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!]

Ah... [Vastra looks uncomfortable for a moment, then reconsiders.] Frankly my dear, I doubt it would be anything I haven't seen before.
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Grin)

[Natasha just laughs at that and takes another sip of her drink.] So, has Jack or Eugene dragged you out for a dance, yet?

No. [The word is wrapped in a short laugh and a disbelieving raise of her brows.] I doubt they will. I suspect my presence is much like a mother arriving to police her child's party. I'm too old-fashioned for this.

What, you're not even going to try? [Natasha's expression is definitely holding some mischief now as she grins at Vastra.] I don't know. I bet you could pull it off.

[Vastra gives Natasha a knowing look.] Natasha, look at that young man over there. [She gestures to a man flailing wildly and stomping around.]

Now imagine me moving like that.

[Natasha's smirk definitely a hint wicked now. She can't help but tease her a little.] Why do you think I asked you to try?

Besides, you wouldn't be moving like that. I know how graceful you are. I'm not sure you could be that awkward even if you were trying.

You didn't ask me to try, but you did say you thought I could 'pull it off'. Your smirk says the image I provided made you reconsider at least for a moment.

[She smiles though, because she can see the humor in the situation too.] Oh I can be terribly awkward when I'm trying not to be, just like everyone else. There's a vast difference between swordsmanship and... [She gestures out at the wiggling crowd.] ...and this.
