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:

"I'm sure the others are fine as well. I know the pepper one is spicy but I didn't try it yet. But...avoid the coffee."

[sith_happened]

"Rory will be so sad to hear that coffee has been abused," Anakin said.

[stykera]

"It's before it's turned into real coffee," Stark said. "It gets eaten by an animal first. The beans do."

You're welcome, Anakin.

[sith_happened]

There was a long pause.

"Well that's horrifying."

[stykera]

"That's why I warned you," Stark said. "I didn't think you'd really want that. Even if it is meant to be very fancy and expensive."

Remember that in the summer, Anakin!

[sith_happened]

"Rich people are so strange," Anakin decided.

[stykera]

"Of course they are," Stark said. "Though...if you had ever told me I would have as much as I do know I would never have believed it."

[sith_happened]

Anakin smiled. "Oh, if you told 8-year-old me half of what I've seen, he'd think you were insane."

[stykera]

"Sometimes," Stark admitted, "it still amazes me that I have my own home to live in. And money to do things. And the ability to go to places like this."

[sith_happened]

"This place is ridiculous in the best possible way," Anakin said.

[stykera]

"Did you choose it?" Stark asked. "Who does decide where these things happen?"

[sith_happened]

"It's all very mysterious," Anakin admitted, "but I'm sure it's not the moose."

[stykera]

"The moose doesn't seem like he would want us to be happy," Stark agreed. "But neither does the school board..."

[sith_happened]

"But the board is both eccentric and not very detail-oriented," Anakin said.

[stykera]

"Then why are the details always so good for these things?" Stark wondered. "It's a mystery."

[sith_happened]

"Maybe Fosse has a secret love for traveling planning?"

[stykera]

"Maybe...maybe we'll never know."

Which was fine, as long as wonderful trips kept happening!

[sith_happened]

"I'm glad there's at least one good surprise that Fandom has for us each year," Anakin agreed.

[stykera]

"Two trips," Stark reminded him. "But yes. And this one was definitely a surprise. I didn't know I was coming until the day before."
