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!]

Absolutely.

[His hands tighten briefly on her hips, reflexive, and he laughs softly.] Getting the hang of it isn't exactly what I was worried about.
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Grin)

[She slides against him with a smirk, her hands coming to rest against his chest as she dances with him, still reveling in the bone-deep throb of the music.]

So what were you worried about?

[He can feel the heat of her palms through his shirt, and he rolls his hips against hers in answer to her question.]

So is there a convenient cold shower near by, or do I just have to go for a swim?

widows_kiss: serious, curious (Bemused)

[She laughs, her expression coy as she gives him a knowing smirk and slides back against him teasingly.]

Skinny dipping on the Summer Solstice?
jamesbarnes: (not smirking at all)

[personal profile] jamesbarnes 2013-07-01 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you'd like that.
widows_kiss: serious, curious (OOC 001)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-07-01 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Who wouldn't? [She grins, green eyes bright as she dances closer again, sliding against him, movements guided by the beat of the music.]

Does that mean I should let you go cool off already?
jamesbarnes: (kiss)

[personal profile] jamesbarnes 2013-07-01 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
As if you would. [He moves in counterpoint, letting the beat and the rhythm of their bodies carry him. He can see the appeal of just losing himself in the base pounding harder than his pulse.

He leans in to steal a kiss while she's so close, slow and easy.]
Don't worry, I can handle you, Romanoff.
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Secret Smile)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-07-02 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. I could always come and give you a hand.

[She smirks against his lips as she dances with him, happy to indulge him in a slow kiss.]

You think so, do you?
jamesbarnes: (not smirking at all)

[personal profile] jamesbarnes 2013-07-03 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe later.

[He tilts his head forward when they come apart, touching the tips of their noses together.]

Well, I think you might be soft on me, so I've got an advantage over the other chumps.
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Smile)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-07-03 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I might have a tiny soft spot for you, I suppose.

[There's a teasing light in her eyes as she holds his gaze, her hands sliding up his chest to twine her arms about his neck, fingers playing lightly through the hair at the nape of of his neck.]

It's probably the eyeliner's fault.
