Who: OPEN to adults
What: A networking party on the beach
When: Saturday, 9/20
Where: The beach, around sunset
Summary: An open networking party on the beach. Enjoy the food and drinks, mingle as you wish. Details here
Rating: Let's keep it under PG-13

The setup for the party is pretty simple. Several coolers filled with ice for drinks (soda, bottled water, juice, assorted alcohol and mixers) with cups nearby, a food table with some cookies and cake from the bakery, two sandwich platters, some salads, fresh fruit, and a veggie platter. There's a grill going for roast vegetables, hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks, and fresh seafood, often run by Ginia but anyone else who wants to watch the grill or grill their own food is welcome to do so. People are also more than welcome to bring their own food and drinks. There's driftwood set up in a small firepit for once the sun goes down.

There are a few folding chairs and blankets spread out for anyone who wants to sit down as well as a card table or two.

Relax, meet new people, enjoy the food, and watch out for ghosts or shifts that might ruin your food.

((ooc: Handwaving the IC announcement of the party. Characters can still drop by even without checking in on the post (though that would be great for stats purposes). Feel free to say your character was there for set up and later take down, it's mostly handwaved unless people want to play things out.))

[Ginia returns the wave and offers a bow of her head.]

Nice to meet you. And you as well, I'm Ginia.

[Lance pushes himself to his feet and offers his hand to her.]

I'm Lance, it's nice to meet you too.

[Dragonite squeals happily in agreement.]

[Ginia takes his hand and gives it a firm shake.]

This may sound silly, but can I get the spelling for your Pokemon? I want to make sure right and I hate misspelling names.

Sure, that's not a problem.

[He hasn't been asked that before, but he can see why she would want to know.]

It's dragon with an i-t-e on the end. Dragonite.

Thank you.

She turns toward Dragonite and types out a message for him.]

And it's very nice to meet you as well, Dragonite. This is my dog, Laika.

[Hearing her name, Laika barks twice, tail swishing back and forth before padding over and flopping on the ground next to the pokemon.]

Red's mentioned you. Says you're a Champion.

[Dragonite bobs his head cheerfully. He's glad to be meeting Ginia as well... and Laika! The pokemon bends down to sniff at and get a better look at the pooch as she flops down next to him.

The mention of Red though draws a slightly surprised look from Lance, but then he quickly smiles.]

That's right. I'm the Champion of the Indigo League back home. It's part of my job to take challenges from Pokemon Trainers.

That must be a difficult position to maintain. If someone beats you, do they become the new champion?
