closedish to cool guys having chill day
Who: a bunch of funky friends invited by Viktor and Palamedes*
What: Having a Party in a field with Fireworks
When: the second week-ish in May
Where: (the field outside of) Pal and Viktor's bunker in Gaze
Content Warnings: alcohol and teens drinking it, irresponsible use of explosives, see threads for anything else that comes up
*If you have friendly CR with Palamedes please feel free to handwave that he mentioned this happening, also if your character has CR with a Pal Friend (a pal^2) who would invite them along, he's broadly allowing this. It's not a formal affair in the slightest lmaooo

afternoon/evening.
Earlier in the morning on the day of The Fireworks Field Party (tm), Palamedes makes sure to send a quick location ping to anyone who's never been to the Sixth bunker (also tm) before, because it is, indeed, just in a field somewhere in Gaze. The treeline is comfortably distant from the door to said bunker, which is the only real indication anything is out here besides a few "big rocks" that he names, in his message, as landmarks.
As an afterthought, he has set up a little trail of mason jars containing glowing mushrooms to lead the way to The Field, helpfully. The Field is what it sounds like: a dang field, just slightly ominous in the Gaze fashion, although besides the usual somebody's-watching feeling, it's grassy and spacious for kitschy lawn games. Among the things Palamedes has provided (upon recommendation of a shopkeeper, so like, do not perceive his choices, they were made for him) include:
1. Just a load of blankets, big cozy ones dutifully spread out for chilling on, on the ground.
2. Throwing game Crossbones, definitely chosen because of the bones (they are wooden sticks), and just kind of left sitting there waiting because your host does not know how to play physical games.
3. beanbag horseshoes because it rocks
4. Just, like, a specific blanket that has pencils and blank paper sitting on it... This is a free station, no one will question what art happens here.
Harrow has also provided bone chairs for alternate seating, which are precisely what they sound like.
Eventually, the field will also feature a snack table, which is a community effort, and a booze table, which is slightly supervised in the way that your esteemed host(s) will not permit booze and cherry bombs at the same time.
And, because it's an open field in Trench, there is also a table where emergency incense is waiting. Wandering too far from the space immediately around the bunker (which, it's a big space, you'd have to go far) will eventually lead you to blood wards on the ground, on the trunks of a few trees, etc. Don't touch these. Don't be gross.
the fucken fireworks.
It's fireworks. Once it's dark, there are even more glowing mushroom jars and homemade alchemy glowsticks from Waver to be passed around, somehow, and at least some of the little beanbags glow in the dark, ooh!! Viktor has provided cherry bombs to be used with at least a little caution, for god's sake. There are also some slightly larger fireworks in much shorter supply, from a shop, that will be closely guarded until someone with pyrotechnics talent convinces Palamedes they deserve one. Godspeed.
Broadly: this is a fireworks party (tm) for individual wee ones you can throw around on your own, with only a brief smattering of the big ones that light up the whole sky above the field. It's a chill time for cool buds, fire safety is encouraged, so is vibing on the blankets and enjoying a nice evening.
At various times, local dope musician Anna Amarande will be providing some light musical entertainment, for vibes.
the bunker i guess.
The party is not in here, but for reference:
-it's locked via numpad and neither of these stickbug nerds are giving out the code but they'll open the door if asked... you don't have to leave the place to go to the bathroom lmf
-it's a bunker. it's one room and a bathroom in the back. it's full of disorganized nerd stuff and an oversized moon orb and pal's mean omen, rocky the cool rat (harpy eagle), who will aggressively flap at anyone with sticky fingers until they leave
-the code is 69420 so if you're super funny like gideon you COULD guess it

and he is here to RETURN IT IN KIND!! because that's what he does lol
He blinks again for a moment, before smiling broadly. Considering that, and her, for a moment. ]
...do you want to play? [ It's said kindly, pale grey eyes brightening as he regards her. ]
I can show you how if you want. [ He folds his hands in his lap; one looking normally human enough, the other a scarlet red and plated like something distinctly inhuman, though his sleeves hide a lot. ] You don't have to be amazing at it to have a lot of fun.
no subject
[ Chizuru stares at him as if Allen suddenly grew a second head. Or, perhaps, like he has a very, very odd demon-like arm, though honestly, it's not even the latter that Chizuru is noticing here. She's slowly growing used to not everyone exactly being fully human in this place - after all, she herself is like that too, even though it doesn't really show with her.
No, the look of surprise and shock she gives him is entirely because of what Allen is saying here. ]
W-Well..!
[ Look at her squeaking. It's like he just asked her to jump straight into a shark-infested pool. ]
Wouldn't I.. look kind of ridiculous next to you though? Um, you know, since you're so good.. [ And Chizuru doesn't figure she will be very amazing at it. What if someone might laugh at her? ]
no subject
Not at all. ♥ [ He'll make sure she doesn't look ridiculous. Namely because: ]
I'm going to be your coach cheering you on, after all. [ It's warmly radiant and said so easily. How could you say no when he acts like it's such a very normal sort of thing?
Also, he'll beat up anyone who laughs at her. ]
What's your name? I'm Allen.
no subject
.. or, well, other than to that last part. That part gets a very instinctive and quick bow from her. ]
C-Chizuru! My name is Chizuru, it's very nice to meet you..! [ She lingers in it for a moment before she uprights herself once more. ]
And it's.. [ She's still having difficulty finding words in the face of the rest of what he's saying, but it's not like she can just not address it when he's being so nice. ] It's so kind of you to offer up to share your talents with someone as new to this as I am.. Even if the result might not end up being very much, I promise to do my best..!
no subject
Well, he still does that a little. But he smiles up at her reaching out to pat the edge of her sleeve lightly in a reassuring manner. Or the side of her arm, if she's sleeveless. Pat-pat. ]
I think it's more about the result being fun, right?
[ He gives a small hum, maybe a little bit teasing in a good-natured way. ]
It's nice to meet you too, miss Chizuru. [ And he smiles a touch more gently at that, warmly, and hands her one of the throwing bean bags. ]
Was this the game you wanted to try? We could do the crossbones one too, if you like.
no subject
No, I'm fine with trying this one..
[ Especially since it's also a little bit less macabre than the crossbones one. Even though Chizuru assu.. mes.. that those aren't real bones, she still feels a little bit more awkward about using those for a game than these bean bags..
Even if it doesn't take away the problem that she doesn't think she'll be very good at it regardless. But how could she not try in the light of Allen's gentle guidance? It's like that pat at her sleeve just roots her right in place. ]
Is throwing it all you have to do..? You just have to throw it as far as you can? [ Or in Allen's case just now - far out of the park. To the moon, basically. ]
