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.

"Most people do. Everyone makes things a bit easy during the first week. Not that it's going to get a lot harder," he added quickly. "Honestly, I think if you can make it through the first few days of meeting the kind of people we have here, you'll do fine."

"Then I think I will be fine. I knew things would be different here, just not different in this way."

"Things are definitely unique here. But you haven't run away screaming. That's a good sign." Sam smiled. "How are your classes?"

Lola nodded. "I think so, too. How was Lincoln?"

"He was surprisingly cool to listen to. How was Freud?" Sam asked.

Sam couldn't help but snicker a little. "Yeah, the people who show up in the Danger Shop don't really understand they're not real," he said. "So, you have to be nice to them about that."

Lola nodded. "I'm learning that. But it's a very interesting computer. We don't have such as that, in Germany."

"I'd never seen one like that before I got here either. Lots of teachers like to use it though, to make class a little more interactive." Sam smiled. "You're going to have all sorts of stories for when you go home."

"That's entirely possible," Sam admitted. "But maybe some people will be open-minded?"

"If I can find them before my father locks me up." Lola shrugged. "Or I will just make up stories to tell."
