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.

Summer peered at it. "Actually, I think it's looking at my drink funny."

"Ohhhh, yeah, that might do it," Hurley said. "Those things are kind... special."

"Drunk skunks aren't even the weirdest thing about this place," Summer said. "I'm Summer. You must be new."

"I'm Hurley. I see I still haven't washed that 'Hi I'm New' sign off my forehead."

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

"Been here for two years," Summer grinned. "I'm from Newport Beach, 2005."

"Yeah. It's not too far from Santa Monica. Just down the coast," Summer said.

"Cool. I would say I'd totally visit, but I'll be, like, 25 by then," Hurley said.

"The whole timeline thing is crazy," Summer said. "I can still say that even if I am used to it."

"I don't think it stops being crazy," Hurley said. "I mean, I don't see how it would."

Summer nodded. "You almost seem like an expert on the weird already. You'll probably be okay here."

"Are you kidding? I'm totally freaking out, half the time," Hurley said. "I just... manage to keep my cool, I guess."
