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."

i'm so sorry i'm late.
It's okay.
( She laughs a little, scooping the ball up again and cradling it to her stomach. Clary waits until the blonde joins her on the sand, tipping her head to the side. )
Confession, I'm really bad at this. I skipped gym so often as a kid. I don't even know the rules.

[ Buffy may have demonstrated an incredibly cheesy cheer move because it was easier laughing about it now. It wasn't anywhere near as vital a life skill as she'd once considered it in high school. ]
And hey, nice reflexes by the way.
no subject
And thanks, though I guess I'm kind of cheating now.
( Also, she's 100% not bothering with pretending in Cadelle when it comes to her powers. What would be the point? )
I had a little help.

Cheating? [ Not that she's one to judge when it comes to powers. She's got her own after all. She just wasn't sure she'd ever considered it cheating before. ]
Nothing wrong with using whatever gifts you got.
no subject
( There's something curious about her expression, even when it's a little soft. Some people don't like talking about those they've left in their own worlds. It's understood that the citizens get to go back, but that doesn't stop you from missing people. )
And you're right. What's a little boost. There are people here who are literal superheroes and I bet they don't think it's cheating to use what they've got.

[ Buffy's smile was warm, but there was a tinge of sadness to it. Whether or not she'd ended up in Cuddle City, she had made the decision to "leave" them. Xander and Willow were strong though, they'd be okay. They'd look after each other and Giles, and Dawn. As far as she's concerned there is no going back for her. ]
Seriously? Like capes and all? Because that's crazy. Does anyone fly? [ So maybe Xander rubbed off on her a little. ] And no, I don't think it is. But I mean, sometimes it's good to hold back. Just a little. I feel like there's wiggle room depending on the situation.
