Summer's Wednesday Night "Room Party"; Kasambi Estate Pool Area and Deck; Wednesday Evening [02/22].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Just because Summer wasn't behind the bar at Caritas this Wednesday didn't mean that there wouldn't be jello. In grand school trip tradition, since pretty much the dawn of time (or, at the very least, the dawn of Summer being a part of this school), she had spent the majority of her day getting ready for her big "room" party, although this time around, the term was being very loosely applied, because when you had a space like this, shoving a party into a bedroom on a technicality was practically a crime.

So after a morning of mixing jello and then portaling around to get other supplies (there may have been a detour over to Ethiopia, while she was at it, which she did not want to talk about, but boy, was it a good thing she had a party to focus on right now, the narrative could say at least that much!), she was now back to get things all set up and decorated with your standard fairy lights and something to softly, unobtrusively pump music into the air, with the jello shots and moddable snacks and other drinks all laid out not only on tables on the deck, but also awaiting in the water, as well.

Which could be dangerous, sure, but they had a nine foot tall shark man that could not get drunk as a lifeguard, they'd be fine!

And, of course, she'd dressed the part of a pool-side party goddess, and she'd tried her best to keep the jello shots in the spirit of the trip with local ingredients, and she had them all displayed with a nice little placard that she'd quick-printed:

"May I offer you a sarong, Anakin?" Irene asked, not unkindly.

Well. The way she phrased the question wasn't unkind, anyway. The pointed way she looked at his knees might have come across...differently.

[sith_happened]

"Please," Anakin said with feeling. "It was this or showing up in the complimentary bathroom."

[begmetwice]

"That would have equally been...a look," Irene told him dryly, before holding up one manicured finger. "A moment."

And, true to her word, she reemerged from her own room just a moment later, bearing something that was, surely, much better.

"Perhaps this is a sort of...coincidental revenge," she suggested with a slight smile.

Though at least the sarong she had for him was not polyester.

[sith_happened]

Anakin sighed and reached for the sarong. "At least it's not covered in cats riding tacos?"

As if Irene would ever pack such a monstrosity, Anakin.

[begmetwice]

The trick was finding an item that was probably a thousand dollars with tax included and had a cats-riding-tacos print.

It was probably out there.

"Yes, I apologize it's not more to your taste," Irene commented, handing the sarong over as her smile widened. "Next time I'll be sure to pack something with pizzas and Americana printed all over."

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed. "Just in case I have another wardrobe mishap? That's very generous of you."

[begmetwice]

"Only as generous as you are each summer," Irene told him, shaking her head. "They do make shirts without prints at all, you know. Just to put that out there before semester's end."

[sith_happened]

Anakin's forehead furrowed. "But how is that amusing to me, personally?"

[begmetwice]

"You'd throw everyone off entirely if you just gave everyone those plain white Hanes from a packet," Irene pointed out, quirking a smile at him. "That would be funny to watch. At least once."

The plainest of white tees. Half of shenanigans -- Irene included, if it hadn't been her suggestion -- would think it was a trick.

[sith_happened]

"That's an idea," Anakin agreed, smirking a little evilly.
