these long summer days

Characters: Any of the characters participating in the party.
Date: Backdated to July 15th.
Summary: To apologize for the incident with the phantoms, the Queen puts together a party for all the inhabitants of the Gardens.
Warnings: IT IS A PARTY what could go wrong. (But just in case, if something occurs in your thread, please let the mods know and we will update this.)

For some days now, denizens of the Gardens may have been wondering what it is the Queen had in store for them after the phantoms had finally dispersed. Perhaps they may have been aware of the sound of hammering and construction that seemed to float on the air from no specific direction. Today, however, the sounds seem to have mysteriously ceased, and at some point, each of the girls and women will receive an invitation, written on pale yellow paper in deep pink ink that seems to shimmer slightly with certain angles of light:

You are cordially invited
to the Summer Festival!

Where: The Crimson Pavilion, near the northwestern edge of the Gardens
When: The 15th July

Please enjoy the food, drinks, and music!
And, of course, the company of friends.
I do hope you won't be disappointed!


Love ♥
The Queen of Hearts


Asking the cats for directions, or simply heading toward the northwest of the Gardens by oneself, will eventually lead one to the aforementioned Crimson Pavilion — an enormous outdoor party tent, similar to the Viridian Pavilion in scope and size. The Pavilion is strewn with drapes of crimson gauze that shade its interior slightly from the sun, and delicate flower-shaped lights wind around each of the tent poles, producing a faint, sparkling luminance. Colorful flowers are strewn across every available surface, and a sourceless music floats on the air, an upbeat melody seemingly designed to compel one to dance. And all over the tables are food and drinks in every variety one could possibly imagine, though the overarching flavors and themes seem to remind one of summer days and tropical islands.

The drinks, especially, are very good — though perhaps one should be a little careful. There is, as they say, too much of a good thing.


[ Notes: The drinks, as one might expect, have a few side effects:

Pineapple juice compels characters who drink it to feel as if they cannot help but be honest about their feelings toward other characters. If your character has a crush on another character, or has fallen in love with her, she may not be able to resist the desire to confess her attraction.

Orange juice creates feelings of happiness and contentment. This can range from an unnaturally strong sense of giddy joy to a more calm, relaxed state of well-being. And, of course, your character may be compelled to share her feelings with others.

Fruit punch induces a desire for intimacy, whether that be holding hands or cuddling to making out and more adult activities for adult characters.

Of course, there might be other drinks with other effects, as well, and the drinks may be mixed to create multiple effects. There are also drinks that are just drinks without any special properties.

Have fun! ]

[Sayaka arrived in due time. She had asked for directions soon after the note showed up and went straight for the place. She was mighty suspicious though, as the last time a party of sorts happened, an invasion happened. So she's keeping her eyes peeled for any more secret entrances.

Too bad she's suspicious of the wrong thing entirely.]

[Hikari's walking around in her dress, kind of weary as well, but more in the nervous not looking anywhere sense. When she spots Sayaka, she smiles hesitantly, and waves a hand in greeting.]

Hello, Sayaka-san.

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Out of the corner of her eye, she spots the fellow girl.]

Ah, Hikari. You been here long?

[identity profile] orderlybento.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Responding to the question, she shakes her head.]

Mm, no. I got here a couple of minutes ago. How are you?

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, fine. Just... looking around. Want to make sure we won't have a repeat of what happened last time.

[identity profile] orderlybento.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... That wouldn't be good at all.

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
So, if you see anything like that, mind telling me?

[identity profile] orderlybento.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I'll definitely tell you if I see something suspicious.

As long as it's not someone else from here.

[Jolyne wanders over, a bottle of beer in hand.]

You look stressed, kid.

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
On the look out for anything that may lead to robot invasion version two.
soapscent: (jojo pose)

[Jolyne takes a swig of the beer.]

Y'know, they do say lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place. You should relax.

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[A sigh]

I'm just... a bit paranoid. That was pretty much the first big thing that happened here for me, so it sticks out.
soapscent: (blue)

[personal profile] soapscent 2011-07-18 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, just take a deep breath. My gut's saying nothing's wrong, and my gut's usually pretty reliable.

[She extends the bottle to Sayaka]

Here, have a--

[She pulls the bottle back as she remembers how young the other girl is.]

Aaaaaactually, on second thought, that's probably a bad idea.

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[And that gets a light chuckle.]

And just how much of that have you had?
soapscent: (volunteer)

[personal profile] soapscent 2011-07-18 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm just a little buzzed. It's just my old party habits. Forgot you were just a kid for a second.

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
What part about me says otherwise?

[Kyoko had arrived a bit late, and was meandering about with a glass of pineapple juice. Too lazy and poor to get a new dress, she'd just come in her puella magi dress; it was classy enough, right? Upon spotting Sayaka, she grinned and waved, making a beeline for the other girl]

Hey, Sayaka!

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
... Am I the only who wouldn't think of that?

[Despite her... "oh COME ON" reaction, she waves back.]

I'm surprised, I thought you'd be hungrier.

[identity profile] stayedwithher.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well what else would I wear?

[she grins at that]

Nah, I already hit the refreshment table.

[And she'll surely hit it again.]

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
I... well, now I wonder what you'd wear if you had choices.

[She responds with a flat look.]

You went straight for it, huh?

[identity profile] stayedwithher.livejournal.com 2011-07-25 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm...I'm not sure, actually.

[she grins in response]

Of course I did. Did you try the strawberry kiwi tarts? They're delicious!

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-25 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Well, either way, you're cheerful.

I... haven't had much. Been busy.

[identity profile] stayedwithher.livejournal.com 2011-07-30 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
This is a pretty nice party and nothing"s pissed me off yet, so sure I am!

Oh man you have to go try something.

[identity profile] tookupthesword.livejournal.com 2011-07-30 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Somehow what you just said feels wrong to hear...

I just said I've been busy!
