you and me in the moonlight

Who: You!
What: A year end party MINGLELOG to help everyone recover from the Shit we’ve been through.
When: Forwarddated to Nov 24
Where: Enso E4, close to the ST Temple
Warnings: Mark as necessary, but none expected.

As the end of November draws near…… it’s time for that player plot the mods hinted at in their latest announcement.

Laurent’s Witch Labyrinth! -no, actually, it’s just a party.

[preparation]

All day on the 24th people are hard at work setting up on the golden beaches of Enso. The Storyteller’s Temple can be seen from the site and vice versa; it’s just a short walk away. There’s quite a bit to be done, so every extra pair of hands are welcome!

[the party]

As evening falls, a series of torches light up the party site for the lost; most prominent are the three large campfires spaced out across the beach, offering a variety of gathering spots for those who don’t like the loud partying going on at the other one.

There’s more than enough food to go around. An entire Cariborn is being dug up from the sandy soil way up the beach, having been roasted in the ground. There’s a wide variety spread out on tables… of handwaved origin… maybe they’re the ones left around from 4/20?? It’s probably fine. Herb- baked vegetables, fresh fruits, meat of various types, pizza!! and yes, Muffet’s Magic Blackberry Alcohol abound.

We’ve also got party favors. Amongst them, it seems like..... owo are these sparklers?

Come hang out! It’s a well-deserved break.

[activities]

The children (and adults so-inclined) have some cute party games to have fun with. There’s a simple little ringtoss area set up, with rings that aren’t even proper circles (listen, Laurent tried) and wooden stakes in the ground to be ringed.

Across the wide stretch of sand there's a lot that can be done- want to build some sandcastles? Pick some shells? Fight some crabs? The beach is dotted with doodles in the sand, inviting you to join in.

The biggest attraction is perhaps the petting zoo- well, it’s a cluster of animals just hanging out, but you get the idea. Located far up on the beach and away from the danger of the waves, the petting zoo has three whole Chocobos, two whole Tigerlilies (one of which is clearly guarding the Chocobos), and one whole horse. Sometimes two horses, but the grey wandering one is wearing a plaque that says “I BITE. PET ME CAREFULLY.”

[storyteller?]

Yes, ST-chan is invited! I’m leaving it to them to top-level or tag out at their leisure. Keep an eye out for the bunny god, they’re Coming.

[Muffet pauses in the middle of wrangling her own setup through the mana pool with considerably more ease, and frowns.]

Dearie, do you want a hand or two with those? I have got a few to spare.

[Spider puns: always the best icebreaker.]

It's kind of a sticky situation, isn't it? [He's tired, there are so many things stacked in his arms, and that's the best pun he can come up with.] But yeah. I, uh. This isn't even all of it.

[There's still basket hell to contend with. He should really stop doing the thing where he gets bored and makes a basket so suddenly he has like fifty baskets and he definitely doesn't need any of them.]
prettypurpleparlor: I have within my pantry (Table ready)

[It's okay, she appreciates the effort.]

Here, let me just...

[Muffet shifts her own bundle to one hand, then reaches out with two others and calmly lifts the entire table that Connor's carrying. It doesn't appear to be taking her any actual effort.]

[Apparently, when you make a spider five feet tall, that fun little factoid about arachnids being capable of carrying things several times their size scales proportionately.]

[If it wasn't abundantly clear to Connor that he is, in fact, the only person with particular skillsets, he would probably constantly feel like everyone is better than him at everything. As it is, he's just here to accept that he's a noodle boy and a spider is stronger than him.]

Thanks. I didn't really make them to be moved, which was maybe an oversight on my part.

[People who are not particularly forward-thinking: Connor "I only recently learned how to actually envision myself in the future" Murphy.]
prettypurpleparlor: A subtle web (I'm sure you're very welcome)

[personal profile] prettypurpleparlor 2018-11-27 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, she is a pretty big spider? It's not as though he's getting out-lifted by something tiny he found spinning a web up in the corner of the room.]

[She falls into step beside him, chatting idly as they go.]


I'm just rather impressed you made them at all. I'm afraid that my own carpentry skills were... a bit lacking, up until I had the opportunity to take some lessons, here.

[Read: she made a lot of vaguely bowl-shaped disasters until Magnus helped her figure out how the fuck woodworking was supposed to happen.]
