PARTY PARTY PARTY

[decommission]

CHARACTERS: Everyone!
WHERE: The streets of Concordia
WHEN: Dusk til just before dawn on DAY 040
SUMMARY: IT'S A PARADE
WARNINGS: Add them to your top levels as necessary etc etc


As from the calendar:

Confetti! It's a parade! The annual Arista Parade, to be precise. Nominally a part of Aristana, the celebration of the ribbons of life, it's a holiday who's origins are nearly forgotten. Nowadays it's a big, raucous celebration pretty dedicated much entirely to drinking and partying. Almost all those in attendance will be wearing ribbons tied around their hair, their wrists, off of their belts and the edges of their sleeves. Pull one off, and you will be rewarded with a kiss - on the cheek, usually. The parade itself showcases a number of performers, costumes, and moving art pieces. It's route covers a number of the main streets of town (which will be closed, sorry traffic), and it lasts from dusk till nearly dawn on DAY :040. Have fun, if it's your kind of scene.

From the mods:

No notable NPCs are present at the parade - at least not in any official capacity. However if anyone wants to interact with a Concordian native, feel free to make up/interact with any randos you feel like!

Feel free to use this log for all of your parade day activities!

but he's a wrecking ball

[unsea]

[ Fighting in a controlled setting ( which, this is DEFINITELY not one ) is a great thing. There's no improving without practice, and it's only because the Darkling has countless years of combat under his belt that he walks away from an ill-timed swing and makes it look effortless. Add in a hissed threat while he had the guy on the ropes, and of course he'll walk away! ]

Never kissed a young lady, have you?

[ CONFIRM/DENY!!!!!! ]

oh my god

[headinjuries]

Actually, I have.

[ ...one girl. ]

[unsea]

[ one girl besides that one or was she the one girl

wow that sentence ]

Well, don't let me stop you from becoming quite the heartbreaker.

[ he's just having fun with you now kiddo and also: go learn from steve rogers he's a real cassanova ]

[headinjuries]

[ He had a girlfriend back home!!1 At least until canon forgot she existed.

face. in. hands. ]

Don't you guys all have something better to do than watch.

[unsea]

[ :( why does canon want small biscuit boys to suffer like this ]

At an event like this? Celebrating life, lasciviousness and drink? Not at all.

[ Speaking of drink, someone's world doesn't have laws about "legal drinking age"




which means he just offered sam a cup of something boozy. no offense taken if he refuses!! ]

[headinjuries]

[ He eyes the cup, but given the mention of drink (with a capital D, probably) and the fact that he's run into a lot of stealth booze tonight (or maybe it's not stealth so much as such an assumed thing that the natives don't see a point in warning anybody), he's got a feeling. ]

What's in it?

[unsea]

They call it a "bag of tricks."

[ It's 100% booze: cognac with raspberry flavoring. He holds it out, like it's a peace offering. ]

It's alcohol. [ As suspected. At least he's up front! ] You needn't accept if you don't want it, it's all right.

[headinjuries]

Yeah, I'll pass.

[ He does, at least, manage to keep the refusal completely casual on the surface, even if there's a wave of aw hell no running through his thoughts. ]
