she appeared out of nowhere, dropping onto the empty space beside them without much hesitation. “ wait, ” niya adjusted the blanket beneath her, the look on her face clearly indicating that she’s too pleased with herself. “ the invitation specifically encouraged sharing blankets with strangers, ” finally, she explains after watching the confusion forming on their face. her arms moved up and down in a careless shrug. “ i think if we both commit to the bit, we can make it work, ” her lower lip moved, forming a pout and within a fraction of a second, she held out her hand very dramatically. “ so .. what’s your name ? what are your hopes and dreams ? your biggest flaw ? ”

Luca's grateful that the bar is busy tonight, really, he is. He'd just be a little more grateful if he'd expected the rush and hadn't let his bartender take the night off to go to the bonfire.
Normally, when bigger venues host an event, he'll be lucky to have a wait at the bar. But it's the start of the tourist season, and the one thing that Sabbia does have going for it is its location right by the beach- so his floor is filled with spillovers from the bonfire, the normal groups of tourists who'd end up here, with or without the event, and all the unfortunate people sent into the nearest cheap bar (his) by their friends for another case of beer or a round of shots. All that to say, he's slammed and working the bar alone.
Still. He's grateful for the rush.
After pouring a round of lemon drops for a group at one end of the bar and pushing a glass of water towards a girl who's been sitting at the bar for a few hours too long, he moves toward the person who'd just walked in and flashes them a quick smile. "Buonasera, ah- what can I get for you? Cocktail, shots, another case for the bonfire?"

↳ @capritownstarters , open !
Shae has only been in Capri for less than a week. The past few days feel like a whirlwind, and every time she stops to think about the fact that she essentially ran away from her whole life, she gets nauseous. She's been trying to tell herself that she didn't 'run away', exactly. She just... took a break. A quick, maybe month-long break a country away from the fiance she was vacationing with and a whole ocean away from her life in New York. There's a very real, very high chance she'll be back there by July, anyway, just as soon as she figures out.... whatever the hell is going on inside her head.
For now, she needs desperately to think about anything else. So when the luxury beach club not far from her hotel is advertising a bonfire to celebrate the season, she thinks this is the perfect opportunity to get lost in. Capri doesn't disappoint; the music is great, the food delicious, and after a couple of drinks, the night is almost starting to feel how it used to back in her more enjoyable socialite days. She relishes in the warmth in her chest easily cooled by the coastal breeze, swaying to the lively music.
She swears she's nowhere near drunk, but she maybe doesn't have the best balance even sober, so it is definitely entirely her fault when she sways a little too far and nearly knocks into someone, almost tripping over her own sandal in the process. "Mi scusi!" Shae chirps, using the baseline Italian she can remember, praying whoever it is will understand her.
“ call it, ” he stops in front of them, no greeting or any form of build up from him, nothing except the faint click of metal between his fingers when he pulls out a coin. ace only shrugs as he watches the reaction on their face, acting like he’d lost his mind. “ you can ask for what it’s for after, that’s the fun part … ” he flips the coin once between his fingers as the small grin tugs at his mouth.
Shae had sort of thought the whispers about incoming dares later in the night was just gossip, something to stir excitement and keep people interested. Imagine her surprise when one does in fact get delivered to her, and she dreads opening it to reveal something insane like skinny dipping or cliff diving or stealing.
As far as dares go, hers seems to be pretty tame, but she still hadn't expected to be spending part of her night wandering the beach with a glamorous stranger, away from the crowded party. The spot they end up in is quiet and peaceful, the sound of the waves under the moon soothing her slight anxiety in trying to find the right small talk to fill the supposed twenty minutes. "Do you think they're actually timing us?" Shae asks playfully, tilting her head in curious amusement, trying to get a peek at the other's girl's own green eyes.
being given this dare, gabe had to tell himself he had to be gentle, as he tends to have very harsh first impressions. it takes a bit for him to warm up, especially when his interactions with his partner mostly come from the café they work at. ❛❛ do you feel solid for the real first impression, or should i make something up ? ❜❜ he's not looking to rain on her day if she is someone that is susceptible to these kind of things. although it truly wasn't that bad of a first impression. ❛❛ you are the barista down at la dolce vela, right ? ❜❜ he asks to make sure he doesn't have the wrong person, but he rarely forgets a face. especially not one that would give him burnt bitter coffee for a week straight.
this is the time to look under your chair, your drinks, check your beach bags and pockets. if you’ve found a folded note, congratulations ! don’t panic … or do, depending on what it says.
anonymous dares are officially in circulation and making their way to everyone around lido bellanotte. they are harmless, some of them might be dangerous or make you go skinny dipping with a complete stranger, but all of them are going to make your night a little more interesting. crushes might get exposed, tension might get created and people might share things they absolutely weren’t planning on sharing tonight, so … good luck, you’re going to need it.
and as a reminder, blame your mystery dare distributor, not us. maybe it will result in a lifelong friendship or a heartbreak, you never know !

"I'M LONGING TO LINGER 'TIL DAWN, dear, just saying this," the velvet words left red lips, amplified by the sound of the microphone propped before her. her brown irises lifted from the piano keys before her, feeding off the energy of the partygoers as adrenaline filled her system. performing gave a high no drug could replicate, there was no moment where fifi felt more alive than when she was on stage. "sweet dreams, 'til sunbeams find you. sweet dreams, that leave all worries far behind you."
she took a deep breath, preparing for the final notes as she finished out the jazz tune. "but in your dreams, whatever they be, dream a little dream of me~" the applause rippled through fifi's body, causing her entire being to glow in satisfaction. it didn't matter the size of the stage, she was found herself stealing the show and now wasn't any different. "thank you, please tip your servers and enjoy the rest of the party!"
