Daytime Solstice Party

[windandrain]

Who: Anyone and Everyone
What: A party to celebrate the longest day of the year
When: June 21st, Noon to Nightfall
Where: The Southern Lake
Summary: Helios and Saori decided to host a party with food, dancing, and friends to mark the solstice, the birthday of a friend, and several other personal things. Residents volunteered to help get it together, and now all the work is done so it's time to set aside their troubles and enjoy summer!
Rating: PG to PG-13 at most (For language most likely)


It'd taken a week, getting everything together, but with everyone pitching in they'd managed it. Food, drinks, decorations, and all the trappings of a fine summer party. An area had been roped off for dancing and music, umbrella'd tables had been procured for meals and relaxing in the shade, and they'd even set up a piano for Fredric to perform with. A gentle breeze kept the lakeshore cool and mosquito free, and by noon everything appeared to be ready for the midsummer party.

The Longest Day, Helios' boyfriend's birthday, and Saori's ascension day had all conveniently coincided, so no matter what you're here to celebrate, enjoy yourselves and have fun! Toss your character anywhere, and remember that all important rule. As a note, teleport sigils to the other party were set up by Helios so feel free to pop between the two. Go ahead and start new top-level comments if you like too, these are just generic ones!

Oh, I see. I've never had any Japanese or Romanian foods before. But I look forward to trying some of them. Is there anything you suggest I try first?

[folklorist]

Japanese wise? I suggest udon noodles or stir-fry first. It's not as...eclectic as other dishes and it's quite good too! Miso soup is rather delicious as well. As for Romanian...I usually tell people to eat the stuffed peppers, or the tochitură which is a stew with beef and pork in tomato sauce and served over eggs, done easy, and mămăligă. Mămăligă is a, ah, porridge made out of yellow maize flour. But those-those are a few of the ones I would recommend for people just getting into the cuisine.

I see. [She glances thoughtfully at the food.] I shall have to remember that when it's time to eat.

[She glances down and notices the set of streamers she was holding.] Oh yes, I was going to ask your opinion on where you think I should hang these?

[folklorist]

I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever you have. We do have rather good cooks on hand!

[ Helios will quirk his brows at that question. His gaze turning towards the open area and the trees nearby. There's a small, white plastic archway that leads into the entire event which could make good use of the streamers. He'll rub his chin in thought as he nods. ]

Perhaps we could use the trees and the archway?

[funnygirl]

I'm sure I will to.

[She seems to consider this, following his gaze. After a moment, she nods.]

That's a wonderful idea. I'll see what I can do.

[folklorist]

If you need any help just ask! I'll be around setting up other things as well.

[funnygirl]

I most certainly will!

[And she's off to work.]
