The Lounge's Summer Pool Party

[LitShark]

*slips his arm around Bell's shoulders, giving Brit a huge smile on her return, blowing the smoke deliberately away from the others behind the bar.*

Welcome back, Brit. I prepped us a very American feast for later. I can't wait!

*watches Alice mix his drink.*

You know, the reason human fingers wrinkle in water is to improve grip when submerged. It's an evolutionary adaptation, your skin is fine.

 

[Belladorma]

Awww *makes a pouty face* all riiiight.
*leans into him a bit and turns to lightly bight his arm before turning back to take another drink.

 

[Britwitch]

She winks at Sharky with a smile of her own

"Lovely to be back and I can't wait!"

An excited giggle while watching the drink preparation.

"Oh I do love a good party!"

Her grin takes on certain subtle Cheshire nuances as she digests this information, and she can't help drawling, "Reeeeeally?"

Passing Brit a red-white-and-blue cocktail, she glances up at LitShark, blinks at his partner and folds her twitching lips together over any additional comments she might have made. Perhaps her flushed cheeks say plenty, as she passes him a cocktail and bends her head over the bar to fix one for herself.

Clearing her throat. "I'm feeling slightly underdressed for the party, here, but I really ought to curl up somewhere and write, anyway. I'm so overdue!"

 

[Belladorma]

You're a writer? *leans forward in interest* Like not just on here, but your own books? What are you overdue for? *I realize i might be sounding pushy* Sorry, I'm just an amature writer myself and i've been mulling over my story for ohh.... 7 years. lol

 

[LitShark]

*greets Alice's subtle nuances with some subtext of his own, glancing back at the pool briefly then back to her. He looks over at Bell, as she nibbles his arm and nudges her playfully.*

These look amazing, Alice.

Sips her drink, licks her pruny index finger and runs it around the rim of the glass to make the blue sugar crystals stick, and licks it again. She smiles at Bell, shrugs and shakes her head slightly.

"Just here. Well - just - smut." She laughs."Here and there, and some just for my own private spank bank, you know. No books or anything grand - I hardly even have time for my squishy little fantasies, these days."

She shrugs and pulls a corner of the towel up to tousle her damp curls. "Maybe someday. For now, I just owe posts - oh, so many posts! But two at least, that I've got to get on as soon as possible. My writing partners might just come looking for me, and I haven't made any secret of my presence, here at the pool."

She lowers her lashes again as she reaches for her straw and stirs her drink thoughtfully, then looks back up at LitShark, smiling brightly.

"I hope you like it! I didn't even pay much attention to what's in them, just thought they looked pretty."

 

[Britwitch]

Takes her drink with a wide smile and takes a sip, drawing in a sharp breath once she's swallowed.

"Well, that's one way to start the day." She laughs, lifting her glass towards the others. "I feel like there should be toasting. But what do we drink to? 'Happy you got your country back day'?" She grins mischievously.

Back? I think you mean just decided we were a country, united by not liking being ruled by you lot.

We'll compromise.

Happy Birthday America.

I can understand that. *Stretches off and finishes her drink and smoke* Well I'm out for the night. I'm due for some sleep lol *stands and stretches before touching Ls's cheek and turns to leave*

[saysalice]

Holds her drink up to gently clink with the other glasses.

"Hooray for everything! Happy July 4th!"

Not 'Why', it's Zy
giggles

 

[Britwitch]

"Just teasing, handsome," smiles sweetly and raises her glass a little higher, "Happy Birthday to the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

"G'night Bell! And hi Zy!"

 

[zydrate]

"Just teasing, handsome," smiles sweetly and raises her glass a little higher, "Happy Birthday to the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

"G'night Bell! And hi Zy!"

waves and refrains from the land of the free bit...

 

[saysalice]

Waves to Bell and takes a sip of her drink, nodding at zydrate over the glass.

 

[zydrate]

makes a few drinks for herself and extras for others, should they want it

 

[Britwitch]

"So, what's everyone up to this weekend? Where I am I'll be dodging the rain, apparently." Sighs a little wearily and sips her drink. "Although we're heading over to Sweden for a little while today, which is always fun."

Grins and sips a little more.

Grins and sips a little more.

We are doing the usual 4th of July things... BBQ, have a few drinks with a friend who's bday is on the 4th, then going to see some fireworks...or in our case, some fire clouds in the evening...

Fire clouds pertain to the low clouds/fog that seems to settle every night and when they set off fireworks, it just colors the sky...

 

[saysalice]

She smirks briefly at her own unspoken thoughts, then shakes her head and looks up, catching Brit's question belatedly.

"Oh - I'm in the middle of potty training the little one, so we'll be staying close to home, this weekend. Looks like we might get some rain tomorrow, too - though I can't trust the forecast to even be close, these days."

She wraps the towel more snugly around herself and takes her drink with the other hand, slipping from the bar stool and turning in the direction of the lounge chairs.

"I think I'm going to take my naked Canadian ass over here, and try to pound out a couple of posts before I have to call it a night. You all enjoy the turducken, and have a happy holiday."

She pauses and turns back to give LitShark a hug. "Have a wonderful time in Japan, if I don't see you before you go - and do come back with stories for us!"

Leaning in a little closer to murmur, "Maybe we'll have to test that pruny-fingers theory, sometime."

She grins and blows a kiss to Brit, and walks over to settle down on one of the lounge chairs.

 

[zydrate]

waves to alice byeeeeee

takes a few shots and readies them Anyone want a skittles shot?

 

[Britwitch]

"Happy writing, lovely," Brit blows a kiss back towards Alice before she heads away.

"And fireworks are always fun." She nods at Zy, drinking a little more of her cocktail. Snickering at the suggestion of shots. "I think it might be a little too early for those where I am. I can just about manage this," she raises her half empty glass a little, "but I think shots would end my day before it really begins. But you go ahead!"

 

[zydrate]

Okie Dokie!!!
