EVENT: LIFE'S A BEACH

EVENT: LIFE'S A BEACH


Is it hot in here, cuddlers, or is it just us? No, it's definitely hot — the end of summer is here, and a few miles out from the city, on the beach, the scene is set: if you’ve been able to follow’s Baby’s clues, they led you here.

The dress code is — surprise, surprise — beachwear, but do think of bringing some layers to cover up these beautiful bikinis and all, because the night could get a little chilly if you stray too far from that bonfire. And, of course, if you don’t want to be that exposed, it’s not like the dress code is a mandatory thing, either. (Just don't be surprised if you hear a few disappointed groans from the audience if you come all covered up.)

The first thing that can be seen is a BAR, with a large poster advertising CriminALES at its front. Like any good beach bar, beers and cocktails with tiny little umbrellas in them can be obtained for a small price — or for free, if you're suave enough to impress the bartender on duty. Nearby, SNACK TABLES feature a veritable buffet of edibles, ranging from chips to brownies to crudites and dips (all courtesy of Kimberly and Clary, thank you!). However, if you felt like bringing your own food and alcohol to the party, you won’t be turned away.

Further down the beach, dry wood has been piled up in what looks like an imminent BONFIRE; if you're a little too delicate to rest on the sand, don't worry — there are plenty of bean bags, cushions, and blankets. Feel free to cuddle up to someone familiar, or maybe a new friend, and enjoy the roaring fire once the sun sets.

Beyond the obvious entertainment of the sun, surf, and sand, your party planners have gone to great lengths to ensure everyone is ready to have a great time. Near the bar, inflated beach balls and other toys are strewn around, and the beach's VOLLEYBALL COURT is no stranger to a game or two. As the night goes on, there just might be a few DRINKING GAMES started — "spin the bottle", anyone?

Of course, a party hosted by Baby himself wouldn't be the same without the all-important KILLER TUNES. Nestled directly to the side of the seating area, a makeshift DJ booth flanked by tiki torches serves as the beating heart of the party, and marks the start of a large square expanse of sand, a DIY DANCE FLOOR cordoned off by a large speaker in each of the four corners, all connected by links of colorful bunting.

As promised, the MUSIC will be blasting until the morning, ranging from massive party tunes (no, but seriously) to romantic ballads for those who feel like a slow dance. There are also, strewn around, some serious dancing jams because what’s a party without some exquisitely cheesy songs? Later on, when there is less dancing and more lounging around, quieter, softer classics will be put on as background music. Feel free to MAKE A REQUEST (or ten), or even steal the mic and sing a little song yourself!

Come on down, Cadelle, and give the summer one last hurrah before it goes away. As the unimitable Ella Fitzgerald would say, "it's summertime, and the livin' is easy."

Bar

[Hux was already three drinks in at the bar, unintentionally dressed like an ironic hipster. He doesn't do 'beach'.

Glancing over at Thom, he gives him the once over, smirking.]


Well, at least your clothed.

[Yes, he remembers you.]

[Thom glances up at the words and finds himself once more thoroughly embarrassed by the debacle that was his first network broadcast.] Yeah, you're right... [There's a strain to his voice and a sudden pink hue to his cheeks that wasn't there before, he tries to make up for it by taking a longer-than-normal pull from his drink and just ends up coughing slightly, eyes watery.]

[Hux can't help but be a little bit amused at the man's reaction, and his face softens just slightly.]

Come now, am I not allowed to make a little jest at your accident?

[He tilts his head, quirking an eyebrow. See, he can play nice.]
sanator: (lxiii.)

[Thom just shakes his head a little, letting it pass.] No, you're right.. I guess it is kinda funny...

[Hux smiles.] See, if we can't laugh at ourselves, others always will. It takes power away from others. You have to not let others thoughts of you effect you so.

[So says him.]
sanator: (xlvi.)

[Thom seems to take that lesson quite seriously and nods.] You're right; its all about growing up, isn't it- I've been told a few times recently I need to focus on some of that. [Which was his own way of saying he was totally fucking immature but he didn't want to be the one to start advertising it so openly.]

I suppose; I confess I stopped considering myself a child when I was ten. [Hux sniffs.]

But I come from a very different place from most people. But yes, focusing on growth is important at any age.
sanator: (lvii.)

That's really young, I mean I'm still kinda a kid and I'm eighteen... [Because Thom definitely hadn't flourished into man quite yet.] How different is it? Where you're from?

We start training our soldiers when they are children. We have been in some version of war, or preparing for war, since I was a child.

But we are highly advanced; I control a ship that holds 82,000 people.
