End of the Long Winter.

[fluxscapemod]

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.

I. FOOD TRUCKS: Taste Testing!

Jan's never been one to say no to a social event, especially a celebration. She might not have been in her own world anymore, but the natives were plenty welcoming now that they weren't living in fear. Thus Jan can be found flying around in her Wasp form, only to return to her normal size when hits a food truck that has an offering she just can't refuse.

"Oh my god, this is so good!" She exclaims happily as she takes a lick off her scoop of rocky road on a waffle cone. "This is probably some of the best ice cream, I have ever had!"

Clearly she is excited, even as she wonders how many pounds is she going to put on from all this free food!

II. MUSIC & SMORES!

As the day wears on and turns into evening, Jan finds herself sitting by one of the fires with a few of the locals, listening to their stories while roasting marshmallows for smores. She laughs when asked if she has any stories she wants to share.

"I wouldn't know where to start, honestly." She chuckles as she pulls her marshmallow away from the fire and blows on it, before eating it because who can say no to toasted marshmallows?

[ooc; If you would prefer a different prompt with Jan. Feel free to contact me through PMs on this journal or on plurk @ ariyanaforever or even discord @ empressariyana#9091 and we can discuss it and come up with something!]

"So you'd recommend it?"

The voice that speaks up about the enthusiastic ice cream reaction is hesitant and belongs to a heavy set man with an out of fashion bowlcut hairdo and a tired, craggy face. He looks nervous, uncomfortable and out of place; on edge somehow.

But he's trying to blend in and be friendly, today dressed normally; no outlandish Mysterio costume.

"If you like sweets, then sure. This is really delicious." Jan replied with a smile. "Are you new around here?" She asked after a moment, taking note of the fact that he seemed to be uncomfortable.

She hadn't been in Driftcrest long herself, but she was always willing to help others out if they needed the help.

[makeanentrance]

"A few weeks. It was winter... and now... we have this celebration."

He hadn't helped out, not sure what he could have done. But he was aware of recent events.

[wasp_stings]

"Ah, I guess we just never crossed paths during the craziness." She replied with a shrug. "I'm Jan." She introduced herself.

Things had been utterly nuts for a hot minute there. So she wasn't surprised that she hadn't met some people yet.

[makeanentrance]

"I'm...," he hesitates, more used to giving his supervillain moniker - but he's just a regular guy here at the moment... Trying to be.

"I'm Quentin."

He'd spoken to a few people but for the most part had been keeping to himself, still trying to figure things out and settle in.

[wasp_stings]

"Nice to meet you, Quentin." She replied with a bright smile. Aside from him seeming on the reserved side, she didn't think anything of his hesitance.

"How have you been liking it here so far?"

[makeanentrance]

"Unseen monsters turning people to ice? Random travels across the multiverse? Seems like home," he says with a half-hearted chuckle and lopsided smile.
