Room 304; Early Wednesday Evening [03/04]: Summer (and Amaya!)'s Pre-Pub Crawl Jello Shot Pre-Game.

[somethingwithturquoise]

You know, Summer was feeling pretty proud of herself, for not only throwing together a (totally responsible adult) room party, but also managing to make all the jello shots she wanted to and still making sure to eventually give herself the time to go and fulfil a long-held childhood dream of being a mermaid (sort of; ugh, mermaid!dimension Summer was, like, such a stupid lucky bitch!).

And she did not skimp on the shots, either. She had Under the Sea shots and Shark Attack shots, the classic and classy Sex on the Beach shot, Pina Colada, Ocean Margarita, Mango Cosmopolitan...

...needless to say, there were choices. And plenty of leftover booze from making them if anyone wanted to just skip the jello part. If Summer would let them, anyway.

So now all she needed was people to show up. Which she hoped they would. She was kind of trying not to think about if no one did. And not just because Amaya had already started lining up a few shots with a thoughtful, speculative look on her face as if trying to figure out the quickest way to down them in a race.

For both of their sakes, she hoped people showed up. Please, save these two from themselves.


[[ posted here to save the poor evening thread and posted early because I have to scuttle off to work. Open to all the ~adults~ of the group who would have received the invite, though I suppose students could definitely try to sneak in. No OCD, just come in, hang out, have jello! ]]

Amaya's biggest contribution to all of this had definitely been cleaning up after Hurricane Jello and making multiple runs out for things Summer may have forgotten.

And putting some of the shots on sticks.

What? She thought it was funny!

But yeah, as much as Amaya considered herself a woman of action, she was more than okay with letting Summer take the charge on this one.

"Feeling better?" Sevarden asked with a grin.

[special_rabbit]

Amaya's head tilted curiously.

"From what?" she asked.

Because she may have forgotten that she'd actually been sick last week.

In her defense, though, she had been drugged with sleeping pills for most of it.

And she was also wont to deny that she'd even been sick in the first place.

[1000yearstoolate]

"From last week," Seivarden said, giving her a stern look.

[sake_shinigami]

Once Shunsui had a chance to sample some of Summer-chan's exquisite and unique little gelatin booze bites, he figured he was overdue on making a few rounds, and wouldn't you know it? Amaya was the first on that trajectory.

"~Movie Class-chaaaan~~ ♥," he sang as he drifted over, all robes and imaginary cherry blossoms. "You look like you could use some sake to go with your jello shots ♥!"

[special_rabbit]

You know, there had been a discussion yesterday about whether or not to specifically leave a certain number off a particular text/email chain, but they had decided maybe they'd save themselves the trouble, since they were pretty sure he'd just show up anyway.

Amaya took a moment to debate with herself, and then eyed that cup being offered out to her, and then the person offering it to her.

"No strings?" she ventured, just to make sure.

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden's excuse was to make sure Amaya was ok, and that if she was still sick she didn't start a drinking competition.

It was a good excuse.

"Quite a selection," she said as she saw the jello shots.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Well, that just means," said Summer, with a bit of a smirk, "you'll have to try at least one of each so that I can know which one is your favorite."

[1000yearstoolate]

"I actually have plans for later this evening," Seivarden said. "I can't try them all."

Said the person who was useless at pacing.

This sounded like a fantastically stupid idea, which was part of the reason Rosa was there, but she was honestly mostly there to keep an eye on Blackstone. She was a little worried about what sort of influence her roommate might be having on her this weekend.

That, and she did love a good pub crawl. Even on being headed by Baby Linetti.

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden glanced at Rosa, then looked away. Glanced again, looked away, then finally said:

"So, did you enjoy pushing me off a cliff?"

[died8yearsago]

"So, what?" asked Rosa, quirking a brow at her. "Are you adding paranoia to your whole..." She looked Hot Leaf Water up and down vaguely. "Thing? I wasn't even near you when you fell. That was just good old fashioned clumsiness."

[my_own_advocate]

"Detective!" Lucifer enthused in her general direction, raising his glass.

... What? He was open to conversation, but he was going into this with no other intention than simply 'Detective!'-ing.

Call him nostalgic.

[died8yearsago]

"Doughnuts," Rosa offered back, without even an ounce of enthusiasm or a lift of her glass.

Because she really didn't have any intention other than 'Doughnuts'-ing back. Not out of nostalgia or anything. Not even out of spite. Just out of the fact that she didn't really do conversation if she could help it.

Two of Shunsui's (shamelessly) favorite ladies on the entire island were hosting a party and a pub crawl; how could he possibly miss it? He'd brought the sake, of course, as well as what he felt was going to be a very interesting...proposal for Summer-chan in particular.

...to write this whole thing off as a possible business-networking thing, of course! Why? What else could he have meant?

[my_own_advocate]

Could you be fashionably late to a pre-pub crawl bash? Well, Lucifer was certainly trying his best!

He was even dressed, nice white shirt and blue vest and all. You didn't bring a speedo to a pre-pub crawl, unless of course you were in the suburbs and attempting to annoy a grumpy, gorilla-handed fake husband-- anyway.

"Is this," he called from the door, "where I can find the jello?"

[somethingwithturquoise]

"It is!" said Summer, beaming her response, but not, like, because she was pleasantly surprised to see him or anything, please. But now she was just a bit suspicious about whether Seivarden's supposed 'plans for later' were just an excuse to try and bail early. Which meant she was better off just trying not to think about it.

"There's a good variety to choose from, too," she noted. "Come on in, join the party. I'm glad you could make it."

Even if it was super annoying that she found she really meant that.

[my_own_advocate]

"Well, it does seem to be the prime location to watch a group of so-called responsible adults get completely shitfaced," Lucifer said brightly, stepping inside. "It sounded like a laugh."

[1000yearstoolate]

"There's plenty to choose from, apparently."

Seivarden was currently cheating, with a glass of unjellified cheap rum.

[my_own_advocate]

"And yet, I see you're not consuming any," Lucifer noted.

Okay so technically Kitty was showing up with Lexi, who would be taken back by Clint when she stopped being agreeable and cute, and if Kitty actually decided to stay out.

And because she'd brought a toddler on vacation, she could pick up a Jell-O shot and say, "I deserve this."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Truth," said Summer, who was not going to have any problem at all agreeing with her non-creepy boss, who, in a way, helped make this whole thing even possible.

"Though, I have to admit," she grinned a Kitty a little, making little waggling wavey fingers of greeting at Lexi, "a little toddler was not a part of my original vision for this thing." The smile went apologetic. "I'd have made her some normal jello if I'd have known..."

[throughaphase]

"She won't be staying," Kitty assured her. "I wanted her dad to have the option to come before he takes her back, and she does not need sugar before bedtime."

Lexi was trying to make an unsuccessful grab for the empty cup Kitty had, though.

[died8yearsago]

"Starting her out early, huh?" said Rosa, who felt she at least had to say something.

[throughaphase]

"All the time she spends in a bar, she might have more experience around this than some of the adults."

She looked around.

"Or not."
