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!]

Yeah, maybe. I guess it depends on what they did with it though.

Arya. It's a symbol of her family or something, I think. Nymeria doesn't really cause problems, so I don't complain. She's kind of cool when she's not growling at you.

Anyone who is collecting souls is probably not into the flowers and puppies school of magic.

...with her giant white teeth and slavering mouth.

Yeah, probably not. Is there really a flower and puppies school of magic?

And she does not slaver! But her teeth are pretty big, I have to give you that.

There's certainly magic to do with flowers and I'm sure there are some people with an affinity for dogs so...

Everything I've heard says that wolves do not make good pets.

But not in a nice way, I'm guessing.

Well, she seems be working out fine. She listens to Arya and I have the feeling she'd rather die than hurt her.

abjurer: (What do you mean you lost the key?)

Magic isn't good or evil. It just is.

Well, I guess that's something. Just... wolves aren't dogs. Dire wolves even less so.

Turned good or bad by the person, right?

Yeah, I know, but I can't explain it. Arya has her under control. They're... pals, I guess. She hasn't hurt anyone, so I don't feel a need to make her kick the dog to the curb.

Intent is everything. It'd be like saying a rock was evil.

Friends with a wolf. Interesting. Could be a kind of familiar relationship.

[ He laughed at that comparison. ]

Okay yeah, I guess that's a good comparison when you put it that way.

Maybe? I'm not big into magic and stuff, but nothing's bad happened, so no need to ride the kid about it. Besides, we get some pretty fresh meet with Nymeria around, so I can't complain. Wolf fur is a bitch to get out of the couch though.

It's how I've always learnt it. There's very little that's inherently bad or good.

I bet it is. I'm guessing bopping it's nose with a newspaper is probably a bad idea.

Ah, yeah, I don't try that. Ever. She annoys me sometimes, but I'm not suicidal either! I'm pretty sure her canines are the size of dinner knives!
