GRADUATION VACATION
Sep. 24th, 2019 09:40 pm[CLOSED TO GUESTS]
A: Arrival
The Admiral teleports them to what is, frankly, a stunningly beautiful planet. There's only one sun, but it gives off a soft glow, and there will be three moons in varying phases over the course of the planet's rotation, which clocks in at about 30 hours: plenty of time to sleep in without missing any of the day. The vegetation is lush and colorful, and the house in front of them is all graceful curves and glass: the rounded door opens inward when Ford holds a little electric device to the handle.
"Welcome to Gybraxxia," Ford says, holding it open so the little troop can step inside. "This property was built by a race from an ice planet, so they don't really visit this time of year. It's too hot! Luckily, it falls right into the comfortable temperature range for human beings, hovering at about 71 degrees during the day and about ten below that at night." As he explains, they're free to explore the house: all the outer walls are transparent, giving astonishing views of the valley that this home is nestled halfway up the side of. There's a river at the bottom that feeds into a beautiful green lake. Mountains too warm for snow roll comfortably around the other side of the river. A flock of oddly shaped flying fauna with fluorescent bills settles in the trees on the other side of the valley.
As for the house itself, it's built for creatures about a head or so taller than humans, so the ceilings are arched and lofty, and although most things are easily in reach, the top shelf might require a bit of climbing. There's a deck stretching out into the air (with no railing, careful!) and all of the seating both inside and out is large, round, and plush. Strange buttons abound. Who knows what they're even for. Ford, maybe? Go ahead and test them.
Bedrooms are along the same vein. At least, they're probably bedrooms? They have walls that are more opaque, though their opacity can be adjusted if you find the right switch, and contain mirrors and larger, firmer, flatter furniture.
B: Backpacking
Ford will be taking regular exploratory hikes out into the woods, sometimes up the river, other times toward a lake. He's sketching the plants and animals they see, as well as the more striking landscapes, and he'll be picking up a plant for Hilda before they leave.
C: Cutting loose
Who brought space booze? Ford brought space booze. Nighttime will find the group either out on the deck gathered around a luminescent cylinder that gives off a soft purple glow, or maybe out in the woods around a more traditional campfire. In the latter case, things have been brought to cook: the Mystery Shack, in both Stan's time and Ford's, was absolutely stocked with marshmallows. Ford's pulled all the camping food he could find, and it's all going to get roasted and eaten.
Maybe they'll attract the attention of a mysterious beast! There shouldn't be anything too dangerous around here, but on an alien planet, you never know what'll happen.
Also, if anything can get Wolverine drunk, it's the gargleblaster swill Ford's got in his canteen.
D: Wildcard:
Any scenario you feel like! Mingle among yourselves.
