ɪ. ᴡᴇʟᴄᴏᴍᴇ

Congratulations, you've made it to the Good Harbor Beach September barbecue! With the weather cooling, but still pleasant enough, it's a pleasure to have a hangout involving ADI's residents and those who live at Bonnie's. There are still so many people who don't know one another, and many to strengthen bonds with, so the hours your dearest Wanda and Ren spend cooking and flipping and seasoning are nothing but rewarding! Seeing people enjoying themselves is great and it's motivating for them to keep doing these encounters every now and then.

On the menu, we have:
- Burgers;
- Steaks with jacked potato sides;
- Ribs;
- Zucchini-and-Pecorino fritters;
- Several different salads, including ovcharska;
- Aubergine kebabs with charred onion salsa;
- Salmon yakitori;
- Takoyaki;
- Cupcakes
- Apples and honey;
- Cherry dumplings;
- Sarmale filled with rice;
- Bundevara (pumpkin pie);


For drinks, there's a selection of alcohol, as well as coffee, water, tea, and a variety of sodas. Take in the nice view, jump on the ocean, sink your toes in the sand and enjoy yourselves. There aren't any usable tables, but there are several blankets on the floor for your perusal.

With bellies full, now it's when the real fun begins. There are a few decks of cards being passed around, as well as one of their single tables now organized to a beer-pong competition. Individually, games such as Never Have I Ever, as well as Truth or Dare can be seen, and those who wish to use their skills for entertaining are more than welcome to do so.

A little bonding here, a little drunken chatting there, this is your time to shine!

With those who have a curfew to worry about in mind, a bonfire is lit, and a few tents are set around the beach (may have to be shared). If anyone's got a nice story, now it's the time to share it, or perhaps if anyone can play an instrument, it's about time to break it out of its case. The night will be lively until the early hours of the morning, and of course, mindful of those who couldn't stay up this late.

The next morning, everyone will be properly thanked for their attendance and tupperwares will be distributed with leftovers for those who'd like to take some food home, the beach will be cleaned impeccably and everyone will go their own way, hopefully with smiles and a new sense of unity and connection from the amazing night they've just experienced.

[She laughs a little under her breath.]

I'm familiar with the tactic. It helps if they think there's no point in asking. People don't tend to ask if you're okay when you're basking in how "perfect" your life is.

I've sort of missed the boat on that one here, though.

[henchgal]

I think we all have. Being stuck here means everyone knows everyone's got at least One Big Problem, right?

[She turns around to face Aelwyn.]

You don't need to feel responsible for me.

[aelwyn_aberration]

... I don't. [It's true, by and large. She doesn't really feel responsible for anyone. Or she tries really hard not to.]

You can make your own choices. I just wanted to check up on you. You did buy me funnel cake. Besides, there's nothing more depressing than being miserable on your own at a party.

[henchgal]

Yes, there is--not making it to the party at all, when you really did want to go. But you're right, I should join the others. Just be gentle with me, it's a bad pain day.

[aelwyn_aberration]

[She chuckles. That's doubly true in her case because not going to a party both means less money and also spending the night at her house. Which, yeah, she might stay at most of the time but she still hates.]

I'll be gentle as a bunny. Want me to get you a drink? Ren and I made cocktails.

[henchgal]

Just a soda, please. [She walks away from the water, toward where everyone's gathered for the party, looking around to see who's decided to show up.]
