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.

[He rests his other hand on Shiro's arm as he watches his face. He almost looks at peace. He's never seen him like this before. It could be the alcohol in his system letting him release a few of his burdens. But the way Shiro's been leaning into his touch and touching back.
...no. Better to think about that tomorrow. When they're both sober and he can gauge how much Shiro remembers of the night before.]
I know you are and that you never doubted me. That means a lot, more than I can put into words.
no subject
[ Okay, maybe he's more out of it than he thought. But with Keith's hand in his hair, his arm... it's pretty distracting. He finds himself searching Keith's face, lingering on that mysterious scar and his eyes.
He quickly looks up from Keith's lips, even as he plays with Keith's hair. It's relaxing, and Keith's hair is soft.
At least he doesn't touch his forehead to Keith's. That, he can't explain away. ]
That's what we do. We believe in each other, no matter what.
no subject
There's enough distance between them that he can explain this away as just taking it easy. Touch is part of how they communicate. But he does raise his eyebrow just a hair. He'd noticed the slip but what that means...again. Better not to think about it right now.]
...anything else you want to talk about right now? I'll try not to be too dodgy. Just some of it should be when I'm sure you'll remember in the morning.
no subject
[ He falls quiet, thinking. There are a lot of things he wants to know, but that he shouldn't ask about. So... he needs to choose a topic carefully. It's harder than it should be. ]
So... your mom, huh? I never asked what she was like.
no subject
She's incredible. She and Kolivan trained most of the Blades in active duty. And living with just her for two years was...we had a lot of talks. She's really steady and reasonable.
We're both stubborn too but...
[But he loves his mother. He shuts his eyes again.]
Part of the way I am now is because of her. She helped me settle things.
no subject
She sounds amazing. [ Keith sounds so happy when he talks about her, and that makes Shiro happy. ] How'd she end up on Earth, anyway?
no subject
Okay, so, Ulaz knew the Blue Lion is on Earth because of mom. The empire was sending out teams to search with a special program and equipment that could detect them. The Blades inserted their members into each team.
To thwart them. They weren't successful with Red. But for Blue she took out the team but...crashed herself. Dad rescued her. [He sets his hand on Shiro's chest and looks up at him again. This part is going to be difficult. He still doesn't like talking about it.]
She tried to stay to protect the Blue Lion. But the Empire kept sending patrols. Dad got hurt and she made the decision to protect both of us. She went back to being a spy in the empire and shifted their focus away from Earth.
no subject
He wonders if Keith can feel how hard and fast his heart is beating. He hesitates, then places his hand over Keith's, because that seems like a good idea right now. Gently, he squeezes. ]
So... that's where you got the knife? She left it with you before she had to go. [ His thumb rubs little circles on Keith's hand. ] She sounds so strong. Having to leave the man she loved and you...
[ ... he can relate, sort of. He'd left everything behind when he went to Kerberos. He'd left Keith behind. ]
She gave up everything to protect both of you.
no subject
She protected the people she loves. [He pauses and studies Shiro's face. His best friend's heart is beating so fast completely at odds with their conversation. His hand is trapped under Shiro's but touching for touch's sake is not underheard of between them. Yet usually, they're both pretty calm even under the surface.]
...Shiro, your heart is going really fast. Are you okay? [He barely resists leaning closer as his hand slips from Shiro's hair to rest on his shoulder.]
