You approached Mica, and hand him a fresh bottle of bleach. "Huh, I always expected alcohol would count as a poison for a doom player and just do nothing. Anyway, yeah I've got basically got everything in these fridges. All the non-alcohol poison is clearly marked for the sake of everyone who isn't you." You chuckled - not because anything you had just said was comedic, but because you remembered that there was a bottle of Royal Hawaiian Pineapple-Orange Faygo with a 'Poison?' label lying around somewhere.
You stretched, yawning and looking around. Adam had logged what he could pick up of the basic introductions from inside the fridge for you, and politely erased the rest. With his help you were able to match name to name to face, though some made it easier than others. TG - Julie - was pretty much as expected, and Annalise's ink was just... something you felt was best left without comment, and made her a dead giveaway for WA. All that was left was differentiating the two boys you had yet to meet - thankfully, one had just been through hell and back and you probably would have been able to figure out who goosedTracklete (AKA Will) was without your latent shinysense - being able to see shinies made it easy. This left the last person who you hadn't met in person as alphaNumeric - Ben.
That's when you remembered that, with GT's arrival, your session had seven people - not six. rottenTryhard was missing in action. You instructed Adam to send RT a message to come join the rest of you, just in case it was your responsibility to invite him.
"So... what've I missed so far?"

Ethels? Ethyls. However, the last thing that would ever cross Annalise's cherry black lips would be admission of a mistake.
"It will work out well for me, it's a veritably foolproof plan. At least, only an idiot could mess it up!" Case in point, soon to come. She glanced up at him, not in the slightest afraid of how he utterly towered over her while she was seated. For that matter, even when he was also seated. Maybe she was slightly jealous, the height differential approaching distances impossible to bridge for all the wonders of technology and magic. Puberty, like the many other trappings of flesh, had let her down. At least she had her beach bod.
"Exile the Black Queen and steal her ring. A Prince of Void guided by a Maid of Mist with as much experience as myself should be able to manage such a feat by midgame, via the usual exile mechanism and some miscellaneous Dreaming shennanigans." That Will wouldn't likely know, being a first sessioner, but details and all. "Defeating the Black Queen in such a way will trigger the usual conditional flags that mark the fall of Derse, making endgame so easy even our inglorious leader couldn't screw it up." She took a breath. A dramatic pause, the perfect caesura for further revelation. "That's all. Think on it. I have more important matters to attend to."
Her eyes already cast away, returning to her screen. A nasty flame war to start, more episodes to watch. Much to do outside of the realm of meatspace.

You listen as she describes a plan to usurp the black queen and snatch the ring. Is she done talking to you? She's staring at her computer screen. Yep, she's done talking to you.
You go to rejoin the party.
Feeling the sun (sun? there wasn't really a sun to speak of.) beating down on you made you remember that you were on a beach and you hadn't touched the water yet. That was basically sacrilege for a Pisces, not that you believed that signs had anything to do with your personality. That would just be ridiculous, unlike everything else that has become your life for the past month or so.
You take a running start and, using impeccable form, launch yourself through the air 10 feet into the water. You could have just flown, but that wasn't as fun.
"CANNONBALL!"

"Oh right, this is a beach party." Julie remembered out loud, muttering a reaction image to herself. " " With a flashstep she hopped toward the water...and promptly stumbled on an airstep she planned to chain, bellyflopping on the water. Ow. Righting herself in the oceanic whatever, she laughed inappropriately.

You know, you think you're starting to understand what Will meant. Everyone in the session is hot. Like everyone. Jenny is no exception. What an entrance, as well! Maybe she wasn't all there mentally, but who cares in a game where everyone is crazy anyway? Feeling mildly weak in the knees, you walk up to her and try to think of what to say. You hear her ask what she's missed, and smoothly slide into the conversation.
"Not much. Though it would've been nice to warn us beforehand that some of the drinks in these fridges might be spiked. I see you've already encountered the result of that." Yea Ben, real smooth, you think to yourself.
"And sorry Mica, I didn't know the drink was spiked," you say with an apologetic smile and a wink, "though it seems like you're having more fun now."

You enjoy the weightlessness of floating in the waves, feeling the tension drain out of you. Your mind drifts as much as your body in the water, and you're reminded of those times at home when you could escape to the water.
Eventually, you begin wading your way back towards the shore. As your feet hits the sand, it clings to your skin and splays up the back of your legs.
You hate sand. It's course and rough, and it gets everywhere.
You walk towards the new girl that had been chilling in the fridge, deciding you should introduce yourself. You pick up your hoodie as you walk past it, but refrain from putting it back on, instead opting to dry yourself off with it.
"Hey, I'm Will." You say, sticking out your hand towards her.

Ben approached you, and made a very solid point "I didn't consider that I'd be asleep when you all arrived - I know what everything is." You quickly step over to a fridge and pull out a cool blue drink. "Like this one. It's sweet and spiked."
You take a sip as goosedTracklete approaches and introduces himself. "Jenny." You respond, shaking his outstretched hand.

Having met everyone but the troll (who you were really excited to meet, you've never seen an alien before) you feel pretty satisfied with your first few hours in the new session. Sure, Annalise was a little out there and apparently one of the other girls had a Horrorterror in her head, but it was a slight improvement over your previous situation.
You pull your hoodie back over your head before you're subjected to a sunburn, deciding the beach party was finally winding down. And you know what happens after a beach party.
"Who's up for a campfire and some stories?" You ask to the group.

Kiremi Chacol was late.
Not even fashionably late - at this point, he was unequivocally, remarkably late to what was supposed to be a wonderful beach party where he got to meet his new coplayers. This was definitely made worse by the fact that he was really excited to meet everyone! But, well, he was just... so damn nervous! He felt like his heart was in his throat, and he'd spent the last 5 minutes just doing breathing exercises that RD had taught him in an attempt to calm down.
It wasn't really working, if he was being honest with himself here. He'd even put on swimming trunks for this, although he was still wearing a baggy long sleeved shirt. He wasn't quite ready to go anywhere shirtless just yet. He sighed to himself, dropping the breathing exercises. There was nothing for it really. He was just going to have to face it! "Throw yourself at the problem till it goes away", as FF used to say!
Wow, he really didn't need to be thinking of her right now.
Pushing all thoughts out of his head, he let himself fall back into Space, letting his Whisperings guide his portal over to wherever the party was occurring on the Land of Beaches and Fridges. Opening his eyes even though he hadn't realised he had closed them, Kiremi looked around to see the amassed group of people that he guessed must be his coplayers. He couldn't actually tell who anyone was based on appearance, and suddenly he felt all of the calming feelings he had amassed earlier fly out of him. He'd landed right in the middle of them, and they were probably doing something! And he'd just barged in! Blood rushed to his face- he must have been flushing pink- everyone would know he was a weird mutant- his heart felt like it was trying to punch its way out of his chest- he- they- he- this had been a terrible idea!
"H-Hi!" he managed to squeak, pulling determinedly at his sleeve as though that could somehow distract from the mild waves of anxiety rolling through him. They must all think he looked like a total idiot!

"Aww, that's so cute." the voice of Lillian the Corrupter came out of Julie as she surfaced and joined the party.
Blinking the Misty Rain out of her brain again and her eyes from an abnormal-looking dark green to their normal blue, Julie noticed someone had showed up and she had been moved to the party area again.
"Oh, hi!" the actual Julie says.
((OOC: that moment when you use the wrong account oops.))

"Mh... I guess it's okay Ben... though it's a good thing 'm not Law right now, the Word would be so ashamed," you say with a sigh.
You accept the bottle of bleach from Jenny, simply giving a shrug in response to her musings about Doom players and alcohol, and pop the lid off to take a sip. Hm, probably not your favorite that you'd tried so far; it had sort of a dry taste, and lacked the other cleaning fluids' citrusy tangs. You watch and giggle as a couple of your coplayers make dramatic leaps into the water; it looks fun, but you don't trust yourself not to do something stupid like losing your glasses in the water if you really are drunk.
"That sounds fun! Anyone have marshmel... marshmallow--" you say in response to Will's suggestion, only to be cut off by the sudden appearance of a new person. With the grey skin and horns, there's only one person this can be.
"RT!" you exclaim gleefully, hurrying over to the newcomer and hugging him. "You finally made it! Wow you're as adorable as I was expecting."

Drying off with the aid of a conveniently decaptcha'd towel, Julie decaptchas a bag of marshmallows and tosses it onto one of the fridges.
"Adorable troll is adorable." she seconds.

Kiremi's gills blush pink as one of the humans calls him cute, and he's about to stutter a response to her greeting when suddenly his arms are full of a short, bespectacled human. An "Um!" is almost forced out of his throat in surprise, and he has absolutely no idea what to do in this situation at all. It feels kind of nice, but it's also making him feel nauseous in a way he can't explain. "Umm!" he says again, because he really has no idea what else to say. He's really not used to being called adorable so much in the space of a few seconds.

You pull back from the hug and smile at Kiremi. That pink is so cute! You've only met trolls with green and yellow blood before. Normally you'd be a lot more mindful of personal space and considerate of his clear shyness, but your ability to read social cues is a little bit impaired at the moment.
"I'm Mica, wizardlyLuminary," you say, realizing that he probably didn't know which names to connect to everyone's faces. "Are you feeling any butter... better now?"

With RT's sudden appearance, everyone was there. The poor guy was getting pretty flustered though, and you decided it would probably be for his benefit to get a light psybuff. You decided to try free-styling it: basically [Ice Cream in the Veins] severely toned down to just be a mild tension reliever. "Hey RT! You can probably tell who WA and TG are by looking at them. I'm FC, though feel free to call me Jenny." You motioned at Ben "He's AN". You then motioned at GT "And he's GT."
"And this as per a request from TC" You said as you approached and then hugged RT.
