Open Party! (No Bar Though*)
Aug. 19th, 2018 11:23 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
WHO: Nico Minoru, Karolina Dean, Baphomet, and everyone else K can wrangle into coming
WHERE: Some Heropa-adjacent beach
WHEN: Backdated to Thursday August 16th, starting late afternoon
WHAT: Nico's eighteenth birthday party
WARNINGS: Goth music and probable PDA
Karolina may have gone a little overboard today, but this is probably the best excuse she'll have to throw a celebration for her girlfriend for at least the rest of the year. They've got Asian fusion catering, they've got Baphomet on stage doing a set of Nico's favorite songs (after which she may try to see if she can encourage people to step up to an open mic, be it for karaoke, slam poetry or improv comedy), they've got set ups for both volleyball and soccer (why she thinks playing soccer on a beach is tenable is a mystery, but she's already got the equipment from the youth program she's been working on setting up). Officially, drinks are limited to non-alcoholic options, but she's got a few bottles stashed in her bag for after the sun sets.
Invites will get sent out to pretty much everyone she or Nico have spoken to since they got here: friends, housemates, neighbors and acquaintances. Those invites will note that swimwear is optional but encouraged (for anyone who chooses not to go in swimwear, it is mandatory to wear some other kind of clothing, but she doesn't put that on there. That feels implied.) She's got a one piece swimsuit on herself, plus a coverup she'll be wearing most of the time that she's playing hostess.
Hostess is a job she takes seriously, checking to see that everyone is comfortable and engaged between dips in the water and semi-regular over-the-top flirting with the girl of the hour.
