The Beach: Ramona and Kate's I'm-Not-Going-To-College College Party [Thursday evening]

Ramona didn't do it often, but girl knew how to throw a party. Granted, at the age of seventeen, she hadn't been to a ton of college parties, but she'd been to enough to emulate them effectively.

She'd gotten to the beach early enough to set up a couple beer pong tables, along with one for flip cup. There were several kegs of (really, really cheap -- might as well go for the full college draw here) beer, and nearby those, she'd placed an assortment of liquors and mixers. There was no bartender or anything for this party -- not only to fit with the theme, but also because Ramona was cheap and practical. See also the traditional red party cups she'd gotten for their drinks!

There were, however, tiki torches and a bonfire, and she'd sprung for festive little umbrellas to go in the drinks. Ramona hadn't really wanted to go totally tropical for this thing, but she'd dressed relatively beachy for her -- she was wearing a sundress, at least, over her swimsuit, and she had a little white flower in her blue hair.

She was determined to make sure Kate didn't miss any of that vital college experience. Because clearly, this was the important stuff.

[up early for sp and to accommodate time zones since SOME people live in like the north pole or whatever! all students (except topher) are welcome!]

And Kate... Well, she'd liked heteroflexible as a term for a while now, and it seemed to hold true. She was straight but shit happened. And it was awesome. That wasn't going to save her from some potential embarrassment later but it was awesome. All that softness was awesome and different and new-ish.

Which was probably why it was taking so damn long for Nathan's voice to register. It was doing it, just slowly.

The alcohol may have been a factor too.
vanillajello: (Laughing.)

Yeah, Kate only realized she'd heard the noise after she heard Ramona chiding Nathan, because she'd kind of spent the moment in-between just grinning at the girl and looking a little dazed.

And then she grasped they'd had an audience. Her eyes widened and all she could think to do was to cover her mouth with her hand as she giggled a bit, drunkenly.
vanillajello: (I'm into you.)

"Yeah," Kate said, oh so intelligently. "Thanks for the, uhm... party." Yes, that. "I should just, I'm just gonna go, you know --"

She made a slightly uncoordinated gesture in Bod's general direction. Yes, she should probably going to check him for signs of stroke or something.
vanillajello: (Do keep talking.)

"Oh this would be very minor compared to what's already online of me," Kate replied carelessly. Like a little drunkie. Her wave was less flirty, and a little more flaily. "So, I'll... see you later. Yes."

It seemed like a good time to bounce over to Bod.

Bod had no idea what to say or how to act after he'd just seen his girlfriend, the woman he really, really loved, making out with another girl. All he knew was that what he was feeling felt...really kind of intensely good.

He blinked at her and his tongue felt heavy. Yes, he was still speechless. And still staring.

And Kate didn't know what to do with herself, which was pretty obvious once she stopped in front of him, wringing her hands together and smiling still a little dazed.

"Hi," she breathed.

They were quite the pair.
therewaslife: (↑ | pretty good yep)

Bod started to talk and ended up having to clear his throat just to get some sound out.

"Um." He blinked owlishly. "Hi. Hullo."
vanillajello: (Smiling and happy!)

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-08-12 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Hullo," she replied, smiling a him, tilting her head a bit. "You okay?"

"I don't...exactly know what I am," he said and actually fanned himself a bit to cool down. "I'm hot."
vanillajello: (Laughing.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-08-12 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
"You're fanning yourself!" Excuse Kate for finding that priceless. She had a tendency to laugh at him, and it was worse when she was intoxicated like she was. "My God."

"Is that -- is that bad?" Bod asked, blinking at her again. "Should I...not be this affected? Perhaps I should take a walk to cool down?"
vanillajello: (Unbearably cute.)

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-08-12 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
"No no, nonnonno," Kate said, and actually took a step closer, almost smirking a bit even if she was still a little wide-eyed with it all. "You should be affected."
therewaslife: (→ | funny face)

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] therewaslife 2011-08-12 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, but I don't know if I should be affected like I am," he said a little helplessly. "I'm...hot."
vanillajello: (Thinkyface.)

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-08-12 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'm hot, Ramona's hot, and that was hot," Kate pointed out, "errrrrgo, you should be hot too!"

She was so smart.

"Yes, but you were kissing someone else," Bod said, sliding his fingers through his hair. "Isn't that supposed to upset me?"

It hadn't.
vanillajello: (Blah blah blah.)

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-08-12 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Think that depends on situation," Kate replied brightly. "I don't think this called for being jealous. Are you jealous?"
therewaslife: (↑ | yeaaaaaaaah)

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] therewaslife 2011-08-12 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I really don't know what I'm feeling," he said again, wondering why this was so hard. "I'm just hot and...picturing it in my head over and over."
vanillajello: (All amused at you.)

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-08-12 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Kate was going to be a lot more helpful once she sobered up, which wasn't going to be happening for a while. "Maybe you need a stiff drink."

For one, once sober, she probably wasn't going to laugh at her word choice as much.

"No thank you," Bod said, shaking his head. "I'm not very fond of alcoholic drinks and I think it might foggy my thinking right now. It's already very, very foggy right now."
vanillajello: (Diamond bright.)

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-08-12 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
"How foggy?" Kate wondered. "Should I take you back to my roo-oom --" There really was no reason to sing-song that word, but she did. "-- and take care of you?"

Possibly dirty.

"You're...very intoxicated, Kate," he said, laughing and unable to completely reject that idea. "I think you might fall asleep if I got you near a bed."
