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

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:

Wednesday Room Party Jello Shots!

Mango Sticky Rice
'Sriracha' Pepper with Indonesian Sambal
Coffee with kopi luwak

The Room Party is Open!

[[ Flying OCD free! Open to all faculty and their guests, who definitely would have received a text invitation at some point! Students will definitely have to try to get through the bouncers, though ]]

"And then some," Irene told him with a lifted brow, before taking down her own shot in short order. "Though you'd have been just my type back then. Military blokes were always the best partiers."

Which was not to say he'd wholly have been her type -- Irene had known who she was fairly young -- but that didn't mean that military men on leave weren't still some of her favorite people to party with.

"Yeah, there were plenty of parties and more than a handful of drinking contests back in the day" Dwight said with a smirk. "Though back then, it was mostly beer, ale, lager, and such... still is mostly, so probably won't be too many of these ahead for me tonight" he added with a wave towards the array of shots. For the best though, because no one wanted to see drunk Dwight, right?
begmetwice: ([neu] come on now)

Oh, no. No one wanted to see that, or would think it was potentially hilarious at all.

"Beer, ale, and lager?" Irene teased lightly, making a little show of looking impressed. "Really, my issue was that I still smoked back then, and there's nothing worse than waking up hungover and realizing how poorly you treated your lungs the night before."

So many tights lost to careless cigarette burns, too.

"You learn to like a range of things (within that general 'beer' class anyways) when you are with the Rangers. You get sent all over the place so ya learn to like what is cheap, fast, an local to wherever they shipped you off to that time around." Dwight pondered that other bit for a minute and nodded. "Never did get into he smoking, thankfully. Drinking was bad enough on the body for me."
