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.

"It's a good thing you're here, huh?" John said. "Somebody's gotta hold up the wall."

"Oh, hello," Viki said mildly, but cheerfully. "How do you do tonight?"

"Are they older or younger?" Sam asked. That made all the difference, as far as he was concerned.

"You're not going to be able to tell the difference," Peter told him. He reached over to put his hand on Sam's arm. He was used enough to turning invisible now that he'd be able to blink them both out of sight once he made contact.

"Not exactly," Naomi smiled, "where I'm from is hardly considered normal but the drunken skunks are definitely a new thing,"

"Hi, Francine," Chuck said, hiding his amusement over her being so flustered with a sip of his drink. "Glad you made it. You enjoying yourself? Drunk skunks aside, I mean."

Hoshi was really starting to regret opening her mouth. "He doesn't know what he's missing. You do so many amazing things with the store and with student council last year."

"I forget his name," she shrugged, then grinned, impressed. "How? That's awesome."

"Ha," Hurley said. "Your brother has a leg up on mine. Diego would just look at me funny."

Helen shrugged. "Maybe? It's part of me, has been since I was born. But magical in some way probably. And I am a cleric and magic user."

"Wow, you really are used to this place," Hurley said. "Santa Monica, 1994."

"N-Not badly, t-though the n-number of people is s-somewhat uncomfortable," she answered honestly, with a smile. "I d-don't think I've s-seen you a-around before, I a-am Hinata."

"Anything's fine," Helen said. "I still don't know what most of the foods and drinks are here. That... pie, is it? Looks quite good, though."

"I am new to meeting humans," he explained then dragged one front hoof across the ground. "I accidentally scared some of them at the picnic, so I am trying to be careful."

"Yeah, I saw him at the picnic thing," Eric said. He was kind of hard to miss, really. "He's... is he a student?"

Joan chuckled. "Is he older or younger?"

"Not lately but yeah," he said and nodded. "I used to live in a place that got a lot of snow. Sometimes knee deep."

Turtle gave Ned a bit of a sternly disbelieving look at a statement like that and shook her head slightly. "Ned," she told him. "I'm pretty sure with a selection like this, I can get over there being a little bit of coconut."

"Older," Hurley said. "He's back at home still, though he's all graduated and working and stuff."

Something about what she'd said landed in just the right spot to give him a shiver before he pushed it aside and shook it off.

"I think," he said after a moment, looking at her, "that she gave you certain things. Just as mine gave me certain things. But your fate is not decided by where you came from. I know that."

He leaned a little closer.

"You have..." and this was so deeply personal, so important to him that he couldn't even give it solemnity, "an Amberness that is all your own. And sometimes it's hard to define, hard to see, I'm sure. But I know it's there. And it's not anyone's pale reflection. It's you."
