My blood starts pumping as I drain my cup

It is clear and balmy in the Gardens when Wednesday evening rolls around. The northern solstice, Spring burgeoning into Summer, but it is always beautiful here, except when the Queen loses her temper or makes another rash decision. There are insects singing in the trees, and all the paths that head to the beach seem to have been lined with flowers and torches, leading the way down to the waterfront. From what looks like a severed ships mast, a pirate flag dances in the breeze at the center of the area, beckoning visitors.

The scene is set, a wide swatch of beach ringed with flickering wooden torches, music being played by a skeleton crew, the rest of their shipmates standing at attention, waiting to serve and to dance. They rattle and smile, and although it does not seem they can speak, they can most certainly laugh. It looks like a party. It just needs a few partygoers to liven things up. The inflatible sea monsters waiting on the sand aren't having much fun on their own. Some of the other decorations are a bit more questionable, fetishes of bones and feathers and beads.

But there are drinks, if you need some help loosening up. Each of the glasses grins like a jolly skull. Maybe you don't have much choice about drinking, everything's spiked and it smells like some of the food was cooked in alcohol as well. There is a great bubbling cauldron of stew churning over an open flame and set up down the center of a long string of wooden tables there's a great bounty to be had. Seafood of all kind: tentacled and shelled and exotic. Perhaps something you've missed from home? Some still bear their head and eyes, appendages stirring fitfully. Freshest is best, of course. Maybe you should toss your favorites into the pot.

At the very end of the arrangement, there's a number of desserts, the dishware all gleaming gold, but dented terribly from years of abuse. The largest of which is a fluffy white-frosted cake. Don't worry, there's plenty of booze in the batter. Below are bowls of candied figs, orange slices, puddings, sticky treats filled with nuts and honey, chocolate and rum bonbons, marshmallows to be roasted. Don't hold back.

When you're through - (or along the way?) - there are plenty of amusements besides dancing and small talk. A row of large wooden dartboards, sets of knives as well as a sign outlinging scoring and challenges (Why don't you close your eyes and throw over your shoulder? Maybe you should challenge someone to mubletypeg instead.) There's a sturdy pinata to be bashed open, a row of coals in the sand to be braved by novice firewalkers. Perhaps you could convince someone into that dunking booth?

[[ooc; Please enjoy and feel free to be creative about what accouterments might go along with a pirate themed bash, we really don't mind. Skeletons will be milling about to serve/etc, and all games/etc have hand-painted signs with instructions.]]

Haha, okay, okay... [Yeah just going. Cling closely and let Akira walk her wherever.]

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-22 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
-She ends up carrying her part of the way. It was just easier. Eventually she sits her down on a bench.-

Take it easy, okay?
starofpleiades: (Hug!)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-22 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Kazumi has no complaints at all and snuggles against her while it happens, reluctantly letting go when they get to the bench.]

Heheh, okay... sorry I couldn't dance with you.
drinkswithminors: (shoujo bubbles)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-22 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Always next time, sweetheart.
starofpleiades: (Are You Sure?)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-22 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. Maybe if I just sit for a bit... [Well, even sitting she's still kind of swaying]
drinkswithminors: (fishlips)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-23 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I think you should sit down for more than just a bit.
starofpleiades: (Earmuff Smile)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-23 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Ooookay... [She smiles though and pats the bench beside her. SHE'S NOT SITTING ALONE, BY GOSH. And of course immediately glomming onto her once she does.]
drinkswithminors: (obligatory)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-23 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
-Drunk sitting it is, then.-

Ah, I guess this is as good as a dance.
starofpleiades: (Between Friends)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-24 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hmhm, you think so?

[All the cuddling. Which at least involves smooshing her face to Akira's arm and thankfully not her chest. Yet.]
drinkswithminors: (honest feelings)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-24 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
I get a moment to be close and personal with you, regardless.
starofpleiades: (Heart Ahoge)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-24 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ehehe... it is nice like this... [Yeah she is just. Making herself comfy and trying not to lean over too much and fall over. Even if it's probably inevitable.]
drinkswithminors: (shoujo bubbles)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-24 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
It is... -Akira lifted a hand to brush some of the girl's hair behind her ear.- You are super cute right now, sweetness.
starofpleiades: (Earrings)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-24 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... [She looks up to meet Akira's gaze, cheeks flushed] And you look, um, really... dashing...
drinkswithminors: (honest feelings)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-24 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Even in a bikini? Hard to look dashing in that.
starofpleiades: (Saki Earrings)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-24 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe...well, that's just how dashing you are! Even a bikini can't stop it.
drinkswithminors: (sup hideaki)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-24 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
No kidding, huh? You know how to make a gal feel special, sweetness.
starofpleiades: (My Magic)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-26 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Heheh, aw shucks, no... [Flusterblush again] You're the one who's been making feel special the whole time... it's really nice.

[Leaning...face...closer...]
drinkswithminors: (shoujo bubbles)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-26 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
A girl like you deserves it...

-And just like that, her lips pressed to Kazumi's, a tender and sweet kiss to show her just how special she was.-
starofpleiades: (Heart Ahoge)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-26 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[And Kazumi freezes in shock... for about a fraction of a second before melting into and kissing back, sweet and innocently. Her face was red and an irrepressible smile on her lips when she pulled back, feeling tingly and lightheaded from more than just the alcohol.]

Ah, mm, ehehehe...
drinkswithminors: (sup hideaki)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-26 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
See? Just as good as a dance. It ends the same way.
starofpleiades: (Flower Ahoge)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-26 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
Heheh, really? I'll have to dance with you more often!
drinkswithminors: (E'RYBODY HAPPY)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-26 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll see once you move in.
starofpleiades: (Heart Ahoge)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-06-27 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! You're the best, Akira~

[Hugs, all the hugs]
drinkswithminors: (sup hideaki)

[personal profile] drinkswithminors 2012-06-27 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
-Best hugs.-
