[open] gotta get down on...saturday

Characters: OPEN
Date: 9/7, early afternoon through night
Location: shell edge somewhere
Situation: impromptu partay
Warnings/Rating: warn in individual threads, if necessary

This is a party. Kara had the idea and Nita managed the execution. With some Green Lantern help (the universe's most powerful weapon? great for transporting buffet tables and tiki torches) a section of "beach" has been set up with snacks, a surprisingly good bar, deck chairs, and various pool toys--where Nita came by an inflatable horsey ring is anyone's guess.

As it gets closer to evening, the grill is lit and heartier foods are available, though the selection runs rather heavily to fish, since the ocean is right there and nothing can outswim either of your hostesses. That said, you owe it to yourself to try the grilled pineapple.

Anyway, you know what to do.

[OOC: Roll your own threadstarters, and remember to mark if it's open or closed!]

A. In the water

[This is, of course, her natural habitat, and Nita's as graceful as dolphin underwater, coming up from the depths in a streak of blond hair and green scales, or diving back down in a cloud of bubbles.

She only plays "Jaws" (hummed theme song and all) with people she knows won't mind being upended from their rafts or yanked underwater by an ankle, but no one who ventures into the water even as deep as their knees is safe from getting splashed.]

B. Running the grill

[When she got here, Nita couldn't cook anything that didn't have microwave instructions. Necessity and Favrielle are great teachers, however, and she's since gotten respectably proficient in the art of applying fire to food. Taking a grill shift, she keeps the swordfish steaks and various kebabs coming with only minor bobbles.

At some point in her tenure on the turtle, Nita acquired a "KISS THE COOK" apron, and will in fact cheerfully hand out pecks on the cheek if requested. Keep it friendly, though. She can hurl a car the length of a football field.]

[Erica has been on the turtle two days. She should be worrying about how she got there, how she's there to fight some Big Bad creature or something, or even just the fact that she's apparently from several months in Isaac, Scott, and Stiles' past and none of them will talk to her about it. At the very least she should be trying to find a job or something.

But instead Erica is indulging herself in decidedly not thinking about it for a moment. She hears Nita's post about a party at the edge of the turtle's shell, that Green Lanterns are offering to carry people out there, and all Erica cares about is finding a swimsuit. Nita is nice enough to lend her one, which is how she ends up at the beach in one of Nita's Atlantean swimsuits and looking more than a little pleased about how she fills it out. Derek's Bite is the Gift That Keeps On Giving if nothing else than for the fact that she can finally wear something like that and not have to worry about humiliating herself.

So, she can be found from afternoon to evening sunning herself on a towel on the sand, swimming in the ocean, trying all of the food (especially the pineapple which is delicious), and even trying to sneak a drink or two from the bar because why not? It's not like there's anyone who's going to stop her, is there?]

[David, unfortunately, cannot enjoy the food, but that does not mean that he cannot enjoy the company. He saw the network post from Nita and actually made a quick trip around the stores in Keeliai as he had not seen any need to invest in swimwear as of yet. He picked the most monochromatic thing he could find from the fashion choices available, a simple pair of trunks with a diligently tied drawstring. Nudity at the Bacchanal's wrestling rings was one thing. Accidental nudity at a party was another, after all.

David can be found in the water, rifling through the sand for things of interest, or perhaps just standing aside and enjoying the open air.]

[Stiles has on swimming trunks! ...And a t-shirt to cover up the rest of his body. Considering that the wolves he hangs out with seem to have zero problem baring their bodies, Stiles still lags behind in that respect. Hm.

He's hiding under a shady tree, because one does not maintain such flawless porcelain skin by spending too much time in the sun. (He turns into a lobster when he's not careful. Also, skin cancer. No.) And he's sipping on a fruity drink of some sort. Come say hi!]

Early Afternoon

[Getting a lift from one of the lanterns was awkward, but Korra manages to keep quiet for the very short trip. Once there she and Naga can be found munching on snacks, lying on towels, or at the bar, but mainly they can be found in the water using pool toys and waterbending. Her swimsuit is practical and interchangeable with her usual clothing.

Approach the playful Avatar with caution. She will splash. Repeatedly.]

Evening

[Once the grill gets fired up Korra can be found at one of the nearby wooden tables, Naga laying next to her deck chair, winding down from a day at the beach waiting for the food to be cooked. Occasionally petting Naga or firebending to keep the grill’s flame going, Korra is lazily (but happily) slumped into her chair.]

Closed to Bart

Kon hadn't even given a warning as soon as he heard about the party. He knew it was going to be good because Nita and Kara were hosting it, you know...one step down from him. So that was when he'd left his own suite and went in search for Bart because wow, really they needed this hang out. Would Tim go? Kon never thought of Tim as a party goer but hey, the invitation was open.

He knocked on the door to the suite he was hoping Bart would be at, not waiting before he called out.

"Baaaaart? C'mon man there's a party on the beach, we gotta go!"

Open

Kon had now been at the party for a couple of hours and spent most of it mingling with other people. Having fun and generally using it as a great excuse to forget pretty much everything. The day was perfect for it he could either be caught sprawled on in the sun, making a sand sculpture of complete awesomeness or in the water.

He doesn't bite, so come say hi.

[ One of the main reasons Scott was going to this beach party was because he knew Stiles was going and if alcohol was there, Scott really didn't want Stiles to get as drunk as he did at the Bacchanal. A very drunk Stiles had led to some very awkward conversations with his roommates. The last thing Scott wanted was for Stiles to come back from the party talking about threesomes again.

Isaac wasn't much of a beach person but Scott had dragged him along anyway, to take his mind off the whole Erica situation... except Erica was apparently going too. But maybe they could all have fun together and not think about how none of them had the balls to tell Erica the truth.

Clad in board shorts, the boys look around for anyone they might know. The sun gets in Scott's eyes so he uses Isaac's height to block out the sun for him. ]

Daytime

[Sabriel never could tolerate much bright sun without getting a burn, and had remembered to bring a parasol. She sat at a table, watching the party with a small smile on her face.]

Nighttime

[Guess who decided to mess around with the tiki torches? Some of them have started burning green or blue- even turning the flames on the grill purple for about a minute.]

Day

[The water may be a bit too cold for Vic to go for a swim but he did at least dip his feet in the water. There's also plenty of time to mingle and play around in the sand. He brought a frisbee too and is happy to toss it around with anyone that wants to play.]

Night

[As night falls, Vic moved closer to the grill and tiki torches for warmth. He made sure to grab some of that grilled pineapple, knowing how good it can be thanks to Alani back home. He's also considering building up a bonfire and wondering if they have the supplies to do so.]
