SOME BRATS CRASH SPRING BREAK

Spring break!!!

But what good is spring break without a little wild partying? Over on the east coast, Mackenzie Prince has a plan. After getting her parents to allow her to have a sleepover with a handful of her friends, she promised they were just going out on the town, maybe they'd go see a film, etc. So everyone arrived around 5:00 PM, dropped off their things if they needed to, surreptitiously hid their beach-party gear, and slipped off.

The quiet dignity of the Prince home is replaced by the lights and sounds of a college beach party, and the bustling spring break crowds of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. There's a ferris wheel, shops, games, restaurants and bars, and the place is teeming with young people out to party. Surely these very clever high school students will fit right in!

HOW THIS WORKS

Mackenzie specifically invited: Iliya, Riley, Ari, Jade, Ursula, Coralee, Casey, Jacob, Cricket, Ulysses, Nia, Vee, Ennis, Addy and Kurt. However, this isn't a strict list. You can get invited by a friend, come as someone's date, handwave that Kenzie invited all the cheerleaders, whatever. (Proooobably only people on that list will be allowed to sleep over, though.)

Everyone is arriving in Three Willows, dropping off their stuff, and then apparating to Myrtle Beach. People may need some side-along apparition help.

They're then going to crash a party, get drunk, and go have fun on the boardwalk while pretending they're totally college students, you guys.

Sleeping over is optional.

» Connecticut: earlier: This is a space I made almost entirely so I could have a Kenzie & Kurt scene, sorry.

» myrtle beach: party crashing: Terrible children use fake IDs to pretend they're kind of sort of adults. They probably get drunk. They maybe hit on college kids.

» myrtle beach: ferris wheel: Look at that thing, it's so neon. You know you want to ride the ferris wheel drunk.

» myrtle beach: the beach, boardwalk & pier: Bars, games, food, the ocean!

» Connecticut: sleepover: Everyone manages to make it back to he house in one piece... hopefully. There's a strong possibility Kenzie's getting in trouble but it was worth it.

Ennis sort of looks like a college kid by the vast amount of "No Fucks Given" his outfit radiates. He's unshaven and scruffy and his beachwear looks like he put the minimum amount of effort into it. It's not really his style, but he didn't pack for the beach so he made a last minute run to Winners in No-Maj Woodstock last night. It's the first time in a long time he's worn something without sleeves and he's feeling a bit self-conscious, but he knows what always does the trick: copious amounts of alcohol.

He knows what keg stands are, but he's never been a participant. It takes a few rounds of observing how the older college students do it before Ennis boldly steps forward to try it out. If he fails, at least he doesn't know most of these people. He tucks the front of his tank top into his waistband to prevent his stomach from showing and then glances to the person beside him-- Ulysses-- before nodding toward the keg. "Spot me?" He's going for it.

True Confession: Ulysses only barely knows what a keg stand is. He's encountered the concept in a pop culture sort of way, but he's never actually seen one done before today and he certainly hasn't participated. As far as he's concerned, the whole idea is batshit... which is why, when he sees Ennis (ENNIS) of all people eyeing the keg, he lets out a whoop of genuine delight. He likes this kid a little more with each passing second, honestly.

"You better believe it," Ulysses agrees, cheerfully, as he re-rolls the sleeves of his oxford in preparation. "Show 'em how it's done, boss."

Ennis cracks his knuckles and then wipes his hands off on his swim shorts before bending down to grip the sides of the keg. He briefly reflects on his life, and his choices, and why the keg stand is such a prevalent phenomenon in student culture but then his legs are up and someone's holding the tap to his mouth and everyone's counting and the only thing he cares about is trying to drink from the tap as long as possible to impress these older kids he'll never see again.

Ulysses is very impressed and also... a little scared. After a few seconds, he taps Ennis' leg to remind him to breathe.

Kenzie's not doing that.

She'll spot her girls. She'll cheer on her boys (GO ENNIS, YOU CRAZY KID). But she's not doing that. And neither is sweet*, easy-to-pressure-into-things Iliya. She's standing on the sidelines with a daiquiri next to Iliya, witnessing the madness.

"You're not going to do that, are you?" she asks dryly.

*Sweetness levels may vary.

Iliya also has a daiquiri. Kenzie shoved it into his hands and he spent some time wondering what he was supposed to do with the pineapple wedged onto the lip of the cup. He's following her lead here. Right now, that seems to mean not doing "keg stands," even as he watches in mute fascination at their classmates keg standing like pros. (Standing kegs? He doesn't know the term for it.)

"Seems dangerous," he says finally. Iliya takes a sip of his drink. "I can kill myself the normal way."

Riley totally looks like an adult. All not-even-five-feet of her, in very adult pink shortalls over a possibly too adult Hooters tank top that she can’t wait to get into a wet t-shirt contest, looks exactly like the 21-year-old her transfigured ID claims her to be. She belongs at this party.

And she’ll prove it.

By doing a keg stand. By doing all the keg stands. “HOLD ME HOLD ME HOLD ME,” she pretty much yells at one of her friends, bouncing her high heels up to the keg, ignoring any social etiquette that dictated it was someone else’s turn. “AND DON’T DROP ME.”

Addy's super grateful for her roommates, for once. Virginia was stifling. She's lapping up every second of this land of questionable choices in a very short skirt. This is maybe where she belonged the whole time. To that end she hops excitedly (she's already drinking, duh,) and moves to hold Riley in place. She's a whole five inches taller, this'll be fine. "Umm that sounds like a prefect job and PREFECTS DON'T DROP PEOPLE."

YEAH!!! THIS IS TOTALLY GONNA GO WELL!!! At least this is early enough in the night that Riley has some basic coordination, and she can do a regular handstand pretty okay, so this should be, like, easy mode, right?

"YOU GOT ME GIRL, I KNOW YOU DO." It might not be super necessary for Riley to be shouting so loud, but then someone shoves the tap in her mouth and begins to count and it doesn't matter, it's fine.

It's also perfectly fine when Riley snorts some beer out of her nose and then she starts coughing and she kicks Addy in the forehead with one of her very impractical shoes.

Well that hurts. Addy can't help it; she stumbles back and lets out a little yelp. By some miracle, she's able to keep her arms in the air and Riley upright. And then lowers her gently down, because she's not going to let her drown. "Oh my god. Sorry. Are you okay? You're not gonna drown?" This sounds concerned,but is really just giving Addy a moment to rub her forehead, which she does not think is growing a goose egg.

Kenzie's got a fake ID and she's very, very tall, flirting with 6' tall in her heeled sandals. This means that there aren't many questions when she orders drinks. If you're without the means, then Kenzie's happy to come back with something alcoholic for you. Unfortunately, she's got a sweet tooth, so unless you very clearly specify otherwise, the drink you're getting is very girly, and very strong.

She pushes her latest acquisition into the hands of a nearby friend. "For you, my dear."

Cricket never really feels very mature, but she's practiced at faking it. A childhood spent shadowing her father both in and out Congress means that she knows exactly how to conduct herself like an honest to goodness grownup. She's had no trouble buying drinks for herself all night and after the first hefty tip the pours just kept getting heavier.

By the time Cricket weaves her way over to Kenzie, she by no means needs another drink, but she happily accepts the fruity cocktail anyway. "You're so sweet," she gushes, reaching out to clumsily grip at Kenzie's forearm. "I think you're, like...." Hiccup. "So fun. This has been so fun. Thanks so much for inviting me," she pauses and uses her drink to gesture vaguely in the direction she last spotted her brother, "Us. For inviting us."
