The boardwalk, Friday evening

Blair didn't have ice to work with this time, but she tried to do what she could with the location she had. Luckily the beach was pretty. Besides, too much gold in the decorations tended to cross the line into tacky.

So she kept the decorations to twinkling gold lights and candles. Most of the linens were a crisp white, with golden napkins and table runners to provide pops of color.

The bulk of the gold went into the food. There were brandied apricots, lemon and chocolate cheesecakes, mango sorbets, small cups of saffron vanilla pudding, miniature stuffed yellow peppers, and any number of foods that followed the theme, along with the pies that Ned had made.

Drinks were mixed, but naturally included Goldschläger, as well as coffee and cocoa decorated with tiny gold letters which said things like "Fandom" or "Goodbye Summer."

Blair had staked out a prime table with a view of the water. She sipped at a passionfruit martini, listened to the music coming out of the various speakers she'd had set up, and looked forward to a night of judging watching the crowd.

She was also going to make sure nobody served those skunks. Clearly they didn't know how to hold their liquor.

Cimorene was mingling, a glass in her hand, and one of her golden dresses on. She'd rather be reading, but she figured a little mingling couldn't hurt.

Claire took a glass of white wine and a slice of pie. She was fully prepared to be a wallflower and just mock everyone until she went home early, but she might as well get some free food out of it.

Johnny showed up and helped himself to a drink and a piece of banana cream pie.

Claire kept a wary eye on the skunks shotgunning cans of beer as she roamed the crowd.

"Well," Helen said. "Here we are."

Johnny was leaning against the railing, drink in hand, people watching.

Mac looked up at her from where she was sat nearby.

"Watching them is a lot more comfortable from down here," she told Tosh.

Dor was never good at parties. Or mingling. Which is probably why he was talking to the railing on the boardwalk.

"So you haven't always been a part of Fandom?" Dor asked.

"Not until a couple of weeks ago," the railing replied. "Until then we just hung out and were bored most of the time."

"Aren't you a board already?" Dor asked looking confused.

"You're not funny."

"What?"

He was cute, even if she wasn't sure about the blazer. Claire managed a smile. "Hey," she said. "Aren't you stuck in sex ed with me?"

Savannah was there and dancing a bit.

Claire had just enough wine in her to feel generally warm toward all in her orbit, and she smiled at Ned. "Hey!" she greeted. "Did you really make all the pies? Because they are amazing."

"What are you saying?" Helen asked bluntly. "It sounds like one of the languages of the wider times, but I can't quite recognize it."

No hellos or niceties with this one.

Eventually, Claire spotted the bright red hair and went over to say hello. "Hi, Lola. So how was your first week? Other than frightening and strange."

Joan grabbed something (non-alcoholic) to drink and walked over to say hello to Marco.

"You look a lot different this evening," she teased.

His eyes rarely left her, especially given his mood after a few drinks.

Marco glanced down at himself. "New aftershave?"

"Yup," he nodded and looked around. "Please tell me I did not just see a skunk?"

Tosh nodded, giving the other girl a small smile. "That's very true."

"They are?" Ned grinned at the compliment and then blushed and then just ducked his head. "I made them, yeah. I'm glad you like. I liked baking them."

And Hannibal waved back, adding a smile to the greeting.

"Hey," Tony said. "Check out the banana cream pie yet?"

"They're drunk," Helen said bluntly. "But I think I can make them stay away from us."

Marco rolled his eyes. "Ha ha ha. I'm more of a blueberry kind of guy myself. It tastes blue."
