[no, this is not a joke and yes, it's an actual invite to a party over the network from the username: cock.licking.idiot (and no, that's not a joke, either).

those who decide that they'd rather not be square will arrive at some unspecified patch of lake shore (thanks, klaus) at a similarly unspecified time (good work, asshat) to discover that something resembling a slapdash but heartfelt lake party along the northern waterfront. a couple of tables have been dragged out of nearby cabins and now hold a probably inadvisable quantity of foods, at least half of which don't belong at a party by any means. is this what rationing looks like? this is definitely what rationing looks like. there's also an alcohol table, filled pretty sparsely early on in the party but gathering bottles and cans throughout the day. (word of mod says feel free to wing it on what kind of alcohol we have!).

a number of chairs sit in a wobbly line in the stone-filled waterfront sand, most of them not meant for beachgoing but nearly all of them able to recline. about fifty feet down the beach seems to be the splash zone, where all water horseplay exists well out of range of splashing those sitting in beachside chairs. some people dive or cannonball off the mostly-sturdy pier, while others seem to be batting around a-... is that a beach ball they have? no, it seems to be a balloon that says "get well soon". how fitting. please, someone bring them a fucking beach ball.

(this is a mingle! go ahead and make top-levels or tag into other people's.)]

❰ similarly, pay no attention to the smile that immediately spreads across yanli's face, amusement more apparent now that she's lost some minor control of her facial muscles. she's more often the restrained one of their trio, the person in the middle to hide behind or mediate some fight, playful or serious. it's beginning to roll around in her head that maybe it wouldn't be so bad to be out from between the two of them, causing her own mischief. ❱

Are you feeling the effects already, A-Xian? ❰ yanli giggles, but walks in the direction he's steered her before they reach their destination. she's still capable of sitting down like a lady, but her elbows find themselves propping her head up as they perch upon the arm of her seat. ❱ I didn't think the drink was that strong.

❰ as you can tell from your clearly-not-tipsy sister's attitude. ❱

( quite honestly, wei wuxian would revel in any mischief that jiang yanli might cause. his little heart would swell with utmost pride that day, even if said mischief turns out to be at his expense.

as for the questions, he puts on a dramatic pout-scowl and shakes his head a little. ) No, not me! ( but they've arrived at the chairs, and he takes one too, sitting sideways on it so as to keep facing her. ) Certainly not, I've just been standing around quite a bit today! Oh - pushed a Lan boy into the lake, did I tell you yet? ( it's one of the great accomplishments she needs regaled with, if not. )

❰ it's likely true -- no, she knows it is. the great wei wuxian is sure to have a tolerance for alcohol like no other, and simply cannot be bested by one drink. she'd placed hers on the ground before sitting down, and she reaches down to try and retrieve it through the arm of the chair.

it would be a nice and fun story to hear, by the way. ❱

Oh? Some disappointment in the particular Lan disciple that appeared here with us?

[mannerless]

( though the concept of lan sizhui being disappointing makes him laugh (the boy has probably never disappointed a single person in his life, perhaps not even lan zhan), he puts on a Very Serious Face to say, ) He made the grave mistake of telling me I'm ~not very fearsome~. ( and he quickly learned that it was not, in fact, the case. )

[soups]

❰ the serious look on her brother's face, combined with the insult in question causes yanli to laugh, more loudly than usual. ❱

You can certainly be menacing when you want to be. But he must have seen your softer side showing through somehow.

❰ her face suddenly falls, expressions exaggerated by the alcohol she's consumed. ❱ Oh no...A-Xian, you didn't scare the poor boy, did you?

[mannerless]

( and now his shijie seems to have taken up in defense of the lan boy, which earns another little scowl too mild to take seriously. ) Oh, he's fine. A bit soggy, but no more scared of me than he ever was.
