like a ghost into a fog,
where no one notices the

"Good God, I wonder if he thinks we all look alike! That stings a little,
"Do I sound horribly judgmental? Shit. Sorry! When my mother sees this, she's going to find me (no matter where I am) and literally beat me with my own limbs. I kid you not, she has the craziest instincts. I bet she can already smell the sin from here."

While the others suggested betting, Gwynivere laughed and shook her head. Nothing about her was athletic. Don't get me wrong, I like to work out, she'd say. She just never had an interest in sports of any kind.
As Joshua offered Gwyn a drink, she declined it. It seemed like everyone was trying to get hammered tonight, and as much as she didn't want to seem like a prude, Gwyn was trying desperately to maintain some air of class. Even though she rolled her eyes, she was also trying to manufacture her image for their audience. Her image was definitely not some stupid drunk girl trying to sexually harass her male counterparts.
"Anyone care to take a trip to the beach? It feels so nice outside." Josh pointed out.
"Oh that sounds wonderful!" Gwyn looked at Franky as though she were asking for permission, when in reality, she was asking for her comapny. "Do you want to?"
Now this was an idea she could agree upon! Of course, she would go with him, but for Wyn, it was all a ploy to sit in the sand with a book and relax. She already had a hold of Franky's arm, ready at any moment to drag her upstairs so that they could change. Gwyn could already envision the little space in her suitcase where she had neatly placed her hat, her swimsuit, her sunglasses, and her current Crichton sci-fi thriller, Timeline.
Seeing the glance between Josh and Gwyn when the producer mentions wanting to go down to the beach. Franky's first instinct, truth be told, is to excuse herself away so that the musical duo and slink off to the beach together and spend the rest of the night discussing lyrics or singing to each other or whatever it is two musicians do when flirting with one another. Unfortunately, before Franky can make some sort of story up for why she really needs to be doing something on the other side of the room, and therefore do her best in the self designated role of wingman for the two, Gwyn addresses her.
"Do you want to?"
Franky can't deny Gwyn's clear request for company. She smiles indulgently, "If you want to, sure- should we take some drinks with us? A shot for every constellation we see?" The sun has set by now, such that it is dimly lit outside by the moon and the stars. If they are going to head outside, perhaps it would be a good idea to invite other people along as well. After all, this was supposed to be the first night to meet all of the guys and whatnot, but it seems as though everyone has already begun to clique up very securely, which will only slow down the process of finding everyone's match.
"Should we invite more of the group, then? Maybe play some volleyball by the light of the moon? Or we could play ride the bus? Paranoia? King's cup? I'm in the mood for games," the pace of her words has slowed down just a touch as she begins to get that sort of lightheaded feeling that alcohol provides. This only brings her down to the speed of everyone else, as otherwise Franky is quite the fast talker.
Gwyn had asked Franky if she was wanting to go, to which the latter had suggested they bring more drinks. While drunk Josh was definitely in the mood to get the whole group involved in some sort of drinking game, the underlying sober Josh who had realized it needed to take a break from the alcohol was suddently wanting to just grab his guitar and sit by the water. "I think I'm actually just going to grab a bottle of water for right now, take a small break from the alcohol, but yeah we can totally take some stuff down there with us! I may be in the mood for more later." He walked back to the bar and grabbed four bottles, one for everyone in the group. They hadn't asked for one but if the drinking kept up, they'd definitely need some a little later.
As he offered Franky hers, she suggested inviting the rest of the house down. Josh was fine with this, except that when he looked around he saw that everyone seemed to have grouped up. Shrugging, he did the only thing he could think of to let everyone within ear shot know the plan and invite them to join in, he cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, "We're going to make a trip to the beach if anyone wants to come with!"
Confessional:
I can see it already. Drama.

As he looked around the room once more, seeing who had turned their heads at his words and who looked interested in joining them, his eyes landed on Gwyn momentarily. He was itching to take out his guitar and take it down with him, but he A) wasn't sure where it was at the moment and B) didn't know if everyone would find that annoying. Josh opened his mouth to ask, almost decided against it, and then did it anyways. "Should I bring my guitar? If I can find it that is..." He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. Half of his water bottle was already gone and he was beginning to lose that crazy confident feeling the alcohol had given him. His fingers automatically went to the safety blanket that was the tiny songbook in his pocket.
