WHAT: Like it says, a pool party! Both to keep up morale and to celebrate the massive pool upgrade (courtesy one Dr. Stephen Strange). WHERE: The pool, obviously. Come one, come all! Even if you're not feeling very yourself! WHEN: Afternoon, Day 6. It was going to be earlier in the week but then Stuff Happened and Vax held off on announcing it until later so everybody could get acclimated to their delayed onset weekly struggle. (Yes, this is absolutely my excuse for not having this done earlier!)
Keeping it simple because no one wants to try swimming with a stomach full of really heavy food. Think things like this, this (only a lot more rough looking because Vax daggered them into shape... they're made with love, okay), and this all cobbled together with things they could scrounge up that were on hand. Also platters of peanut butter cookies and brownies... almost everything courtesy of Hugh making culinary magic with Vax doing a lot of stirring and cutting.
As far as drinks are concerned: it's an open bar, go crazy! Ish! If someone wants to take up bartending duties then they're more than welcome to, but otherwise you're being trusted to know your own limits (however wise that might not be) and remember that ending up somewhere a restock is possible obviously isn't guaranteed*. Whatever non-alcoholic options are generally available on campus are also going to be provided. Please don't pass out in the hot tub.
*And be very careful with the pixie cider, should Stephen choose to keep that available at the pool bar: "served by the teaspoon, this surprisingly potent drink leaves the drinker seeing stars and "pixie dust" trails behind all other creatures for 4 hours." (It was 1d4 so I rolled and got 4, so get ready to trip, everybody!) Maybe don't use a whole teaspoon - Stephen's suggesting a mist over another drink at best, I believe!
FUN & GAMES
Make your own fun for sure, enjoy the pool, but when things get quieter there'll be a few group games suggested!
MARCO POLO: One person is It, eyes closed, and then it proceeds like playing tag until the person who's It catches someone. Played in five minute rounds so no one gets stuck as It for all eternity and it'll go until people get sick of it. Use your powers if you got 'em, it's fine it's cool that's not cheating at all everything's great! (No but seriously, what's the point of having powers if you can't use them to win party games?)
CHICKEN: Vax will probably only remember what this is called when he starts calling for people to let him know who wants to play and what the team arrangements are. Teams of two, one person sits on the other's shoulders and faces off against another team. First team to knock the other team down moves on to the next round until a winner is crowned! (More like congratulated. You win bragging rights, though!)
CANNONBALL CONTEST: Most impressive one wins. If anyone wants to volunteer as judge(s) so Vax can participate in this, he'll be forever thankful to you.
