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 didn't think that," Sam said. "I thought maybe you needed space or something. I've never met a unicorn before."

"I am new to meeting humans," he explained then dragged one front hoof across the ground. "I accidentally scared some of them at the picnic, so I am trying to be careful."

"Oh. Well, I'm not scared," Sam assured him. "I was more worried about scaring you. How are you...how's it been going? Have you run into any trouble here?"

Jan perked up at that. "Everyone has been very kind, and patient with my questions," he said. "And there are no gryphons to watch for, and the dorms are warm and there are lots of oats and shelter from storms, so I can't imagine there being any trouble."

That got Sam to grin. "One thing I learned during my first months here is that everyone will help out if you need it," Sam said. "Don't be afraid to ask questions. Some of us really like questions."
