sirenspull_logs | 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!!!

Uh. Yeah, but...

[Aw, jeez. She seems so interested too.]

Hey, I'll take you swimming, okay? Just-just not today. I'm a little, uh.

[Drunk.]

Tired. Y'know?

She laughs.

"Yes. Tired... Perhaps you should sleep, Monsieur?"

"Yeah...I think I might do that, soon."

I might sleep here tonight. On the beach. I miss the stars.

[And has completely forgotten about monsters]

Splash, gurgle, flail!

"No! N'n'n'n'no missy, if you wanna die then don't announce your plans! I'm not gonna let you do that."

Hiccough, groan.

"Maaan, you made me swallow some."

"YOSUKE!"

She splashes after him, and bends down to make sure he's okay.

"Will you be sick now?"

This is getting to be a really bad habit.

"I do not want to die. I like it here."

He didn't swallow enough to get sick from, he's pretty sure. But that's not really the big concern here anyway. Eponine is a very upsetting girl at times, though she doesn't seem to know it.

"I told you, there's things out here! In the dark. They tear people apart. You can't, arright? Just go home and sleep there like a good girl."

"Ah yes. The monsters."

Eponine sits down quite happily in the shallows, drenched, but enjoying the splashing.

"That is the bad thing about here. I miss sleeping outside. I like to see the stars."

"One day when I get strong, 'k?"

It's a promise, though it probably comes across as gibberish. He won't ever be confident enough to let her sleep outside, maybe. But he can stand guard some day while she has a quick peek at the stars, anyway.

She bursts out laughing - sorry, Yosuke. But so far, she has seen you chucking up, having your first sexual experience, face painting and now drunk. Some hero.

"You will protect me from the monsters? I can take care of myself you know!"

That's upsetting. His face falls at the laughter, and suddenly he's aware of just how ridiculous he must look.

No wonder the girls are never impressed.

"That's all the more reason for me to. You've been trying long enough."

But he sinks a little lower, 'til only his eyes are above the water line. It's cold, but at least no one can see his face.

"I would like that." SShe says it softly, as she wades over to Yosuke again, and crouches down in the water, copying his stance. She doesn't much like it - and then realises she can't breathe and water is swilling into her face and up her nose. She stands quickly, spitting water and coughing.

Yosuke's eyes widen and he stumbles his way over, tripping and splashing more often than not. "Hey!"

She's still coughing but laughing as well.

"Monsieur, you are okay? I forgot I could not breathe!"

Or perhaps she wants to let him rescue her, because she trips now, going back under. It's cold - but not as cold as the Seine!

Aw, damn it. He's so useless at the moment, he just stumbles after her and reaches around fretfully in the water. Then he falls on his ass again, and grunts unhappily.

"Hold still!"

He'd love to save Eponine, but the water is moving and the land seems to be moving and Eponine is moving...it's all really disorienting. Crap.

Oh YOSUKE. She was trying SO hard to make it up to you.

"Monsieur, you are okay?" She stands up quickly. "Perhaps it is best if we went to the shore? I think you are - uh - tired."

Oh, good. She's not drowning. That's good. Yosuke nods at her suggestion. Yeah, dry land is probably safer.

"'K."

He paddles closer again and then makes a wobbly attempt at standing, which ends with him spluttering indignantly again. Damn it. It takes him a few more tries to get to where he can crawl up onto the beach again. Oof. Saving drowning girls is a lot of work...

OH Yosuke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU are tiring!!

She comes and plops down next to him, trying not to laugh.

"Are you alright?"

"Mmhm, yeah. Good. Fine. You?"

He tries to be discreet about spitting out the sand he just got in his teeth. Eurgh...

" Of course, monsieur."

She's gonna ignore the sand.

"You are hungry?"

"No, it just got in my mouth by mistake."

He wrinkles his nose, and gets to his hands and knees.

You need a hand to stand?

[She's watching in great amusement. Oh Yosuke...]

No, no...just a minute. I'm good.

[Swaying a little, even before he gets upright, but that doesn't count as a real problem, right? He'll just find something to lean against.]
