As the first day grows late, the groups begin to make their way back The Realms for dinner. Several large ice sculptures of various creatures tower over the dining room, flanked by large buffet tables. At the head of one such table, Whorl sits, glowing with pleasure as he sees more guests and staff members trickle in. "Come in and eat up, you'll need all the energy you can get for tomorrow's tour!" Every once in awhile he calls a staff member over and speaks with them briefly. Some are pleased, a few chagrined, and a number set off walking quickly to the door, eyes wide with repressed frustration.
"I like to get to bed fairly early myself, nothing quite to lovely as sunrise in the Park, you know. But if you feel the need to stay up or explore a bit more, just ask one of our staff. I'm sure they'll be happy to help you in any way they can!"

Nadya had wandered in and gotten her food, she wasn't shy but she wasn't outgoing either. She'd spent so much time studying in school and now she spent all of her time with her 'babies' at the Coast that she basically had no real interaction with other people.
Even amongst staff she was very unwilling to share much about herself and kept very few friends.
The young Handler sat at the table and simply ate her food listening for anyone that might need her. She was trying very hard to keep her body language as one being open and receptive to others. In the end she looked like she was uncomfortable - as if she sat on a tack.

Staff Name: Nadezha Utkin [Goes by/Listens to Nadya] Job Description: Staff - Handler - Mostly at Underwater Center
Physical Description: She stands at around 5'1 with dark brown hair that cut about shoulder length and usually kept in a braid. Her eyes dark brown colored - they almost look black. Nadya is not very thin, in fact she has curves, and well built legs - like she could probably crack heads like swallows eggs with them. She smiles often and wears perscription glasses when she reads. She has a Russian accent and is very proud of her heritage.
Brief Character Profile: Miss Utkin is friendly and cheerful it probably has a lot to do with the fact that she deals with water creatures a lot - her specialty having been dolphins while she was working in college for her Marine Biology degree. Nadya never intended to stick around Wonder Park and wanted to persue her own research, but things happened. Nadya had gotten attached to some of the critters that she works with. She is motherly and protective of those she cares for.

Arriving at The Realms, Les maneuvered the SUV into a source near the door, and the it in park. "I hope you're all hungry. From what I've heard, the kitchen staff have been work all day." Had they? Honestly he had no idea oif that was true or not, but at it sure as hell sounded good. Getting out of the car, he opened the back door for Cora, then stepped aside so their guests could move past him and towards the wonderfully inviting smell of dinner that was wafting through the open doors.
When everyone, handlers include, had gassed inside Lesley followed. Now that they were there he was down right ravenous, but he couldn't just want away from the group unannounced. "Everyone's free to mingle amongst themselves, but of course, if anyone has any questions about the park, or the creatures, we're still here fire you."
Was it too much to hope that their charges would be content to eat and talk along themselves? Probably.

Melanie flung herself out of the SUV the moment it stopped moving. She hesitated when she heard Les actually address the group in a professional manner, and winced. Right, tour guiding.. she wasn't used to this. She backpedaled, trying to look like she hadn't just bolted, and saluted behind Lesley's back. See? Professional. Or sarcastic. Who could say?
"Enjoy dinner, guys! Hope you had fun!" That was about as good as it was going to get, with Melanie. She put her elbow on Les' shoulder, and watched for Summer to get out too. "Have you considered doing this permanently?" Melanie whispered up at Les. "You know. Tour guiding. I'm not putting my name in for the job, but you're a natural. You should consider applying for a full time tour position. I bet they get paid better than us s**t shovelers."
As they arrived Antonio craned his head to look over the building trying to get a mental memory of it, mostly for a reference for a forming story. When the SUV parked itself near the front door he shifted and unbuckled while flashing a smile to Cora at his side. When the door opened his attention shifted to Les. What a gentlemanly thing to do perhaps that girl talk had something to do with him? Antonio wondered for a moment just who Cora and the female guide thought was hot, then grinned as he stepped out with a shake of his head. Cora was probably being silly and he was likely reading too much into things.
As the scent of the food rushed to meet them his mouth filled with saliva. Something in here smelt wonderful.
Entering the dinning area further emerald eyes took in the glory of the massive ice sculptures and then the enticing spread of food. Wow. Hearing Mr. Whorl he turned to listen to the man catching something very interesting and widening his eyes at the information. If they felt the need to stay up and explore they could ask a staff to assist them? Was it really ok to go out when it was becoming so late? While he had NO intention of going back to monster mountain, exploring the Aquatic Center later, well now there was an idea.
Turning back to Les as the man spoke he nodded simply to him. Questions he had but he could save them for later considering he didn't want Cora to starve. Plus that wonderful smell from before was only getting stronger. Turning to Cora he chuckled softly and waited for her, "after you." Giving her the where should we start since everything looks delicious look he waited.

The weight of an elbow came down to rest on his shoulder and he looked down to find Melanie leaning against him. Which was perfectly alright by him. "I saw that," he mused, snickering quietly under his breath. Teasing her over having momentarily forgotten that they were responsible for a group of important people.
His head tilted as she suggested he go for a full time gig as a guide, actually thinking it over a moment before raising the shoulder she wasn't currently using as an arm rest in a shrug. "Probably, but I think us lab monkeys might make more. " He would probably still look into, just incase. If not full time, he was willing to pick up a shift here or there. Science came first though. After all, he got to make monsters. what was cooler then that?
She had complimented him though, so he offered her a grateful smile, that quickly brightened into a charming grin. "Shall we?" He distinctly remembered her mentioning she was hungry. "And maybe you can fill me in on what had you so flatter at the coast." No Mel, he wasn't forgetting about that.
Slipping out of the SUV, Cora smiles to Les as she nods a thank you to him then turns to glance at Tonio. Following him into the building, her eyes just turner into saucers as she so the ice sculptures. They were breath taking, and it made her wonder if this was what it was going to be like the whole stay. Her attention snap towards the front when she heard Mr. Whorl say they could go back out if they would like.
Wait....at night?
Was that even safe?
Shaking her head, she was almost tempted, just because she wanted to see more. yet, at the same time, she would rather not run into something that would try to make her dinner. Maybe if she got up the guts, she would go exploring, but as of right now it wasn't going to happen.
Turning her head towards Tonio as he chuckles, she smiles as she remember the conversation she had with Mel. this caused her cheeks to flush against as she quickly turns away from Tonio "Um...yea...lets go check out the food." moving over tot he buffet table to check out the array of food.

"Oh.." She'd already forgotten. That was why she didn't see much of Les, aside from today. He was a lab techie.. a smart guy. s**t.
s**t.
"Yeah.. yeah your job wins, nevermind." She sounded deflated. "I haven't even been down to the labs yet. I hear the babies are cute stuff, but you know how it is... always working." She sighed, wincing at the mention of her actions at the coast. "Maybe." Or maybe she'd stuff her face so hard, she'd never have a chance to say a word. She grabbed his wrist with her hand, and dragged him to the food, stopping at the tables and grabbing two plates. She let him go, and shoved one at his chest.
His head cocked to the side, and he let out a soft laugh. "I dunno about wins, but it is pretty interesting." Never been to the.. "What? Really? We're going to have to fix that. How about I show you around after all our nice guests go home?" He was taking as she grabbed his wrist and lead him over to the buffet. "The babies are cute, you'd like them. They don't stay babies long though."
A plate was thrust into his hands, followed by a command. He couldn't stop the next words from falling past his lips. "Yes, Mistress." Almost a purr, if not for the tiny thread of humor.
Nonchalantly, as if he hadn't said anything at all, he began to fill his plate.

Melanie dropped her plate, filled with potato salad. It crashed noisily, messily, to the floor, and she hurried to pick it up and kick the mess under the table, keeping her head ducked to hide the apple red face she was sporting for Les' efforts.
Noticing the flush a frown graced the mans lips. Was Cora sick and not telling him? Or what was the deal? Antonio had never see her this flush before or at least he hadn't noticed if he had. Just about to ask her if she was ok his mouth snapped closed when she pulled him towards the tables of food.
When they sat down he would definitely ask.
Grabbing a plate he looked up and noticed the tour guides together commenting lowly to Cora as he handed her one, "ah they must be close." He recognized that familiar leading around, considering it had just happened too him. Shaking his head he started to put a few things onto his plate. Picking up a piece of fruit he didn't recognize he held it to Cora, "tell me what this is." Obviously he expected her to taste it like normal.
Hearing the clatter of glass his head snapped and eyes landed back on the guides. That didn't look pretty, for a moment he considered to help but figured they had it. Turning towards Cora he gave a wince and dangled the fruit still insisting she taste it.

The sudden crash and shatter of a dropped plate made him turn, and be blinked down at the woman as she kicked the remains under the table clothe, face carefully averted from him.
But he saw that blush. He saw it.
Apparently he had struck a cord. "Problems?" Was that thinly veiled amusement? Why yes, yes it was.
Melanie glared up at him, disregarding how hot her face still felt, and gave him the dirtiest, stinkiest look she could muster. Then she picked up a new plate, stuffed it full of nothing but potato salad until it was a mountain, and grabbed a fork.
And this was to be her dinner, apparently. Because she'd had enough of being teased, when she couldn't control her reactions. It was easier, when she thought he wasn't being serious. She took his teasings in great stride, then.
Now, every word out of his mouth made her stutter.
She stuck her fork on top of the pile of potato salad, gave him another dirty look, and stormed out of the center.
((PEACE OUT))

Cora glance towards Mel and Les before she looks at Tonio, giving him that 'what do you think?' before she winks at him. "They are...close...." she didn't say another word as she starts grabbing things for her plate. The crash however, made her stop dead in her tracks as she loos over to see Mel on the ground.
Blinking a few times, she looks towards Les. What did he do to get that reaction, and can she learn it so she could see if she could get the same reaction of Tonio?
Tell me what this is...
Turning her gaze back to Tonio, she blinks a few times as a piece of fruit was presented to her. Arching her brow, she looks at him "Really, even here? I thought we were gonna be adventurous?" she teases him as she takes a step towards him, and carefully bites into the fruit then licks as her lips as some of the juices run over her lip then down her chin. Wiping at her chin she chuckles "Not sure, but its sweet...and good." grabbing a few pieces for herself, she grabs a few more pieces of fruit before stepping away from the buffet table.
She could always come back...

Those dirty looks were met with surprise and quickly vanquished humor. He blinked, quite dumbfounded by her reaction, and watched in stunned silence as she loaded a plate with potato salad, the another dirty look at him, and stormed out of the immediate area. "I.."
s**t. s**t!
Lesley wasn't entirely sure where it had all gone horribly wrong, but it had, and now he felt lower then low. Of all the people on the island, Melanie was the absolute last person he ever wanted to piss off or hurt, and somehow he has managed both.
How the ******** had that happened?
Dropping his own plate back on the buffet table, he turned to rush after the handler, jogging to catch up as he watched her weaving through the tables. "Mel! Mel wait!"
