What AJ failed to realize however, as De finished up the paperwork and luggage was stuffed into the midsized minivan he'd rented for the week, is that jets did in fact go missing every day. At least, in this part of the province. Mr. Niles was just about to settle into the driver's seat to begin chaffeuring everyone about the city and towards the hotel when Chandi uncerimoniously grabbed him by the collar and pulled him away from the wheel. It was her first time back in a while as well, and it's had been far to long since she'd had the chance to drive on the right side of the road.
The consequent drive to the hotel wasn't as direct as De would have made it, but that turned out to be a good thing, allowing everyone some time to chat as they peered out the windows at a variety of shops, store, clubs, and a few places of ill repute. AJ's concern that some of her kind might be behind the disapperaing act their jet had pulled threated to distract her from the fun filled times she'd come to Austraila, but were calmed a bit after Kei asked if they should be at all concerned with getting the plane back.
"Not really. More 'en likely it'll be there when it's time for us to leave, and if not I can call a bloke or two over in Fairytales to look into it for us. But this kind of thing happens all the time. Local tixies playin' pranks on the tourists."
There were quite a few bars and clubs that lit up the dark night streets on the way to the hotel that enticed the passengers, but luggage had to be put up before they could head out for the evening. Normally De would have offered to hole them all up in flat, but given the size of his flat and the number of people involved it would have been much to cramped to afford any comfort. Plus, the hotel he'd choosen was much closer to to the beach than his place, and would give them a place to crash after a hard night of clubbing that he wouldn't have to clean up in the mourning.
The trip was planned on short notice, and the rooms on even shorter notice, so while five of the Guardians had made thier way to the land down under, only three rooms were availible, each with a single bed. Something De forgot to mention until the arrived in the lobby.
"No sweat luvs. If need be I'd be glad to take one of you home with me for the night. Just until proper sleeping arrangements can be worked out of course."
