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.

"I... kind of thought that might be a possibility, but I don't think any of my ancestors lived outside of Japan," said Hoshi. "You wouldn't happen to know someone named Michio Sato? He's my grandfather."

"I'm afraid I don't recognize that name," Tosh said sympathetically. "Sorry."

"Well, maybe that's a good thing," said Hoshi. "All we have in common is just a very common last name."

"Seems to be the case," Tosh replied. "It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too," said Hoshi. "I hope the island hasn't freaked you out yet."

"It has a little bit, but it's all so fascinating," Tosh said. "Maybe it could be an adventure trying to figure it all out."
