You gotta fight for your right to party.

Who: OPEN TO EVERYBODY!!! Even if you don't know who Jesse is. Word-of-mouth invitation.
When: Noon 'til evening sirens of Wednesday, July 4
Where: The beach!
Summary: An excuse to party and set off fireworks.
Warnings: Put 'em in your subject lines.
Notes: Meme-style! Tag in, tag around, have fun and whatever... yo.

The setup is probably more elaborate than anticipated. Jesse's paying for it all out-of-pocket, but as he has a drug dealer's income, he's splurged on all the best stuff.

The food includes everything that everyone suggested on his post. Hotdogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, pizza, chips, cookies, cake... There's an open bar for all the alcoholic drinks and a table with coolers for all the rest.

The music is selected by your host, Jesse, who's also the main DJ for the event. That guarantees a selection of varying quality that focuses heavily on hip-hop, rap, and dubstep. It's not always kid-friendly, but it's good for dancing.

General entertainment comes in the form of swimming, beach volleyball, a bonfire as the sun begins to set (including s'mores!), and a huge fireworks display just before sirens.

Security is being handled by Jesse's goons. You didn't think he'd host a Newcomer party without them, right? They're armed and much stronger than he is, so don't mess. A few healers are also on hand for first-aid.

Transportation back to the Tower Apartments via shuttle is also provided at the end of the night. (He really splurged.)

Party hard!!!

[Ben was there. Dean was there as well, but Ben was allowed to run around the Beach. There were enough people here to watch and make sure he was alright, and he SWORE he'd not do anything stupid! There was NO way he was going out into the water too far cus... well, can't swim. And there was no way he was LEAVING the beach cus, well, that wasn't fun.]

[SO here he was, in a pair of swim shorts (dark blue and black) running around bare foot in the wet sand, charging over to climb rocks at one point, glancing back to make sure the party wasn't far away, and being careful not to fall over into the water. He never went farther then knee high.]

[He had ran here with two hot dogs in his hands, giggling and scarfing one down as he went. Now there was just one left as he shoved the last of the first into his mouth, cheeks full, and trying to one handed climb up a rock that had ankle deep water around it...]

_{[Children were always strange things to Syrena. They were tiny little humans with high pitched voices and chubby limbs and faces. They usually ran around screaming on the beach, throwing things or playing in the sand. Most of the time, they were loud, which wasn't particularly appreciated, but they were curious creatures.

Thus, while Ben was climbing about on the rocks, she was keeping a careful watch on him, but more so the hotdogs in his hands. Maybe if she splashed him he'd drop one of them...children weren't the most coordinated of creatures, after all.

So, she does just that, flicking her tail up to splash the boy with water, hoping her plan will work. She's hungry, after all.]}

[His cheeks were STUFFED with the one hot dog, and the other he was about to stuff into his already full mouth just so he could grab the rocks with both hands and climb higher and farther out. Rocks were safe. And he had a good grip. And he made sure it wasn't deep. Dean can't get mad at him if he's just on ROCKS.]

[And then... something flicked in the water and he got splashed. Really very splashed. His hands both grabbed for the rock as he teetered for a moment. Knees dropping to the rock and.... plop! The second dog had fallen, but not fully into the water. More like.... on a lower rock, between a couple of them, in a water filled groove.]

[He leaned over the rock, finishing the bite he had and frowned]

Damn...

[so much for that. Oh well. He wasn't that hungry..... but he was wet now.]

_{[Perfect. Diving under the water Syrena swam close to the rocks, keeping low until she surfaced quickly, grabbing the hotdog with a hand before putting a bit of distance between herself and the child on the rocks. So what if the child had seen her? She had gotten what she wanted.]}

[His eyes went HUGE as he saw the hand dart up, grab the hot dog and swipe it away. Huge and very surprised... scared. To the point that he toppled over the rock he was one, falling backwards into a patch of sand, water splashing up over his middle as he lay on his back, and scrapping his elbow on a near by rock.]

[He didn't scream at least, but holy shit that was a sea monster or darkness creature or---OKAY so it wasn't dark yet but... dazed he scrambled to his feet, trying to grab the rock to stay stable and look around again.]

[If it's gone? he's going to run to get more food... maybe if he feeds it more he can see it better?!]

_{[It hadn't been her intention to scare him, of course, but that's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. As she watched him fall she winced inwardly slightly, glad he manged to get to his feet and scurry away. That meant she could eat her soggy hotdog in silence.

A few bites and it was finished off and Syrena found herself hovering just below the water's surface, picking a bit of wet bun from out of under her sharp nail.]}

[Yep, he was taking off. LUCKY YOU! No more human child messing up your rocks. Only... maybe, MAYBE five minutes later, he had returned, carrying something with him. He was running, hoping no one would see him. SO far no one saw him slide in, swipe a whole half a bag of franks, and slide out. He was giggling, but also scared. What if it really WAS a monster! But... but he wanted to see.]

[Carefully he jumped from rock to rock, climbing out past the rock he fell off of, to the edge of higher rock, sitting the half full bag down and leaning over the edge, on his knees. Hmmm. He reached in the bag and wiggled a hot dog, then there it out a few feet, into the deeper water, wondering if he'd see something take it]

_{[The wiggling above the surface of the water caught her attention as she looked up to see just exactly what it was. A hotdog and attached to it was the boy from earlier. How curious.

Well, there'd be no harm in taking it. It was food, after all. So, once again she reached out her hand to snatch the hotdog out of his grasp, although she was a bit gentler than last time, before sinking back down so only her eyes and the rest of her head were above the surface.

Hopefully, he wouldn't be as scared this time. She could smell more hotdogs on him, after all.]}

[Well..... he was confused now. He blinked down into the water at a pretty lady. WHy was she in the water and more so... why eat dirty water soaked hot dogs? These were bunless but still.... that's gross. He frowned, leaning on both hands and looking down at her curious like]

Hey, Lady! You just out here swimming? Haha, I thought you were a monster or something for a moment. [he was grinning now! Looking down at the woman in the water. Why was she hiding like that though.]

_{[A monster? Well technically, she was. That didn't mean she couldn't be civilized though. In fact, she probably was the most civilized out of all her sisters, even if she did enjoy the odd human limb or two from time to time.

When they deserved it, of course.

She lifts her head up out of the water entirely then, staring up at the boy, taking a bite out of the hotdog she'd grabbed out of his hand.]}

My name is Syrena. _{[There was a pause as she studied him curiously.]} I am a mermaid.

[He leaned over, kneeling on the rock and looking down at her. Still a fair height above her so not in easy grabbing distance, but close enough. His brows shot up at that thought and it was clear he was looking for the til, which after a moment of snatching he might have seen in the water? He wasn't sure though]

Like in movies? With fish tails and treasure saves and long pretty hair? [he asked, clearly amazed by the hot dog eating woman] Are you really?!

_{[Syrena didn't know what a movie was, but the description that followed seemed accurate enough for her to nod in agreement. Leaning back in the water she lifted her golden, scaly tale past the surface, only to give it a good slap.]}

I am.

[He jumped a bit at the slap, then grinned HUGE. SO COOL] Whoa...

[he leaned again, looking down at the babe in the water and smirked] You're pretty hot for a water babe. You like hot dogs?

_{[Hot? No...she wasn't hot.]} I am not hot, I am cool and wet.

_{[Strange child.]} I do like them, yes.

[He chuckled at that. Hey, it was funny. But he smiled and reached back to get another cold hot dog, reaching over to hold one down]

I got more, if you want them. And I just meant that you're pretty. Beautiful, for a water chick. That's all. You got a name?

I want them. _{[That would be another thing to remember about children - they didn't listen the first time apparently. Or maybe he'd been just too excited to pay attention when she'd told him her name the first time. Reaching up she took the hotdog.]}

My name is Syrena.

[He let her take the hot dog, but raised a brow. Yeahm okay so the mermaid part over threw the name part, but he didn't realize that was her name either. Though it was what type of mermaid or something she was. Likea race. I mean, who's named Syrena anyhow?]

Oh.... that's your name? That's pretty. [he drew back his hand and licked his fingers of the hot dog, moving to sit on the edge of the rock more.]

I'm Ben.

_{[She allowed a moment of silence to pass between them as she ate the hotdog in hand and then the next, licking her own fingers after she finished, setting her hands back into the water.]}

Hello Ben. It is nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you too. [he said with his most dashing and charming smile. He moved now, grabbing the hot dog bag (there were still 3 or so in it) and shifted down the rock moving to another one, a little lower and closer to the water. He crouched on it, watching her]

You live out here? In the water?

_{[And just like the hotdogs before the one Ben's offering now, Syrena takes it.]}

The sea is my home, even if these waters are not my original home.

And you just live out here eating hot dogs and fish? [he asked, confused, letting her take what he had brought. He perched on the lower rock, watching her.]

I hunt for fish. I do not get to eat hotdogs often.

Oh. So only fish? [he didn't care much for Fish, so clearly he needs to ask Dean to come out here more so they can feed her hot dogs] That sucks. There's a lot of better food around.

I enjoy fish. _{[Clearly Ben doesn't know what he's missing.]} Do you like pie?
