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! ]

[Vivio giggled at that.]

Really? Lots of people keep saying that to me!

It's just because its true. I bet you're going to look gorgeous when you grow up. I mean, just seeing you in your transformed older state really distracted me. I bet you'll be an absolute bombshell by your twenties.

Um... thanks?

[Yeah, she's not really sure how she's supposed to react to that, to be honest.]

Oh my god what am I saying? I'm not sure what's going on. I can't seem to stop myself from saying embarrassing things.

Oh, don't worry about it, it's okay!

[Okay, apparently the answer was go back to her normal cheerful self.]

That makes me feel better, Vivio. [Zenobia is a little worried about what she might say to her next. Maybe if she changes the topic...]

Gabrielle introduced me to think wonderful dessert called cheesecake. Have you ever had any?

[identity profile] uberlikehermama.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I have. It's pretty good! And there are lots of different kinds too!

[identity profile] restlessdevil.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHEESECAKE?

[identity profile] uberlikehermama.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
... Umm, yeah. Some times they have chocolate added, other times there are strawberry flavoring. I though I saw some of them here...

[identity profile] restlessdevil.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, I have to try them! Um, one moment!

[She turns around for a moment and returns with tiny slices of all different desserts, several of them being cheesecake.]

I better be careful, though. I could get a tummy ache if I eat too much.

[identity profile] uberlikehermama.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and that definitely wouldn't be good.

At least you chose the little slices though, right?

[identity profile] restlessdevil.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured that with little slices, I can try more new things since I'll be eating less.

[identity profile] uberlikehermama.livejournal.com 2011-07-21 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that was definitely a good idea!
