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!]

[Bucky puts an arm around her, but his expression flickers from amused to hey wait a minute --- that thing in the shower -- wait just a minute.

Natasha keeps talking before he can say anything of course, so he pinches her butt at the same time he turns to smile at Jack.]
Hey, don't sell yourself short. You talked 'em into... well, this.

[He's honestly pretty blown away.]

Why don't we all take a load off and grab a few beers?

[She doesn't give away any reaction to Bucky's sudden double-take or the sharp pinch he gives her in retribution, although it is a struggle not to just laugh at the expression he gets, knowing she'll have to answer for that later. She doesn't mind.

At Bucky's suggestion, she grins and inclines her head in agreement with that.]


Sounds like a good way to start it. I think Buck's going to need a few anywhere before I can coax him out there to try some of that. [She waves a hand at the mass of dancers - a familiar sight to her, but certainly something new for Bucky.]
jamesbarnes: (yeah well)

[personal profile] jamesbarnes 2013-06-26 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I've already tried some of that, just not in public.

[It's pretty much impossible to pitch his voice so only Natasha hears. He's not sure what to make of this - he's never really been a stickler for the rules when it was more fun to break 'em, but the aggressive public grinding is a little much to get used to right away.]

Beer. I think I'll ease into it, if it's all the same to you two.

Well, great. We'll just do some more of that. Just with our clothes on this time.

[She's teasing him, and she does know exactly how low to pitch her voice so only he'll hear her, turning her head a moment to brush her lips against his ear to murmur the reply before she plays it off as if nothing happened, grinning at Jack and looping her arm through his. She's more than happy to have bilateral man-candy. Who wouldn't be?]

Beer sounds like a good place to start then.
jamesbarnes: (that so?)

[Bucky just gives her a look. Between her and Jack commenting on the makeup, he's already a little flushed.]

Alcohol doesn't make you more daring, just less coordinated, and you promised me some swing, buddy. Don't think I'll forget.
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Smile)

[She just smiles unrepentantly at the look Bucky gives her, happily tucked between the pair of them.] See? He agrees with me. And you thought I was crazy for suggesting it. So little faith you have in me. [She tsk'd her tongue chidingly, her green eyes bright with humor.]

Wait, there's going to be swing?
