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

Darkblood powers. And a little help from my AT Field.

[The flame remains in his hands as though contained within an invisible jar. Which isn't far off, as his Darkblood allows for him to warp the world around him, creating pockets of space just like the one that holds the flame.

As if for show, he changes the sparkler space, watching how the flame warp when there's no gravity.]

AT Field? [darkblood tracks, and viktor leans in a little, making notes in his head about how this for future darkblood gem work.

useful, and also fucking cool.]
... I can safely say this is the most interesting use of my sparklers I have seen yet.

The manifestation of my soul. It protects me from harm.

[He brings gravity back to the sparkler so it once again showers light. He raises it up in his hands towards the sky, observing it against the dark sky.]

I wanted to see if I could do things with them other than just hold them.

I admit I've never heard of an ability like that. It goes beyond the scope of magics I've learned of. [using the soul that way seems... dangerous? if he's being honest. but then again who knows what a 'soul' even is in this context.]

Oh, I am Viktor. I suppose you would be a friend of Palamedes? [he always forgets to introduce himself. and this does look like a potential teen from the teen gaggle pal mentioned.]

It's not magic. It's something I can do because of what I am.

[He used to find it fun to leave that hanging to see what people ask next. But this time, it's because he's still distracted by the sparkler, watching the last few sparkles glimmer then fade.]

Yes. We met on the beach months ago. Paul is fond of him. Gideon and Harrow are too. [A beat.] I wasn't sure if he'd really throw a party.

[well that's curious. viktor's spoken to some people who seemingly have genetic abilities, but the way it's worded has him asking,] I apologize if this is rude to ask, but what would you say you are then?

[is it rude ask a guy what he even is? probably. being blunt and curious is a curse sort of.]

In my experience with Palamedes there's very little he wouldn't do if he thought it would be beneficial to his circle. [he cares about people. shockingly viktor likes that about him a lot.] In this case giving everyone a break, if only for an evening.

A being called an "Angel". Though my soul has put into a human form, I still retain some abilities afforded to me by nature of my soul.

[He looks around, trying to find more sparklers. He probably has to ask Pal... but the subject of parties, he looks back at Viktor.]

I threw a party a month ago. I wanted something similar... to ease what was weighing on people.

[The Leviathan fight, of course. He leaves it unsaid.]

[there are sparklers sticking out of viktor's bag, go for it. especially if there are more cool tricks.

but he tilts his head, curious about 'angel.' no bibles in his world, he probably just understands angel in a very basic, winged powerful being sense.]
I see. So you are a being put into a human form, then put into a squid form. That must be a tad complicated.

Ah, so you are the one who suggested it. I hope it has filled a similar function so far.

I don’t remember being put into human form but… I know it’s not the form my soul was supposed to take. But that is the interesting thing about souls-they can be more malleable than you might think.

[He takes the sparklers!!]

I think so. These things are nice but the feelings they bring can be fleeting. So it’s important to keep invoking them.
