Seasons in the Sun

[Dracos]

~Well, that's what happened., Bjorn.  I was surprised too, but I can think of enough reasons why not to bother.  Anyhow, I'm all for getting moving.  Love mountain hiking.  We should probably get a bit of gear, water bottles and the like for the trip up though.  And I have no idea where I'm going to store my comp.  Got any extra room in the bag, Rezzie?~

Dracos idly typed up an email.

Huitz:
Paul is dimly aware there are brain-phone voices passing through his mind, but doesn't really notice them; he's caught the massive, titanic sight of the rock at sunset through the window and is now staring at it rather vacantly.

[Dracos]

Ginrai:
~One question, guys - did you bring all of our items with you and if so can I have my pipe? Other than that I'm all ready to get to the top of the mountain!~

[Dracos]

Dracos:
~I am never tearing a pipe out of a wall for you again, Clingy Mc Clingster.~

Dracos

[Dracos]

Bjorn:
We're not hiking to the top of the mountain, we're taking the cable car or a bus, whichever is faster. And you can't have your goddamn pipe, because we're in the middle of a fucking city, and inconspicuous people do not walk around waving plumbing.

Taking one last sip from his water, Bjorn stands and heads for the door. I'll be waiting just outside. Finish up whatever the hell you're doing, and let's get going.

[Dracos]

Dracos:
~Awww, but that's the boring way.~

Dracos waited a few minutes and then followed.

Rezantis:
Grunting, Nathan pushed away from the computer (after logging out), and frowned.

Over Bjorn.net, he says, We need copper coins to pay the boatman.

[Dracos]

Huitzil:
<Huh what? Where are we going, now? I thought we shouldn't go to the Rock until tomorrow, after we've rested and had a good meal.>

[Dracos]

Dracos:
~Hum. Dunno, might be safer to just go. Wait, Boatman? I know of only one 'boatman' that takes coins, and I thought it was gold personally. What did you hear Rez? Spill.~

Dracos

[Dracos]

Ginrai:
~That's true. Rez, I'll ask for the pipe later on.~ Ginrai follows the others outside.

[Dracos]

Bjorn:
We're going to Hell, Bjorn supplies, flatly. Metaphorically or not, it probably won't make a difference when we get there.

As for waiting... everyone and their Illuminati grandmaster knows that we're coming to Gibraltar. Let's not give them any more chance to stop us. Besides, I tend to suspect that food and sleep are going to be irrelevant where we're going.

[Dracos]

Dracos:
~Fair enough. Let's see though if we can find an old coin shop around to pick up some copper coins. Be safer that way if thats what the oracle passes on. And I sincerely hope this Hades then doesn't keep the 'eat and stay here forever' premise.~

Bjorn:

If I wasn't in favour of stopping for lunch first, I'm sure as hell not in favour of going antique shopping. A penny is a copper coin, especially anything before 1990.

[Dracos]

Dracos:
~I know, eeh...what the hell. Let's get moving. For better or worse we can always try and improvise.~

Dracos looked around for a bus/cablecar/whatever to get to the top of gibraltar.

Brian:
The cable-car becomes one-way after sunset, only returning tourists from the peak of the mountain.

But, they advertize two bus routes that go out after sunset -- one to Europa point (and the lighthouse) and one to the summit.

It should come by in about fifteen minutes, if you choose to take it.
