((Pie-eating contest))
Jupiter gingerly picked off all off the pecans that had decided to stick themselves to his face. Ewww, he wanted napkins, and a drink would be nice too. His stomach already felt full but he persevered, eating each and every pecan and gobbling up the last of the crust. Urg, another pie ahead. This would be the halfway point so Jupiter decided to eat his second favorite flavor of pie that was up there, apple. Taking the pie and setting it before him, Jupiter paused, either gathering his strength or delaying the inevitable. Then, picking up a slice he took a large bite, starting on the next obstacle in his way to victory.

Beach Bar: Pie Contest!
Melisande finished her last bit of pecan pie, leaning to the side to brush a few crumbs from the corners of her mouth. She was beginning to feel a little funny, but it was hard to place exactly how. Considering she'd never eaten this much at once before, it wasn't hard to figure out why!
Pausing to take a drink, Melisande held the little glass of water with both hands and looked down the row. Some people were really scarfing! Even Laz was working hard! Melisande lifted one hand to him in a tiny wave, wondering if it was okay to cheer other people on too.
After a bit of a rest, she pulled her next pie forward. It was some kind of chocolate, with a cookie crust! She wasn't hungry anymore, but it looked delicious. Using her usual technique, Pasha dipped one finger into the pie and put it into her mouth, savoring the taste. Even if she had slowed down a bit, it was still fun!

Jupiter gave himself a break, telling his aching stomach that it would all be over soon. He watched as the blond female raevan started on another pie. How was she eating so much so quickly?? Without even getting messy! Suddenly self conscious, Jupiter took some of the water that they had been given to drink and used it to wash his face of the pecan filling. There was quite a crowd gathering and Jupiter didn't want to look like a slob in front of them, although it hadn't been his fault that the pecan pie had been cooked improperly. Still, once his face and hands were clean again he proceeded with the apple pie. He realized it was probably bad to use all his water to clean himself and not to drink, but Jupiter couldn't have stood it anymore.

Dorian began to go into another coughing fit. "Thats it, I'm out." He glared down at the offensive pies. "If I ever eat pie again it will be all to soon." He growled. Stumbling off the stage, he made his way back to the bar. He tried to wave down the barkeep. "Got any..oh...any medicine back there sir. I don't think I'll be surviving the shame if I end up worshiping the porcelain god anytime soon." He grabbed his stomach wincing. "On second though, I just might want a drink heavy enough to give me a hangover, so I'll forget this ever happened."

Craning her neck to see where Kyou was pointing, her eyes brightened with recognition as they lit upon the Incubus Sigel. "Ah! I remember him from last year! He was serving drinks with Rivener." Alex could remember details down to the finest grain, but ask her for numbers or important dates and she was utterly useless. She laughed a little as Isi started yelling; someone was going to need a hug and a glass of water when it was all said and done. "Poor Isi. Poor Eiry. Hmm? Tsu?" Wasn't that the one Natsuki...? Oh yes. Remembering the pirate and talk of booty from Halloween, it was all she could do not to laugh out loud at the memory. It was best to not come across as crazy.
Turning back to the doctor, she smiled warmly. "I'm a zoologist. I've been living in a house on the Barton Cliffs for about two years now, while I conduct my studies." Alex always felt a sense of pride with her work, finding it comfortable to talk about, which put her slightly more at ease. Her expression softened from pride to pleasure at his acceptance of her proposal, looking as content as a cat with cream. "You think so? That'd be great! I wouldn't mind driving out, especially for that. It's a date, then!" She nodded to herself, adding with a grin, "It'll be nice to get out with good company."

Bridget noticed the definet drop in eating, her slowing down. It made her angry because that was how it always was. She would start out strong and then peter out at the end. It was time to give it one last all. Go big or go home... Or... second thought... She gave a glance around the table, there were so many people better than her at eating. Ah well.
Bee's stomach gave a wrenching growl. Oh... that didn't sound good. Maybe she should just take her time with the oreo pudding one. Just savor. That would be wise. She took her time eating the last round.

[[Pie Eating Contest]]
Rivener had finally managed to get ahold of himself when the girl began throwing him looks that HE himself used to throw at people. A graceful hand was running through the dark ponytails as though drawing Riv's eyes to it, and the Scorpion couldn't help but do just that, admiring the dark locks. As dark as his own, really.
Riv somehow retained enough awareness and composure to avoid another stuttering debacle, instead smiling at the girl in a sultry fashion (a reflex he was normally not prone to with females). "Lucia? That's your name? ...Very pretty," he added as an afterthought, although by the way he looked the cat-frei over, he might be insinuating something else. "Can I take your picture?"
He was NOT flirting, Riv told himself. He was just... talking. Nicely. To a girl. And asking for her picture. ....he'd better change the topic quick.
"Who's your guardian, is it someone around here? Maybe I know him or her..." Rivener raised an eyebrow, still smiling, tilting his head forward.
...NOT flirting.
Aphismet was cheering Isi on and noticed Eiry coming closer, cheering as well (albeit a little eerily). How nice that the WilloWisp came to encourage his guardian, Aphi thought, suddenly wondering where Rivener was. The chef had been about to glance over his shoulder when Eiry suddenly lunged.
Aphi's eyes shot open wide and he swore under his breath, reaching out to pull the Raevan away if he could. "Eiry!" Aphismet berated in addition to Isi's threats. "What's wrong with you? Doing that to your own guardian in front of everyone? You can be so cruel. Go find Riv," Aphi ordered in an attempt to get the Minty Frei out of everyone's hair for the moment, but doubting that it would be as easy as all that.

Yuurei breathed a sigh before going for the next set of pies. Cherry. She loved pies, but cherry wasn't her favorite and she was definately getting full. Maybe entering the pie eating contest was a bad idea, despite her love of pie. She took a big drink of water and began to eat her third set of pies.
Lucia's eyes softened when she caught the male raevan looking at her dark hair that she was so proud of. She loved the attention and Rivener was not lacking in that respect. Perhaps even if he couldn't speak, the looks he gave her would be enough to make her want to be near him.
When he spoke to her again, she realized that his conversational skills from before were just a fluke and he could speak well, and compliment! "Thank you." Her name was very important to her, if nothing else, for the stories she heard about Grandma Lucia. . . She smiled her closed-mouth coy smile. Her eyes sparkled.
Lucia glanced over at her chocolate, pumpkin, and cherry covered guardian and grimaced. That was too embarrassing -- and besides, they were new to the whole community anyways. "You wouldn't know her. We're kind of new to this whole thing. . . . But I'm glad we came today." Her eyes sparkled. "Otherwise I wouldn't have seen you . . . and I'd love to get my picture taken." She smiled slightly as she floated back a little and struck a pose that she had seen in one of the books in Yuurei's library -- she thought that the cover said A. Vargas . . . whoever that was. Though she didn't have legs, she could create the feel of the picture by turning slightly to the right and leaning her "upper body" to the left creating a bend in her ribbon like a bend at the waist. Her left hand came up to brush the left side of her face, resting her pointer finger on her jaw and her pinky on her collarbone. With her head tilted slightly down, the pose was very sexy, though Lucia just thought the woman looked pretty. ((I have reference if you'd like it.)) Prettiest of all was the way that Lucia's hair seemed to flutter in a non-existent breeze as her eyes shone in the shade of the bar.

Rivener was getting the hang of this, talking to a girl without hating her. It had only ever been Vyn before, but she wasn't really classified as a "girl" in Riv's books. She more like "sister", and that was a whole class all its own. This Lucia though, she was most definately a girl. That coy smile, that spark in the eye, that innate grace...
Lucia's words answered Rivener's inward question; she was a very young Raevan, probably quite new. By the sound of it, she hadn't met anyone else before today. Her agreement to be photographed caused Rivener to grin happily. See, it wasn't flirting at all, she was just being friendl-
The pose she struck then erased that entire train of thought from Riv's mind. She WAS flirting. She was flirting with Riv, and the Dark frei didn't mind. Actually, it was rather flattering. Riv would never ever admit that it was catching his interest any more than that.
Lifting his camera, Riv framed her in the lcd screen, smirking up at her occasionally with half-lidded eyes. A click of a button, and Riv had a perfect picture of Lucia. "All done," he said. "And for the record, I'm glad you came, too. It's very nice to meet you." A sultry grin, and for a split second Riv wondered if it would be just as nice to kiss a girl as it was to kiss Roux. Maybe even nicer?... N-not that he'd try, though. Of course not.

Lucia smiled at Rivener's words, but chose to concentrate on the picture instead. "Do I look good?" she innocently asked Rivener, asking if she looked good in the picture.
Flirting or not, Lucia's sensuality and sexuality was innate and she really just wanted to look pretty and have this raevan like her. She twirled a piece of hair around her finger as she waited for an answer.

Rivener blinked twice without replying, going over his situation in his mind. Ok, now this was- maybe- flirting. He couldn't say "Oh of course you do", that would be too blatantly flirty. He couldn't say "NO" as a defense because that would probably anger Lucia. That was something Rivener didn't want happening. He wanted her to like him. Riv wondered why, really. It normally shouldn't matter.
"Have a look for yourself," Riv offered instead, a good compromise. He put the camera on review mode and selected the picture he'd just taken, bringing it up on the screen and floating over to the girl's side to show her.
Rivener could have just handed over the digital camera, but this way he got to stand very close. He smirked, deciding to ignore the fact that this would most likely be considered blatantly flirty as well.

Her brow rose when he’d snatched the hat back only to toy with it some, no doubt trying to impress her. Yet how impressed could one be with such a simple action as twirling a hat on their finger? It was like when the dumb jock spins the basketball on his finger to impress the ditzy cheerleader. Was this the part she was suppose to giggle madly before stuttering out her name? Yeah, like that was going to happen. Other than taking up his stoic attitude, Ebony had also learned the finer arts of flirt and charm from watching her father, a master of manipulation. He’d always said make them come to you.
Flipping her hair back casually, “But of course I do, David. Doesn’t everyone? Course if you care to know mine…” With a sly smile, Ebony held her hand out in an expecting manner, “It’ll cost you.”

She was hoping Rivener would say she was pretty. She always loved being told she was pretty. Rivener was pretty, but he hadn't prompted her to compliment him. She was disapointed when he didn't say anything like that, but figured maybe she could get another compliment from him another way.
Lucia looked at the screen and tilted her head to the side, trying to decide if she liked the picture, and accidentally leaning her head on Rivener's bicep. She started to pull away and decided that her head was comfortable there. She tensed, hoping that he wouldn't pull away and remove her makeshift pillow.
Running her fingers through her fine hair she smiled and looked up at the dark frei. She decided that she liked him. He was dark, like her. "I like it! You're really good at taking pictures." She loved looking at herself and Rivener had captured her very well. Her eyes flashed, like a cat's in the dark.

Rivener was startled to feel the soft black hair on his arm as she leaned to look at the screen. He blushed lightly, frowning and drawing his lips into a line to try and shake it off. Hey, this had been what he wanted, right? He just happened to get a little more than he'd planned for. It still wasn't BAD, just-... unexpected.
But her hair WAS soft. Nice and lustrous, shiny black waves in the sunlight. Lucia stared at the picture of herself for a while, really examining it, taking it seriously... When she declared that she liked it, Rivener was rather certain that she meant it. She'd studied it enough to say for sure, without making a flippant guess. He grinned slyly as she looked up at him, admiring those flashing eyes.
"It's easy to take nice pictures when the subject is so gorgeous." Well, there was no longer any doubt; Rivener was flirting. And that realization disturbed the Scorpion greatly. He suddenly felt the urge to flee. "I'm sorry to say, though, I have to go; my guardian is looking for me. Maybe I'll see you later?"
And outright lie of course, but Rivener could see Aphismet at the forefront of the crowd of contest-spectators. It was a convenient excuse to get away from the girl, at least long enough for him to figure out what the hell just happened with his head. He pulled himself away from the cat Raevan a little, reluctant to lose the feeling of soft hair against his arm, but really needing to escape.

Lucia blushed slightly at the compliment and inside she was glowing. She really liked that word. Gorgeous. She smiled widely, her shiny teeth were a rare sight for she rarely was elated enough to show her teeth in happiness.
"Thank you. You're pretty too." Pretty didn't seem like the right word for Rivener, but it was the closest one she could get from her vocabulary.
When Rivener said he had to go, however, her face fell slightly. "Oh . . . okay." She plastered on a happy look, but she wanted to know more about this raevan who felt so similar to her. So unlike her experience with Roux or Pasha.
Her eyes told her real emotion, but she did her best to masque it. "I'd love to talk to you sometime soon," she said sincerely. Her voice was soft, barely above a whisper as she said, "Bye, Rivener."
She debated whether or not to float over to her embarrassing pie-covered guardian and decided that she liked the comfort of something familiar. She stayed behind and to the right of her guardian, smiling at Pasha, trying to catch her eye and give her silent support.
