The Lounge's Summer Pool Party

[Angeleyz]

*wanders in wearing grey running shorts, a navy blue tee shirt, sporting a pair of fluorescent yellow running shoes with her long brown hair pulled up in a high pony tail*

Evening everyone... Trying to decide if I'm going on a run tonight or being lazy. Based on the heat, I'm afraid lazy might win out.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Noon smiles and waves from his seat at Angel, before getting up and cross over to her. He gives her a quick hug and a little kiss on the cheek. Hmm, yes, I understand about the heat. It's a freaking heatwave. I wouldn't want to go on a run either.

He smiles and then releases her from her hug before he goes back to the bar, unsure if he wants to help himself to something else. I don't think I'd blame you if laziness won out. I'd say you could try waiting until after it's cooled down, but the sun is up so long that it will take a long time for it too cool off outside. Soo...nothing helpful. He smiled, deciding to help himself to an ice cold beer from the cooler.

 

[Angeleyz]

*smiles at Noon, returning the hug and rising up on her tiptoes to give his cheek a quick peck*

Aye and tomorrow is going to be worse with a 101+ heat advisory.

*follows him to the bar to see what adult beverage might catch her eye and tip the scales of sanity*

 

[Noon_Shadow]

He smiles at her sweetly as he stands behind the bar after pouring his drink into a cold mug out of the freezer. He props his hands on the bar and then sets his drink aside, falling into a fairly professional attitude. Hey there, beautiful! Greeting. Can I fix you anything?

He let his beverage sit for a moment as he decided to take a moment to tend to the Angel.

Understood. Maybe what you need is to get a lounge chair and just go sit in the heat for a while and let the sweat melt away. Chuckling softly.

 

[Angeleyz]

*laughs softly at the transformation to Sam the bartender*

Technically I'm on Mommy time for the next 15 minutes so I should behave...

 

[Noon_Shadow]

He raises an eyebrow at her and then lifts his beer mug, before taking a quick sip of it. 15 minutes? I think you're fine if you cheat just a little bit. I promise I won't tell.

He chuckles as he leans over the bar. C'mon...what's mommy time if you can't have a little bit of fun. You're not really being that naughty. A margarita perhaps? He licks his lips as he starts to check to make sure they have limes and salt.

 

[Angeleyz]

*considers the options*

I dunno, Noon... It sounds like you're channeling a bit of the wicked one.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

He enjoys the banter with her as he smiles, resting his hands on the bar once again. Well, you really should enjoy something while you're here. C'mon...admit it! You really do want to be wicked.

He laughed, but he playfully peekedd down at her legs as he did, then at her chest before finally watching her lips for a moment, watching for any tells. You really, really should....

 

[Angeleyz]

(Gah..... Hold that thought. Stupid smoke detector malfunctioning and can't get the beeping to stop. )

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Shakes his head. Nothing more frustrating than malfunctioning electronics.

He smiles and takes his beer pool side. He stops to unbutton his shirt and then toss it aside, kicking off his sandals as he sits on the edge of the pool, dipping his toes into the water while he sips on his drink.

 

[saysalice]

Exits one of the changing rooms with a towel wrapped around her head, having showered away the salt water and changed into a simple red sundress.

"Hey, you. And you, and you - and YOU!"

She smiles and stops to kiss fr33k and then Noon on the cheek, waving at Angel before sliding up to the bar to kiss prettyserps.

"Happiness looks wonderful on you. Congratulations!"

Behind the bar, her frozen daiquiri thingies are ready, and she takes them out, pausing to pour herself a shot, or maybe two.

"I'm stuck on a theme, today. True patriot love and all that. Red, the color of passion...and sunburn!"

Glancing down at her bare shoulders, she's relieved to see that she's avoided the latter, for the time being.

"Help yourselves, everyone - they'll get mushy fast. I promise, they won't make you too loopy."

"These, however - " Taking a shot in each hand and stepping over to one of the loungers, careless of her skirt as she sits down and slugs one back, wincing, and considers the other with a hard grin as she loosens the towel to let her wet curls fall around her face.

"Heh. I promise absolutely nothing about these."

 

[Angeleyz]

*wanders back in ready for something super duper strong*

Omg, I can still hear the f-ing thing echoing in my brain. Finally got it disabled, but jimminy cricket!!!!!

 

[saysalice]

Smiling at Angel as she returns.

"I used to set mine off all the time, when I lived alone. I thought it was super-sensitive. Turns out, I just burned things a lot."

Sipping her second drink, already feeling the effects of the first, her lips twist on mischievous thoughts.

"I got better!"

She leans back in the lounge chair with a sigh.

"Writing, I should be writing. It's just...who doesn't write better, by the ocean? And drunk."

Grinning. "Just me? That's okay, too."

 

[Angeleyz]

*smiles ruefully*

I hear you, but it was actually caused by a dying battery. Darn thing got installed less than a year ago and was supposed to be good for 10 years (ha!!!). At least I could have yanked out the battery in the old one, but nooooooooo we had to get an integrated one.

*sighs deeply*

Then I had to stand on the tippy topmost step AND stand on my tiptoes to reach the darn thing to pull it off the ceiling.

*rubs her forehead*

And then spent over a hour trying to get the tab to move to deactivate it so that it would shut the heck up!!! Had to use a fork of all things to get the sucker to move. Another 5 minutes and a hammer would have been used. Probably should have just done so in the very beginning!

I soooo need to get a drunk on now to help me relax.

 

[Scuttle Buttin']

The board shorts have been switched out for a more traditional, simple flat-front khaki shorts, his shirt a dark blue button up, short sleeves and the top couple buttons left open. Sandals still cover his feet, their traditional flop flop flop sound announcing his arrival before he comes into view. The area is a little more empty than the last couple times he'd popped in, but familiar faces brighten his expression as he slips behind the bar.

"Keep an eye on her," he says to Angel with a grin, poking a thumb in Alice's direction. "When she gets drunk, there's no telling what's going to happen."

 

[saysalice]

Wrinkles her nose.

"Noooot fun. I hate that. Glad you didn't have to use the hammer!"

Nodding toward the bar in sympathy.

"No doubt. I would, too! Pour yourself something stiff, and we'll toast to...well-stocked bars, and silenced smoke alarms!"

 

[saysalice]

Rolling her eyes and shaking her head, she can't quite stifle a grin.

She tosses back her second shot, possibly out of something akin to spite, and turns her attention to the man in the flippy-floppies.

"Psh. Hey, Scuttles - "

Hooking her thumbs under the straps of her sundress and smiling at him, tight-lipped.

"Why don't you...keep an eye on this?"

Jerking the front of her dress down to flash her tits at him, then pulling it up again, just as fast.

"Whoops! Did'ja blink? Aww, too bad!"

 

[Angeleyz]

*looks up as Scuttle Buttin' walks up and listens to his warning before giving him a small grin as she admitted* She's not the only one...

*wanders over to the bar to see what she could sample that would help stop the ringing in her ears or at least give her something else to listen to*

Gimme 5 minutes and I'll be caught up I'm sure. And then we can toast to well stocked stiffs... I mean bars and silenced smoke detectors.

 

[LitShark]

*Strolls back in, looking much more put together than the last time he frequented the deck of this fine establishment. He's glad to see so many familiar and friendly faces around. Following Angel's advice, he takes a seat on the edge of the deck to begin the long task of getting caught up on his commitments. Several threads (some revived from deep comas), not to mention a ton of housekeeping and recruitment for BDSMU. Still, in the wake of graduating, he's glad to have purpose.*

So, I'm updating threads in inverse order--most recent replies first, most pressing importance last. Does that make me the devil?

 

[Angeleyz]

*gasps in horror* oh my god... How could you do that?!?

*shudders as her 'OCDness' cries in despair*

 

[saysalice]

Adjusting her straps on her shoulders, her cheeks streaked with red, the color of the day, she smiles a bit bashfully at LitShark as he makes his entrance, but clears her throat and nods.

"Definitely. You're a bad man, and you should feel bad."

 

[Scuttle Buttin']

He is making a drink - tropical juices, rum, crushed ice, a wedge of pineapple for the edge of the glass - When he hears his name, and lifts his head to find Alice looking at him with something of a gleam in her eye.

"Hmm?" he says, brows raised, the piece of being yellow pineapple still held in his hand. His eyes dip as the dress is pulled down, the flash quite literally a flash when she covers herself just as quickly. He grins at her, head shaking, the fruit pierced by the rim of the glass, the final touch on his drink.

"You know," he starts, lifting the filled glass and moving around the bar, "If you want me to decorate them, you're going to have to leave that down..." he pauses, taking a sip from the glass and lowering himself onto one of the barstools, maintaining the distance between them for the moment, "Otherwise you're going to end up with stains all over your pretty little dress..."

Another sip taken, and this time he keeps eye contact over the rim of the glass.

 

[LitShark]

*Smiles at the outpouring of outrage at his selfish organization technique and nods.*

Yeah, that's about what I thought. Satan in the flesh.

*Locks eyes briefly with alice, amused by her sudden embarrassment at his presence for her little display. Her discomfort undeniably appealing as it tips him to a deeper dialogue about how she views him, but he lets this pass as unspoken subtext.*

We do need one last TA... Do you lot have any strong preferences as to who? I have a name or two in mind, but I have concerns about... chemistry. I figured I should seek feedback before sending out invites.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

He smiled to see Alice returning and noticing the kiss on his cheek as he sat with his feet still dipping in the water of the pool. The she got up and offered her watermelon treats. He slipped over the bar to help himself to one, deciding that something sweet and ice cold was perfect for such a hot day. He had his back turned as Alice apparently flashed her breasts to the world, sad at having missed it, but suspecting he might see more later.

He gave a wave to Litshark as he made his wave over to the deck again, glancing down at the cool ocean water beneath.

Well, glad you got the stupid alarm thing to behave, finally, Angel... he said, distractedly.

 

[Angeleyz]

With so many people returning from hiatuses, I can always bow out if you need, LitShark... If ya'll need to make re-arrangements.

*wanders back with a tumbler full of rum, knowing it would do the trick*

Thankee, Noon... It was touch and go for awhile... I really should have just used the darn hammer.
