RP: Vacation
Who: Everyone
Where: Cars, Inn
When: August 12, 2011
Summary: A road trip and arrival at the Inn

Getting twenty-eight people with different ideas about what a vacation should be ready to leave was not as easy as it sounded. Derek was pretty sure that Garcia had robbed a shoe store and planned to take it with her even though they were going to be away only two days. He wouldn't be surprised if Hanna's luggage included a few semi automatics. So yes, different styles, different priorities.

To avoid any discussions, he and Callen divided people by car, and even rented extras so they wouldn't be squeezed into four cars. They handed out keys and rosters. "You've read the email. If you get there, check in. Use your aliases," Derek reminded everyone.

Hanna stepped forward. "Everyone should be carrying their badge and their issued gun. That doesn't mean that you have it in your suitcase or you bag. It should be on you: back holster or ankle holster. Ladies, use clothes that will let you wear one. When we are there, at the pool or anywhere you're not wearing one, make sure someone else has one and that you still have your gun within reach and where no one can steal it. Also if you have a spare, carry that too."

Derek would never get used to that sort of warnings, not that he didn't carry all the time, but seeing Garcia or Nell with a gun just felt wrong, but he knew that it was inevitable. "You heard the man. Now, let's go, and hopefully we can get there before dark."

"My first roommate in college was all into the occult and magic and stuff. She made a fascinating study for my psych classes." So, maybe she'd go on one of her verbal jaunts after all. Intelligent conversation made it all too easy. "But, she had like a million decks of tarot cards. Some of the artwork was awesome. But, I couldn't see that there was any appreciable difference in her 'readings' between Merlin's Tarot and Rider Waite and the Gnothic Deck and Witches' Tarot. She swore it did, though. Even put some of the cards up on the walls on her side of the room. That was when I looked up their history. Never knew anyone who could play any of the games, though. Just fortune telling." Which Nell held less than no stock in. A pack of cards was not outlining her future.

Laughing softly as he pulled the folded card from behind her ear, Nell took the card and, sure enough, "Ace of Clubs. Yep, that's it. A nice bit of legerdemain, Agent Reid. How long have you been practicing card tricks?" she asked, handing the card back to him with a smile.

They'd worked on some cases with occult type themes, but had always found that in the end they don't actually have anything to do with people who truly believed in that kind of thing. "I don't believe in tarot or real magic, but there's fun in pretend magic." He said, looking down at his cards. He thought it was just as likely these playing cards could tell his future than the tarot cards people seem so invested in. "People believe in all kinds of things, some people wear a cross around their neck and some, apparently, keep tarot cards on their walls," he said with a smile.

Seeing her laugh made Reid grin and he put the cards away into his pocket, including the now bent one. "I think you mean a nice bit of magic," he said with a laugh. "As long as I can remember, I like illusion," Reid admitted, reaching into his pocket for a coin. "Cards are good, but I like prestidigitation better," he said, rolling the coin across his knuckles and then making it vanish again.
