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.

He isn't going to pry into the arm thing, though frankly he's probably noticed already that she's holding herself with more signs of pain than usual. Up-close confirmation is always a plus, even if it's discouraging. He's been kind of quietly hoping that their work would help mitigate her problem, building up muscle and flexibility.

Ah, well. Instead, he pries into the more pertinent part of that: "Which matters are they inexperienced in?" Just in case they're matters he can help with, too.

[henchgal]

"Budgeting. Coupon clipping. Meal planning and prep to optimize ingredients. Practical matters. They're both--and I say this with love--obnoxious rich boys."

She doesn't exactly expect that to be Winter's area of expertise, but he's at least certain to be practical.

[worthallthis]

Aw, no, those are definitely not skills he has and can help with. Practical he may be, but he's also lacking in most of the practical experience that would help him get by in the world alone. Helpful roommates and ADI are about the only benefits he's got, in that department.

He has to ask, though. Maybe it will help him learn? "What's a. Coupon?"

[henchgal]

"A piece of paper that allows you a discount when buying a particular product, or a product from a particular brand. It saves you money and makes the brand happy because you're buying their product, not their competitor's."

It's not the most surprising question he could have asked, really.

[worthallthis]

"Capitalism is confusing," he mutters, mostly to himself, shaking his head. Then, more for her sake, he adds, "I have a lot to learn. I don't know if my roommates know about coupons."

Of course, he has done exactly zero grocery shopping since he got here, letting Kate handle that for the most part, occasionally Yelena, and getting most of his meals at the ADI canteen anyway.
