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 tend to be," Dick said. "And I'm confident that I'll be able to bounce back after getting bitten, so that doesn't scare me."

Ella was a little more serious when she answered. "That's a good way to be."

"It comes from the whole acrobat thing, I think," Dick said. "That drills confidence into you from day one. If you're not sure of yourself way up there, you shouldn't be up there."

"Right, or ..." She made a hand gesture that suggested falling, complete with "k'shewww" noise. "I'm not great with heights."

"Yeah," Dick said, cringing a little at the sound effect. "Heights aren't all that bad. The hard part is just getting used to them."
