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.

[What isn't Loki into? He's not often asked about his interests, so he really takes some time to think. He wants to sound cool. Impressive.]

Music. Theatre. Drinking—in fact, [he says, tossing her a smile,] I find my drinking to be like your baking. I get into a zone, and before I know it, I've had five dozen glasses of wine.

[Seems he's given up trying to not seem too drunk.]

[bossyboiler]

[ Kate is not drunk. She's not yet tipsy. However, she does have a pleasant buzz going on. At least her inhibitions and mouth have been loosened by a couple of drinks already. It turns out that without an advanced healing system, Kate is a lightweight. So when Loki says that's gets into a zone about drinking, Kate bursts out laughing.

It's so dumb. Such a silly thing to say and yet possibly the funniest thing that she's heard since arriving in Gloucester. Thank you, Loki. She needs this laugh. ]

That's a lot of wine.

[ She tries to stop from laughing. ]

I don't know why it's so funny but it is. I'm sorry.

[ Her eyes are mirthful and she finally stops laughing though she may be persuaded to giggle again. ]

[variantl1130]

[Yes, yes, yes! Her laughter is music to his ears. It hadn't been his intention to make her laugh so hard, but Loki adores the attention. He pretends to be offended when she apologizes for laughing.]

I don't know what you're sorry for—I love a captive audience!

[As if he's not hamming it up enough already, he continues on about his drinking...] See, it takes a lot to make an Asgardian drunk. I was brought up with alcohol. It's in my blood.

[bossyboiler]

I can't stop laughing.

[ It's okay, Loki. By the end of the evening, Kate is going to be absolutely smashed. She will regret it immensely. ]

Wait... You're a what now? Ooh. Loki. You're that Loki? Really?

[variantl1130]

[It's refreshing to hear his name recognized in a positive light. His good reputation precedes him, for once!]

I am, in fact, "that" Loki! You'd be surprised how many of me there are. What have you heard about me? Only good things, I hope?

[See, he says it like it's a joke, but uhhh. He could really use the W.]

[bossyboiler]

Well. There's considerable debate on my world if the Norse gods were people with Abilities masquerading as gods but a consistent theme is mischievousness with a sometimes lack of other people's feelings.

[ Like dude, you cut Sif's hair. That's not cool. Not cool at all. ]

I'm sure you're much nicer.

[ But for all that she knows, he too could be masquerading as God. Does she care? No. He's made her genuinely laugh for the first time in a long time. ]
