Frontenac Suite; Wednesday Evening [10/23].

The suite that Summer and Stark had been given had boasted being "spacious and perfect for entertaining," and so now Summer was putting that claim to the test with her traditional School Trip Wednesday Night Room Party. Texts had been sent out to remind people of the party or to inform them if it was their first trip (with a caveat that if you were underage, Gladio Amicitia will kick you out, but that was mostly just a formality because, here in Quebec, the drinking age was 18, and she was pretty sure even their youngest students were at least that age now, but, either way, she was covering her bases for resposible chaperone behavior!), and then a good portion of her day was spent getting the jello shots ready, setting up snacks, getting other alternate drinks, and then utilizing this 'perfect for entertaining' space to its full advantage.

And, of course, all the shots were locally inspired and, when possible, locally sourced. You had
Maple Bourbon Cider, Maple Almond, a little French Martini, Honeysuckle Mimosas enchanced with local honeysuckle berries, an Ultimate Caeser, some flag representation, and, of course, the poutine jello shot.

(For which, oddly enough!, there were no recipes to link. Rude!)

The cooler was also filled with bottles of water, Canada Dry, and Puppers and other local brews, and there was a good selection of other booze if you wanted to mix your own drink (especially if you were pouring some of that Gus N Bru).

And the snacks? Of course you have your ketchup chips and all-dressed and dill picklers, and other varieties of moddable party food, but you really don't want to miss the poutine punchbowl.

So come on in! It was Wednesday night! There was a playlist pumping that had only Canadian artists on it (with an emphasis on ones from Quebec, but not exclusively because come on). Time for a mid-week classic room party!

[[ open party is open and flying OCD-free! Swing by, enjoy the party and free booze and snacks and please don't mind if I disappear due to being eaten by work! ]]

"Have you ever had to kick someone out of one of these?" Liliana asked, since she hadn't seen the school in its heyday, nor did Summer seem the type to get upset over it becoming a little rowdy.

Liliana adored being observed*, especially in her party outfits, so you go right ahead, darling.

"Yelena, right?" she asked, eventually gliding over with her...somethingeth...jello shot of the evening. "We've overlapped on several of the Supper Club nights. I don't believe I saw you at the last one, though. Not a sushi fan, darling?"

"You," Liliana said, then paused to do a jello shot. Priorities. "I remember you. You greeted me with a bit of flair at our casino party. I don't remember your name, darling, but I remember the hat."

"Prompto, darling, what's this I hear about your birthday?" Liliana asked. "I hadn't realized it was this week. I would have gotten you a gift."

But she didn't know and it was possible she was going to do exactly zero shopping this week for unimportant reasons, so he was probably just going to have to deal with have no gifts.

"Well, I'm going to have to make sure I'm on the next trip," Dean said grabbing a beer. Because there's no way I'm staying home after this trip and having to make do with a Tino cocktail. Which just sounds... depressing."

"I had to balance out your outfit," Dean said, checking out Liliana's outfit. "Otherwise your dress would cause more problems with global warming."

"The trip has been fantastic. There's a small problem with my room but we are working through it," Yelena said with a smile. "Yesterday there was shopping. Before that a spa day. After being stuck on the island with only your class to get a chance to leave it? It's been heaven."

"I adore sushi but I had to work late that day," Yelena explained. "I had to put in some extra security protocols for the gremlins."

Which is code for forcing them to make her a coffee order and stop working elsewhere.

"I love your outfit though! Fabulous. It's Liliana, yes?"

Bold of you to think he remembered to check his phone often for texts, Summer. It was currently on the nightstand in his hotel room, charging. Where it had been for the last day and a half.

"Glad to see the school trip room party is just as over the top as everything else school trip related it," he said with an appreciative laugh. "Summer, you look amazing, thank you for hosting, is there anything you need me to get before I settle in and get a jello shot and some poutine?"

"It's a good hat!" Adrian protested, taking the beer from her. And, fortunately, it was close enough to Halloween that people thought it was weird, but it was an understandable kind of weird.

He gave her a smile, one that showed his dimples. "And thank you for the blankets."

"Or you could keep me awake and alert," Stark suggested. "At least for now."

He took the shot though. Of course. "Very nice. And cute! And maple."

And not poutine flavored at all! Just what he'd wanted.

"I'm glad i could help. I'm always happy to. Even if helping means you have the opportunity to make... those."

He gestured vaguely at the poutine shots.

"It's not fate," Stark said. "I don't have to eat any of the things that are horrible!"

Sure, he consumed them often enough but he wasn't being forced into it.

"Good of you to come, Liliana."

"Thank you, darling, and correct on both counts," she said, extending a chilly hand. "Liliana Vess. And you are looking fantastic. I love those boots."

Expect to hear that a lot tonight, Yelena. Those boots were cute as fuck.

"You didn't need to bring anything," Stark said, but he grinned at Adrian. "But welcome to a Summer room party. Glad you could come."

"Don't mention it."

With a swift motion, Yelena snatched the hat off his head and flung it across the room. "There," she said, reaching out to fix his collar. "Much better."

Her hand lingered a second too long on the fabric, and the moment she realized it, she jerked it away, glaring at her fingers for a second like they had a mind of their own. She took a quick swig of her beer, eyes darting elsewhere.

"You fit in better this way," she added, added a little too quickly. "No one will think you're a Barry Plodder reject."

"I am not eating that," Anakin said immediately, pointing at the poutine punchbowl.

"Maybe I had to do a little student herding back in the old days," Gladio said with a faint smirk, "back before those lines started to blur as much as they do now. But, you know,gotta applaud Summer's caution. Better safe than sorry."

Did he sound like he believed even a single word out of his own mouth? Nope! Not even a little!

"Thank you!" She said looking pleased as she shook Liliana's hand. "The dead body I took them off was very compliant."

Joke? Sure! Sure it was.

Dangerous words, Anakin.

"You should try the jello instead!" Stark was pushing a poutine shot at Anakin almost immediately.

Anakin liked to live his life out loud, okay.

"It looks so slimy," Anakin said, making a face.
