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.

"Smooooooth," Chuck said playfully. "You have to give him points for effort though."

"I gave him a new olive for effort," Francine answered with a small snort.

Chuck snickered. "You got lucky. Half of these skunks I've seen are so drunk they wouldn't even bother pulling the ol' olive down the shirt trick before trying to cop a feel."

"He was much more polite than the one that threw up in my purse," Francine agreed.

"A skunk threw up in your purse?" Chuck asked. "You slapped that one, right?"

He imagined that Blair would kill anybody or anything that threw up anywhere near her purse so he figured that most girls would react that way.

"I mostly just grabbed my keys and threw the purse at it and ran," she said. "It may be drunk, but it's still a skunk."

"...Good point," Chuck admitted. "I keep forgetting that part. The drunk thing is distracting."

"Which makes me wonder, who goes around giving booze to skunks?" Francine asked. "I heard that bar in town doesn't card students, but skunks?"
