How long has it been since she's gone to a pool party? Chrissy can't remember exactly, which is why she's more than eager to throw on a cute suit and join in the festivities. She's been to the pool before, of course, but it's usually deserted. Now there are people everywhere and it's almost enough to make her forget how strange things have felt lately.
It's after some intense deliberation that she accepts the pink bracelet. If asked about it, she'll likely just smile and shrug and explain that she likes the color, which isn't a lie, but it isn't the whole truth. Either way, she'll end up wearing the bracelet properly for a while- but at some point she's going to convert it into a hair tie.
For a while, she's content to lounge by the pool or in one of the chairs scattered around. She spends some time swimming as well. The painting clearly has her interest, though obviously not enough to motivate her to abandon her post by the pool. If someone else were to come along and offer, she wouldn't say no. The pool games are a little too rowdy for her, however, and she's careful to stay out of the way of them. Per usual, Chrissy is cheerful and willing to chat with anyone that wants to approach.
Eventually, abandon the pool in favor of wandering off into the gardens- either by herself or at someone's request. The maze is one of her favorite places, and she'll inevitably make her way to the center when she's had enough socializing. Regardless of where she's ended up, she'll watch the fireworks, and probably feel some type of way about it.
Fruits of Labour
The shift in the grounds feels both gradual and sudden. It's comforting, she supposes, to see the leaves start to change color. And sure, it's a relatively minor thing, but she'd always loved seeing it at home. It feels like such a mundane thing to be excited about, and it makes her a little nostalgic for a place she has no desire to ever return to. There'd been no plants or animals at all on the Serena Eterna, so it's just nice to have that sense of normalcy again.
The extent of the festivities is a little surprising, though Chrissy supposes it shouldn't be that shocking, considering everything she's seen and heard and learned about this place so far. It's no Hawkins Autumn Festival for sure, but it's still beautiful, and she wants to see as much of it as she can manage. The spread is impressive this time around, which isn't surprising either. Chrissy notes, with some passing interest, that the little personalized cakes have made a comeback- though she doesn't see one for herself this time.
What really catches her interest is the hay maze. It's not nearly as impressive as the corn mazes they'd had in Hawkins, or the hedge maze, but it looks cute and she's eager to give it a chance. Left to her own devices, she'll go during the day, but the right person might convince her to give it a try at night.
She'll happily try her hand at at the games, and curiosity will drive her to attend the ceremony at the end of the week- though she's not eating or drinking anything that came into contact with the giggly table ornaments.
Choose Your Own
Ye olde wildcard option. I'm open to handfasting threads, but I figured I'd let people tag in for those. I'm willing to roll with prose or brackets, so follow your hearts. HMU @ conryflake on plurk or discord to plot something specific (or bully me into writing a starter), or just throw something else at me. I'm easy to get along with.
