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.

"Pretty well, I guess," Eric said, smiling a little in return. "Not sure I want to be at a party right now, but Blair's a friend," a bit of a lie, but close enough," from back home, so I figured I should probably show up."

"Oh, cool," Tony said. "I haven't met her yet."

"She's over there," Eric told him, waving vaguely in the direction of Blair's table. "Uh, don't take this the wrong way -- have we met yet? You look familiar, but this week's been so weird..."

Tony tried to think back. "Um, yeah, on the shuttle? I'm Tony."

"Oh, okay," Eric said. "Sorry, it's just that a lot's happened since then. I'm Eric," he added, holding out one hand.

"Nice to re-meet you," Tony smiled. "And yeah, dude, I totally get that. Did you see the unicorn?"

"Saw him," Eric said, his eyes widening a little, "but I haven't spoken to him yet. I mean, he's a unicorn."

Eric was perhaps still halfway disbelieving that particular part of coming to Fandom.

"Yeah," Tony said. "I'm not sure if he'd even let me near him. I'm not, y'know, pure, or anything." He shrugged awkwardly.

Eric blushed at that, looking away a bit. "Oh," he said. Ever so eloquently. "I'm, uh. I don't have that... problem."

Tony reddened. He hadn't meant to embarrass the kid. "Well, no, you're still pretty young." Never mind his own past. He wasn't exactly typical. "Um, anyway, how's your classes?"

"Good," Eric said, glad for the change in subject; he visibly relaxed. "Had two today, Chemistry and Phys Ed." He paused. "You're in Chemistry, too, right?"

"Yeah, the class with the soap!" Tony said. "Seems practical, at least."

Eric nodded. "Yeah," he agreed. "Which is actually kinda new in a class, for me. Most school don't seem to care that much about 'practical'."

"I haven't been in a regular school for a while," Tony admitted. "Took some time off. Not that this is all that regular, really."
