and the bass keeps runnin runnin

Who: Anyone who heard the announcement, caught a flier in the plaza, of heard by word of mouth. Everyone's welcome!
What: A rave! Well, "rave." Luceti makes everything a little different.
When: June 21st, nightfall to early morning
Where: the beach near Adele's house
Summary: It's the first day of summer! This calls for bonfires, naturally, but why not spice it up with loud music, flashing lights, drinks, dancing, and a conspicuous lack of curfew?
Rating: PG to PG-13, please move anything steamier to appointments or Adele will take the hose to you



Getting all the firewood, food, and drink out to the beach had been, honestly, the hardest part of preparation. Whatever else one might say about running things on magic, it certainly did cut down on the trouble of constructing edifices and machines to run the entertainment side of a party. As it stands, the setup is labour-intensive but otherwise minimal, and there's not much to do by sunset. Escape the house before Max and Zevran, the culture-displaced madmen, can put any more eyeliner on him. Arrive at the beach. Light the bonfires. Make sure the bonfire-cooking-compliant food is set out. Put up a table loaded with bottles, cups, ice, and permanent markers. Thank the resident doctor and quartermaster once more. Plug in the stereo system.

The speakers and light show have been with him since he left his house, in the form of the resident god of mischief, and they confer over sheets of paper with track names and times written on them for a little while just before the start. That's the last of it, and by the time the sky above the mountains is beginning to darken into twilight, the first thumping, trilling strains of dance music begin to echo out across the sand.

It's the shortest night of the year. Best make every second last.

[OOC: Feel free to post your character for mingling, since this entire event is very free-form anyway. For everyone's enjoyment there is a drinks table, food, several bonfires, the ocean (lifeguards not on duty, splash drunkenly at your own risk), and of course a dancing area with lights and music. Music will probably be primarily EDM with a heavy bass line, but occasionally wander into the territories of electro-swing and the like to give even less modern partygoers a chance to show off. The light show as well will stray out of the typical at times, with the expected abstract wheeling and flashing lights giving way to more complicated illusions. Don't be surprised to find yourself and your fellows occasionally dancing in a forest glen or a Rivendell look-alike for a few minutes at a time. Loki is working the tech booth, after all.

The party will go as long as people stay and are enjoying themselves, so have fun and tag around!]

Saleh and/or Ewan

Saleh knew that this wasn't the type of party he'd want to go to. Alcohol, loud music, wild dancing...definitely not his thing. However, he also knew that Ewan would be interested, as it would be a new and different experience for him. And if there was one thing Ewan loved, it was seeing new things.

So Saleh came to the rave for Ewan's sake, to let him have some fun and keep an eye on him. He'd let him come alone if not for the alcohol and irresponsible adults. Saleh walked around the party, watching the dancers and drinkers. The vibration within his body from the loud music was enough to give him a headache...

[Whether or not he knew what a rave was or what it entailed, Ewan never said no to a party or a chance to meet people. All he had to do was avoid the shifty-looking ones or the drunks, right? And fighting bad guys and monsters and seeing the kind of men Tethys used to reject...well, didn't exactly make him an expert but he wasn't completely naive about it, anyway.]

This is kind of neat, isn't it?

[Perhaps it would be, if Saleh wasn’t ready to keel over. And he hasn’t even had any drinks.]

...Neat? ...I suppose so...

I mean, it's loud and crazy but it all looks so fun! Well, some of it, I won't have any of those weird drinks. Gerik would like that part!

He would, wouldn’t he? I’ve tried those drinks, and...I’m not too proud of it.

[And that’s putting it mildly.]

eagerstudent: (oh?)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2013-06-25 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they really that bad? Tethys says I should stay away from them because they make women blind and men act badly, what does that mean? [He has a vague idea, but...]

...I'm not sure about making the women blind...but people become unstable, possibly even violent. It made me...unbearably ill...

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2013-06-27 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Eugh...I won't touch one, then! Promise!

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2013-06-27 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)

...See that you don’t. You will not be happy with yourself.

[And he won’t even need to inflict any punishment.]

And please...try not to let Gerik convince you otherwise.

Don't worry, I don't take Gerik too seriously. He's a great guy but I know he's not too bright. Not like you!
