The Lounge's Summer Pool Party!!

No more champagne for... *hic*... me.

Hmm, well, you're mid-August, I'm early September. What about you, Starry? Are you a Leo or a Virgo?
 
Really, Essie! Does one ask a lady if she is a virgo?

Oh. Horoscopes. Right.

<Crawls out of pool in shame to hide behind an enormous Martini.>
 
Oh Brit, you wicked woman ;P

I'mma Leo, Essie! HEAR ME ROAR -mews pathetically-

Early August for me. We could just like go crazy and stay there for a month so all our birthdays are spent there. I wouldn't mind ;)

Happily downs her glass of champs, giggling like a three-year-old
 
Fixes Jean with a mock steely glare

Do I need to summon the duck? Anyway, I'm a Virgo and damn proud of it :p

I don't know if I could handle a whole month - I'm not so good with sun and I get tipsy after two drinks.... okay, one if it's particularly potent....

Hang on, that means your birthday is only a snickersee away, Starry!!!
 
No, please! Not the duck!

I'm completely out of shredded spring onion and plum sauce.

Let me know where you decide to hold the birthday. I'll send cake.
 
Steals his martini, for he is too busy quivering with fear upon the duck threat to do anything about it

You have a point - I'm kind of a lightweight too so . . . maybe a fortnight?

And yep! Just under two weeks away, hooray!
 
Des you're terrible xD But that cake is delicious so I'll forgive you. Essie on the other hand . . . Glances warily at the fuming figure
 
It's okay, Starry. He's forgotten one very important thing...

Muffled yelp from Des, looking down to see a small bear staring up at him, holding his sandwich plate which has just "accidentally" smacked into Des' ankle

No, my mistake, I think he's just remembered ;)
 
Hell hath no fury like a woman whose duck has been scorned, it's true. And I'm glad you like the cake. Perhaps, given the cake-eating propensities of the three of you, it would be simpler and far cheaper to ship out the patissier in a box?
 
Only if he arrives wrapped in three large bows for each of us to untie... :cool:
 
wanders onto the decking, past everyone in a little polka dot swimsuit and falls into the ocean.

Honestly. All this talk of duck is making me hungry...

Also, hello all! Nightshift is officially over for the week! And damn, it's so hot...
 
<Sings>

Hello, little fella! Has Essie been force-feeding you again?

<Thinks about fondling his head in patronizing manner, but notes the impressively well-developed teeth and retreats with as much dignity as he can muster.>


Err - Monroe? Could I have another Martini, please? Mine seems to have...disappeared. <Looks ruefully at last of his drink disappearing into Ms. Starry-Eyed.>
 
Last longer too, I'd imagine

slips behind the bar while Munroe is otherwise engaged to get herself a large g&t

Hello, Ms, Serpentine! Look what Monroe has just rustled up. Do tuck in.

And yes, it is indeed hot enough to bite a grape.

Oh now, that just looks completely decadent, Jean. I might have a little piece once I pull myself out of the water here. You know, in about an hour or so... It's just so warm today...

Pounces on Serps Hey!

It's so lively in here! Hooray! I love you guys sniffs

is pounced on and splashes Starry right back!

Aw, honey, we love you too! Well, I do anyway. Oh and by the way, thanks for standing guard the other night...

winks devilishly
 
Ted! Spit those out! What did I tell you about digging for dentures in the sand?

Waves to Pretty in the water

Hello stranger! Hope you're over your lavender nastiness.

Consults Monroe's drinks card

Ooh, that sounds nice. I like tea. Never heard of this one before. Monroe, I think I'll try one of these Long Island Iced Teas, please.
 
Hello stranger! Hope you're over your lavender nastiness.

Hey there sugar!

Turns out it wasn't an allergy after all, it was just a bug. But of course I had to spend three hours in A&E before they figured it out... Still. Free health service, so I shouldn't complain. It sure as hell won't be so simple when I move Stateside.
 
I LOVE this pool, Brit! Does it have a wave machine, by any ludicrous chance?

winks devilishly

Yes, it was, um, my pleasure. And yours. I'm sure. I know. I heard. ahem

Belly flops into the pool and stays under for several minutes
 
Do you know what, I think it might...hang on...

takes a large swig of her drink, sets it on the bar and proceeds to root about behind it looking for a suitable looking switch, after several loud KERPANGS and a TINKLE are heard she cries out joyfully

Ah ha!!

after a pause a machine whirs into action and waves start to bring the pool to life

Brit bounds out from behind the bar and jumps straight in
 
Standing poolside, Long Island Iced Tea in hand, watching it turn into a wave paradise.

Ooh, that looks like fun! I'll be in after I've finished my iced tea. Just the ticket in this heat.

Takes a large gulp then pauses, turning a becomingly rosy shade of pink and staring into the glass, blinking slowly with eyes wide as a possum, starting to sway

My tea tastes funny.
