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.

"Wow, seriously? Not long at all. Be glad you get to party so soon, a lot of people came here in pretty precarious situations."

His own almost seemed like nothing in comparison, but considering the islets didn't even exist when he arrived perhaps he shouldn't quite say that. "Know anyone here? I've kind of noticed that, uh... a lot of people do. It's kinda weird."

"... No, it was fairly precarious."

There was a stampede, and everything. Yasha makes a face.

"I know three people here. Is that strange? Do you not know anybody?" If she hadn't found Beau, Mollymauk and Nott, Yasha might have gone on thinking that nothing was awry for quite a while. She might have thought herself off wandering as per usual; she's glad that they're here.

"Nah, I know people, too. I just think... Like, there's a bajillion people on all these different worlds, right? When I ended up here, I was separated from my friends back home. So, isn't it kind of weird that of all the people in the world, only people that I knew came here with me? We weren't even together at the time. And of all the people on your world, people you know are here? It seems like it can't be a coincidence."

Even Prompto could be suspicious of stuff like this. Of course, Yasha barely had time here to even learn about all of it yet.

"...Glad you know people, though. It's a lot easier to get settled in if you have people you trust with you."

sorry for the slow reply!

"... I hadn't thought about it like that."

But now that he mentions it, of course that's odd. Yasha's been focused on the fact that they all seem to be from different points in time to question that. "Though, I suppose other people here could be from my world here too and I wouldn't know it. I haven't met everybody in the world, you know?"

Maybe Prompto is from her world. That opens up a new possibility that is a little staggering to think about.

"But I'm glad that I know people too. I don't find it hard to work alone, but it is nice to have somebody all the same."
want_to_belong: (Laidback)

No problem. Shall we wrap up? Old thread is old

"I thought that at first. But, we, uh... Don't have spider ladies or elezen or talking animals or whatever back home. It's pretty much just us humans. Made it obvious something was up pretty quick."

He shook his head. "I guess that's stuff we can try and figure out in the future, though."
barberian: (*gay fluster*)

sure haha

"I... don't think that we have talking animals back home," Yasha says, looking thoughtful, "but maybe I just haven't met any yet." When magic is possible in your world, it's pretty easy to be able to suspend your disbelief.

Anyway. She shrugs, and glances back across the beach as if expecting to see somebody she knows, as it seems they have pretty much exhausted this particular topic of conversation. She doesn't, but she's going to take off anyway, because that's what she does. She jerks a thumb over one shoulder, lamely.

"... I will see you later." And then she's just going to turn and leave... her strides are maybe too big, she's clearly a bit awkward about the whole thing.
