[somewhat late]
[With all the chaos today, Ashton had holed himself up in his apartment for most of the day. He had nearly forgotten all about the party -- and still felt awkward for being so specially invited -- but he shows up eventually.
He's sort of dressed for the beach? Long shorts, a loose t-shirt, and sandals; but everything is black. Ashton isn't wearing any of his necklaces, charms, or the orb lighter, because he doesn't want them to get lost in the sand.
He'll be off to the side, staring at the piles of food on the table, contemplating just how many people were showing up, and looking more nervous by the moment.]
