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."

[ She's not sure what enhanced hepatic means but she does know the what her metabolism is. ]
I literally can't get hurt. Well...I can but I heal fast. Really fast.
[ He seemed more interested than freaked out so far, and Claire takes that as a good sign. ]
no subject
There's nothing like that where I'm from. If there were, I'd-- well, I wouldn't be here.
[That kind of just slipped out, didn't it. Oops. He's trying not to rely on trivia to get him out of feeling uncomfortable, so he goes for the next best thing: a fact that is relevant to the conversation.]
I almost have an eidetic memory. Not quite, though. Not technically. But I remember everything I read. Not nearly as cool as what you can do, though.
no subject
[ Claire figures he's probably right about there not being people like her in his world. But it's also possible they're hiding. Being different has never been easy for people. ]
That is really cool too. You could really help me study if I go back to college here.
[ She's mostly joking, still...it's something she's been thinking about a lot. ]
no subject
[He shrugs. He can see why. His brand of different is socially acceptable -- good memory, far ahead in school, a bit on the socially awkward side but nothing most people find uncomfortable -- got him less than great treatment at school now and then. Having powers or special abilities can only be worse.]
I'd be glad to. I miss school, actually. What are you studying?
no subject
[ Most of them hadn't known anything about it until Claire had done what she did. She still didn't know what the fallout from that would end up being. She just knew she hoped that people could accept evos as people just like them...maybe with just some enhancements. ]
Oh, I'm not sure yet. I don't know if I'm gonna go here, but I'm thinking about it. I was going at home but I missed a lot so I may as well start over.
no subject
Not knowing's not bad. [Says the guy who's always known what he wanted to study-- something difficult.] What are you interested in?
no subject
[ Maybe she could do something in the medical field, though she didn't think she wanted to be a doctor or anything like that, it was too involved. But her blood could heal people. ]
And a friend I made here suggested I could be a cheerleading coach.
no subject
Is that something you have experience in? I mean, probably, if someone suggested it to you instead of your more typical answers of being a nurse or a doctor.
no subject
[ She shrugs. ]
I don't really know anything in the medical field, but my blood heals people so I could really help in a hospital or something.
no subject
That sounds like a good plan. The, er, blood thing might take some work, though. Biohazard and all of that.
[Honestly, how does Dr. Saroyan handle blood and soft tissue on the regular without flinching. Vincent prefers bones, thank you.]
no subject
[ She doesn't know much about medical stuff in general. ]
Are you a doctor or something?
