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! ]]

It just meant that the Eye also got to appreciate how amazing Liliana looked tonight and you were welcome, Fear of Being Known. (It was, without a doubt, the Fear that would affect Liliana the hardest.)

"Why thank you, darling," Liliana said, giving him a soft smile. "And did you enjoy your massage yesterday?"

Anakin wrinkled up his nose. "Only after you have one."

"Oh, that wasn't even the worst of it," Liliana said. "It's like your...didn't you mention once that there were books written about you and your brother? And a convention?"

"I did!" Jon sounded faintly surprised at that fact, if relieved. "It was very relaxing. And my muscles felt better after."

Because it was impossible to be wound into springs when you were being pummeled.

"Whoever would have thought!" Liliana exclaimed in faux-surprise, before giving him a grin. "See, darling? I know what I'm about. When you can't relax your own body, having someone else forcibly do so is quite handy. I think you could do with some massage therapy, honestly."

Just think, Jon! Therapy that didn't involve talking!

Sometimes it makes felt like tye things Gladio and Liliana could agree on were few and far between, but that was something they would emphatically be in step on.

"Yeah," his smile went a little pleased and fond. "Probably getting the better evening out of the two of us."

Days when Ignis skipped workouts to be with her probably weren't helping. Oh well.

"Have Nell text you when she's finally emerged from the spa and sneak away," Liliana suggested. "I'm sure by the time she's a limp dishrag, she'll appreciate having you carry her back to the suite."

"Handy?" Jon wasn't sure if that pun was deliberate, but he was amused.

"I'm...not sure. If it's always like that, or...or if they do different sorts. But maybe I could look into it. Maybe."

He was making no promises!

She would never tell.

"Jon. Darling. It's a service that you pay for. It will be whatever you want it to be. Honestly, if you just go once a week for a hot stone massage, that's still miles better than what you're doing now."

And, Jon. Look Liliana in the eye and tell her you couldn't do with more relaxation in your life.

"I did have one," Stark said.

This was somewhat true. He had held onto one briefly earlier!
stykera: (awkward)

[personal profile] stykera 2024-10-24 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Class?" Stark frowned then it clicked. "Oh. Yes. I could see that being a challenge. It would be...awkward."

Good luck with that, Jon.

Game? Surely the lack of sunglasses in the entire province was a serious matter.

"I think it tastes better than the actual ketchup," Stark offered. "And the pickle ones are quite good."
deathsmajesty: Katie McGrath (Looking - O Rly)

[personal profile] deathsmajesty 2024-10-24 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
It was a shocking state of affairs, that was for certain!

"It would almost have to," Liliana sniffed. "...Though the pickle ones might be worth investigating."

"Don't you trust me?" Stark asked, looking exceptionally untrustworthy as he did so.

"Longer than I've known her," Stark said. "She's good at parties. And good at making people feel welcome at them."

Nervous boys could recognize others.

Relaxation was for people who weren't monsters! People who deserved it!

"I suppose. That is...that is a point."

Please, talk about something other than him! "So, um. I don't suppose you went to the crypt two days in a row."

Adrian was good at talking to people! Or, at least, he'd thought he was? The island was weird. But just standing around making conversation? That seemed much harder.

"She's certainly good at them," he said, looking around, impressed. "Did she do all this herself, or...?"

"Yes, well...yes."

Less because of the sex, actually, and more because of the co-teacher.

"I hope you're having fun with yours."

Anakin laughed at him. "Not in the slightest."

[personal profile] stykera 2024-10-24 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
No one could have predicted such a thing!

"There are plenty of other things to eat if you'd rather not. But I do recommend the pickle chips. And if they're terrible..."

Stark shrugged. "You can always get rid of the taste with some jello. The little leaf ones are good."

Darling, Liliana was a monster and she deserved it!

"I didn't," she said. "Yesterday was devoted to staying in the hotel and being pampered--" deservedly "--and today we went on the island culinary tour. Did you happen to visit?"

"And it's true I haven't whurr-whurr'd at Ignis in awhile..." Liliana mused thoughtfully, making a noise that might be generously considered a microwave sound if one knew what it was meant to be in advance. "I suppose if someone else is having some, I'll steal one from their plate or whatnot."

[personal profile] stykera 2024-10-24 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
"I am," Stark said. "We've gone to interesting places and eaten some very good foods."
stykera: (Default)

[personal profile] stykera 2024-10-24 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Whurr whurr?" Stark echoed curiously.

"If I get some more chips would you like one?"

He was already headed for the chips.
