End of the Long Winter.

What: The entirety of Driftcrest and YOU! Even you new faces!
Where: The large park in the center of town.
When: From the 15th to the 18th
Warnings: Will warn as needed.

The people of Driftcrest have so much to celebrate. Their loved ones have been returned to them, and the Unseen are well and truly and genuinely gone. Not only that, but a Winter that had been going on for years is finally ended and it's well and truly Summer. Flowers are blooming, there's color in the town that wasn't there before. People are happy. They have their freedom back, and are taking full advantage of it.

Now that there's no longer a curfew, the party can go well into the night with music, dancing, food of all kinds all over the place both set on tables and in various food trucks.

With the hammocks hung up in the area, along with portable ones available to purchase, and twinkling string lights threaded through the trees, the setting is peaceful. A far cry from the stress of the last few weeks.

There's music, both live and recorded, and an outdoor dance floor has been set up under some beautiful hanging lanterns and twinkling string lights. Once the sun goes down, there'll be fires set up for people to sit by and make s'mores.

All in all, this promises to be a memorable experience.

Grab some food, buy a hammock, find somewhere to celebrate because this party will go on for a while.

Evie Grimhilde - OTA - first day of the party.

[personal profile] blueberryprincess 2021-04-15 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Of course Evie's at the party. She's feeling well enough to leave home, finally, so she's going to the celebration. She has people she wants to see, and a change of scenery in general. So she can be found a variety of places at the party.

While she's not feeling well enough to dance (which is a shame because she loves dancing), she's absolutely watching people on the dance floor, comfortably seated on one of the chairs just on the perimeter. She had food with her, too. One of the funnel cakes and a plain cheese pizza that she's eating slowly, smiling softly at how much joy was in the air.

Later on, she can be seen talking to one of the local children, asking for directions on how to make the most perfect s'more. Not that she hasn't, but this is a child and Evie does have a soft spot for children. So she's listening to this kid very carefully, nodding at every piece of expert advice she's given. Soon enough, she has her own s'more. It's sort of burnt, but the kid is telling her she did a great job and giving her a hug, and that's fine by Evie. She returns the gesture with a laugh, thanking the kid and moving on.

While she wasn't actively seeking out watching someone take on the Ghost Pepper Pizza challenge, she certainly was watching someone take it on. Every cringe they made, every wince or groan of pain and Evie's hands were up by the side of her face as she cringed and winced along with them. And while she didn't understand something like this, Evie was certainly hoping them the best. Come be absolutely horrified with her?

When it's late enough, Evie can be found sitting on one of the benches. She's a bit worn out. Still happy to be there, but needing time to sit and settle a bit. If you're someone she knows and you walk close enough, she'll wave to get your attentoin.

"How are you enjoying the party?" she asks, grinning from ear to ear.

Ghost Pepper Pizza

[personal profile] un_wir_greywaren 2021-04-16 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
"That's a waste of perfectly good pizza." Ronan is satisfied to eat his own veggie pizza without horrifically painful add-ons. He's also perfectly satisfied to watch someone be in pain and suffering from doing something very stupid. Adam and Gansey would love this.

He's on his third beer and nowhere close to being warm and fuzzy from it.

"Noah would love this." He took a drink. "You feeling okay?"

You know...from being nearly killed by the Unseen and returned from the frozen statue thing.

"Yes. Yes, it is. Even for the money, it's insane." Evie wouldn't do it. Not that she doesn't like spicy. She loves spicy food, but this just seemed a bit too much for her

She turns to look at Ronan and smiles. She's looking like her old self. Happier, even, for many a reason.

"I'm feeling fantastic, dear. Thank you for asking." Turning to look at the man suffering through the challenge, she cringes a bit and turns to look at Ronan again. She's unable to watch something so ridiculous, mostly because it's making her miss Jay and Carlos. They'd have been all over this challenge.

"How about you? How are you doing?"

"I'm fine." Ronan says it as naturally as anything. Simple, but somewhat lacking in emotion. Until he turns to look at Evie. She does look good, happy to be alive. "Gansey was really worried."

Gansey had blamed himself and Ronan had nothing to offer to help him or to save Evie. Nothing he could dream seemed to be capable of working on the Unseen and the victims. That reality alone had been turning circles in his head, but that wasn't the reason he was drinking in mock celebration.

"Have you tried all the food trucks?"

"What are they doing?" Mal asks curiously as she approaches Evie's side, watching her friend's reaction before glancing at the people nearby who are eating pizza. Tilting her head to the side, she watches for a moment before shrugging and turning to offer a cup to Evie.

"Here, I got us a couple of drinks," She offers with an easy smile. "The guy who was selling them said they're fruity but strong, so I don't really know what kind of fruit they put in it but it tastes good."

Because, oops, she hasn't clued in that 'strong' means there is alcohol in it.

"Suffering for money," Evie states, closing her eyes and turning her head away when it looks like the man eating the pizza might be on the verge of getting sick. Thankfully, he doesn't, but Evie's not fond of seeing people in pain.

She takes the drink from Mal and looks at it for a moment. "Strong how?"

Oh, these sweet summer children.

She takes a sip and shivers some. If he was talking about a strong flavor, it certainly had that. But Evie likes it, whatever it is.

"What did the vendor call it? It's delightful."

Mal wrinkles her nose as she watches the same man who is about to look sick and she turns her head a bit just in case but thankfully he manages to keep his food down. Whatever is happening doesn't sound appealing to her at all, not even for money.

"I don't know," She admits to her friend while taking another sip of her drink. The first sip had definitely packed a punch and it still did though it was getting easier with each one.

"I don't remember, something with an M. He said we can get it frozen too, like a slush." Which sounds appealing to her.

Evie takes another sip of her drink, enjoying it thoroughly. The kick it has is a bit much, but other than that, it's delicious.

"We'll have to try it like that alter." Watching the man eat the last couple of bites of pizza, she looks at Mal again.

"I think the boys would be all over this challenge," she says after a few moments, missing the boys.

"They'd be arguing over who could eat the most pizza, and regret it later. But in the moment, they'd be having a blast."

Mal feels a little pang at the mention of the boys, her features falling for a split second before she chuckles with a little nod. "Probably Jay would win because he can eat almost anything but Carlos would give it his best try."

"They'd love this whole party," She adds, glancing around.

She takes another long sip, not really thinking much about how her head feels a bit lighter than before. Mostly because it's a nice feeling after everything that has happened over the last little bit since her arrival.

"Have you tried the funnel cakes yet? They smell amazing and you can get strawberries on them!"

When he saw Evie, he had a brief impulse to scold her for being out when she should be recovering, but if anyone deserved to celebrate it was her and anyone else who had been one of the statues. That didn't mean that he wasn't concerned as he slid into a seat next to her as she watched the dancers. He had his own take out box of pizza, vegetarian in case Ronan decided to steal a slice. Setting it down beside Evie's, he smiled at her, hoping that he looked as cheerful as she felt. "You probably could find someone to dance with you, if you wanted."
