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! ]]

Ignis had no intention of suffering the consequences that might befall him for missing out on a Summer School Trip Room Party, so he would of course be there that evening, mildly judging her choices of wine, being mildly impressed with (most of) her jello recipehs, and dedicatedly ignoring the notion the the words 'poutine punchbowl' had ever been uttered by anyone ever.

Sans glasses, of course, still having, oh so inconveniently, not had the time to replace his broken ones. Which he may be starting to grow a touch more self-conscious about, but he told himself as long as he remembered to blink on occasion and keep a 'roaming gaze', everything should be fine and not too uncomfortable for everyone else.

"Hey Ignis, how've you been?" Dean asked, his plate filled in poutine.

Like Dean would skip out on a poutine punchbowl.

"It's been a minute since we ran into each other."

"Dean," Ignis greeted him back with a nod, and a distinct blink, and a soft smile, not at all surprised by the distinct eau du poutine wafting from the other man presently. "It has been a while, hasn't it? And I've been doing well, thank you. Yourself? Have you been enjoying Québec thus far?"

"I've got a butler, room service, easy access to good whiskey," Dean chuckled. "Can't complain about that in the slightest. How about yourself?"

"Oh, Québec has suited us greatly," Ignis admitted, with the smile on his face easy and content and actually perceptible. "The food has been truly fantastic,but I expected no less from a city whose culture lies heavily in the heritage of its French founders, but we've explored quite a bit of the native culinary culture, as well, which has been particularly inspiring. I'll have to make sure to stock up on some of that whiskey myself before we leave."

Maybe when they finally went shopping to replace those glasses!

"I'll hand off the name of the maple whiskey I found at a local bar yesterday to Liliana," Dean replied. "Local distillery that makes it. It's not a sweet whiskey but it has just a touch of maple. I'd tell you what it is but I can't pronounce it."

"I'm sure it will be quite safe in her hands," Ignis said, with a bit of a lift in the corner of his mouth. "And thank you, for the recommendation. I'm looking forward to trying it. I often find that some of my favorite drinks wind up being incredibly difficult to pronounce."

“Probably easier for you than me,” Dean said with a sigh.
