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.

"I knew it," she said, frowning. "I knew you didn't. I would hate to call you names because I'm not five, but I'm sure there's a word for you."

"Very new," Hurley said. "Hopefully that, like, new person vibe I give off will wear off soon."

"Well, we don't use money and we have cargo ships that travel at the speed of light or faster," said Hoshi.

"I never want to hear a dog laugh at me," Dick said. "So I think my limit for pie all day, every day would be, like, two. So if there's a lot left over, we're doing a bake sale, okay?"

Sam took a few more sips of his drink and threw the rest away before heading down to the sand, checking behind himself just once to make sure Peter was following.

"Sold," she decided to take the baker's word on this kind of thing. "How long did it take you to do this?"

Jan bobbed his head in greeting. "It is nice to meet you, Sam," he replied, the snorted softly, amused. "You can come closer, I promise I won't bite."

"I... kind of thought that might be a possibility, but I don't think any of my ancestors lived outside of Japan," said Hoshi. "You wouldn't happen to know someone named Michio Sato? He's my grandfather."

Turtle snorted, chuckling a little. "Yeah, only!" she teased, and shook her head. "Man, and they all look really great, too! Which one was the last one made? That one would the freshest, and probably better than the others. Not to say, of course, that they aren't all delicious, because...man!"

"It's fairly new," Sam said, not sure if she heard about the island doubling in size, and not sure if he wanted to freak her out if she hadn't. "I see you survived your first week."

"It's amazing." Jen was staring at the pies with unabashed awe as she spoke. "You're really good at this."

"That sounds exactly like the way I would spend a weekend," Tosh chuckled.

Well, Turtle was in a good mood. She stared a little at Hoshi and then threw up her arms, turning slightly away. "Oh, geez, Hoshi, sure! Just go ahead and bring that up again and ruin my night, thanks!"

She had almost practically forgotten about it over here!

"Pretty good. Still dealing a bit with the weirdness," she shrugged. "But everyone keeps saying I'll get used to it." Maybe when she was eighty.

"Oooh. Could always use the extra money," Ned agreed. "You've done bake sales before?"

"A type of demon," Helen explained. "We - the other Homeward Bounders and myself and some others killed most of them and drove the others away."

"I should've totally turned invisible to freak you out," Peter joked, guessing at why Sam had turned around. He increased his pace to fall into place beside Sam. "Don't worry. You're not rid of me yet."

"There is no right reason to take that class. It's all bullshit," Chuck said, taking a sip of his drink. "The sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be."

Jan preened and tossed his head, arching his neck to make his mane fall flowingly across his shoulder.

Jan could be a little vain.

"Not knowing what one is, I still find myself in agreement," he said happily. "Is there something I should be doing at this gathering? Singing a lay, or leading a dance?"

"No. Yes. No. I'm not going to ruin your evening."

Her hands found her hips and she glanced around, her eyes slightly narrowed in frustration.

"Yes. Oh my gosh, yes."

"The stupid guy on the radio's always mocking me for it," Mac grumbled, pulling a face.
