You arrive at Athleticos, Competitus later that evening, and the four of you park the ship in a giant docking area, then head out into the city streets.
"Let's go find somewhere to stay in while we're here." You walk towards the main streets of Athleticos, the girls following behind.
"Why can't we stay with the ship?" Flashfire asks.
"The hotels are closer," you explain. "We can get to the tournament sign-ups sooner if we stay in one of them."
You enter inside the lobby of a nice looking hotel, and talk about your room arrangements.
"We should just get one room," Nuh says, "it'll be less costly."
"And maybe get two beds," Blackfire says. "One for Saffire, Nuh, and myself, and one for Flashfire."
"A queen-sized be, all to myself..." Flashfire begins to fantasize. "Sounds marvelous..." Then she looks at the three of you. "So long as you three don't do any of 'that'!"
"Well, then maybe we should change it around?" Nuh says. "Blackfire and I can stay in one bed, while Saffire and Flashfire are in another. That way, he won't want to do 'that'."
"Saffire," Blackfire asks, "what do you think the sleeping arrangements should be?"
"I've got it!" you say. "We'll push both beds together, and all sleep in a super bed!"
Nuh and Blackfire have looks of surprise on their faces, but Flashfire is excited.
"That's a great idea, brother!" she exclaims.
And with that, you ask the front desk for a bedroom with two beds and one bath. They hand you the keycard, and you and the girls ride the elevator up.
Once inside, you all set down your things and push the two beds together.
"Oh shoot," Flashfire says. "We still need to figure out which SIDE of the bed we sleep on..."
You smack your face with your palm.
"It doesn't matter, so long as Blackfire and I are near each other, and I am somewhere near the middle of the bed. After that, you and Nuh can figure out who to sleep next to."
You pick up the receiver of a fancy ivory phone, and put it to your ear.
"Hello, room service?" you ask politely. "What do you have for dinner tonight?"
