[forethinking]

Who: Ren Amamiya, Wanda Maximoff, you!
When: 12th of September
Where: Good Harbor Beach
Summary: Here's the barbecue log! Eating, playing games, having a bonfire and sleep-over on the beach!
Warnings: Alcohol? Ghost stories?



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.

ɪɪ. ᴛɪᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴘᴀʀᴛʏ

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!

ɪɪɪ. ᴀ ʙᴏɴꜰɪʀᴇ

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.

snaccs
[This is fun, just hanging out with coworkers, relaxing and chatting over a beer or three.]

Have you ever had this before? [Yuri asks someone, pointing at something on the table. She's Japanese, and a lot of the more western offerings here are completely new to her.] It looks good!

games
[Are you ready for 1v1 peer pong against a very cheerful twenty-something woman with a competitive glint in her eyes? It's time for that, because Yuri's here and ready to go.

Or maybe it's later, a game of truth or dare, and Yuri's just as excitedly competitive with this as with an actual competition.]

Come on, give me your best dare!

BEER PONG...

[variantl1130]

[First impressions are everything. Loki's first impression of Yuri, so far, is that she's competitive and will find any excuse to drink. Very respectable. Very enjoyable, as well. He's up to the challenge. Except...]

Any chance you'd be willing to play with wine instead? It's classier. Gets you drunk faster.

[deadanimemom]

Well, I'd never turn down an opportunity to be classier! [She says, laughing.

She's wearing an oversized tee shirt and cutoff jean shorts, her curly hair pulled back in a messy ponytail. Nothing but high class here.]

[variantl1130]

[Her laugh is infectious! Well, maybe it's the alcohol. Either way, he joins in.]

Well, then. Shall we? [After a hearty laugh, he haphazardly grabs a stack of solo cups and two bottles of wine from the barbecue's makeshift buffet. He hands a bottle and half the cups to Yuri.] Figure we're going to use up a bottle each at some point, may as well claim the whole thing now, no?

[deadanimemom]

[Well, he's certainly not shy about his intentions. Which is good, because that's exactly what Yuri was kind of planning on today.]

That all depends on your aim!

games: t or d

[earthshine]

[ how did shiro get roped into a game of truth or dare? a mystery for the ages! standing there, sipping at his red cup and thinking, well, they are at the beach. ]

I dare you to dunk yourself in the ocean.

[ surely it’s not that cold. ]

[deadanimemom]

[She's a little taken aback. But a dare is a dare, and there probably aren't any kelpies in there right now.]

... that's pretty intense for a first dare.

[But there she goes.]

[earthshine]

[ she said give him her best one! go big or go home??

… except, perhaps he has some second-thoughts as he follows after her toward the water. ]

How about I amend it? You don’t have to get your hair wet.

[ see, he’s nice. ]

[deadanimemom]

All right! [She sort of ties her hair up a bit more, getting the messy curls of her ponytail a little more out of the way before running into the waves.

She lets out a little yelp of shock as she hits the water, but does dunk herself in up to her shoulders before coming out.]

snaccs!

[littlegentleman]

[Junior looks a little surprised to be addressed--really he's been spending his entire time here at the event basically silent and solitary, seeming to be a particularly shy boy. His own features seem to point at an Asian heritage, though his accent places him from the UK. He looks down at the burger on his plate.]

Only from restaurants.

[Ms. Wendy would usually order out when they had dinner together; the two of them rarely had time for cooking.]

I think this is much better.

[deadanimemom]

[She's quietly friendly, smiling at the boy.]

It's always nice when someone cooks food to share.

[littlegentleman]

[Junior's quiet for a moment, continuing to stare at his plate as he mulls over those words.]

I'm not used to it, really.

[But he agrees. It's nice. This feels nice, everyone sitting together and sharing.]

I tried cooking for someone not very long ago...it was meant as a surprise. I'd never done anything like it before, but it felt good to see her enjoy a dinner I'd made.
