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.

"Y-You, y-you... t-that's just awful of y-you, teasing m-me like that..."

There was a smile somewhere under all the blushing.

Sam found himself smiling again even as Peter broke contact. "Do you want to go back to the party? If nothing else, there's like a dozen pies there, and it would be a shame to not make sure they get eaten."

Whoa. "So going shopping is just a walk in the bushes?" Soooo cool. "Um, sort of? The one I know is in his thirties, but there's another him here who's a teenager. It's confusing."

"Maybe this place will help with that," Ned said hopefully. "It's been pretty good to me."

"I'll try it," she said, going onto her toes to kiss his cheek. "I'm gonna let you mind your pies, but I'm so gonna find you later an' make you dance with me."

Cal's head was absolutely swimming and he wanted to just ask where, where, for the love of God, where, but instead, what came out was a much quieter, faintly dazed, "And I guess," he laughed a little, almost dizzily, "that if we're going to a party, we should at least, you know, stay there for a...bit."

"I'll have to take you flying one night," he said quietly, just to her.

"There's nothing quite like that."

"Now that would be a crime," Peter said. "We can't let good pie go to waste. Come on."

He headed back in the direction of the lights, looking to make sure Sam was coming with him.

"Oh, consider them very dashed," Helen said. "Eat your pie."

"Thanks," she said, smiling as she took it. "And, not really? But Blair does like to throw themed parties. We had an ice party the last time--we were in Antarctica and polar bears showed up."

Ino had been totally lazy and just come as normal. Gold wasn't her best colour.

"It's easier," she said. "And healthier than being down all the time."

"So when the island took you to Antarctica, you partied with polar bears?" That'd be skepticism, yeah.

He shuffled his front feet, because he'd had a specific reason for mentioning them. "Yes...Molly, can I ask you if you would help me with mine? I can turn it with my horn, but it needs clever human hands to make sure it is healthy and safe."

"Yeah, that's kinda..." Cal trailed off with the unspoken...whatever it was, realizing that he probably wasn't being very helpful, and, of course, it would be then that his mind blanked on something else to potentially change the topic to.

Summer nodded. "Definitely."

"Sure. Except now I think you're not really a teenager, and are just a really well-adjusted adult who's pretending," she teased.

"Well there are some things that have to be made," Dor replied. "Like armor and swords and such. We have some people who are specialized in the trade and the Centaurs also make some high quality item. It sounds very weird to know two different versions of the same person. I can see how that can be confusing."

"Yes, ma'am," he saluted with his fork before taking another bite.

Eric nodded. "No, I guess it wouldn't be," he said. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I'm still trying to get used to a lot of the stuff around here."
