Beach Party

The evening started off earlier than usual last night. I was working on that new teleport system for the sim when Emi contacted me letting me know that DJ Clancy would not be able to attend his event, nor would Alobar be able to fill in for him. She also told me that she would likely not be able to attend. While the Wednesday night events are a relatively new addition to the club lineup, I figured I may as well throw a party. Nothing complicated nor expensive, just a beach party. I thanked Emi and told her not to worry about a thing.

Shortly after that, Lark logged on and I TP'd her over to check out my new teleport system. She tested a few destinations and was happy with it. Lark's opinion means a great deal to me because she used to construct themed sets for Rising Sun Blue's club and has a great deal of building experience. Once we finished playing with the teleporter, she asked about any new Nada's fashions. So I lead her to my affiliate shop and showed her my latest vendors. She found at least one outfit she liked and purchased it. Thank you Lark! I have yet to fill the newest section of my Nada's shop with all of the nearly 400 designs available. That's just one of the things on my "to-do" list.

Lark had to logoff but the timing was perfect because I needed to get the beach area setup for the party. Cat logged on just minutes later to say hello and to let me know that she would be on later either during or just after the party. We did some quick catching up then said our goodbyes. Her hellos and goodbyes are simply the best. I was still wearing my tuxedo from the wedding the night before and she was wearing something suitably revealing as per my wishes and her tastes.

Spin The Bottle

After cat's goodbye, I got to work on setting up for the party. I was a few minutes late but nobody shows up on time for these things anyway. I decided there would be no contest but I certainly did want to have trivia running. It's such a good ice-breaker. So I placed and activated the trivia device, wrote up a quick group notice and sent it out to Cherry Street, Hells Angels and Zuri's group. Almost immediately, Clara showed up along with Emi (whom I did not expect but was very pleased she made it). We started dancing and I started my music stream. I never did get my mic setup because things started happening fast after that. Emi started playing with the Spin the Bottle game. This game can get pretty intense. It's not like the spin the bottle you may have played in your teen years, this one is most certainly adult oriented. This game has been known to frighten some players away once they figure out what is involved and I was certain that was the case with Clara when she poofed as it became her turn to spin. After all, she does not know us. As it turns out, she was simply having trouble with her internet connection and returned immediately. So the three of us continued to play and to my relief, Clara was obviously enjoying herself.

Every so often, someone would TP in and observe for a while then leave. This version of Spin the Bottle is not for everyone so I was not surprised when they'd leave, but a gentleman named  Angus showed up and stayed. He was wearing traditional Celtic attire, which I admired, but he quickly removed it. He was eager to join in and having another male to help me out with the two females makes a huge difference. Poor Clara would crash out every so often though and her frustration was evident, but she was able to keep logging back on quickly and pick up right where she left off. Finally a woman named Kat popped in and was also eager to join in. So now there were five of us and with this game, the more the merrier. The trivia was going and both Angus and Clara were doing quite well with it. The Spin the Bottle game was getting hotter too. Then Emi IM'd me letting me know that a friend of hers just logged on and she needed to leave for a visit. So we bid her farewell and continued on with the bottle game. It went quite well despite having only the four of us playing and the surprised reactions to some of the poses from my new guests were quite amusing. Lots of jokes and laughter. That's what it's all about!

I let the event run a little longer than scheduled only because I knew that when I left, the party would break up, but it was pretty late for my time zone and before I did leave, I encouraged my new friends to explore the sim and enjoy some of the other 'toys' there. We said our goodnights and I left for home.

Hellos and Goodbyes

Just as I was getting my apps shut down to retire for the evening and beginning to write a note to leave for cat, she logged on. She did not have much time but I was so happy to see her. We quickly got together and paid a visit to the dungeon. A perfect ending to a perfect evening.
