Open: In a shout of joy at the only shrine where you come benighted and leave benign

Dark has come and gone again, which means it’s time to party.

In some ways the party is very similar to last year’s - same large banquet room in the mansion, a similarly large abundance of food and drink, and the promise of a night full of letting loose for everyone in attendance. It’s far from a direct clone of the previous party though. For starters, Dionysus has had Claudius help him in all of the planning (sometimes a god’s blessings come in the form of enrichment for one’s enclosure). They’ve gotten several of the mansion’s residents to agree to play live music during the night, and Dionysus was able to find some, ah, more widely appreciated CDs to play during the breaks between performers.

The room has been decorated to the nines again, but where last year he had green vines draping on the walls diffusing the glow from the twinkling fairy lights, this year he has strung up swooping vines of silver, glittering almost like tinsel. The large food tables have an almost ridiculous amount of things to munch on; there should be something for everyone there.

It should go without saying that the beverage tables are well-stocked, considering the host.

The festivities are starting a little earlier this year than last, out of respect for those who may or may not have earlier bedtimes. Come dressed in your finest, it’s a yearly tradition now!




Just as there was last year, there is to be an ‘after party’. If your character is part of the standard Orgy Invite Crew, they will have received another invitation to that half of the evening as well. Just like last year, this part of the event is to be handwaved, for obvious reasons.

"CROWLEY!!!" Sunny runs over and hugs his legs.

From absolutely anyone else she has ever met, Tress would probably doubt the complimentary nature of that compliment, but this is Gu Xiang, so it's somehow very flattering. "Thank you. I don't have anything nearly as evocative, but you absolutely look like one of the big delicate flowers that grow in the greenhouse."

"Ah! Yes! It would tell you how much of you is alcohol at any moment!"

Gu Xiang preens a little, angling her chin just so. As she raises her gaze again, she catches sight of the vine twined through Tress's hair, and her jaw drops. "Did you grow that with spores?"

Gaheris returns to her with the plate and holds it out awkwardly. She's so pretty. She's so pretty! "Here."

[personal profile] sporesprouter 2025-07-06 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
She nods, turning her head so Gu Xiang can get a better look at it. "I did! Do you like it?"

"No!" Gaheris yelps. If any of the girls at this party see any part of his body naked that isn't his head or his hands he will die instantly, Susan, isn't that obvious? "Thank you!"

Tress promptly sets her glass down again and takes the plate. "Thank you." She picks up a carrot slice and pops it in her mouth. "If you want any, I'm happy to share."

"But some may better bear the same ratio than others," says Laertes, plucking up a purple jello shot as he works through the problem in his head. "Lan Wangji, for example, can little bear the shock of liquor, although I doubt not he outstrips me for mass--and perhaps even thee, although he carries it differently."

"It's beautiful! Do these vines ever grow flowers? Or fruit?"

"Very well," gravely. "Then we needn't."

"Hi," says whoever it is, in a reserved and curiously sexless voice, not turning to look at him. The small metal sphere hovering at its shoulder, however, swivels in Benvolio's direction. "Which one are you?"

"Oh no! I'm unarmed!" Magnus says, immediately crumpling onto the floor in a heap.

"I hear you met Gaheris!" Magnus says, coming over. He promised that he wouldn't ask if she thinks he's, like, kissable, but that doesn't mean Magnus can't pry, right?

"It's not uncomfortable," SecUnit allows. (Actually it kind of likes the way the dress feels, like a hoodie that covers all of it at once, obscuring its human shape. Also the way the skirt moves.) "It's just going to be inconvenient if I have to move fast."

"Yeah!" says Gu Xiang, relieved to see Magnus looking completely normal amounts of handsome. It would be a disaster if he were somehow unbelievably attractive. "He's the wimpiest boy I've ever met and he'd die in three seconds on a battlefield, but he knows a lot about poetry."

"That's true. Acclimatization probably has some influence, but I'm sure there are other things. Maybe the makeup up of the body. People with drastically different shapes can weigh the same, after all. I wonder if anyone's already studied this."

"Constance," says Kade warmly, coming over with a glass of raspberry lemonade in hand. "I don't mean to sound forward, but I really would love to make you an outfit sometime."
