Realistic or Modern Lake Nights

[apolla]

Mark​

Mark continued to keep his arm around Stormie, though he was looking around the room and grinning at everyone. This time at the lake was going to be fantastic, he could already tell. All of his favorite people, and some he tolerated but still didn't particularly dislike. His eyes landed on Aries again, and he silently sighed, wondering if she was still going to hate him this trip.

The door opened again, and in walked Rufus. His mood shifted instantly, and he straightened slightly, his grin widening. Rufus and Mark, while definitely not a thing, were definitely a thing. It didn't make sense, really, but he didn't care. The guy was hot and he was damn good in bed. He chuckled as Rufus slapped his ass and claimed his as a roommate, but he disappeared up the stairs before Mark could say anything back.

Realizing he still held Stormie, he looked down at his friend and shook his head at his comment about attending a funeral for his own sanity. "Come on, Storm. You're gonna have a great time, you just gotta open yourself up a little. Give it some time." He squeezed Stormie's shoulders, then released him. His eyes traveled towards the stairs, and before he knew what he was doing, he was following Rufus' trail. He found him in one of the rooms, unpacking. "Hey, sexy." He greeted him nonchalantly, stepping into the room and tossing his bags onto the other bed.

Bella​

Bella heard someone approaching, and glanced over her shoulder, spotting Miles heading their way. She turned back to James, grinning wider at him. "I think your savior is here." She told him with a giggle, her attention being drawn to Miles when he squatted beside them. "Well hello there, buddy. It seems we have a problem here." She looked back down at James, settling back on her heels.

James moved to stand, and offered her a hand. She took it and stood, glancing down when James asked her what happened. "Oh, these? Don't worry about them, I'll survive. You must have been close to death, there, if you missed me falling. Sheesh. Though don't worry, I'm sure it'll happen again sometime this trip." She laughed and shrugged, glancing between the two boys. James started up the walk, and she glanced at the stuff, deciding it was too heavy for her to help with.

Casting Miles an apologetic glance, she started after James. "Everybody and nobody." She responded, shoving her hands into the pockets of her shorts. Once back inside, she saw Aries pouring mimosas, and perked up. "Be back." She told the wall where she thought James was as she made a beeline for the kitchen, popping up beside her friend. "One of those is for meeee, right?" She pouted, grinning and swiping one of the glasses up anyway. "Hope so, anyway."

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Alyx opened one eye, which felt heavy from the now-smudged glitter liner that was still caked on his face.

"Shut up before I stab you with a spork," he muttered, pressing a hand to his aching forehead.

Damn.

He'd overdone it again last night, but that concert had been awesome. So totally worth it, right?

Reaching towards the sound, Alyx nearly toppled off the side of his bed in his desperate attempt to silence the offending alarm clock. There were enough stuffed animals scattered across the floor that this wouldn't have hurt anything more than his ego, but the sensation of almost falling did finally snap the hungover scene kid out of his stupor.

Getting dressed in the first thing he could find, Alyx admired his neon-clad reflection for a moment before heading to the bathroom to fix his hair and eyeliner. Once he was satisfied with the results, he returned to his room for some last-minute packing.

Thankfully, he'd had the foresight to do most of it in advance.

Stumbling out the door with an armload of leopard-print baggage, Alyx hurried to his convertible Mustang and unceremoniously dumped everything in a heap. He'd deal with the whole sorting thing later.

Then, once inside the driver's seat, he immediately cracked open his favorite flavor of energy drink. Taking two pills for the lingering headache, he was glad most of the symptoms had since disappeared. For once, luck was on his side.

Alyx spent the rest of the drive singing along loudly to his ridiculously oversized playlist, and managed to only get lost three times, which was a new record for him. By the time he arrived he was running late, but the idea didn't really bother him.

Parking his car, he hopped out and ran towards the lake house excitedly, deciding last minute that he could deal with his luggage later. He completely ignored what was happening outside, barely able to contain his excitement as he threw open the door.

"Hey! This isn't Narnia, they lied!" Alyx yelled, looking around at all the unfamiliar faces and future friends that had already arrived.

Catching sight of a pale-haired girl mixing drinks, he shrugged.

"You guys have drinks though, so I guess I'll stay."

Making a beeline for the kitchen, the scene kid noticed another girl, this one with bright purple hair, going in the same direction.

For once, he wasn't the only one with colorful hair. For some reason, this made him happy.

"Nice hair," he complimented, reaching for one of the drinks with a mischievous smile.​

Alicia Shepard

Kat comes up beside Alicia, mentioning how this is going to be the best vaycay ever. Alicia puts her arms around Kat and she waves her hand across the entire scene before them. Everyone talking, the crystal glimmer from the lake via the golden sun. It was all truly beautiful. Alicia sighs in tranquility. "Just look. This is already five times as peaceful as college. I'm glad we're here. I wish I could take a picture of this in my brain and keep it forever, a phone won't do it justice." Alicia then notices Ezra and Ares already plotting to start the drinking games. Alicia rolls her eyes with stealth, not wanting to partake in the activities. People knew she was a handful as is sober. Those who didn't know her clearly just witnessed her antics upon arriving, so that should give them a little taste. Alicia has only been drunk once time. ONCE. And she probably won't do it again. Not because of the feeling, but because to her she doesn't see the point. It was her Freshman Year in college. She'd literally just met Katia, and they went to a house party that night. To live a little and capture the experience just to say she did it once, Alicia drink some Lemon Vodka, everyone anticipated one of those nasty faces a rookie would make when drinking for the first time. Alicia did not, which impressed the crowd. It burned her chest, but it did not cripple her.

"That's it?" Was Alicia's response to the alcohol, showing her strong will. But that was just one drink. She started to drink a few more shots, still stoic in her reaction, but that didn't change the vodka from taking over. In all fairness, Alicia was aware enough to notice that she was lighter and more buzzed, but her first and only time being drunk was a trip. One minute Alicia is acting nonchalant about the effects of the vodka, the next a close circle of college peers were watching her give lap dances to two guys...at the same time. No one knows of this but Kat, not even Clara or Lila.

Speak of the Angel, Clara comes up and asks how Alicia is doing, in which the spiritual child fakes a blush and fans herself as if she's smitten. Clara's wink only sent her melodrama into overload as she fake faints. "Your beautiful girl? You have that backwards, Precioussss." She replies with a grin. They spoke for a bit while her boyfriend, Jax helped the other girl with her remaining bags. Alicia didn't know too much about Jax, but she got the vibes he didn't understand her. Granted, she knows hardly anything about the guy other than what Clara speaks about their relationship (which are rather brief summaries than full conversations), but as long as he made her flower happy, she was cool with it. She looked to the girl with the Mercedes, literally never seeing her before, but she was pretty. Alicia would make a note to get affiliated with everyone she didn't know. So far her, and the guy with the truck that Ares seemed to know. She wanted to talk to Noah too, but for some reason she felt like he'd been avoiding her. When she saw another guy pull up, kind of like a hitchhiker. A long black haired guy arrived and seemed to approach someone laying in the dirt? Alicia tilts her head in curiosity as Bella was also in the fray of the peculiar situation. She could hear the voices migrating inside. She too moved inside, and decided to bypass Lila's socializing to take advantage of moving their things into a room upstairs near a clear view of the lake. Leesh noticed the guy she didn't know that came in the truck. Eli or something? She smiles at him as she heaves her things and Lila's into a room, claiming their domain for the trip. She looks out the second floor window to see a pale yet very artistic yellow beetle pull up, and a keen girl in a green sweater pull up.

"Lilaaaaa! Jacy's here!!!"

Alicia didn't know her personally, which was weird seeing as how they've heard of each other and Lila is both of their close loved one. She was looking forward to meeting her. Another guy also pulled up who seemed to smack Mark on the behind, gesturing Alicia to raise a brow. She made a mental not of that for later. Everyone was smiling and greeting, and Leesh noticed the looks Ares gave Clara, as well as Mark. She also saw Ezra and Bella conjuring up some plans to make some alcoholic euphoria for the people. She watched another car pull up, a mane of solid black hair and a sweet black corvette. People and their cars. She watched him seemingly ignore everyone and mutter a mundane greeting as he set his bags along and begins to survey things. Alicia thought it'd be nice to at least make a new acquaintance today. She walks up to the guy, he was now inside and rather secluded from the crowd that were fraternizing amongst themselves. He looked really uncomfortable, so Leesh figured she'd at least try, and if it didn't pan out well she'd respect his disposition. Mark was talking to him for a bit, but the emo looking lad still seemed aloof.

"Hey, I'm Alicia. Friend of Ares I presume?"

Alicia then turned her attention to everyone prepping alcohol.

"Drinking before swimming?? Guys come onnnnnn. Can we make the guys gawk at us being drenched in water as opposed to booze first?"

Alicia felt like it was a lost cause. She made sure to deliver the suggestion in a optimistic tone and not an opposing one. The main reason she was cool and respected by everyone was the fact she could let people go their own way, while also straying from the crowd and standing out to have it rub off on others. She shrugs and blows a playful raspberry to the lot, a soft "I love you " drifting from her lips afterwards. She then heads out the back door to the vastness of the lake, where she sighed with sheer bliss. She spotted even another guy pulls up, but her brain goes to the water. This was her domain, fuck Aquaman. She was the King, Queen, god, and goddess of the sea. She removes her tank top and drops her fitted cargo shorts, and kicks off her low cut vans. Underneath her swim suit is revealed as she stretches briefly and starts to dip and melt into the splendor of the lake. Nothing but unconditional peace filled her body as she drifted in the water.

Aries laughed as Bella snatched one of the glasses like a dehydrated animal in the desert. "Good thing it is because I am not trying to fight you for it right now," she said as she took a sip of her own mimosa. It was perfect, 90% champagne and 10% orange juice, which was just the way she liked them. The thought passed in her mind that she'd probably be better off drinking water in preparation for the hangover she was undeniably going to have tomorrow, but she threw the thought and common sense out of her mind. No need to be a responsible human being today, of all days.

Some kid that Aries had never seen before walked into the house, announcing his presence loudly. He didn't need to, though, as his hair and glitter definitely spoke for him. He was sure as shit hard to miss, if nothing else. He came over to the counter, grabbing a drink and complementing Bella's hair. Well, at least he seemed like he'd be a good time, and Aries was down for anyone who wanted to party.

She had looked over just in time to see Eli walking out the back door and toward the lake. A few minutes late Alicia went too, and assuming that they wouldn't be talking to each other as she knew that Alicia was a hella good swimmer, Aries decided to go keep Eli company.

And, well, bum a joint off of him. But, you know, they were friends.

She grabbed the full champagne bottle and walked towards the door. "I'm going outside losers! Be there or be SQUARE!" she said, laughing as she flung open the door. It was hot, but it felt good for the moment. She walked down the small pathway and sat down next to Eli, plopping the bottle on the ground and taking a sip out of her glass. "This is Bellas, but i'm bringing it as an offering so I can have a toke," she said, picking the joint out of Eli's fingers. "Thaaaaank you," she said, taking a long drag from it. It was good shit, and she started to feel it almost immediately. "LOOKIN HOT ALICIA!" she yelled to her. "SHOW THAT BOOTY!" she laughed, remembering her announcement when she had arrived.

"I'm so ready to get lit tonight," she said to Eli, passing his joint back and taking a big sip of her drink. "I need this. We all need this. No one is going to ruin this for me!" she said seriously, like she was scolding someone. She then laughed at herself, starting to get the giggles from the pot. "That stuff is strong, dude," she added. "Or I'm just a light...weight? Light lung? Whatever."

Clara P. Ray

Clara smiled at Noah as she stood by his side for a wee while. Nicking one of his cigarettes she thought she might aswell have a smoke while she was there. It was a time for freedom and enjoyment and that’s all she had as a reason. Even so as she took a inhale her eyes drifted over to see Jax had arrived. But apparently she wasn’t the first hello he was going to give. Her eyes drifted over to the girl he helped with her bags and her stomach turned. Ever since Clara ha caught Sabella flirting with him, Clara’s been on her toes ever since and it showed, badly. Her foot began to tap on the floor as her head shook slightly that was until Leesh decided it was time for a swim. A grin crept up on her face as she saw the girl dipping in.

She quickly took of her shirt, jeans and shoes before running in after her leaving her bags and clothes sprawled over the gravel and dirt floor. Screaming in excitement as she dove in with a splash she came to the surface soon after. Swiping her hair back, Clara looked around. “Party time!” ​

Noah Yu

Noah took the last puff of his cigarette and threw it onto the ground for it to be crushed under his foot. Sparks flew from when the lit end of the cigarette hit the ground and put out with a satisfying hiss. He walked over closer to the lake until his feet almost touched the water. Some people had already decided to go in but Noah thought he would take this moment to enjoy the scenery. Noah usually waited for all his friends to take the dive first so he could make sure they were all having fun. Besides, he had gained weight over his time at the college and was a little embarrassed on how he looked. Noah wasn’t fat or anything but he no longer had his almighty abs which he had during his high school years.

When Clara dived into the water, Noah jumped a bit in surprise but quickly came to his senses.

“Be careful princess!” he called out while placing her clothes into a neat pile on her bags so that they would not get dirty.It was nice to see her so happy; from what Noah knew, the princess and her prince were having some relationship problems that tore at his heart to see one of his best friends so miserable.

Pulling out another cigarette to get his mind off things, Noah lit it and stared off into the distance. Next year this time around, he wouldn't be in college and be part of the workforce. He would have to make the most of this vacation and have the most fun he could manage. He saw Arietta come out of the house with a bottle in her hand. Curiosity got the better of himself and he saw what looked like a joint in their hands.

Getting somewhat excited, he took his cigarette out of his mouth and rubbed the butt between his forefinger and thumb.

“Woah there!” He called out,”Care to make a trade?!” Noah picked up the case of beer over his head trying to get both Aliretta and Eli’s attention. Noah didn’t know either of them but they seemed like a fun group to get to know and besides, Noah was the Ultimate Bro; it was in his blood to become bros with everybody.

As Jacy got her bags, she looked over to the house. Already, she could hear the noises of several people inside and outside. "Well, seems like fun!" she said to herself as she made her way in. As soon as she opened the door, the smell of different kinds of alcoholic drinks, cigarette smoke, and other smells that she couldn't quite place hit her nose. She wanted to hold her breath and go back out, but she knew she'd most likely have to get used to the smell. She was there for the summer, after all. She then started to look around at whoever was there. A smile appeared on her face as she saw Bella, along with some others who she didn't recognize, but was excited to meet anyway. She went over to the purple-haired woman and waved. "Hey! Long time no see, how've ya been?" she asked excitedly as she gave the other a hug in greeting. She then looked down to the drink that her and another girl were making. "What'cha making? Oh, also, before I forget, do you guys know where I can put my stuff?" She asked, not wanting to just drop her stuff somewhere and have it be in the way for other people.

A comfortably familiar haze was settling over Eli when Alicia came out, apparently leading the charge. It jerked him back to his usual semi-lucid state just in time for Aries arrival. If there was one thing Eli had learned at college it was a well rolled joint was one of the easiest ways to bring a crowd together. Grinning lazily, he picked up the champagne as Aries took a drag and took a long drink from the bottle. Foam spilled down his chin and he laughed, wiping it away. "I love champagne. Only thing I can drink straight from the bottle without looking like an alcoholic." He added a wolf whistle into her shouts at Alicia, taking another hit as Aries passed the joint back.

He nodded in agreement, holding his breath for a second before releasing a cloud of smoke. "It'd be impressive if someone could manage to ruin this. I mean, I wouldn't put it past some folks, but who would want to fuck up something this nice?" Aries laughter set him off and he was giggling along with her when Noah arrived. He recognized the dude from various parties and even if he didn't, that case of beer looked beautiful enough on its own. So he patted the ground next to him. "We're all about that barter system, buddy. Free love 'n all that jazz." After another hit he held the joint out towards Noah. "Careful, apparently it can be a bit strong for some people." He flashed Aries a smug grin and a wink. To be fair it was about 50% kief but it seemed like the proper occasion for something a extravagant.

Miles Jones Walker

Standing, Miles scratched his neck as he took in all of James' crap and caught Bella's apologetic smile. Did he really want to carry the stuff? No. But being the best damn friend anyone could ever have he heaved the shit up and followed Jim and Bella.

"Dude, what are you doing even bringing a laptop? And your computer?" After this vacation Miles was going to have to sit Jim down and have a long talk with him after this. He was going to have to make a list of acceptable things for the guy to bring to a party.

The house was huge compared to his small apartment. As they followed Bella into the house, Miles sat Jim's heavy shit on the floor. With his backpack still hung over one shoulder, he rolled both shoulders to work out the kinks. As Bella ran off, Miles turned to Jim. With the most stern face he could make, Miles said, "Dude, you're not playing games the entire time we're here."

Bella​

Bella grinned at Aries' comment about not wanting to fight her, then lifted the mimosa to her lips and took a big swig. They were perfect, just like Aries' drinks usually were. At least at first-- after a while of drinking, they became pretty much straight alcohol. Not that Bella minded that either. She set the cup back down on the counter, glancing over at a wild haired guy as he entered the house, announcing his presence. He made his way straight for them, and she smiled at his compliment, tilting her head slightly.

"Thanks, doll!" She exclaimed, her eyes lifting to his hair. "I love yours, too. We're gonna be good friends, I can tell." She lifted her glass to his in a cheers, then took a giant swig. "I'm Bella!" She heard Aries pick up the champagne bottle beside her, and turned just in time to hear her friend announce that she was going outside. "Ooh, outside." Bella gripped her glass tighter, even though it was almost empty. The open champagne was still in front of her, she shrugged and poured more into her glass, skipping the OJ this time. "Care to join?" She asked her wild haired friend, nodding towards out back.

Glancing over his shoulder, she saw James and Miles in the living room. Without warning, she screamed at them. "JAMES! MILES! IT'S TIME TO GO OUTSIDE!" Without waiting, she turned and pranced outside, mostly full glass of champagne in hand. Once out back, she scanned the people out there, trying to decide what to do. She wasn't wearing a bathing suit, but that could easily be modified by just jumping in with her clothes on.

So that's what she did. She chugged her champagne and set the empty cup down on a table, and then cannonballed into the water with her shorts and tank top, after kicking off her flip flops.

Alyx wasted no time slamming back his first drink, and was on his second before he even replied to the purple-haired girl he'd been approaching before the selection of alcoholic delights had stolen his attention.

Raising an eyebrow, Alyx smiled brightly. "You're welcome, and hey, I like you already."

He winked and ran a hand through his vivid hair absentmindedly, before raising his nearly-empty glass to hers with a satisfying clink.

"Alyx, part-time ninja at your service," he replied with a rather dramatic bow, making note of Bella's name so that he didn't forget it after a few more drinks.

He nodded when she asked about joining them outside, and made sure to follow her lead and replenish his glass before trailing after them like a colorful scene puppy.

Taking in the view with a sigh, Alyx had to admit they'd found the perfect place.

His single moment of sincerity was abruptly cut off by Bella leaping into the water still wearing her clothing, the splash echoing through their surroundings. Cheering loudly, the scene kid hurried closer, as though he was half considering jumping in as well.

Unfortunately, he'd left his clothes in the car with all his other stuff, and skinny jeans just weren't something you could swim in. Not one to let disappointment ruin things however, he took another long sip of his drink before sitting down near the water's edge.

"That was awesome! I'm so joining you once this is done," he called, gesturing to his drink, "just gotta get my stuff from the car."​

Aries saw Noah and Clara come out of the house, Clara who bounded straight into the water, seemlingly in her underwear. Now, she had to admit that looked like a good time, but she didn't really feel like taking a shower and she knew once she started drinking, which she already had, she wouldn't. Next day lake swamp hair was not the kind of look she was trying to pull off right now. "Nah, you still look like an alcoholic," Aries laughed, watching the champagne drip down his face. "Care to get some in your mouth, yeah?" she asked, laughing harder. This pot was definitely giving her the giggles. Maybe she did want to go in the water.

Eli said something to Aries, but she was distracted by Noah calling to Aries and Eli, offering a trade. "Sharing is caring!" Aries said as Eli passed Noah the blunt and she took a beer out of his case. She twisted the top off, chugging about half the bottle. "Yeah," she said, the bottle finally coming away from her lips. "That shit gonna fuck you upppp Noah," she said and then started once again giggling. After staring at the others in the lake for a few moments, she said. "You guys... I bet this is the lake the lochness monster lives in," she said, a weird excitement in her eyes.

"Yoooooo," she said, squinting. "I think I see it.... LOOK!" she said, pointing to a stick in the water. "Oh my god. I need a camera. I NEED A CAMERA. RIGHT. NOW," she said, feeling her pockets for her phone, which she had left inside by the mimosas. "Oh maaaan, I'm gonna miss it," she said, sinking back down onto the ground. She took another long swig of her beer. Man, she could use a shot right now. It was probably too early for that, though...right? Being drunk and high was the best, and as far as she was concerned she was only high.

Jim took a deep breath and gulped when Bella said that everyone was here. Just who the hell was everyone? Before he could even ask the girl was gone just leaving Miles and Jim. "Hey thanks for bringing my stuff!" The nerd grinned up at his friend and tried not to pout when the skater put his computer down in the middle of the room. "What do you mean I can't play games the entire time!? What else am I supposed to do here?"

Bella's voice soon rang out summoning the two bros out back to go jump in the lake. Well he would at least go outside with her. The thought of leaving his computer was nearly enough to convince him not to do it however. Think of all the people that could just walk around...Touching it. It was enough to make James shudder and be glad that he'd had enough sense to bring some lysol with him. People getting their germs all over his stuff. He gave one last longing look at his computer and headed towards the back where everyone else seemed to be gathering.

There really wasn't anyone he knew at all. He thought to just sit with Miles but the skater would no doubt try and talk to people. Jim was not at all interested in talking to strangers at the moment. He slid his backpack off a shoulder so that he could take his laptop out. The nerd found a nice place to sit on the grass close enough to the water so that he could talk to Bella as she did whatever it was social people did. He noticed the other girl in the water and bit his lip in terror before busying himself with his laptop. He pulled the screen up and set it in his lap before pulling out a mousepad and mouse to complete the ensemble.

Jim suddenly realized something and shouted out to no one in particular. "Hey what's the wifi password!? Does anyone know it!? I've got raid in like...Two hours! Pretty important!" If no one answered him he would just beg Bella or Miles to find it out for him later. He had a few single player games he could play to occupy the time so he brought one up at random and began playing. The nerd completely zoned into the game, completely forgetting there was a bunch of girls in bikinis right in front of him in the water. Some idiot was screaming about there being a monster in the water but Jim just ignored her. If you can't say anything nice, don't say it. Right?

Leesh's focus was skewed upon hearing Ares shout from outside. Alicia submits from floating atop the water with her body flat to the sky, settling back into the water and watching her friend tell her to show her booty and that she was looking pretty hot. Had it just been Ares, Alicia would've undoubtedly acted a fool and showed herself twerking, but the guy beside her seemed foreign, so Alicia instead batter her eyelashes and pretended to be smitten by Aries' comment. She was glad she wasn't near them and their smoking, she hated second-hand contact, it was just suffocating and not a good feeling, that and the stink breath that it gave some people who puffed the menthol excessively.

Upon seeing Clara jump into the lake with high energy, Alicia jumped with joy in the water, and immediately begin swimming over to her flower. She got there in no time, despite being a few dozen meters away she closed the distance almost shark like. Alicia dips under water, sticking her hand atop her head like a shark fin to show herself approaching Clara. Once she gets to her leg, Leesh growls underwater, the bubble showing on the surface and arises in front of Ray splashing water in her face. She laughs and hugs Clara while leaning on her back. "You are my party!" Alicia noticed that Noah calls out in response to Clara, as he sorts Clara's items neatly. "Noah seems to be etched to you. I swear every time I try to talk to him it's just...I don't know. I don't think he likes me, maybe tolerates me. I know you guys are close I guess I thought maybe he'd want to be close to me too. I'm doing that thing where I overthink again huh?" Alicia confides in Clara, she looks at Noah and then snaps out of her gaze to continue playing around with Clara. That was until Sabella jumped in not too far from them. Alicia didn't really know the whole deal, but she definitely noticed the tension Clara was directing around Bella. "Really Bell, clothes on? Haha" Alicia claps at Bella and then turns back towards Clara. "Someone needs to smiiiiile " Leesh starts to poke at Clara's sides before swimming backwards ever so gracefully, her eyes drifting along a bright blue sky.

She shifts her body to start swimming forwards and makes circles around everyone in the water. Swimming freely. She spots a lad with the most beautiful blue and green hair, as he was talking to Bella. She released a mental ooooooooooo as she looked at it. Once he looked her way she spoke up. "Hiii! I'm Alicia, friend of Bella's and like a bunch of other people here, your hair is really dope."

She then heard Ares come up talking about a lochness monster and that she thinks that she sees it, Alicia releases the most perverted laugh before raising her eyebrows up and down at her friends, responding in a pedo but obviously goofy and playful tone. "Hehehe, oh that's no lochness monster my dear " She then bursts into a mini chuckle, her humor turning really dry as she intentionally projects the corny joke to everyone for that sake of being-so-awkwardly-obvious-its-still-funny. "Heehee get it?? It's funny because I don't really have a Penis! And the monster was an anecdote for a large one!!! xD "

She fake hard laughs as she delivers the joke in a manner like Drax from Guardians of The Galaxy. She was having fun, and she knew the ones who've known her already knew this was just the spirit of the spiritual ass, energetic Alicia. Those who didn't know, it would only be a matter of time before the Leesh magnet got them.

With most people Jax would be more than willing to hear about what they say and press on, asking questions just to hear about how their life was going. Which was something most people wouldn't want, but he enjoyed things like that, it meant he could build a connection with someone and that was the best feeling in the world. Cheesy and he knows it but he really couldn't give a flying fuck about anyone thinking he was a sappy old dude. He liked the feelings he had. On this note, however, being where he was and carrying his former bestie's bags only made him not want to talk. The atmosphere that she had, the attitude she carried, and set him on edge. Made him wary. Uncomfortable.

Shaking his head, he glanced over his shoulders at the others arriving as he lugged her bags up towards the house. He shouldn't be complaining though, considering he had volunteered to do so. But only to be nice. Which was also technically his fault.. he could opt out of being nice but he didn't. "Yeah, Clara's doing relatively well." Jax said simply, a lie through his own teeth. Now it wasn't that his girlfriend was doing bad, no, but the princess and him weren't on the greatest terms. They talked and acted presently, but their ship was getting a little rocky. "As well as anyone can be doing these days considering the way life is. Things happen, but it's fine. Not that I need to be telling you any of this, I just, you know.." He began to trail off from his awkward rambling, a trait that didn't go with his supposedly outgoing, confident personality. Clearing his throat, Jax left her bags near a seat inside. "This is as far as I'm gonna take them, you shouldn't struggle much whenever you decide to actually get them to your room."

Peeking outside, Jax saw almost everyone swimming in the lake. Things were clearly already getting crazy but for once the prince was wary of socializing with anyone just yet. It wouldn't be hard, no, but.. things. Reasons. He didn't need to explain them. Matter of fact, he didn't know how to explain them. "Well, enjoy your stay, I guess." He smiled towards Ariana and jokingly tipped the nonexistent hat on his head. Finally, he had mustered the courage, or mock courage, to make his way outside and towards the others. "Your king has arrived, my friends!" He called out, pumping his fists up into the air as he ran back outside towards the others. Not that he'd actually greeted anyone in particular, but his eyes had settled directly on Clara.​

Alyx stretched lazily as he sipped at his drink, looking to all the newfound friends he'd met that day with a lopsided smile. He wasn't sure if it was the buzz or the summer heat, but the scene kid felt both excited and relaxed.

He laughed quietly as he watched some of the people in the water goofing off, before finishing his mostly-champagne-mimosa with flair and setting the glass aside.

The bright-haired boy had been considering what to do next, when he was approached by one of the girls in the water. He didn't recognize her, but that didn't matter.

Strangers were just friends Alyx hadn't met yet.

"Hi Alicia, friend of Bella and like a bunch of other people here," he greeted her playfully, "I'm Alyx." Grinning brightly at her compliment, the scene kid ran a hand through his colorful fringe and winked. "Thank you, it's totally natural," he teased.

She swam away again to join up with her friends, and Alyx thought he heard something about the Loch Ness Monster. Weird.

Shrugging, the scene kid stood up again, surveying the lake as he thought about an option he'd likely been too sober to consider before. He could skip having to get his swimsuit out of the car if he simply went swimming in his underwear, like one of the girls already splashing around appeared to be doing.

Mildly embarrassing sure, but Alyx was tipsy enough that it didn't outweigh his desire to join in the fun.

And so that's exactly what he did.

Stripping off his band shirt, mismatched Converse and neon pink skinny jeans and tossing them aside, Alyx jumped into the water, dressed in only his underwear and an assortment of colorful necklaces.

"Hey," he called out as he headed towards the purple-haired Bella and her friends, feeling a little more shy now that he was actually in the water. Still, swimming was fun. He'd just have to be careful not to get his hair wet, as anyone who was familiar with neon dyes knew just how quickly they washed out, and faded hair sucked.​

Bella​

Bella dove under the water, soaking herself to the core. She popped up a few feet from where she hit the water, reaching up almost immediately to move her darkened hair from her eyes. Blinking rapidly to get rid of any water droplets on her lashes, she turned to look at Alyx, who had sat down near the waters edge with his drink. She grinned at him, opening her arms to gesture to the water. "Oh, who cares? Just jump in!" She told him excitedly, doing a quick 360 in the water.

Alicia swam over to Bella, and Bella wrapped her wet arms around her friend, laughing at the girls introduction. "You will get to know this girl, and love her as much as I do, promise." She told Alyx, releasing Alicia so that she could do her own thing. She floated away, closer to the shore, towards where Aries was shrieking about needing a camera. "OMG, what?" She straightened in the water, looking around for what she was yelling about. "You see the loch ness monster?"

Bella continued to look towards where Aries was looking and pointing. She saw the stick and began shrieking herself. "OHMYGOD, WHATISTHAT?" She backed away from it, looking around to see if anyone else was gonna investigate. When she didn't see anyone else coming closer, she approached it, reaching out with her foot to tap it. When it moved she shrieked again, but when it just floated to the surface and snatched it up, looking at it and then jerking her gaze to Aries.

"You dork, it's a fucking stick!" Laughing, she threw the thing at Aries. She noticed James sitting by a tree with his computer, but before she could say anything there was a splash, and she quickly noticed Alyx swimming her way. "ALYX!" She shrieked, grabbing him and hugging him, spinning them around in the water. It was around that time too she noticed she was touching skin, and she pulled back to peer at him. "What the hell?" But she was laughing. "Ooh, skinny dipping, hmm? That sounds like fun."

Miles Jones Walker

Miles was turning to follow Bella outside when Jim asked what he was supposed to do instead of playing games. He would have replied but Bella shouted for them to come outside. He cast one last look at him, who seemed to be following her orders too, and marched outside.

Outside he found Jim sitting waterside... on his laptop. There were also a shit ton of people, mostly hot girls. And then Jim spoke. He asked about the wifi password. Quickly, Miles turned his way, "Dude! No!" If he had the money to replace his buds laptop later Miles would have slapped it out of the guys lap. At this point he just shook his head and turned towards the lake.

Miles tugged his shoes off and threw them haphazardly on the ground. He tugged his shirt over his head and it joined his shoes. Next he took off his worn out jeans, hopping around on one foot to do so. As a warning he shouted to no one in particular, "Dudes! I brought a bag of clothes! I gotta conserve where necessary!" Down went the boxers to join his other clothes. Miles was not at all modest. He didn't care what anyone thought as he walked into the water and started to swim. He just hoped no one would steal his clothes because he'd only broughten a few.

"Takes one to know one. You know, people usually put some orange juice in their mimosas." Another long drink from the champagne bottle before Eli grabbed a beer of his own with a quick wink to Noah. His quiet smoke spot was quickly becoming the place to be apparently as several things happened at once. People started stripping as Aries screamed about the Loch Ness monster which prompted some weird dick jokes and Miles' dweeb friend was yelling about wifi. Did they even get wifi out here? Why would anyone care? "Pretty sure Nessie lives in Scotland, babes. She might have a vacation spot here though." The atmosphere was building and Eli hopped to his feet, holding both bottles in one hand as he lit a cigarette. "Personally, I'm holding out for a Bigfoot sighting. House across the street is guaranteed haunted at least."

Swimming seemed like the obvious activity but smoking in anything larger than a kiddy pool always got too complicated. So instead he wandered over to the dweeb friend, crouching down behind him and peering over his shoulder. His name was John or Jim or something in that neighborhood. It didn't matter much. "Why you gotta prepare two hours in advance for a video game? Also why the fuck you usin' a mouse on a laptop? I thought the entire point was not having to carry all that extra shit." Eli's knowledge of video games began and ended with Super Smash Bros and GTA and the images on the screen blurred together into a pleasant mess as he took another drag. Remembering his manners, he stuck the champagne bottle in between Jim's face and screen of his laptop. "You wanna drink? I'm waaaay better at these things when I'm loaded."

As she hit the water Claras mind wandered. She'd always loved the water, especially when trying got capture it in art. It never looked the same in her eyes. It was deep, shallow, greens, blue, full of so much life that people often missed. But this wasn't something Clara would say out loud, after all, deepness in people isn't cool, is it? As her head came to the surface she heard Noah cry out to her but she shook her head to him and gave him a wave, reassuring him that she was fine and he shouldn't worry so much.

As the human shark began to swim towards her Clara she couldn't help but let out a giggle before pretending to be a damsel in distress. "Oh help, help!" She cried out before her and her friend where both above the water. When Leesh mentioned Noah her eyes peered over to see he was chatting with the other she smiled before shrugging. "We are pretty close, then again he might just be shy around such a pretty girl, like you."
Being told to smile as her face dropped the emotion always worked with Clara when her friends told her too. A bright smile shone from her lips before the shouting came from the shore. Her Prince had announced himself. His eyes straight on her and that's how she liked it. Knowing a few of the girls here had there eyes on him always put Clara on edge, the worry perhaps he was bored and interested in something new was the one thing that constantly played on her mind. As he stood shouting Clara, swam her way to the shore before wrapping her plaid shirt over her shoulders. The muddy and grit floor didn't bother her in the least as she walked over to Jax. A soft and genuine smile crept up on her lips before she looked at him closely. "Glad to see you finally made it good looking."​

It seemed that the terrifying lake monster had been dealt with. The ground was doing a poor job of supporting his mouse pad because of the dips and uneven surface. Jim was hardly paying attention to anyone in the real world, the keys of the built in mechanic keyboard clicking loudly. The nerd was aware enough to hear Miles scream at him but he just ignored his friend. It wasn't uncommon for Jim to not hear anyone while he was gaming so it wasn't even the worst excuse to just blatantly ignore his good friend. Jim looked up for just a moment to see Miles strip and jump in the water, causing the nerd to crinkle his nose in disgust.

Soon after a voice came over his shoulder. He didn't recognize the voice but he was always happy to talk about hardware. "Do you really think I would be able to be accurate with my mouse on a trackpad? Those things are awful." He scoffed and rolled his eyes. Gaming on a trackpad was a sin. Only the most casual people try to do that. "That -is- the point of a laptop though. I don't have to carry around my giant computer. That's inside." Jim added the last part as if it wasn't weird that he'd brought an entire computer with him on vacations.

When the bottle was put in his face Jim merely leaned to the side to get it out of his vision, continuing to play his game. "No thanks, I don't really drink. Knock yourself out though." At that moment he died on screen and sighed, taking the break to actually look at who he was talking to. It confirmed the suspicion that he had absolutely no idea who the guy was. But hey, this was vacation, right? And if the guy played games that was all the more reason to get to know him. Jim lifted up the laptop and offered it to the stranger. He could wipe it down with lysol later. "Wanna try? It's Dark Souls."

"Thanks for carrying my bags..." Ariana said as Jax ran off to the lake. 'I wonder why he was uncomfortable.' She thought to herself. They used to be best friends but she still considers him a friend. Does he not consider her to be a friend, he can still talk to. Having nothing better she put her bag in her room and went to the lake too. She walks right behind Jax as he announced his self. She saw Clara and rolled her eyes at her directly, not really caring if she saw. She walked a few feet away from Jax and Clara, pretending to be on her phone. Being the nosy person she is, she listened in on what Clara said to Jax. "Glad to see you finally made it good looking." She overheard Clara say. 'Good looking, what kind of saying is that this isn't the 50s' She thought.​

 

[a z u l a]

Kat wasn't one to shy away from alcohol, eagerly following Bella into the kitchen and preparing a mimosa for herself. It had been a long car ride her and an even longer school year. Pre-Law was kicking her ass and even once she got her bachelor's she still had many more years of law school to go. The party girl had toned down her social life just to survive the semester and now she was ready to make up for the months she'd been sober.

It seemed the party had moved outside, not that the raven-haired girl minded. Kat preferred being out in the fresh air as opposed to cramped in this humid house. While she wasn't nearly as much of a hippie as Alicia, she did love the outdoors. There was much more room for activity and exploring, having four brothers had meant her childhood had consisted of lots of mud and dirt.

"Well you sure didn't waste any time." She called to her friends as she approached the water where they were splashing like children. Favoring comfort over ease, she hadn't worn her bikini under her clothing because she'd wanted to be comfortable while driving. Her bags were all upstairs and she was much too lazy to trek all the way back up there. Perhaps she'd go for a swim tomorrow.

After finishing off his second mimosa, the sports marketing major made his way out front where it seemed all his friends had disappeared to. The earthy scent of weed caught his attention, bringing a large smile to his face. He was debating avoiding the crowd because he didn't want Eli ruining his perfect mood, but the stoner walked away to go chat with some kid he'd never seen before.

"Wanna pass me that?" Ezra asked, settling down beside Aries and taking the blunt from her eagerly. His headache was starting to dull down, and after inhaling the herb he felt like he might be able to make it through the night. Passing the blunt back after another hit, he noticed most people had decided to go for a swim, most sans-clothing. That seemed interesting.

"You're not going swimming? How lame." He said to Aries, ruffling her icy blonde hair as he stood to head towards the water. It seemed his sister had opted out of the water activities, and that just wouldn't do.

"Incoming!" Ezra's voice screaming in her ear made Kat turn around, but by the time she realized what he was doing she was already being thrown over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Put me down!" She seethed, kicking and flailing against him in attempt to free herself.

"You want me to set you down? Okay." His twin hadn't specified where she was to be set down, and Ezra easily threw her forward into the lake, earning a slew of curse words and a promise to make his life a living hell for the next month. Ignoring the angry brunette, he stripped off his clothes and dove in himself, splashing his sister just to agitate her more.

"You're impossible." Katia grumbled, swimming as far away from her irritating brother as possible. Tossing off her now soaked shirt and shorts, the athlete took to swimming towards Alicia and Bella.

"Well hey there" She greeted her friends, taking notice of the colorfully-haired stranger they were with.
