Displaced 3rd Floor Party!, The Beach, Friday Evening

As announced by the posters that had appeared around the dorms earlier in the week, there was a party on the beach this warm Friday evening. Or at least, there would be, once people arrived.

The setting was party-like enough, at least. Along with a ~~lovingly modded~~ Bod who'd been drafted in to carry stuff around, Kate had somehow managed to recruit Jeremy to her cause as well, and he'd graciously (because he was still feeling guilty over his doppelganger having made Bod feel bad) offered his financial help for the party. As a result, they had a couple of tables filled with an array of snacks and drinks (regular, Viking, and Egyptian), and the darkening evening was being lightened up by strings of colorful paper lanterns stretched between a few poles they'd brought to the beach for this specific purpose. There was no bonfire as of yet, but Kate wouldn't mind one if someone else wanted to make one their responsibility. She was intending to get a little too tipsy for that.

It was a party, that was what you did.

[ooc: OCD up, have at! All students are welcome and won't be discrimated against based on their floor of residence, promise.]

It's a party, so talk to some people!

There are two tables. The food one has a selection of basic ~~moddable~~ party snacks, along with figs, dates and grapes. The one with the drinks has a fairly large array of different tropical juices, but also bottles of mead from the Vikings, and even Egyptian beer and wine.

Well, this is a beach. Just try not to drink and swim.

In case anyone wants to start the aforementioned bonfire. Or anything else I Kate didn't think about.

Whoo party. Like it said on the posters, everyone is welcome, regardless of floor of residence! And since it's in town (kinda), I suppose wandering townies etc. can wander by as well should they wish ~~to send Kate into a panicky/defensive mood about how all the alcohol is from places with no drinking age, SO THERE~~.

Comment notifs are off, ping me here if you need to!

Ariel loved parties; Ariel loved the beach.

So parties on the beach earned extra double love. Of course she was there, ready to mingle and have fun and eat and drink and be merry.

Kate, in her summer dress and 'Liz Taylor as Cleopatra' inspired eye makeup, was obviously around. It was her damn party, after all. Or organized by her, at least.

It had been a rough week, but she looked happy enough to be here. Though that may have had something to do with the fact that she had a glass in her hand kind of permanently.

Bod's glass was actually half full of mead. He didn't know how much of it he would actually drink or how it would affect him but he had promised to get spontaneously intoxicated, hadn't he?

He decided it was his reward for carrying things and helping Kate set up for her party.

Hearing the party was now going to be held at the beach meant Percy couldn't really stay away. It would have been criminal and he was sure Poseidon would have given him the stink eye if he'd been around.

So, he'd dressed in a loose t-shirt and shorts and was barefoot when he arrived. He'd probably get a drink and end up near the water's edge at anytime.

Yeah, Jeremy had been roped into this, but he was glad that he had. He loved parties, and he had a grin on his face as he picked up something to drink while doing some of that mingling thing.

Luke hadn't been to the beach yet thanks to some personal issues with it, but he couldn't resist the call of a party. He had no intention of getting wet but he was out on the sand wearing only his swim trunks 'cause it was warm out and he wasn't pasty and gross unlike other people. Ignore the fact that his tan just made his scar look worse.

He picked a spot to chill and look out at the water, burying his feet in the sand and taking the occasional sip from a cup containing the funky Egyptian beer.

Simon wasn't sure at which point he'd actually made the decision to come to this thing, since he wasn't exactly much of a party person.

But here he was. And right now, he was standing by the drink table, eyeing his glass of Egyptian beer with some apprehension.

While Alexander wasn't certain he believed any floor should be better than any other, his floor was the third floor and far be it for him to not show his support! Besides, he felt an obligation to be social, anyway, even if it did drag him away from his research.

On the bright side, some of the new students might be around, and some of them might know something about what he was looking for. It was a possibility. Just as much of a possibility as the rest of his work had been.

"Hey, Ariel," Kate said as she sidled up to the other girl. Seeing as she was kind of the hostess, she figured she ought to do some mingling. "You're looking cheerful."

"Hi, Kate," Ariel grinned back a little. "You're not surprised by that, are you?"

"No, not really," Kate admitted wryly, over the rim of her glass. "It seems to kinda be your thing."

Bod didn't know the other fellow near the food table but he thought it might be nice to say hullo. So, he walked over and smiled at the other boy.

"Are you trying to decide if you should drink it or not?" Bod asked, ~~deciding to give Kate an IC reason to ship~~. "It doesn't look all that bad."

Simon was startled by being spoken to. He really needed to stop doing that.

"I-- I'm not sure about it," he said after a pause. "I don't think the Egyptians have health codes."

Peter had had absolutely no interest in going to this party. Getting drunk with a bunch of ignorant teenagers was not his idea of a good time, but staying in his room and talking through the next bunch of essays with Val was.

And had been, right up until Val had gotten attacked by the misapprehension that she was clever or better than him. She'd snarked something about him being away from the party with oh so many friends, and he'd rolled his eyes and told her he was just being fashionably late because it would help him work the room better.

Now he was here, not dressed as anything other than himself, and with a winning smile pasted all over his face. See? He was totally here to have fun with you.

Or scope out any potential connections you might have to world leaders. One of those.

"I don't think Kate would provide anything that might make you sick," Bod said, smiling lightly. "Well, unless you drank too much of it but that would be your fault, wouldn't it?"

Kate stopped by on one of her many, many treks back to the drink table. It wasn't just because he looked nice and she wasn't blind, either: it wasn't like she'd been running into him much, since this week hadn't been good for going to the salle.

"Hello, sensei."

Oh, boy, a party, and here Butters wasn't even grounded, so he could go! He was a little nervous about the fact that, even if the posters said it was okay, that he was a second floor resident, so he had on a Viking hat just in case.

That didn't make him nearly as nervous as the alcohol did, though; he didn't know (though he probably should have) it was one of those kinds of parties. But at least since it was on the beach, he didn't have to worry about closets...

So even though Butters came to the party, he was soon wondering if he really should have, and was considering leaving. But he was already there, so he was torn.

"A little bit, yeah," Ariel agreed with a laugh. "This is a great party, by the way, Kate. You really can't go wrong with the beach!"

It hadn't taken long for Percy to end up here. He wasn't swimming yet but he was wading up to his ankles and just idly kicking water around. The waves lapped around his legs and he couldn't help but feel better than usual while he was in the ocean.

"I guess so," Simon replied with a quiet, slightly embarrassed laugh. "But I don't actually know this Kate."
