Torn Toga Party! [Friday evening/night]

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

The deck was completed, and ready to be used.

The workers had cleared out just in time for the food and drink to be set out, and the coloured lights to be strung along the roof.

There was music, and space to dance on the lawn, and a cool breeze to cut through the heat of the day.

[ooc: In honour of Tiny Toons being released on DVD today, there are random containers of mango juice lying about. Also, any drinks may become mango juice. If a character drinks and says 'Ah! Mango juice!' an inflatable palm tree will fall on their head. Open to all once as the OCD is up!

Mingle...

...and chat and lounge in the chairs or sit on the benches or simply admire the awesome deck.

Hannibal took a seat in one of the chairs, stretching his legs out and holding a class of juice loosely in one hand.

Cal was definitely the sort to grab a nice refreshing pop, have a seat, and relax, enjoying the nice deck and the people watching, and pondering whether it was okay to smoke out here.

He took a thoughtful sip.

"Ah! Mango juice!" he declared, upon realization that it was definitely not his pop, only to find himself then bonked on the head with an inflatable palm tree.

"What the--!"

He took another sip and tucked the palm tree under his arm; he glanced skyward but, seeing no signs of where it came from, just shrugged, and decided that it was his inflatable palm tree now. Ha.

This almost didn't happen. Once Chad (in Kaylee's body) ducked out of work earlier to make it to the toga party (although he was not in a toga; the clothes that Kaylee was wearing at the mindswap would remain on her body until they swapped back. Chad figured it would be way too rude to change her clothes, all things considered), he had intended on just gravitating toward the food, eying the chairs on the deck a little wistfully.

It would have been a shame to get new chairs and then break them right off the bat, he thought to himself, until he realized, wait a second! He was all little and stuff now! Well, little-er. He could sit on any chair he wanted and actually have to try to break it!

So there was a very excited looking Chad (in Kaylee's body) almost (almost; he was still Chad, after all) bouncing in one of the chairs.

Just for practice, Brooke swiped a drink from somewhere random and felt really sort of accomplished.

At least till she sipped it. Maybe she just couldn't taste the vodka.

Meg was lounging on one of the chairs with a glass of juice in her hand. She had gotten a mango juice so she wasn't surprised when she took a sip and found it tasting mangoey. Good thing. She wouldn't like being hit with a inflatable tree.

Johnny was having a hard time getting used to the face he now sported. To the body. He should have read those brain-swapping that is still being played out la posters better because What. The. Hell?

Look at him! He was a walking talking alien!

He hadn't gone back to his room. Nor had he tried to find Savannah. His hotness was... gone. This really crimped his style man.

He tried to blend in and grabbed a glass of juice. He would think about drinking it. His mouth felt weird.

Chuck was in a lounge chair, sipping on a drink. He had to keep adding vodka to his drink from a flask he had in his pocket. For some reason the drink kept losing it's kick. And he could have sworn he had gotten pineapple juice. This tasted like something else.

Adah was hardly the mingling type; in fact, as she settled in a chair amidst the thick of things on the deck, she occasionally sent a longing glance toward the various spots on the lawn she would have much rather have claimed as her own. However, while the basic part of the experiment had come and passed, the meat of her research was still to be had. She had a notebook balanced precariously in her lap and her eyes were wide and observant, tracking the various victims volunteers that had participated and chosen to interact at the party and keeping slow and careful notes on their behaviors. Ways that they moves that showed adaptations to their new physicality, compared to what they might have been used to when they came in. She sipped occasionally and idly at her drink, but, for the most part, it went untouched, her work far too fascinating to be drawn away from. She felt like she was at the center of a giant, roiling petri dish, overflowing with life and activity. It gave her chills, occasionally racking through her body violently and causing a great big squiggly line to dash through her notes.

Amber (in Inara's body) was so pretty! The brain-swapping which still has to be played out la wasn't so bad after all. She was shorter, of course, and more... hourly glass shaped. Her boobs were... oh my gosh bigger. She felt serene and graceful and wasn't she just pretty?

She smiled and didn't feel like sitting down just yet. She enjoyed the way she was moving, and helped herself to a glass of mango juice.

She always wondered what it was like to have long, dark hair though not at all like Becky Leeman, the little bitch.

You couldn't keep Eve away from a party, even in a different body. The aforementioned different body just meant that she really, really wanted a drink.

But she wouldn't get drunk. At least, not too drunk, this being Michael's body and all. But she could still get her drink on, she figured.

... if she could find a drink that wasn't turning into mango juice.

Re: Mingle...

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela hadn't found any real downsides of bodyswitching yet. Bizarre, yes. But also, probably a good experience.

At least, that was what she was telling herself as she mingled.

Re: Mingle...

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas wasn't one for togas, but he could enjoy a party. He grabbed himself a drink and was surprised by the flavor.

"Huh? Ah, mango juice!" Lucas was promptly struck by a plastic palm tree.

"Does everything here always have to be weird?" he muttered.

Teyla had decided a while ago that she was going to try to be more social as the summer continued, and she was determined to not let her temporary...body get in the way. Food and drinks didn't seem to be an issue, or an option really, so she made herself content searching the crowd and seeing who else had come out.

[I will catch up on pings around 10pm, but I couldn't resist, really.]

Blair had a toga. It was closer in shape to a draped, Greek-inspired dress, but still. Blair appreciated parties with themes.

Now to attend said party and see if it was any better than hers.

The funny tasting drinks were not helping.

Re: Mingle...

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

Dōjima wasn't one for togas, so she opted for something a bit more modern (http://www.bluefly.com/pages/products/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2048127737&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2093169169&N=2093169169&Ne=500000&Ns=Popularity%7c0%7c%7cProduct%2bCode%7c1&Nu=Product+ID) as she set out to mingle. She wasn't going to miss a party just because Romeo felt like being a recluse.

[ihaveniceteeth.livejournal.com]

And there was Gwen, mingling. And shifting awkwardly as she hadn't quite settled into this body yet.

Eat and drink

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

And be merry. There's all kinds of party food and party drink set out at various places.

And inexplicably a lot of stealth mango juice.

Re: Eat and drink

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

If there was anything Ronon knew it was that copious amounts of free food were a good thing. Plate filled with finger foods, he consumed while he people-watched, wondering who decided on the bed sheet theme.

Re: Eat and drink

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

The only reason Marco was there because there was free food. And yes, those who knew Toby could be puzzled by the fact that he appeared to be wearing a shirt.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

She'd skipped on the last big gathering, so Mac forced herself to make an appearance at this one.

Yes, the toga name was so Frat party it almost made her twitch, but so long as she kept on the fringes and while she picked at the food, Mac could almost ignore it. Almost.

Re: Eat and drink

[harrydresden.livejournal.com]

Harry was a fan of free food, as were most teenage boys. Harry also had not been taking enough advantage of the free food offered here. He meant to make up for that tonight.

Out on the lawn

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

There's room to dance, and a horseshoe pit set up, along with a limbo stick for seeing how low you can go.

Let's hope everyone wore underthings beneath their togas.

Re: Out on the lawn

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

Lee wasn't wearing a toga (mostly because he wasn't sure what one was) but he was out on the lawn, sitting around one of the fire pits and enjoying the new area.

OOC

Tiny Toons was finally released on DVD! It was laceycantile's idea to celebrate this event by paying homage to the Kon-Ducky sketch with mango juice and falling palm trees. <3 <3 <3

Sorry it's up so late, I was zonked and slept through the alarm.
