"Oh, sorry. That was mine."
Julie recollects her cup in a flashstep, chucking it into her sylladex to dispose of later, and steps back to her 'spot'.
"Hah, oh wow. Anyone want to up some music or what?"

You catch the bottle out of the sky (Sweet Catch!) and sniff the green liquid. It smells like vodka, but you're really uncertain about it.
You watch in bemusement as Anna mimes a curtsy back. She's cute, in a spooky goth girl way. "I'm not sure," You reply to her, "But I think that the powers I was able to use were a result of Nyx's Blessing. I assume I'll need to go about earning them back the hard way."
You waggle the bottle at her, seeing she has one of her own. "Do you have any idea what this stuff is?" You ask her.

Ben hears a request for music. He runs to the radio, hits the off button and says, "I got this." He pulls out a fray motif, activates it, and pulls out his trumpet. He then begins to improvise along with the beat. ((Refer to link for ambiance- m.youtube.com/watch?v=zqNTltOGh5c))

Annalise supposed the music was a nice touch. Ben wasn't half bad. She made a note to pester him about musical collaboration later on. Mostly so she could impress him with her awesomely powerful set of powerfully awesome pipes. That were awesome.
"I'll answer, Outer Prince." Only took her like two minutes of awkwardly silent typing on her Squiddletop. "It is likely some form of slightly Dream contaminated swill, given who gave it to you. If your Sleep Stat is glitched upon drinking it, well. Tough luck." She nodded sagely, at least in response to what she considered sage advice. "You are still are strongest member. Besides me, I mean. While the rest of these peons work on their Denizens perhaps we can get some real work done? Just you and me." A wink. Was that even innuendo?

You blink. The strongest members? While that did sound nice, you didn't feel like you were quite there yet. Yes, you seemed to have glitched out your Mangrit, and your ARC was still off the charts, but your grasp over your aspect was dwindling and you lost most of the powers you'd temporarily gained.
But you were determined to gain them back.
"Yeah, I really do want to get down to business." You pause. "Business being, y'know, game stuff." You felt the need to clarify. "I need to continue where I left off with my Land, regain the powers I lost, et cetera. And, Nyx went back to 'sleep', so I'm not exactly done with that yet." You fold your arms. "But, you have arous- I mean you piqued my curiosity."
You slide the green liquid back in the fridge, deciding not the risk it. You'll have to ask someone with more alchemy skill to make some alcohol. Not that you're desperate for a drink, you're not a damn alcoholic. It would just be nice in this situation to break the ice. Though the music was nice.

Ben stops playing to grab a drink, turning the radio back up in the process. "Back in a few, I need to rest guys" he said with a wink. He walks over to a rather large fridge closer to the water, and pulls open the door expecting to grab a nice glass of orange juice.
He pulled the handle and opened the door. Inside, completely conked out, was Jenny. Right... that was a little weird. Aside from slightly snoring, she seemed to be fine. So, he respected her (probably well deserved) nap, reached around her and grabbed a bottle of OJ.
Walking back to the main group and kicking back in the sand, he said "so if anyone was looking for Jenny, you can stop, cause she's in the fridge."

You're extremely startled when Annalisse brings out her drink. You've never seen ichor in person, but... but that looks like ichor. Having just gotten rid of your corruption, you really do not want to risk being near something that could give you more. You shuffle nervously away from her and head back over to your beach towel to sit down.
Just watching everyone relax and have fun is nice in its own way. You've never been much of one for parties and casual socializing like this, but you're content to sip at your drink and enjoy the sunshine and music. You giggle a bit when Ben reveals that Jenny's been sitting in a fridge this whole time; normally you'd be more concerned, but for some reason right now it just seems hilarious. Your head feels kind of funny; could it be some sort of after effect from the corruption?
(It's not. The drink Ben gave you had alcohol in it. But you don't know that.)

Ben takes another sip of his drink and reclines. The music is great, the company is good and the ice is finally broken. Sure, one of your co-players is currently on ice (jeez you need to have a serious talk with her one of these days), but the mood is great. Even Mica is beginning to come around!
Maybe a little too much, actually.... He seems a little giggly.
As the song changes to an upbeat dance number, he grabs Will and Julie by the hands and exclaims, "Come on guys, let's dance!"

Julie continues enjoying the world and starts to dance after checking a fridge to make sure some future or past version of her wasn't in it (the strangest thoughts get into her head), until an idea resurfaces.
"You know, I've been thinking...If it's possible to solo Yaldabaoth, wouldn't the whole session together be able to take down Ananke by force? If everyone outside of standing bets godtiers, we're fielding a lot of firepower...And frankly, I just hate her for some reason and I don't know why, and I haven't even met her yet."
She trails off as she dances to the song, muttering battle plans to the future and the past.

You watch as Ben tries to rope people into dancing and giggle some more. That actually looks kind of... fun. You've never really danced at a party before, but for some reason, you don't currently feel as self-conscious as you normally would about all the half-naked flailing about. You rise to your feet, wobbling juuust a little, and hop over to join your coplayers in dancing.
"You know, maybe you could... hehe... challenge anon... ahn... Ananke to a dance off or something. Beat her that way," you joke to Julie.

Oh boy, shit just hopped straight into drunken spring break territory reaaally fast.
You're upset you're not in on this.
You make your way over to Mica, who's slurringly suggesting a dance off, and put your arm around him as you grab his cup with your other hand, downing it all in one gulp. "I think you've had enough, buddy." You say. Yeah, that's why you did that.

==> Girl in the fridge: Wake up.
You are now Jenny Owens. The fridges were great places to pass out and avoid sunburn, though when you realized there was music around you, you suddenly realized what was happening. It was the party.
You had long been planning to be ready for it at any moment - always being down to chill felt right with the Shade. You captchalogued the hoodie and jeans you had on, revealing inside the fridge not only a nice aqua bikini, but also the tan you'd been working on for the first several days after you'd arrived on your land. It was the first time you'd ever been anything other than outrageously pale, and you felt you actually looked pretty darn good. Finally, you reached to the back of your head, and pulled away the hair elastic that maintained your ponytail, allowing it a rare occasion to flow down to the middle of your back.
This was the hottest you'd looked in - probably ever. You'd taken out all the stops in preparation. You gave your AI, Adam, one simple command: Run J0-C3.exe. As it began to run, the theme from a specific meme began to play. You kicked open the door. "AND HER NAME IS JEN OWENS!" You roared as you leaped out of the fridge.

Game for Wiggler Girls of Ornate Seating Receptacles, the shorthand for the Troll version of Game of Thrones, had really gone downhill for most of it's viewers after the third season, but Annalise found she enjoyed the innumerable shitty romantic triangles that twisted and turned onto themselves into pentagrams that-
"AND HER NAME IS JEN OWENS!"
Oh yes, that's right, she was at a party. Annalise stared for a few seconds, mostly because of the bikini, then shrugged internally. Externally she just stared coldly, though maybe lingered at the fleshy parts a bit too long. Anyways, the rest of the party still seemed to be happening. Mica seemed drunk, which was an unfathomably adorable thought. She thought on the bet she'd made earlier. With a little more alchohol... she sipped at her virgin ichor. Thoughtfully. Ominously. She sipped too hard and a bit of ichor spilled out of the lap of the straw and into the lap of the girl. Ominously.
Wait, she had things to say still. First, that Game for Wiggler Girls of Ornate Seating Receptacles did not deserve the review thoughtlessSpectacles gave it on the review boards. Second:
"Outer prince! Let the Bane fall to the power of ethels and attend to me! I will tell you, in full, the plan that I have schemed!" Her eyes didn't linger on him for long. They traveled, back and forth. Damn, was everyone in this session hot? What of the crazy candy Rangoon troll? Would she also be a hellacious, bodacious eyeful?

Your empty stomach was churning from the sudden onslaught of alcohol, and you turned suddenly at the sound of shitty trumpets as a girl in a blue bikini kicked open a refrigerator and lept out, shouting her name for all to hear.
Damn it. Was every girl in this session hot and crazy?
Your train of thought is interrupted by the -other- hot/crazy one, who offers to explain more to you about her plans for power.
You saunter over and stand over her at a rather unflattering angle, arms folded. "I don't think taking advantage of a drunk boy is going to work out well for you." You tell her, before plopping down in the sand. "Alright, what's your big scheme for us?"

"Huh?--Hey!" you whine as your drink is snatched from your hand. "I was drinking that--!" you protest, making grabby hands at the bottle, but it's no use as Will drinks it all down. Then you realize he's got an arm around you, and the skin-on-skin contact combined with the alcohol makes you turn a little pink. With this height difference, you're more at armrest level than anything. "Heh... You know, you're a lot taller than I thought you would be--" you start, only to be cut off by a sudden shout. You turn to look, laughing gleefully at Jenny's dramatic entrance.
Annalise's words confuse you a bit--ethels?--and then Will is walking away from you again, aw. Drunk boy? You're not... wait. "Was there... was there alcohol in that?" you ask, brow knitting in confusion. You glance at Ben, who gave you the drink in the first place.
