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.

"...Radio." Marco informed her. "It was a talking cat."

Joan blinked. "You were on the radio with a talking cat? What did you talk about?"

"Stuff that happened at Fandom? It's on every night." Marco also told her the station she could tune to.

Oh great. That's just what Joan needed. "Well that's good to know. I'll have to tune in tonight."

"Awesome!" Marco paused. "I don't work on radio anymore. Except when the mun free lances as a squirrel."

"So what do you do for fun around here? Besides hang out as a chimp?" Joan asked.

"Well...tormenting Turtle, but that's a personal thing. Watch TV, play video games..."

"Turtle... that's who I'm supposed to tell that you're cute, right?"

Marco beamed. "Yup!"

"And she's not really a turtle, right?" Joan clarified.

"I never asked." Marco said.

Joan laughed. "Well, I'll have to try to find her at some point."

"She's the one who might kick you in the shins."

Re: Eat and/or drink!

"What?" Joan blinked. "Why would she do that?"

Re: Eat and/or drink!

[identity profile] morpherboy.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Marco shrugged. "It's her thing."

"Is she going to kick me if I say that you're cute?" Joan asked. "Or is she, like, a bitter ex-girlfriend or something?"

Marco nearly fell over from laughter.

Joan watched him in confusion.

"Def-" Marco said, still laughing. "Definitely not."

"Okay," Joan said with a shrug. "I'm not sure why that's so funny though."

"Many, many years of back story." Marco informed her, still trying to stop laughing.

"I'll take your word for it," Joan said.
