Provided we don't have some sort of space-ship- slash-world-ending-catastrophe, we're having a pool party after the next jump. Two days after. That's right, you heard me, a pool party. There will be snacks, music, and of course, swimming. [ she gives her usual chipper-i'm-in-a-party-planning-monster-mode smile. its charming, i promise.] We all need a little fun, I think.

If anyone wants to volunteer to help setup or has ideas or anything... I'm open to hear about them. [ mostly.]


[Private to Elena and Bonnie]
[ NEWS TEAM ASSEMBLE ] So... I know I didn't discuss but I figured you'd want to help me? It'll be something to do. [ something that doesn't involve the deeper drama going on the ship and their lives.]

Just tell me it ain't a nude party.

[coy]

I'm going to go ahead and say that it is not clothing optional. We have kids on this ship.

[nightblogs]

Thank God. I get enough of people's junk when I wake up from the jump, y'know? Not something I wanna get a repeat of during a freakin' party.

[coy]

Yeah, we all need a break from any forced nudity.

[jondrette]

For those of us that do not know how to swim?

[coy]

Don't worry. You can stick your feet in. And there are shallow parts of the pool. Its not just a swimming party though! There will be games and stuff out of the pool. [ she's working on it.]

[jondrette]

Good. I have never learned to swim, nor, do I believe, have many of my friends. Certainly not my brother.

And you said there would be food, as well!

[coy]

Yeah, there will be other stuff to do, definitely. Do you not live by any water or something?

[jondrette]

No- I lived very near the banks of the Seine. Swimming was never taught to me. It was not something ladies did. Not where I am from. [Perhaps upper-class women did.]

[lafautedevoltaire]

[Party? He likes the sound of that. But it's also a very foreign concept]

What do people do, at a... pool party?

[coy]

[ ah an old timey person] You're from Paris?

[coy]

Swim, hang out. [ she would say drink but... KID.]

[jondrette]

I was born in Montfermiel, but yes. Paris. [Paris isn't great, Caroline, okay? Avoid it.]

[coy]

I've always wanted to go to Paris. [ future!paris is the balls, eponine!]

[jondrette]

Do not. It is terrible and dirty.

[Suuuuuuure]

[coy]

[ what?] When are you from?

[jondrette]

[When. That's new.]

1832.

[lafautedevoltaire]

Do most people on board know how to swim?

[They really do come from different worlds, if that's as common as all that]

[ Drama, you say? She's done with drama. Done. She wallowed, she felt guilty, everybody made up. It's time for bigger and better. (Possibly scarier and more dangerous, but first: pool party! ]

Count me in.

Couldn't keep me away with a stick. Or, however that saying goes. Does the stick shake? [ In any case... She shakes her head. ] A party. Are we thinking theme?

[skjalf]

But my gown would be ruined if I were to swim in it.

[ in her time period, you swim naked or in your underwear. neither of which are going to happen. ]

[dopples]

I'm in too. I think we could all use the distraction.

[ considering the hell the past two jumps have been, elena could definitely use a party of some kind to take her mind off it all. ]

What do you need us doing?

[unforgives]

A pool party? Sounds like we could definitely use something like that.

[lacksgrace]

If you mean real fun, you're gonna have to try a lot harder than that.
