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.

"Oh, I didn't mean to say... I just think it's a lot," Hurley said. "It's cool that you're like, that smart and stuff."

She flushed a bit. "There's people way smarter than me, but thank you."

Hurley nodded. "So, uhhh, yeah," he said. "This is like... my second party in two days. I'm totally getting waaaaay more cake than I need."

That just got a laugh. "Then try not to," she said lightly. "I mean, it's awesome cake, and Ned makes the best pies, but the key is just to, you know, stay away from them."

"Heh, yeah," Hurley said. "I know what you mean. But as you can see, I'm not so good at resisting the temptation."

"Doesn't mean you have to stay not so good at it," she pointed out, but smiling.

"Yeah," Hurley said. He nodded. "So yeah, I totally got a job today. Down at Groovy Tunes. I, like, start tomorrow."

"That's excellent!" She beamed. "Did you meet Chad? He's one of my big brothers, the biggest really, all things considered, and he's totally awesome!"

"He's pretty cool," Hurley said. "He hired me, actually. Like, didn't even have to fill out an application. That was great."

"He's good that way," she nodded. "Sweetest guy 'round here at the moment."

Hurley chuckled. "Well, I'm totally hoping to give him a run for his money."

Awwwww.

"I'm sure you'll give it a good shot," she said brightly.

"Thanks," Hurley said. "But that's just me, you know? I try to be friendly and stuff."
