darling, it's better down where it's wetter, take it from me

Your invitation under the door comes handwritten in varying calligraphic, but complimenting scripts:

Our remembrance takes place at the pool this evening.

Accensa domo proximi, tua quoque periclitatur.

Don’t antagonize the eels.



The ambient light around the aqua centerpiece of the water is golden, thanks to what appears to be small will-o-wisps hovering strategically placed on the outskirts. Don’t try to touch them - they burn. Inside the water, there are indeed a pair of dark blue eels swimming around... but they're at the deepest reaches, at least?

Reigning over it all is a makeshift banner, comprised of several notebook pages taped together. In a careful calligraphy script:


ACTA EST FABULA, PLAUDITE!


There are three tables.

The first is food. There is first and foremost a decadent spread of fresh and dried fruit, as well as raw vegetables by some dip. Some delectable varieties of bread have been provided by Belle and are accompanied by some jam and cheese. For those that don’t want to put anything together, there are also triangles of monte cristo sandwiches from Oswald's suggestions. There is a simple, folded piece of paper acting as placard. The same elegant inking is there, if much more subtle: Consummatum est.

The second is drinks, the division between alcoholic and non-alcoholic made by another folded paper placard: Bibere venenum in auro. The alcoholic section is a variety of cocktails, but particularly a copious amount of wine pilfered from the Tip Top bar. The non-alcoholic side is predictably soda, water, and juice. There are also a few pots of brewed tea from Belle - get them while they're hot!

The final table sports every swimsuit that coat check and the pool room had to offer, along with sunglasses ( for what? Why, style of course ). The placard reads: Fortunae naufragium.

It may be a bit more lavish than Ratigan’s party, but there is one key difference - it’s all self-serve.

[Joshua does absolutely nothing to reciprocate or stop her. He just continues smiling in his usual manner as he plays with his phone in one of his hands here.]

Oh? And where might that be, if you don't mind my asking?

Salem, of co- [and whoops here's ursula]

[Joshua simply shrugs like this is not at all alarming as he speaks.]

I hear Salem's a lovely place, though I've never had the chance to go there myself. [He then holds up his phone.] Would it be alright if I got a picture with you, Miss Sanderson?

[He's... already sliding to the camera tab and setting up the shot for a selfie here, despite the tentacle Ursula has put up as a barrier trying to keep Sarah from him here.]

...A picture?

[what is that what is a picture]
lusito: (let me know)

[personal profile] lusito 2017-10-29 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Something to look at as a reminder of this wonderful first meeting. Have you never had your picture taken before?
hellosalem: (sarah - 004)

[personal profile] hellosalem 2017-10-29 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
I have never heard of such a concept! You boys are so interesting~
lusito: (set me free)

[personal profile] lusito 2017-10-29 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Not as interesting as you are, I'm afraid.

[So how about it? If Sarah is cool with it, Josh is absolutely going to take a selfie of them here.]

[okay shes p happy about it at first but then there's a camera flash and]

IT IS BLINDING!
lusito: (someone is calling)

[personal profile] lusito 2017-10-29 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... my apologies dear, I must have forgotten about the flash.

[Which, can be turned off as he snaps another quick selfie before moving the phone so that Sarah can see the result... if she's not still blind from the first photo being taken.]

I am beautiful!

[despite the tentacle that seems to be obscuring much of her body]

This device, it captures one's image?
lusito: (crystals)

[personal profile] lusito 2017-10-29 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey at least it got her face!]

Indeed! And then you're able to look at it whenever you'd like, and keep it as a reminder of someone even when they're not right there with you.
hellosalem: (sarah - 004)

[personal profile] hellosalem 2017-10-29 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps I shall capture your image into a...picture. So that I may keep you.

lusito: (cold break)

[personal profile] lusito 2017-10-29 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
By all means! I would be flattered if you took a picture of me to hold onto.
