Entry tags:

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! ]

Oh, I prefer, uh, battle and incidents and the like, but it's just traditional to have some sort of grand party after it.

Just wish the queen would hold better incidents. Hers suck. No effort behind them at all.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm assuming you mean "incident" as some kind of... fight or disaster?

I think she puts in a lot of effort, just... not toward the kind of outcome you want.

Sorry that her canon is messed up like this. ^^;

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, pretty much. For example me threatening Gensokyo with a gargantuan earthquake and weather changes. That's an incident. It caused nearly everyone to try to stop me, and after that was done and I beat up the stronger ones after the whole stopping me part, we had a big party and had some tea. It's customary!

Well, yes, but it's still all messed up. Those phantom things were just stupid.

I'm sorry I think you misspelt "awesome."

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess you're going to have to make your own incidents. Unless there's some kind of mating ritual involved, I really don't think Her Highness is going to cater to your, um, interests.

I don't actually think she planned that one. Well, assuming she's not an extremely good actress.

Re: I'm sorry I think you misspelt "awesome."

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...I really should look into doing that. Probably could show her how it's done. Can just tell her it'll have a mating ritual later that never comes, he he...

Well, I didn't really listen to what she said, I admit.

[That wasn't a lie. She didn't really have that much interest in the queen by now. Sad.]

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm not sure I'd appreciate you encouraging her to have us ALL fight, but I know a lot of people here are itching for a throwdown, so... at least you'll have some company if you set it up on your own.

I think the extent of her planning was "Something that will hurt people here and show them how bad they've been." It was pretty much a hissy fit.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess I wouldn't need EVERYONE. Just, well, the combatants. I never really was about bullying the weak too much, that'd be just crude.

As said, it's pretty weak. Just like the stuff Reimu usually pulls when she's angry and attacks everyone, even Kazumi. Just tantrums!

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems like it wouldn't get you what you want, anyway, since we tend to be wusses.

Wait, who? Someone's attacking people here?!

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That too. Getting a book thrown at me just isn't the same.

[Despite her being, technically, some sort of holy sage, Tenshi still failed to show humility...as usual]

Oh, Reimu sometimes is. She tends to attack everyone in her way when she suspects something going on. It does work at home, where she's the shrine maiden, but here not so. She nearly blasted Kazumi once!

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, um, what does she look like so I'll know to avoid her? I definitely don't want to get, uh, blasted.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Short, flat-chested, long-ish black hair, red clothes, red ribbon in her hair, always cranky, except when you donate to her.

If she thinks you're a demon she'll attack you if she thinks trouble is afoot, so if you don't do anything that makes her think so, you're probably fine mostly.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...noted. Though I'm not really sure how to make myself seem less demonic.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhm, I guess you can just act normally, that'll probably do it.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'll keep doing what I'm doing, then, and hope I look non-demonic enough to satisfy her.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly, just tell her to fight me instead if she goes bad on you, tell her whatever she's angry about was my fault, she should storm off quickly to get me. She's quite angry at me for many reasons, after all.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah, all right. "It's Tenshi's fault," huh? Think I should extend that to anyone else that goes after me? [She's probably kidding. Then again, Tenshi might be down with that.]

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Please do! I wouldn't mind getting a random person after me for some imagined sillyness! I could totally handle it.

[Yes. Tenshi was... Of course, she might not be able to handle anything, obviously, but she was the last person who'd admit that of themselves.]

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep that as a "Get out of trouble free" card, then. Thanks. That is, um, nice doing business with you, I guess.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome, although I think I got the better end of the bargain with that.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there's been an equal exchange, really: I don't get pummeled, you do, everyone's happy. Except maybe the person doing the pummelling.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Good point. But I guess such a person doesn't need to be too happy.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...because then they're less likely to do pummelling?

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! You understood it just right!

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[She almost-smiles.] I think I'm starting to get the hang of you, yeah.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good to hear. Well, remember to call me.

...come to think of it, I think I offered you similar aid earlier, I think. Huh. Just as well. Or was that just offering some aid to her defense structure? I really forgot...
