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.

[Look into her eyes, Yasha. She's ready to lead the way to party favor victory. There's a pile towards wherever the original decorators had set it up, but-

Ren doesn't look that way. Nope. She points directly to the space under a table. There's some raised sand under there.

What. Could. It. Be.
]

You can take more from there. That's where I hid my treasures.
barberian: (if you like)

[personal profile] barberian 2018-12-21 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
... But those belong to you.

(It's very kind of her to offer, but Yasha doesn't want to take Ren's things!)

If there aren't any left, I can share. It's okay.
catpiper: (if i was one with the earth)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-12-23 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay. I know how to share.

[There are more as far as she can tell, but-]

I picked out the best ones. That's why you should check those first.
barberian: (ja ja)

[personal profile] barberian 2018-12-27 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
(Yasha's mouth twitches with amusement.)

Hmm. The truth comes out.

(She will absolutely go and have a look then in that case. She finds the little mound of raised sand, and that only tickles her all the more, because it seems so unnecessary to bury a little pile of sunglasses. Looking about at Rey, she mimes upturning the sand. It's okay?)
catpiper: (i defy the shoulds and shouldnts)

[It's fine, Yasha. She's supervising, like any good treasure hoarder would. Look, she's even crawling back under the table to help scoop the sand covered items out of the ridiculous hole she's made.

In this house we love and respect the unerring law of Finder's Keepers, so enjoy the fruits of her labor.

They still work even if there's sand on them.

[To confirm, she slips one of the fake party glasses on her face. Amazing. She can see just fine.]

Your friends will look pretty with these things too.
barberian: (well done)

sorry for the slow reply!

[personal profile] barberian 2019-01-10 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
(Yasha shrugs, sifting her fingers through the sand.) Yes. Though they look pretty anyway.

(It's nice to have things to give them. She'll take three from Ren's secret stash: a blue pair for Beauregard, a green pair for Nott, and a red pair for Mollymauk. She looks very pleased with herself.)

Thank you, Ren.

ur fine!! time is fake

[Ren looks equally as pleased at her dope color choices for her pretty friends, as she shovels all her treasures back into the hole.]

We can look for more treasures again. You can find me and we'll look for pretty things for all our friends.
barberian: (yknow like nya)

you're so right

[personal profile] barberian 2019-01-13 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

(It sounds like fun, actually. Yasha does not care for treasure either way, but Molly is fond of things that sparkle, and so is Nott, and Beau will take anything Yasha offers her, so.)

I would like that.
catpiper: (what if my soul leaves my body)

[personal profile] catpiper 2019-01-13 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's all the confirmation she needs to add Yasha to the list of people she's going to call at 2AM to talk about nonsense. That may not be what she agreed to, but that's what Ren heard and that's how it's gonna be.

She scampers out from under the table, giving the pile one last pat with her foot, before turning on her heel to run another direction.

Okay, okay! I'll come find you later.

[And off she goes!! Bye Yasha!!]
