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!]

[ The party has been going on for a while when Lirael arrives, and it's more than a little intimidating to the young mage.

She's just... really not used to anything like this kind of gathering. There are lots of people there, being sober appears to be highly optional and the music is an insistent and somewhat oppressive throb that she can feel in her bones just as much as she hears it.

She can most likely be found in some more quiet corner, looking wary and intensely awkward because how does one even people? And... that sort of dancing looks a little more intense and... um... touchy-feely than she's really comfortable with.

She might need to get a little loosened up, anyone feel like helping out with that?

[ Sup Lirael you can have one awkward derpy mage sitting by the fire and making s'mores and other campfire goodies. When he spots Lirael standing alone he'll wave her over with a motion of his arm a bright smile on his features as he does so.

He'd call out to her but the music is deafening and he's pretty sure she couldn't hear him anyway. ]

[ Lucky thing she manages to catch sight of him, and her smile definitely has a relieved look to it. At least Helios is someone she knows and likes, that makes things feel a little bit less intimidating.

She joins him by the fire and sits down next to him, leaning in to speak directly into his ear.

What are you making?

[ Lucky indeed! Helios will move over to make room for Lirael shifting the metal stake in his hand with a nice golden brown marshmallow on the end. ]

They're called s'mores back in my world. Would you like to try one? It's two graham crackers with chocolate and roasted marshmallow between them!
