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!]

"Did I?" Jack looked at the spot he threw it at, but it was too dark to really make sense of it. "I do that sometimes."

"Hmm." She looked out there as well, but she couldn't see it in the dark either.

"What are you doing all the way out here?"

"I'm drunk, babe. Drunk and happy. That I'm not in the ocean is the true marvel, right now."

And then he stepped out into the water, just enough to get his currently bare feet wet.

"Well, that's...good?" Good that he's happy, but the drunk part, not so much.

There was a beat as the last part seemed to sink in.

"Wait, you were in the ocean?"

"Do I look wet?" He didn't. "But I'm thinking about it. A bit."

"So you're...going to swim out there? Be careful..."

"I'm not going to swim. These are very nice pants." Jack gave her a look like she had completely lost it. He was just wading. The bottom of his pants were wet.

And she...probably has completely lost it at this point.

"You're...confusing me, Brother..."

"You seem to already be several shades of confused, babe. Take it easy on the boozing, eh?"
swordprincess: (What)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2013-06-28 01:56 am (UTC)(link)

"But...I haven't had any..."

Where was he even getting that from?

originaljackass: originaljackass @ LJ (Not sure if serious)

[personal profile] originaljackass 2013-06-28 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Well I'm not your brother."
swordprincess: (What)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2013-06-28 05:28 am (UTC)(link)

This again?

"Why do you keep saying that? I've searched everywhere for you! You couldn't have forgotten me!"

He tsked at her. "Babe, your head isn't screwed on right. We've never met."

“...Are you sure? Perhaps you’ve been drinking too much.”

Because unlike her, Jack’s actually been drinking.

"I've been drinking exactly the right amount. Maybe you need to drink some more. Or get yourself some glasses."
