The Lounge's Summer Pool Party

[TinyDuchess]

*Humming merrily as I stroll in, my slippers clapping against my heels. Setting a few items down on the bar, a party isn't a party without a few favours. Smoothing my hands over the skirt of my dress, as I turn to walk towards the pool.*

I think a little dip will do quite nicely.

*Placing my tote on a lounger and rummaging through it.*

Now then which bathing suit should I wear first?

 

[Britwitch]

Skips in, blue dress fluttering around her as she all but bounces over to Duchess and hugs her warmly.

"I think you'll look gorgeous in either!"

A kiss for a pretty cheek and a happy sigh.

"And how's you, lovely? Enjoying your Saturday I hope."

 

[TinyDuchess]

*Cooing happily, and happily returning Brit's hug, unable to help but bounce a little in excitement as I do so.*

Hello lovely! I made it! *looks sheepish* Finally... I sort of fell fast asleep last night. Though I suppose that does mean that I am well rested and so my day is wonderful so far. *Grinning widely*

And I think I'll wear this one first. Be right back!

*Scurrying over to the changing rooms to excuse my best Clark Kent impersonation, before returning and giving a little spin.*

Et voila!

 

[Britwitch]

While waiting she peels off her own dress to reveal her own swimsuit underneath. She's just folding her dress carefully over the back of a deck chair when her friend re-emerges, looking stunning.

"Ooooh lovely!" A little wolf whistle is given before she heads for the bar.

"A drink." She announces, slipping behind the bar and rifling through the bottles. "Any preference...or suggestions..?"

 

[TinyDuchess]

*Giggling at your wolf whistle.*

You're looking quite fetching yourself *Winking while raising an eyebrow as I walk closer, following you to the bar.*

Definitely a drink! *Looks thoughtful for a moment* Well... I think a lemonade might be in keeping with out celebratory theme.. *grins mischievously*And of course we could spike it with a bit of coconut rum to make it more adult, if you have it.

 

[Britwitch]

"Sounds like an excellent plan! And I can't believe we don't have any - a-ha!" Brit emerges from beneath the bar with a bottle of coconut rum and a triumphant grin.

Two glasses are filled with ice, a generous glug of the rum and then splashed full of lemonade. Brit plonks one of Duchess' pretty straws into each glass and hands one over the bar.

"Cheers!"

 

[TinyDuchess]

*Rapping my palms energetically atop the bar, before lifting my drink and clinking it lightly against yours.*

Cheers! *taking a long sip before sighing contentedly and stirring the ice in my glass about with my straw.*

How has your day been, sweetheart?

 

[Britwitch]

"Pretty good," she puts the bottles away and comes back around to sit next to her friend at the bar, "we had a road trip up and over the border into Sweden which was fun. We went to a candy shop that was insane, every kind of candy imaginable, and all stupidly cheap...I might have had a tad too much sugar today!" She grins, pausing her story to sip her drink.

"Not a bad day at all, even with the return of the rain." Another mouthful of drink disappears. "Any plans for your day?"

 

[TinyDuchess]

Why is it that every time you speak of crossing the border to Sweden it sounds more and more magical to me?

*shaking my head from side to side as I take another sip* No such thing as too much sugar, it's just a dreadful rumor dentists started.

I wish you could send some of that rain my way, it's bordering on hellishly hot here today. I sort of plan on staying as still as possible as a result; less movement equals less sweating... *frowns* I think...

Other than that I think I'll just hang about here and try to get some writing done.

 

[zydrate]

with her hair up in pigtails and wearing a blue 4th of July t-shirt, she saunters over to the juice bar as she waves to all

Hiya

 

[Britwitch]

"Talking of crossing borders always sounds like an adventure to me," she agrees, turning around on the stool to lean back against the bar and look out over the ocean, "any kind of travelling is exciting."

"And I'm not so much worried about my teeth as I am my hyperactivity levels thanks to the candy. I've been more than a little giddy today!" She grins.

A wave is given towards Zy.

"Writing sounds good though," she nods, looking back towards Duchess, "I'm managing to keep up with Nano so far although it means I'm writing very little of anything else at the moment."

 

[TinyDuchess]

Hehe I have to admit my mind does wander to the adventurous side of things as well when I consider it.

*waves and smiles to Zy* Hello there.

*Turning back to Brit* I like you giddy! Nano is why I hope I get the writing in... the last few days I've been focusing on other people and their madness. I need to be better at carving out time for myself.

The rewrite is going, well then. I'm glad for you. I think I've finally fleshed out a clear idea. Though my mind feels more active now, which means more new ideas streaming in...

*Shrugging softly andnsipping* Blessing and a curse.

 

[LitShark]

*rushes in, realizing his dire mistake, relieved to find that the pool hasn't burned down. Never leave oil on heat and go to sleep. Poor form.*

*he turns the flame under the oil way down and then turns to the beautiful company.*

Hey ladies, happy 4th. How's everyone doing on this beautiful day?

 

[zydrate]

waves at LS as she sips her juice drink from her little dark corner

 

[Britwitch]

"The re-write is going well, better than I'd expected to be honest, so hoping that continues," she grins at Duchess, "am sure yours will come together too! Seriously, I can't wait to read it!"

Looks up and smiles at Sharky.

"Not bad at all thanks, and you?"

 

[LitShark]

I wake up late when I have a choice, so Mine's just getting started, but I'm optimistic.

*grins and waves back at Zy.*

I like your hair, come join us.

*at the bar, gives Brit a kiss and sits near her and Tiny.*

Those drinks look delightful. Any more lemonade?

 

[Britwitch]

"Yeah, there's plenty and it's rather delicious. I'd definitely recommend it." She smiles after returning his kiss.

"Sadly my day is almost over and I'm probably going to have to bid you all a good night before much longer. Typical. People start arriving just as I'm having to think about leaving." A melodramatic sigh is heard, although she manages to resist the urge to swoon. Falling from a bar stool onto the wooden deck is not how she wants to end her night.

 

[TinyDuchess]

I hopeful that it will.

*Smiles at LS as he sits.*

There sure is... *whispers* We added rum to it.

 

[TinyDuchess]

Awww *tries not to pout* that's okay bunny. We'll just continue the party tomorrow. If I'm not mistaken thats why they call it 4th of July weekend celebrations. So you can party for more than one day!

 

[Britwitch]

"I like the way you think, lovely," she giggles, clinking her glass against Duchess'.

 

[LitShark]

*pouts at Brit's departure.*

We'll save you some turducken, Brit.

*hugs and kisses her goodnight.*

 

[prettyserpentine]

walking over to the bar dressed in her work clothes and wearing her glasses on top of her head, she sits down beside the girls, blowing a stray wisp of hair away from her eyes

Room for one more? I promise I'll go get dressed in a minute. Just need a minute.

Just a minute.

faceplants the bar

 

[Britwitch]

hugs and kisses Duchess sweetly and then does the same to Sharky

"Have fun and hopefully I'll be back before you all head to bed and before all the fireworks have been set off."

a wink and a giggle and the witch heads off to her beach hut to hopefully doze for a few hours

 

[zydrate]

hides under the pool tarp, tossed in the corner

sneaks up on Vail

 

[TinyDuchess]

*Inclines my head graciously and tries not to giggle.* Why thank you.

*Turns to LS* By the way, I'm working on an enrollment profile for your thread. Hopefully all have it done before the weekend is out.
