FIC: Ancient Artifacts and Modern Rituals (Community: Gen, PG)

Title: Ancient Artifacts and Modern Rituals
Pairing: Community: Gen!
Rating: PG
Summary: From TV Tropes: "The Vacation Episode is a one-off episode where the characters leave their familiar grounds for a well-deserved rest. The vacation will invariably be set in a faraway and exotic location for maximum impact; given the higher costs of shooting on location, the episode will often be longer than usual, to make best use of the budget. A Special Guest or three might also be included."

Notes: Written for Yuletide 2010; thanks to my recipient, for an interesting prompt! Spoilers through 2x11, "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas." Includes a brief quote from Pulp Fiction.
Thanks to my betas sistermagpie and emeraldwoman, who were very speedy and incredibly helpful and encouraging!
This is the first long-form gen fic I've ever written and it was challenging; the writers of Community set a very high standard.

( Like I’d ever go to <em>Florida</em> for spring break )
