Frontenac Suite; Wednesday Evening [10/23].

[somethingwithturquoise]

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! ]]

"I'm appreciating it from a distance?"

Weak, Stark.

"Maybe if you get me so drunk I pass out I'll consider it? For now I'll try the others."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I'll have to just keep an eye on you, I guess," Summer decided,"to get you in that delicate balance moment before you pass out."

She was handing him a Maple Almond, though, so clearly they were on the right path.

"Thanks for all the help earlier," she added, maybe unnecessarily, because it had been both handwavey and pretty much a given.

"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.

"Don't you try to squash my artistic spirit," Summer said, lifting her chin loftify with a toss of her ponytail. "My genius will not be restricted!"

She then grinned at Stark. "Besides," she said, "admit it. If I didn't make...those....you would have been disappointed."

[stykera]

"I would have been concerned you were ill," Stark told her before pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"And then, perhaps, a tiny bit disappointed. But you never disappoint with jello. Horrify and frighten and disgust but never, ever disappointing."
