party post } { which one can say of any attractive woman with half a brain.


In the height of summer, Daneca is in charge of planning the annual movie in the park. The set up is simple, all she has to do is find the supplies and figure out what movie to show. Which is why in late August, the sun starts to set. (It doesn't really "set", but Daneca calls in a favor with a certain god of the sun to dim the bright summer light to something better.

Something with ambiance.)

Stalls of food and merchants renting and selling blankets ring the park by the lake, lit by fairy lights and Chinese lanterns, and the screen is nestled beneath a pair of looming oak trees that offer a bit more shade for the movie. It's a double feature this year -- The World is Not Enough and Casino Royale. Someone couldn't decide between Pierce Brosnan's James Bond and Daniel Craig's James Bond and someone -- cough, Elena -- offered the brilliant compromise of "why not both?"

Both. Both is good.

So tuck in. Enjoy yourselves! Enjoy shirtless Daniel Craig, you know you want to.

Noah Evans is here with his fiance, Sarah Monroe. Their cat, Steggy, is also here, following primly after Noah wherever he goes. He carries a blanket underneath his arm from home, because he's looking for her. They were supposed to meet up here, but he is currently trying to decide what food he wants to eat and what food Sarah would most like out of all the stalls and possibilities.

He frowns. So many choices. He looks at the person nearest to him, trying to size up how valuable their opinion might be in the long run (he doesn't really like most people is the thing). "Any recommendations?"

He brought alcohol from home too. It's tucked within the blanket as he wasn't sure if it'd be available, and he likes to drink, okay? He leans up against the tree, taking a drink from the flask. It's rum inside because he's that much of a pirate sometimes. Steggy climbs up the tree and promptly perches up on his shoulder cause she thinks she is the Queen of the World, and he lets out a faux frustrated noise at her but she meows and butts her head against his face (It's cute).

Once Sarah and him reunite, the two lovebirds will be curling up and cuddling together on their blanket with their food and drink and cat to enjoy the movies. :')

While some people may be snug on blankets in the grass to watch the movie, one Jane Rooney is tucked away on a small boat on the lake, swaying next to the dock. The little sailboat is decked out in some twinkle lights liberated from last year's Christmas festivities and there is a sign on the dock scrawled in her messy handwriting that reads:

1/2 HOUR SAILS: $15
1 HOUR SAILS: $30


The owner of said boat is lounging on the boat's deck sipping soda and eating a plate of cookies all by herself while she watches the movie across the park even though she can't really hear the words, so you're welcome to join her. Well, that is if she's not actually out on the lake with a customer. You're definitely free to be one of her customers.

Ethan goes wherever there is the chance to socialize. He is frankly amazed the person running the party has managed to literally get the sun to start to set when it has been blaring overhead for what seems like endless days now. Here he thought he was the best at throwing parties.

Knowing the upcoming party was happening, Ethan decides to get himself a booth. He's a chef after all, and given he doesn't have the patience to sit through a movie, he happily signed up to provide food. He currently has a stall set up, making his very own variation on funnel cakes (both regular and mini sized) with toppings like chocolate & raspberry reduction or powdered sugar and cherries. He can even turn the mini funnel cakes into an ice cream sandwich. Also he's charming the pants off anyone who just comes up to buy a tasty treat.

He's a flirt and a hobag. It's a thing.

Daniel Craig is intimidating on screen, and Ben can't imagine how intimidating he must be in person.

Ben's not an insecure kind of guy, despite how awkward and fumbly he may seem - and is, lbr. He knows what he is and he knows what he's not, and he can admit that James Bond has it going on in a way he never will. Ben's ridiculously bright and he can figure out any techy gadget you put in front of him, but he's never going to have those abs and he's never going to be that smooth.

Take, for example, his valiant attempt to carry one too many things back to his blanket.

Everything that's on the tray, popcorn included, is swaying from one side to the next, like it may tip over any second now.

A little help?

Cora has set up the blanket for her and Abigail under a tree towards the back of the area that's been designated for the movie, mostly more for the other patrons than it is for her. She tends to ask a lot of questions regarding what's going on during the movie, and apparently that is "annoying."

Whatever.

Still, it's a pretty large blanket with a variety of priority movie snacks, the largest of which being the bowl of popcorn that will probably sit between them. There's also two large sodas of some kind, and Cora will probably wind up eating most of this. Werewolf metabolism. Still, she wanted to make sure they had options, especially since it's a double feature.

She'll pretty much stay where she is, and won't turn away anyone who wants to approach her, but if you're not wandering her way, she can also be found getting refills in the intermission between shows for the popcorn and sodas.

You had her at Daniel Craig, really.

That and she is in desperately need of a break - from the bar, from Hope and from the endless complications that have become her life. Alexander agreed to babysit for her which is probably a disaster waiting to happen but she trusts him, so for a couple of hours she can take a break, breathe and enjoy a good ol' fashioned spy thriller.

She doesn't take up a whole lot of space since it's just her, finding a spot on the field where she can sit on a blanket with her popcorn for one, and just relax and enjoy the night ahead.

She is also absolutely up for adult conversation if you want to swing her way and provide some.

Hana is on a date.

She and Rafe are one of those cavity-inducing couples where they still ask each other out on dates and actually get dressed up for them despite the fact that they live together and see each other every day and have no need to actually impress each other, but they do it anyway. In this particular instance, Hana left for her date right from work, which involved doing a quick shower and change at the temple before she makes her way out to the field to see about getting a spot.

Or if Rafe already beat her to it.

Either way, she's weaving her way through the crowd, pushing herself up on her toes to try and see if her date is anywhere to be seen, as well as checking out the various merchants to see if there's anything worth buying.

Also, she has funnel cake. She couldn't help herself, really.
