The Beach, Friday Evening

[fjordicswagger]

A new Friday, a new change of scenery. Tamsin had hoped for somewhere else that stocked booze, but thankfully, she'd had the foresight of getting a whole bunch of it from the Restaurant before they moved this morning

Arrive/Mingle!

[fjordicswagger]

Come on, alums, townies, teachers, and whatever students think it's cool to mix with that kind of folk. It's a nice evening. Enjoy it.

While Kanan hadn't had the opportunity to party, exactly, in quite some time, he was all for the idea of getting out and meeting new people. And eating the free food. Kanan was completely on board for free food.

Yes, he still had his blaster on him. There was no way in hell he was leaving his apartment without it when he didn't have to. But hopefully the shirtless look would draw attention away from that?

It was a compromise.

Jalian was appreciating the view. He had nice muscles and the sense not to go unarmed - these were both good things.

Yes, he was a teacher. So what? She could still admire.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[uncertain_dume]

You know, Kanan might have been ignoring the Force and anything and everything it had to say to him for quite some time, but that didn't mean he didn't know when he was being watched. He was basically hard-wired for that, and his hand even half-twitched toward his blaster while he was turning to look to see who--

He blinked. His hand relaxed again. There would be no shooting of students today, no. Right.

"Can I help you with something?"

Being in a position of authority over somebody that made admiring back into something wholly unacceptable was new to him. He hadn't quite mastered the 'look awkward and pretend it isn't happening' approach, yet.

Eat and Drink!

[fjordicswagger]

There's a ton of moddable food on the grill, including vegetarian options, and a small salad bar. Grab a plastic plate and some cutlery and get yourself something to eat. Or pick up some booze; it's there too.

Dante was still pissed off about yesterday - maybe dealing with all the shit Cassandra had said, too. So he went to the party, adults be damned, and went straight for the booze.

Then he picked up a ridiculous amount of meat and settled in somewhere.

Re: Eat and Drink!

[uncertain_dume]

Salad was good. Kanan had eaten a lot of salad last week. And burgers? He was getting a pretty good idea of what Earth's idea of a burger was, and those weren't half bad, either. So he split the difference, grabbing a cheeseburger and loading it up with whatever looked like it might go well on a cheeseburger, and filling the rest of his plate up with a little bit of everything else. Less because he was hungry (even if he was), and more because he wanted to familiarize himself with as much of this stuff as he possibly could.

... Also, booze. He was grabbing himself a bottle of some manner of beer while he was there, too.

Eliot raised an eyebrow at Kanan's plate. "Interestin' combo you got goin' there. Let me know how it tastes."

Hang Out On The Beach

[fjordicswagger]

Sit down on the sand with your feet and enjoy your view of the water. Play volleyball, if that's more your style. Or go swimming. You can't go far, courtesy of that dome, but there's still plenty of room.

Re: Hang Out On The Beach

[furnaceface]

Guitar in hand, Jono staked out a spot on the beach that was sort of away to the side of whatever was going on in the water or by the grills. It wasn't that he was being antisocial, necessarily. It was just that he was far less likely to get sand kicked on him if he had some distance from any potential volleyball games.

Honest.

Anyway, he was quite content to just sit there and play whatever he felt like playing and leave all of the 'beach fun' to everybody else. If that meant he was mostly playing acoustic reinterpretations of early 90s grunge... well...

Look, he'd take requests. But he wasn't going to sing.

Re: Hang Out On The Beach

[crimson_sister]

The music was unfamiliar, and perhaps not quite to her taste, but Lucille enjoyed that someone played an instrument rather than relying on recorded music.

"Good evening," she greeted Mr Starmore. "Please, don't let me interrupt." She looked around and found a spot nearby to sit down.

[SPish for a while]

Re: Hang Out On The Beach

[furnaceface]

//Evening, Lucille,// Jono replied, giving a warm little nod and finishing his rendition of Layla before tilting his head in consideration and starting to play something a little (a lot) more sedate. //How're you tonight? Enjoying the party?//

Tables and Seats

[fjordicswagger]

Or stay away from the water and settle in at a table.

Re: Tables and Seats

[worstofalltime]

Since the armor was a tiiiiiny bit out of place on the beach, Wash had to settle for finding the most defensible position he could to sit.

And only then did he enjoy his burger.

Re: Tables and Seats

[uncertain_dume]

Hey, a familiar face, and it wasn't obscured by the helmet today?

Kanan was coming over and finding a seat for himself not far off, giving Wash a nod of his head.

"Look, this food isn't moving."

It was in a sort of horrifying combination of 'burger and other random things from the table' on Kanan's plate, but it wasn't moving.

Re: Tables and Seats

[worstofalltime]

"No, it's not," Wash granted him, giving the food amalgam on Kanan's plate a concerned look. "Or only as much as its supposed to."

Like jello!

Talk to the Hostess

[fjordicswagger]

Tamsin's enjoying a beer and... steak.

A lot of steak.

Re: Talk to the Hostess

[fracknotfrak]

After having a couple of beers, Vic spotted Tamsin and decided to bring up something she heard on the radio.

"So what the fuck is this shit I hear about alligators?"

Hello to you, Ms. Mayor.

Re: Talk to the Hostess

[fjordicswagger]

"They hibernate in the sewers and every few years they show up to give me a headache," Tamsin said, rolling her eyes. "Wow, they really went to town on your etiquette training, didn't they?"

Not that she had any, but eh.

Re: Talk to the Hostess

[fracknotfrak]

"We have etiquette training in the station?" Vic asked as she popped open another beer. "News to me. So is there anything the troopers need to do? Fumigate? Kill 'em? Get a new set of boots with alligator hide?"
