Deciding that she wasn’t feeling quite up to a tour of the resort, Dratina moved with the majority of the group towards the Minun and Plusle. As the rest of the new guests followed the Alakazam through one of the side doors, the Dratini felt like she was being watched. Glancing over, she saw two ‘morphs looking her way; one was a tall and rather well muscled male Arcanine, while the other was an even taller and exceptionally fat female Lugia. Both were quickly out of sight though as they followed with the tour group. After nearly bumping into the rear end of a Nidoqueen because of the distraction, Dratina shook her head and kept her mind on where she was going.
Soon enough, the group was led down a number of halls by the twins, each checking names off of clipboards and directing people to their rooms. Any attempts of Dratina to start small talk with another guest ended up as only a slight mutter under her breath, her shyness winning out every time, so she merely kept her head down and followed along. The number of people dwindled as more guests were directed to their rooms, till Dratina was one of the last remaining. Finally, her name was called and her room pointed out. Breaking off, she took the offered key from the Plusle before opening the door and slipping in.
Shutting the door behind her, she let out a small gloomy sigh, cursing her timidity. When she finally looked up, she let out another gasp, this time in surprise. She had been expecting a well decorated room judging from what she had seen of the resort, but this was quite a bit beyond her expectations. A lavish queen size bed was against one wall, set so that the foot was towards French doors that opened out onto a small exterior balcony. This in turn overlooked the beach a short distance away, a few guests enjoying the bright sunlight and the crystal clear waters lapping at the white sands. Tearing her gaze away, she continued her examination of her room. On several of the walls she found large and fantastic paintings, seemingly of views from around the resort and the island. The bathroom was similarly decorated and included a whirlpool bath and shower combo.
Dratina hadn’t quite been expecting the resort to be so luxurious, especially with them giving away free invitations to it. The thought of how much the upkeep at the resort must cost and entail left the woman’s head spinning.
Pushing that thought aside and heading back into the main room, she found that her bags had indeed already been brought up; a large suitcase with a few smaller travel bags neatly placed against the wall. A quick inspection there showed no signs of abuse done to her luggage or rough handling; toiletries were all in place and not leaking, clothes were still nicely folded, and so on. She went ahead and finished unpacking, putting her clothes in the closet and dresser. That done, the Dratini decided to follow through on her initial plan, i.e. resting up after the trip out to the island. Climbing onto the bed, she found it to be just as comfortable as she had thought: soft yet supporting in just the right spots. Propped up at the head of the bed, she was able to look down over her body at the view of the beach outside.
She must have dozed off shortly thereafter because the next thing she knew she was jolted awake by a loud noise. She figured that she must have been asleep for a while considering the sun was now dipping below the horizon, making the sea blaze as if afire. As she tried to get her head back in order, the noise came again, and this time she recognized it as a knock on the door. Scooting off the bed, she groggily made her way to the door and took a peek through the peephole.
