IC/OOC Post - Pike's Ranch Excursion
Who: Open to all
When: 226405.29 (Monday)
Where: Pike's Ranch in the Mojave
What: Horseback riding, hiking, swimming, eating, etc..

All travelers & Enterprise personnel were invited to spend Monday out at Pike's Ranch in the Mojave. Shuttles were provided from San Francisco to the ranch. There's about 10-15 horses at the ranch and Pike would have been leading trail rides most of the day as well as providing info about hiking in the vicinity. (His three favorite horses are named Whiskey, Tango & Foxtrot, but there are multiple horses fit for every level of rider from beginner to advanced) There will be grilled veggies & meats for lunch, courtesy of Captain Kirk and swimming is available at the pool. Leia will be playing hostess because it's what she does.

In the evening, there would be a bonfire where Pike might bust out his guitar and sing. Also, s'mores & stargazing.

If you're the type to notice these sorts of things, you might have noticed that though Leia is at the ranch, she didn't take the shuttles out like everyone else did. She's comfortable at the ranch, and as it's in her blood as a politician and princess to play the part of host, that's the role she naturally falls in to.

Leia is warm and happy, relaxed, even, here at the ranch, and she greets everyone as she sees them, asks if they need a drink, points them in the direction of the restroom, or the pool, or anywhere else. She spends most of the day inside or outside, fluttering between the pool and the patio, and she doesn't go on any of the trail rides, so sorry but no one will be seeing the general get up on a horse.

	Also, if you're the type to notice, Pike tends to make eye contact with Leia when he can, but is extremely careful to not have any PDA. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She might have brushed his arm or smiled at him now and again, but Leia respects his position and isn't really the type for public displays of affection anyway, at least not while sober. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pike is hoping Leia doesn't drink too much while there are people here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She won't, not to worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He enjoys tipsy Leia... Just not when other people are around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucifer was the sort to notice such things and he approached Leia with a sly grin. "So is this what you meant by seeing what your children were doing?" he asked, amused. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She arched her eyebrow at him. "I had a change of plans," she said casually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So I've noticed," Lucifer mentioned, still smirking. "And there's nothing wrong with that." He offered that sincerely, then looked over at Pike. "He's a lucky man," he mentioned, though he was rather pleased there had been a more specific reason Leia had turned him down. Or at least, he could tell himself that.

	Leia wasn't about to confirm or deny anything at all, so she just shrugged noncommittally and asked him how he enjoyed the Southern California trip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucifer shook his head but didn't press the issue. Instead he mentioned how Los Angeles had been weird and he hadn't really enjoyed it, but Mexico was nice. "If it wasn't for Hawaii coming up, I'd have been tempted to get 'lost' in Mexico," he admitted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Leia & Lucifer mirrorbright 2017-05-30 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Is Hawaii better than Mexico?" she asked, unfamiliar as she was with both places. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leia & Lucifer extraharley 2017-05-30 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Ocean, beaches, alcohol, sunshine. Hard to differentiate between them, really. I suppose I'd give Hawaii the edge for being smaller and less populated with tourists. Although that's also a disadvantage at times." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It is," Lucifer mentioned. "More so than paradise itself, I'd say. Hell, even this place is nicer than paradise." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
