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! ]

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...

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll just keep you in mind generally as a knight in shining armor. Or meatshield. Whichever.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Neither, actually. Holy person on a floating rock. Suits me better.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I keep forgetting that I need to be more literal around you.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really - I just prefer that one. Celestial stomps knight after all. I could demonstrate, if there was a knight around.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure there's at least one around here. There's plenty of people toting swords, at least. [That's what knights do, right? Carry swords around?]

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
There ARE a couple of them with swords, that's true. I just don't see them around much, to be honest. And those I do see don't seem too knightly to me.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
What does being knightly entail, then?

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I think protecting ones honor and things like that. At least I heard it does. There aren't any knights in Bhava-Agra, after all. They don't tend to manage enlightenment.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... [Someone does come to mind, but... she doesn't think throwing Tenshi at Sephiroth would be a great plan.]

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? Did you think of someone?

[Sephiroth could probably ignore her trolling easily, though. At least she seemed that way XD]

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure? I, uh, don't know if it'd work out, really.

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Well, that's okay. If you think of someone who would work, I'm all ears. Well, when you do, I mean.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep an eye out for any knightly ladies who look like they might be a challenge. I know it's rare, but surely one will have to show up soon, right?
