzo's world and had a great time but she'd prefer to vacation in her home dimension, if only she could find it.

Hank would visit the Smithsonian. Or, if we're really saying anything here, he'd take two tickets to the Ed Sullivan show and surprise Raven.

Anton doesn't vacation at this point in canon, though Tiger Cub did take everyone to her house outside of Moscow for a few days or drinking and relaxation. Later he seems to prefer renting a country house South of Moscow if memory is serving.

Andrea doesn't do vacations yet but will soon. She/they seem to like sun and sand vacation spots.

Brimstone has too much work to do and too much depending on him.

And I am drawing a blank on Quinlan.

Yrael and Sunshine would opt for somewhere tropical, preferably not on their own worlds. Somewhere with long, hot, sunny days and cool, pleasant nights, with the added bonuses of swimming for Sunshine, fresh fish for Yrael, and sunbathing for both. ^_^ Both would also like a place with a good library, and Yrael would want a place with a good local music scene. He might add the steel drum to his list of playable instruments.

[death_gone_mad]

Too bad Amascut is... well... Amascut. That (minus the steel drums) sounds like Menaphos. I imagine it is a lot like Alexandria, Egypt. What a pity :P

[mogget_cat]

Yrael: *wheedles, charmingly*

[death_gone_mad]

Amascut: Eww. No. Besides... the Menaphites wouldn't let Rae or me in. They are superstitious about redheads.

>.>
<.<

Especially if we don't burst into flames into sunburns and blisters when the sun hits us.

[not_my_sandbox]

Vacation? What is that?

I think the only one of mine who understands the concept is Fairy Fixit. The multiverse was open to her even before Milliways but I have only a vague idea where she would go/what she would do on vacation. Maybe visit some filming locations for her favorite shows? It is sight seeing and not very relaxing, but the Zanaris Fairies are a race of habitual explorers, after all. I imagine they do have a bit of wanderlust. As for who she would bring along, well, that depends very much on where she is going.

[souffle_girlek]

Ace would prefer somewhere warm, with an excellent local food scene, and perhaps a evil dicatorship she can topple.

Katya is with Skye on this one - if there's a chance to fly an alien spacecraft, you go do it. So she wants somewhere and when that involves flying alien spacecraft.

Balthazar... wants to go back in time, to before the whole mess with Morgana and Merlin's ring. ... This is because he is the woobiest and dude I'm sorry I need to finish getting you through canon.

Glorfindel would like to go back to when Elbereth kindled the stars.

Bones really doesn't care where he's going, just that it's peaceful, there's good food, and he isn't called upon to do much of anything at all.

Somewhere with horses and mint juleps wouldn't be bad, though.

Simmons wants (so bad, SO BAD) to get a crack at the Biosci R&D labs in Stark Tower. Just. Candyland. If she's banned from having any form of lab be her answer then she'd probably go somewhere exotic and off the beaten path like, say, Columbia and go investigate horribly toxic snakes. ... Which.. means she got her laboratory anyway, because basically she'd be doing field research. *sigh* At least she likes what she does.

Oswin... wants to go anywhere. Anywhere without robots, please no robots. Or big icy mountainy areas. Other than that. Pick somewhere. Somewhere new.

Clara has a list, but is currently finding out that the scope of her list might be a bit too small. It's in revisions.

Blakeney wants to know what this 'vacation' thing is.

[silveraspen]

Some of mine have done this! For given values of "vacation" where the term equals "trip of some length to another reality/time/space solely for the purpose of fun."

Moiraine has visited a version of Rome in the company of Dream of the Endless and Faith Lehane; visited Twin Peaks with Dale Cooper (prior to relocating there); and has visited the Muppet Show (and separately, London) with Ace and Raven. Vacation on her own world? Uh, not so much.

Sam Winchester visited Neptune, CA, with Mac. Twice. Vacationing in his world = no way, no how.

Louis Hoshi visited France with Felix Gaeta, as Demeter's guests. Vacationing in BSG-verse? Ahahahaha nope.

Jack Sparrow sort of kind of took a vacation in his own world with Alanna of Tortall, way back long ago; it might have maybe kind of involved a kidnapping incident. Or two. :)

There are others, I think, but this will do for now - more later if I have time after work.

Alex Drake is two steps away from camping on the beach at the Caribbean Inlet. If there was a bungalow out there with a bath, she totally would.

John Silver, I'm sure wouldn't even know what a vacation is. If there was the option though, I can see him having a holiday on Risa.

Olga would love to get a cabin on the Black Sea for the summer.

Sherlock thinks holidays are about the most boring thing in the history of boring things. That said, Italy.

Vlad would kick it in Sonoma & Napa.

Vert has no idea what you all are on about. Life is a holiday, non?

[jackdaws_master]

Sherlock needs to go on vacation in Cabot Cove, Maine, sometime. (Also known as the home town of Jessica "Kiss of Death" Fletcher; Murder, She Wrote could use a guest protagonist.)

[lady_bols]

~so much facepalm~

~all the facepalm~

[sunbaked_baker]

Whyever would Vlad go to Sonoma and Napa? *grins*

[lady_bols]

Post-canon. Because he could never drink....

Wine.

Elle has visited a few other worlds, though I think the closest to 'vacationing' is when Axel took her to a desert, and that sometimes she'll go to X's world and do whatever. She's taken people to her world and done vaguely vacation-y things, but that's no longer possible, as she's stuck in one place at the moment. She mostly comprehends the "vacation" idea, but thinks of it more as either going to a place without a specific job in mind, or doing things that aren't Job Things while in another place.

Asami pretty regularly went on trips with her father (and when young enough, mother) while growing up. A lot of the time it was the sort of thing where her father traveled for work and the family went with him, but growing up in the city meant Hiroshi had also developed an attachment to the whole 'great outdoors' idea, and so they also went on trips to forests and lakes in the Earth Kingdom. His desire to be in nature didn't really translate to considerable... know-how about it, though, so a lot of the time this amounted to the three-and-then-two-of-them staying in a cabin, consuming a lot of rice, instant noodles, and tea, and trying Nature Things like hikes and fishing, and then Asami getting bored and distracting herself with a sketch or book and Hiroshi being too interested in what she was doing to scold her and then it's getting dark and hey, neither of you were watching the fishing rods, good job.

She'd love to visit other worlds, though. Avatarverse would be a really nice place to visit provided there's not a war going on, though a lot of people in the bar would ... stand out quite a bit there. And given Asami's point in canon right now, she'd be limited to Republic City. But it's a cool place to visit!

Katara had no experience with vacations growing up, but Aang insists on them, so she's getting more used to it. Avatarverse wouldn't be so welcoming in her time given that there's a war and she's basically a fugitive, but. She'd also probably be warier of visiting other worlds, but not entirely opposed.

Leslie loves work and Pawnee, and so doesn't take vacation time very often. In canon she's traveled to DC to visit Ben, to Hawaii on her honeymoon, and to London to accept an award. She'd be happy to take anyone to Pawnee to have waffles at J.J.'s and visit sites like... City Hall? The park that hasn't been overrun by raccoons? Something. But she'd probably prefer Milliways vacations because time stops so she doesn't have to miss work!

Manny used to sell travel packages, though it's not really much of a vacation. There's no real point in taking vacations in the Land of the Dead, and he's too much of a workaholic to do so, anyway. There are a lot of really beautiful places in the Land of the Dead, though, including the city he's currently in, Rubacava. But I've kind of headcannoned that you have to be dead or incapable of dying to visit, and that you'd... look really different there >_>

Marceline kind of does whatever, so she doesn't need a vacation in particular. She travels when she wants to. She'd totally visit other worlds, as the multiverse concept exists in Adventure Time, so there's nothing weird about it. And Ooo would be GREAT to visit! Best post-apocalyptic vacation ever!

Hiccup will visit another world! But he thinks of it more as exploring than vacationing, which is pretty much how his mind works. Berk... is great if you like freezing cold and yaks and dragons. (It's actually very pretty, but definitely not an island getaway.)
