FOURTH OF JULY PICNIC AND EXPLOSIONS THAT WERE PLANNED FOR [The beach, July 4, 2014]

Jul 04, 2014 12:00

Since there was no need for a mid-summer welcome picnic, the administration had splashed out on this one: the tables (located under giant tents) were groaning with sidedishes from corn on the cob to potato chips to baked beans to several dodgy-looking jello salads and the grills were set up along the beach cooking chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, ( Read more... )

Mingle mingle mingle!

It wasn't quite an early morning sandbar party in Tampa, but this would do too. This was still enough to get Mike wandering around the beach in his swim trunks with a cool beer in hand.

(He still missed that damn sandbar, though.)

Riley had his sunscreen and sunglasses on so his enemy, the sun, would hopefully not be a problem today. He'd thought about staying inside but Ben would kill him if he missed a Fourth of July celebration.

Since Sam was back for a short time, he figured that he could also check out the various events the island had to offer. He didn't know if he'd stick around long but hey, he missed the island's beaches.

If there was a ghost or two popping up around him, just minding their business, well, that was just Sam. He attracted them like moths to a flame and he guessed they probably didn't get out to beaches much.

Food! professor_lyman July 4 2014, 11:05:08 UTC

Eat eat eat!

Re: Food! seveninchmotto July 4 2014, 12:13:21 UTC

Isabelle (in a long summer dress, because of course) was spending a lot of time around the ice cream sundae bar.

A growing girl needed sustenance! Cold, sweet, good sustenance. With sprinkles. And chocolate sauce. Yes.

Re: Food! livebytherules July 4 2014, 12:23:26 UTC

Will was there for the food, no doubt about it. He wasn't going to make any other excuses. He was hungry, it was hot and there was a beach. Perfect combination.

Re: Food! gal_wednesday July 4 2014, 13:57:39 UTC

Felicity had purposely not donned a bathing suit for this so she had an excuse not to go in the water, but she was wearing a pair of cute shorts and a tank top for the occasion. She was willing to risk sunburn, oh yeah.

She was hanging out by the food. She felt like it made her less awkward.

Games! professor_lyman July 4 2014, 11:07:00 UTC

Get friends and mod your fun! Whatever stuff you're in the mood for's around: horseshoes, cornhole (not dirty, swear to god), volleyball...just stick it in the OCD and people'll join you.

Re: Games! brainfreediet July 4 2014, 14:43:03 UTC

Yeah, of course Flash was playing some games. He found a football (meaning he made sure to bring one) and one of ESU's most heavily-courted QBs in the school's history was ready to throw it around.

Re: Games! professor_lyman July 4 2014, 19:45:15 UTC

Cornhole was a game with beanbags in one hand and a beer in the other: in Josh's view, the perfect game for the Fourth.

He had no skill whatsoever, but that's why he'd gone into politics and not professional cornholing.

Not dirty. He hoped.

Sunbathing professor_lyman July 4 2014, 11:08:17 UTC

If you want to just eat food and soak up the sun, wander over here!

Re: Sunbathing solarhippie July 4 2014, 11:58:40 UTC

There was just no way that Karolina would be anywhere else but stretched out on a towel on the sand and soaking up as much sunlight as she possibly could. No way.

She needed the energy! With or without the gossip she was soaking up from a less than reputable magazine.

Re: Sunbathing not_called_icky July 4 2014, 14:14:07 UTC

Not quite used to half-naked women lying on the beach, Ichabod took a circle around the girl he had met on the ferry, doing his best not to look at her. He cast a long shadow across her, and unsure about the customs in these matters he said, flailing slightly: "Um, apologies, miss."

Re: Sunbathing solarhippie July 4 2014, 15:12:54 UTC

"Hmm?" Karolina hummed quizzically as she pried her attention away from the magazine, looking up. "Oh! I'm not in your way or anything, am I?"

They could try and out-polite each other.

FIREWORKS professor_lyman July 4 2014, 11:10:01 UTC

Ooooooh, ahhhhh. Given who's on the school administration, you know the explosions are spectacular.

Re: FIREWORKS flickofawrist July 4 2014, 22:11:19 UTC

When the party was already in full swing and no one was really paying attention to new arrivals, Flick did finally come out. He stayed out of the way and back from most of the party but he'd mostly come out to see the fireworks.

Jude had liked fireworks. And he bet Frank would like them too when he got old enough so he'd come out for them. It made him even more melancholy and sad but it was good to be out and feel a little more connected with those he'd lost.

Re: FIREWORKS seveninchmotto July 4 2014, 23:47:57 UTC

Had he thought Isabelle wouldn't notice? Because she did. After a while. She approached from the side of his good arm and leaned right in against his side, sliding her arm around his waist.

Didn't even say anything.

Re: FIREWORKS flickofawrist July 4 2014, 23:53:09 UTC

Flick hadn't really thought anyone would notice, if he was honest. He'd been trying to be unobtrusive and unnoticeable but he knew she had an advantage in that area.

When she leaned in against him, he glanced down at her, a little surprised that he hadn't heard her coming. He tensed briefly but that went away when he realized who was at his side and he blinked a few times before he closed his eyes and breathed quietly.
