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.

[ She just shrugs. Some people just want to watch the world burn. The important part is that now Kravitz knows better.

But she grins in triumph at his reaction, taking a break from her own meal in favor of looking at him curiously. ]


You've seriously never seen pizza before?

[It's better he does. Someone help him.

He swallows a bit hurriedly, moving a hand up to cover his mouth while he finishes before he speaks.]


Uhm, no, not-- not really, or at least not like this. We have a, uhm, a flatbread with toppings, but this is... greasier? I also didn't really eat before this, so perhaps I missed something.

Thanks for making it sound gross.

[ The grease is part of the experience, okay? She takes another bite, then frowns at him, swallowing. ]

Didn't eat, like...it was just peanut butter sandwiches every day, or didn't eat eat?
deathfindsaway: (« [Grin] well this isn't very fair is it)

[He snorts quietly from his nose with a little grin. It may sound strange, but it's nice to be chastised, just a bit. Feels familiar.]

Much the latter. I was rather dead before this place. Or well, undead. It didn't require me to do much of the mortal trappings of keeping a body going. It's been an adjustment, for certain.
tuskenlancer: (figure out what side you're on)

[ At least he's got a sense of humor. CT smiles quietly for a second before turning more thoughtful, looking at Kravitz with interest. Dead is one thing, dead she knows, but... ]

...Undead?
deathfindsaway: (« [Explain] its called updog)

[If he didn't have a sense of humor he wouldn't survive Taako, to be sure.]

Ah, well, if you don't know what that is I'm doing my job correctly. It's a state between death and life, which would be rather grisly if I didn't have a goddess on my side. I was alive in the sense that I had my mind, and the ability to experience the world. But I was not required to fulfill the other things life may entail, like... breathing, eating, all of that.

[He sighs, a bit dismayed.]

Frankly, I miss it. An actual body requires so much upkeep. I miss being able to simply fix everything with a snap, you know?

[She probably doesn't.]
