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! ]

It seems nice, and the decorations are very pretty... [Though she's somewhat distancing herself from it, feeling more like an observer than a participant so far.]

I guess the Queen is capable of nice things too.

She always has been. She's just not very consistent about it.

[The music's taking a turn for the slower and more romantic, and Amamiya's attention perks up, and tugs at Homura's sleeve.]

Hey, want to dance?
heartovertime: (Confused ♦ I don't eve)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-07-18 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[The question catches her by surprise.] D-Dance?

...I don't know how to do that kind of thing...
gentlecuteside: (Default)

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-07-18 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really, either, but there's no time like the present to learn.

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-07-18 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
M-Maybe someone would be willing to teach you...

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-07-18 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Amamiya just pulls her towards the dance floor. She wants to dance now.]

Oh, let's just do it!
heartovertime: (Uncertain ♦ How do I get out of thi)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-07-18 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? [She comes along out of not wanting to offend the girl, though not without confusion. Why pick her?]
gentlecuteside: (normal | poolside)

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-07-18 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[The answer is really 'because you were there', Homura. Amamiya spins around on the dance floor to face her. Her right hand lay on Homura's waist, while her left reached out to take Homura's left hand in it.]
heartovertime: (Mami ♦ Close encounter)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-07-18 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[And Homura looks even more uncertain as the girl takes ahold of her. She doesn't know what to do really, and watches her partner for cues.]
gentlecuteside: (normal | looking down)

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-07-18 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Amamiya takes quickly moves Homura's hand up to her shoulder - she knows that much at least. Her hand then returns to the other girl's waist.]

Like that, I'm pretty sure.
heartovertime: (Default)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-07-18 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see... [Unsure of what real she could even say, she keeps her hand where placed and falls silent again.]
gentlecuteside: (normal | poolside)

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-07-18 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Amamiya's pretty unsure what to do now, too. Looking around at the other couples, she follows their lead and starts sort of shuffling around in a circle, moving in time with the mus--oh she just stepped on your toe.]
heartovertime: (Crash ♦ Not as easy as it seems..)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-07-18 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Homura winces slightly at that, particularly having open-toe sandals, but fortunately her Soul Gem dampens the pain a bit.

But shortly after, she (unintentionally) repays Sakurako in kind.]
S-Sorry...

[Amamiya winces as Homura steps on her toes as well. This really wasn't going very well.]

Sorry...wow, we're not very good at this, are we?
heartovertime: (Uncertain ♦ What can I do)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-07-19 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry...I've never tried this before...

[She tries shuffling her feet more to avoid picking them up too far.]
gentlecuteside: (normal | i'm a bit fucking crazy~)

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-07-23 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Here, stop for a second.

We need to move in time, I think. That way, we're both moving at the time time, right?
heartovertime: (Default)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-07-23 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[She does so.]

I guess... Will you lead us? [It is lead, right? She's heard something like that before in movies...but she's not sure what exactly it entails.]
gentlecuteside: (normal | i'm a bit fucking crazy~)

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-07-24 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll...I'll do my best.

[She takes a deep breath to steady herself. Then she counts out loud:]

One, two, three four...

[Okay moving now in what she thinks is something like the right tempo.]
heartovertime: (Default)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-07-29 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, it seems close enough... and even if they're off from the music, it's more important they're in sync. She steps along, matching her partner as best as she can, trying to learn as best as she can. This kind of skill...maybe it would be useful someday.]
gentlecuteside: (normal | ice queen of swords)

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-08-03 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, there we go. Amamiya starts to relax a little, her tense arms loosening as she falls into a groove.]

There, that's better, isn't it?
heartovertime: (Default)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-08-04 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
I think so... [Maybe this wouldn't be so hard to learn after all...]
gentlecuteside: (Default)

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-08-05 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
See, this is sort of nice, isn't it? Once you stop being nervous.
heartovertime: (Default)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-08-08 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...kind of...

...Did you want to learn this for some kind of reason, Amamiya-san?
gentlecuteside: (normal | i'm a bit fucking crazy~)

[personal profile] gentlecuteside 2011-08-09 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I...

[She trails off for a moment, her brown furrowing as she thought about it. Why WAS she so interested on doing this? She's thinking so hard about it that she steps on Homura's toes and doesn't even notice.]

I...don't know. It just seemed like the thing to do.
heartovertime: (Fear ♦ Eyes clenched shu)

[personal profile] heartovertime 2011-08-14 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Homura tries not to wince too much, though she wasn't expecting another misstep after how things had been going.]

I-I see...
