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.

"No, I'm afraid not," Tosh said with a slight chuckle. "It was 1992 where I came from."

"Oh, you have so much to catch up on," Mac told her.

"I'm Mac," she said after a moment, realising she should probably add that. "From... now."

"Tosh. I'm good with computers and technology where I'm from." Understatement. "I would like to learn more about current technology."

Mac brightened visibly. "Then you've found the right person around here," she said. "I can definitely help with that."

"We're kind of lacking in techies around here these days."

"I would quite like that," Tosh said, her smile a bit wider. "I am a quick learner."

"We'll get you caught up in no time," Mac told her confidently.

"I'm in 416," she said. "Or, just come find me when I'm in the library on Saturday. I have more free time then than I know what to do with then."

"I'll have to stop by the library then," Tosh grinned. "I like books almost as much as computers."

"There's a reason I really don't mind having a weekend shift there," Mac said with a little laugh. "I've usually got thousands of books, all to myself."

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

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

"Well that's just rude," Tosh said. "I suppose he can mock me then, too. So you won't be the only one."

"Yeah, well I'm actually hoping they have the sense not to put him on air this semester," Mac replied.
