Summary; It's a bonfire at the beach, come enjoy yourselves!
Log; Sam needed something like this, something to get his mind off of the crap he had to deal with back home and the fact that Mikaela wasn't here. Also, off of the crazy alien symbols in his head.

The wood was all stacked up and to refuel the fire that was already going (and burning green, thanks to whatever amazing stuff Anthony had put in it) and the two couches he had snagged were placed around the fire to sit on for now and to burn later. A few old logs had also been commandeered for seating and probably eventual burning. A couple of tables had been snagged also to put all the stuff for smores as well as the roasting sticks. Or the stick-thingies, if you were Tony. Paper cups and plates were also there as well. Theoretically, just about everything that was here could be burned. Doing dishes with fire was awesome.

Everything that Sam hadn't managed, Chuck had taken care of. The man definitely seemed to know how to plan a party. All that was left now was for people to start arriving.

Chuck never attended a bonfire before, but he figured that since he isn't allowed to drink yet (damn the Irish Hellhound, pardon me Eden), he shouldn't torment himself by showing up at Victrola. And a big party with additional extertainment was always something worth his time.

And since Tony agreed to make it a bigger event, Chuck was expecting quite a crowd, since a lot of people expressed their interest. The couch burning was apparently the key to a successful party if there wasn't free beer offered.

Chuck sat on one of the couches, since he fully deserved the space. Not only he was behind the entire event, but he was recovering from the damn flu as well. He wondered briefly if Blair and Serena were going to show up, but he quickly distracted himself from that trail of thoughts.

This was his first party in a week that he's been sick. He wanted to make the most of it.

So Blair Waldorf was at a bonfire party hosted by someone whose name has never even once occurred in any social diary. And she heard they were going to burn couches, and use plastic cups and plates, then burn those too. How middle-class, she thought, but it wasn't like she didn't expect it. Her reason for being here was to see Chuck, he was finally better now, and he was her best friend's stepbrother after all. She had decided to come, so here she was.

Still this was Blair we are talking about, looking out of place all dressed up in her Miu Miu (http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q231/ephemericon/miumiu-1.jpg) ensemble, she was sulking because she could. Then finally, she spotted Chuck lounging on one of the couches. She made her way to him as gracefully as she could, trudging barefoot on the sand, then dropped her heels on the couch beside him.

"I saw someone running around in boxers." She scowled.

Sam was definitely making the most of this party. So far he'd had three hot dogs and four smores and was working on his fifth. Focusing so intently on making as perfectly roasted a marshmallow as he could was a decent distraction. Booze would be better but he was a little leery of that with how crazy he had been these last couple of days.

Glancing over to one of the couches, he noticed someone sitting there that he thought he recognized.

"Hey, you're Chuck," he said, walking over and offering his hand. "I'm Sam."

Anthony wasn;'t exactly a party person. He didn't like crowds and he didn't like talking to strangers. Sure, talking to people he didn't know over the Network was still talking to strangers, but for some reason it was easier. Anonymous over the Internet, he supposed.

But the couch burning... That got him excited. One thing led to another and before he knew, he promised Sam to make the flames green. Wasn't the most mature thing in the world, but hell, right there and then, he didn't really care. Plus, maybe it would do him good to actually meet people in the City.

And he promised Thomas to videotape the couch. The thought got him smiling again. Yeah, it's going to be awesome.

Rogue had worked that night and was still in her uniform of leather pans and black shirt, all black save for her white gloves. She was coming a bit late and making her way to find Remy when she passed by a guy who she couldn't help but think looked slightly uncomfortable. She stopped in front of him and looked at the fire.

"Nevah seen a green fire," she said smiling. "Ah'm wonderin' how someone did that."

Sam had been trying to say hi to as many people as he could, eagerly looking for a distraction, and had so far been partially successful. When he saw someone filming the event he headed over to talk to them, he wished he had thought to do that.

"So is this for potentially posting on the network later to embarrass people?" Sam asked. "Or is it like an Asher Roth music video thing?"

Openest Open EVAR!

Remy loved a good party, especially in a new place. It gave you the opportunity to meet the locals, get to know the general vibe of a place...not to mention, gave you a great idea of who held the dosh. People might call Remy leBeau many things, but a passer of opportunities wasn't one of them.

Not to mention, bonfires brought back memories of late night parties on the beach way back when...when life had been simpler and his deepest worry was how to impress the girl from 7th period English. Not that that had ever been a problem.

There weren't too many people there yet, but he walked up to the modest crowd with his usually confidant, self-assured stride. He didn't think he'd met any of these folks, except, of course, Sam, but he planned on meeting a lot of people tonight, before Anna showed up, of course.

burn baby burn XD

As promised, Anthony was walking around taking pictures. The bonfire, the still untouched couch. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad, he thought to himself.

And the moment he thought that, he bumped into somebody. So much for conflict free night, good job Anthony. Jinxing yourself like that...

"Oh shit, I'm sorry man. I wasn't looking..." he appologized, looking up from the camera.

When the older man walked up to the group, Sam had a pretty good guess as to who it was. Of course, since Rogue wasn't with him to couldn't quite be sure.

"Hey, you're Remy, right?" Sam asked, walking up to him and holding out his hand.

Openest Open EVAR!

Anna had stopped to talk to a few other people before finding Remy. At least this wasn't an X-Men thing where she'd have to force herself to act like she wanted to be there. Something like this, without them it was normal and she really liked the feeling of normal.

She came up behind him quietly and put her gloved hands over his eyes, "Guess who?" she asked. Not that he wouldn't be able to guess, how many people wore gloves in the summer?

*jumps through a small plothole*

Lavi saw the other man approach the group, and turned to wave at him with his marshmallow stick. "Hey there!"

Bring your own guilty pleasures, Chuck had said. That was easy to figure out, easier than deciding what would constitute as her 200 calories for the day, even. There was food as her guilty pleasure, but not eating it, just arranging it. There was dancing dancing dancing. There was playing hide and seek. There was sex of course, but she doesn't do everyone like she used to anymore.

And then there was acid.

Cassie tottered down to the beach with a plastic bag of LSD tabs in hand, already high on the hallucinogenic. She had to first make sure it was good quality, after all, no point sharing it if it was bad. The ground beneath her felt like it was trying to throw her away into space, so she can float away. The sea sounded thunderous in her ears. It felt nice, she did not feel hungry.

"Oh wow." The bonfire was green, or maybe it was all in her head.

When Sam saw the girl, he immediately knew who she was. She was "that" girl, at the party. The one who was just a little bit out of it and kinda weird and just looking to have a good time. She just had that look to her. Or maybe it was the little bag of what was probably not her blood pressure medication in her hand.

"Hey, you okay?" Sam asked her as he walked up to her. "You look a little... distant."

Open!

Activity on the beach, that was bound to catch Jack's attention and as night began to fall he headed down to investigate.

It was looking to be a bit of the 'younger' crowd so the Captain was hanging back for the most part and being amused.

OMG HAI

[coffeenspeed.livejournal.com]

Anthony could help himself to look around from time to time. Mostly because he just wanted to set the thing on fire and step back to enjoy everything from a distance. So when he saw Captain Harkness, he smiled to himself, happy to see a familiar face in the crowd.

He made his way to the man, looking back just once to make sure the materials for the fire where safe and undisturbed.

"Captain! I had no idea it'd be your kind of... thing," good start, he thought to himself, and then what happened? Kind of... thing. Social events were clearly affecting his ability to communicate...

Lavi noticed the man standing back from the rest of the group, and wandered over near him. "Hey," he called out in greeting as he approached. "Come to join the fun?"

Open!

[playsforkeeps]

Remy's eye's drifted to the man standing apart from the crowd. The look of him just made him chuckle. Of course, it also made him think of businessmen, and that piqued his interest.

He decided to make his way over and introduce himself.

"You know, homme, you remind me of de man wit de black van outside the elementary school, minus de van o' course."

Tony didn't know how "up" he was to a party, but getting home to his own bed, his entertainment system, his couch, and sheets that didn't smell like hospital was something he wasn't going to try his hardest to celebrate properly.

That and he wanted marshmallows, and with the difficulty of enticing his stomach lately it could only be a good thing to follow the cravings.

So he found himself resting on the not burnt yet couch, a stick-thingie in hand lifting a marshmallow to the flames and trying not to let it fall off or burn to a crisp.

pyromania FTW

[basstardchuck.livejournal.com]

Chuck joined Tony on the couch, he decided to pass on the marshmallows, but he was spoting a nonalcoholic drink in his hand. Yeah, yeah, moving on from that humiliating fact.

"How's that for celebrating your freedom?" he asked with a smirk, because this party? Was turning out to be quite the event. Sam did a good job with everything, though Chuck wasn't about to tell the man that.

Open to all, he wants to meet people!

Having recovered from his illness, Lavi decided it was time to get out and start gathering information about this place again... and being social was one of the best ways to do that, right? He'd read about the bonfire and figured a lot of people would be there, so he thought he'd get out and try to make some new friends. After raiding the kitchen for bonfire-friendly food and utensils, he headed out to the beach

It wasn't difficult to find the party, as the glow from the fire could be seen long before reaching the beach. Approaching the group, Lavi waved casually, setting his bag down on the sand.

It probably hasn't been the best day. In fact, it's in general been a pretty shitty month. But Eden's there, sitting at the edge of the party, a flask in hand. She isn't drunk enough for this. She isn't even nearly tipsy, yet, so she watches the party, her mouth drawn in a line. There's no smile right now. She wonders if she's forgotten how.

It's not just that John is gone, and that she saw her dad. It's that suddenly everything seems off, quiet, like she could give her sidhe it's own way and it wouldn't matter. Like her world wouldn't change. She feels like sleeping away the pain is a good idea some days. Some days more than others.

She takes another sip, and her feet, bare for once, wiggle around in the sand.

[darkest0knight.livejournal.com]

Tony was seperating himself from the bulk of people to take a bit of a break--the medication still made him tired every so often and keeling over near a fire was never a goo idea--when he saw Eden.

He made his way over to her, hands in his pockets, a questioning look on his face.

"Not a fan of fires?" he asks as he takes a seat in the sand.

Remy's eye's subconsciously drifted to the sad girl to the side, and his heart went out to her. He still wasn't sure if he knew half the people here...or even any of them, but he drifted over all the same.

"You look mighty sad, petit."

Re: Open;

[coffeenspeed.livejournal.com]

Anthony escapes the crowd after a while. It's a bit exhausting. He's surprised by how much fun he's having. Apparently being able to make the fire green is a popular skill. He's still not entire sure what to do with all those people that seem like like talking with him...

He notices a girl sitting not far from the party. She doesn't seem like she enjoys herself, but he's not the best judge when it comes to parties.

He smiles appologetically.

"Sorry, you mind if I sit? I need to take a breath from the crowd..." he explains.

There weren't exactly an abundance of girls that Rogue had talked to at the party yet and she kept looking at the girl who was just watching the party wondering if she was sad or just not a party person. Sad seemed like the more likely answer and so she finally decided to go on up and introduce herself.

"You know you don't look like you're havin' much fun," she said with a small smile.
