Open Finished Beach Party!!!!

“Apologies. I was not intending to court you. I am sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable.” Sasha apologized, although the other girl didn’t seem to take it too bad, passing it off with a laugh. She watched Shiro grab another cup of punch, somewhat concerned with her carelessness in its acquisition, although if this was her second serving, it was likely she had already checked thoroughly the first time for contaminants.


“I patrol.” She stated bluntly. Despite acquiring sentience, she had yet to truly accept it in a way, choosing to remain guided by her initial programming. Something about the idea of being without it, without a goal, having to find her own way didn’t seem like it seemed good. It didn’t feel like it was good. Something about it made her logical processors and stealth protocols go awry. What would she do without it? Would she even have a purpose anymore? These kinds of thoughts permeated through the robotic girls head, and although she didn't understand that it was what she was feeling, it was terrifying to her.

"I patrol." She repeated in her soft monotone, dismissing the very apparent bugs in her system. @Saber

Ali Beauregard had been to plenty of parties before, but never a 'grown-up' party, hosted by college kids and everything. Not until tonight, when she wove herself into the crowd that took up the secluded beach. She headed straight for one of the snack tables, her eyes scanning the people she passed for a familiar face. Not that she expected to find one.

Alison set a timer on her phone as she grabbed and nibbled on a chip, deciding she'd head home if nothing happened by the time the alarm went off. At least if someone got hurt, she'd be there to help.

Haven wasn’t mingling. He had the feeling that him awkwarding it up at one of the punch bowls was making a clear message to not mingle with him. He looked around, just for anyone now. He saw a few people he believed to be around his age, but he wasn’t entirely sure. He finally saw a red haired girl who looked to be roughly the same age. She looked just about as awkward as he was so he decided to go over to her. He drank some more of his punch. He couldn’t tell if it had alcohol in it or not... he didn’t think so?

He finally got there and nodded at Ali. “Uhhh, hi. It’s uh... sure is a party??” Smooth small talk Haven.

Alison jumped when someone approached and started talking...to her? She looked around to make sure that yes, there was no one else behind or beside her, and blinked up at this scruffy brown-haired guy. At least he looked kind of cute. And...smelled nice? Why did she realize that?

"Hey," she said before going for another chip. At least these things tasted good. She regretted not bringing a purse to stuff full with them, but she didn't want it to get stolen. "It is a party. Don't you look a little young to be here?" ...Not that she could talk, since they probably weren't that far apart in the years.

"There are college kids everywhere."

When Natasha reemerged from the water, the young girl brushed a lock of her wet hair from her face. Natasha had not thought to tie up her hair before getting in the water. And as her hand moved the stray hair, Natasha felt her breath catch in her throat. She knew this person, but how... she'd not met any young girls like her on the island. However, the smile was so familiar and the more she talked, Natasha knew she knew her too.

"Wings and clubs..." she repeated in surprise, starting to suspect something, but what she wasn't sure yet. Natasha then dove down iunder the water again and emerged right up close to her. Searching the girl's face for a second, she began to see some similarities, it was uncanny, but could it be... "Aaron?" she asked very hesitantly, hoping the girl didn't think Natasha was hitting on her or worse, a crazy lunatic.

Haven smirked a little as he looked her up and down. "You don't exactly look like you're in college either." He drank more of his punch, and quickly found that he had finished it. He had absolutely no idea where to discard the cup, and would definitely feel bad just throwing it onto the ground. So he just holds it. "Well I guess the hosts are in college, so most the people here are also gonna be in college." He crossed his arms as he thought a little.

He offered a small smile at Ali. "I'm Haven, by the way." At least he was socialising now. He felt the tiniest bit tingly and warm, but he striked that up to be nerves. After all, he had never been to a school dance, let alone a full on party. Remembering the fact he had never been to something like that was due to his mother, but now she couldn't stop him, actually made him feel giddy rather than spiteful this time.

@Lucidity

Cam grinned and set a hand against his chest, bowing slightly.
"Well, thank goodness my middle name is social floater. With me here you could basically consider everyone here your friend. Or maybe 50%, since I am humble enough to lower the percentage."
Cam snickered and also downed the rest of his drink, dodging a couple going by. Cam looked around and smiled, as an extrovert he was in his element in this kind of environment. Cam took a deep cleansing breath.

"Ah, I knew it. I just can't keep it contained. I wonder if power bracelets work on natural charm as well?"
Cam laughed and then smirked, shaking his empty drink at Ethan.
"Just so you know, cola is the drink of gods. Or at least that's what I used to say, but here there's actual gods so maybe I should find one and ask if they prefer alcohol or cola."

Cam followed right after Ethan to the drink table and opened his mouth to answer the guy when he heard a familiar voice. Cam spun around and smiled widely at Kal.
"Oh my gosh, Kal! It's so good to see a familiar face! What are you doing here, sir?"
Cam grinned mischievously as he used their little inside joke.
"And do I really seem like such a party animal? Well, I guess I'm at least part animal now, and I like to party, but still."
Cam tried to feign a hurt look but failed pretty miserably, just keeping on grinning. Then he shushed Kal a bit and glanced at Ethan, small sly, joking smile on his face.
"Don't blow my cover. I can't reveal my secret identity as a charismatic gorgeous explorer, the balance of nature would be thrown off."
Cam snickered and turned around so he was standing by Kal, smiling at Ethan.
"Hey Ethan, this is Kal, a friend of mine."

Alison stuck out her tongue at Haven for his comeback. "Yeah, I guess I just wanted to see what it was all about. I'm definitely not touching those drinks, though; rule number two of A Girl's Guide to Partying." She took a small handful of chips and shoved them into Haven's empty cup before he could pull it away. "They're pretty good. You should try some."

She put her phone in her windbreaker's pocket and nodded. "Haven, nice name. I'm Alison Beauregard." After another chip, she said, "At least this party isn't a total bust. Why are you here, anyways? Curiosity? Party addict?"
