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."

scott mccall | open.
(well, until allison. but everything's changed since she came in to his life.)
most of his time is spent wandering around, trying to make it at least look like he fits in. wearings shorts and a t-shirt, he at least looks the part. though given how he's quietly watching everybody, it may not be quite as smooth an attempt as he'd hoped. he sticks to soda for the evening, solely because it's what he's used to. sure, he and stiles may have snuck a drink of alcohol or two before, but without his best friend there with him, he doesn't see a reason to start drinking now. (never mind the fact that alcohol wouldn't have any effect on him. but he doesn't know about that yet.)
when it eventually starts getting darker, scott finds himself a place by a bonfire, doing his best not to cringe at the smell of burning wood. the music playing nearby is a distraction though, his smile widening each time a familiar song is cued up. heading to the dance floor may not be in his future, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy the music regardless.]
no subject
He does end up near the bonfire after a time, though, sitting by himself as he watches the flames. The last time he had been near one, it had been when he had first met Simon--that seemed ages ago, really.
Seeing someone else by themselves, he waves at them awkwardly, trying to get their attention.]
Uh--nice party, right?
[Not a bad way to start a conversation, right?]
