It's an unseasonably warm day, which is largely good fortune for the Baker family, as the weather forecast hadn't gone out that far when they'd been deciding when to push the party back to.

They've learned by now that Halloween is almost always a harbinger of some kind of danger, so they agree to stay close to home and do quiet activities on the day, and it makes sense for them to just go for the following weekend.

They set up some lawn games, a table for refreshments, and a smaller table for any presents that are brought along. Chairs are arranged into a wide semicircle for guests to sit in. To keep the chickens out of trouble, they're gently herded and penned into the back yard. Regan sets up a portable speaker with her laptop to play music, and prepares her drone for plenty of photo ops.

Saoirse is, as usual, the consummate hostess. She makes sure anyone that arrives easily finds the refreshments, and makes sure that if something they'd prefer isn't there, she gets it for them. Her invitations had been handmade that year, each with a tracing of her hands and cute press-on nails painted with her developing skill to read COME ALONG!

And occasionally, the soilse join the fun as she sings along to the music Regan's picked out.


[ HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, SAOIRSE!!! She's ten years old now, officially, and her birthday is set to take place the weekend after Halloween. Will be posted for December reqs bc time just... super got away from me. If you're a friend of Saoirse's, you're invited! ]

The rumors about the monster in the sea are, Saoirse is certain, just that: rumors. The seals aren't afraid, and she knows Daine would tell Greta not to let her go into the water too deep or for too long if there was anything to be really worried about. But Big Mona must be at least a little bit real, because there are pictures, and people keep talking about it, even when they don't find anything.

So she'd called Luke up and asked if he wanted to go with her and Regan to the beach, and see if they could find something. Regan's mostly just there so Greta doesn't fret about two kids out by themselves. Cu is there, too, of course. He's as good a nanny as any, but Regan is also using the time to test out the latest modifications to her drone, so it works out all around.

Right now, she's further up the sand, while Cu, Saoirse and Luke run around. Saoirse's found a few shells that she wants to take home and add to her carefully growing collection. For now, they're set aside with her backpack, and she's throwing a stick into the water for Cu.

"D'you think we'll see her?" she asks Luke. "That Big Mona everyone's talking about."

The beach is the perfect place to go as a teenager. There are lots of cute boys playing frisbee and volleyball, and the sun and sand are perfect. She's got one of Regan's bathing suits on, because naturally she wouldn't fit into any of hers, and her hair is in a braid down her back. She'd invited Luke, to get him out and about and hopefully break the weird funk that learning he's supposed to be much younger had put him in.

The pull of the sea is dull, today, probably since she's so close to it. There are seals on the rocks off to the far end of the beach, watching her, and she's certain she'll end up over there before long. For now, she's at the surf, a straight shot from their towels and the bag of beach things she'd brought along. Cu is with them, trying to entice play, and she laughs when a wave splashes up against his thick fur, making him shake hard.

Wet sand and saltwater sprays everywhere.
