fluxscape | 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.

Jess couldn't really blame people for partying after defeating the Unseen and freeing their people. Everywhere she looked she could see happy faces as she moved through the festival, surrounded by noise and activity. Not that she looked like she was really enjoying it all though as she kept a rather straight face while weaving through the crowd.

Eventually, she could be found sitting off to the side, enjoying a slice of pizza from the Fire'd Up truck, silently impressed that they had actually managed to make it as close to a New York slice as they could without actually being in the city. At her elbow, there was a drink that she had snagged at one of the vendors actually selling something hard to drink. A cup that remained a steady fixture in her hand when she got up to move around later on.

She could be found hanging out near the dance floor once or twice without actually joining in. Then she would drift away to the campfires they had going on, finally settling in on one of the benches and relaxing.

CLOSED TO TONY STANK (:P)

Eventually, Jess couldn't deny that the hammocks looked comfortable and so she finally approached the vendor to get one for herself. Sure, they were meant for two but she wasn't really thinking about that as she set her drink carefully to the side and went through the motion of getting the hammock set up.

She was silently praying that the hammock didn't flip or anything when she turned to sink into it, deciding to sit first and use it almost like a swing when she reached for her drink to snag it up once more. Then she sat back to relax, deciding to enjoy it that way at first before she would inevitably turn to stretch out.

At least, that was the plan.

"So...you like pina coladas?"

The voice came from the side, just before a certain mouthy engineer with a plate of tacos became visible, wandering up to the edge of the hammock as he just finished chewing and swallowing a bite of his food.

"And getting caught in the rain?"

For just a split second, Jessica really didn’t know what to say as she looked up at Tony Stark who was actually approaching her and asking if she liked pina coladas. Then she remembered, vaguely, that there was a song that he was possibly referring to.

“I do if there is nothing else to drink. She replied with a bit of a shrug before taking another sip of her drink. “And does anyone actually like getting caught in the rain? Really?”

She isn't the only one hanging around the Fire'd Up truck at the moment. Miles also found that the pizza was very close to New York, and was enjoying a couple of slices.

Nothing can beat a classic pepperoni pizza, after all.

Jess recognizes Miles from the house as she makes her way over, deciding to join him for the moment and just check in. That's what she is supposed to do as the 'responsible adult' of the house, right?

"Not bad pizza, hey?"

Miles grins a little when he notices Jess. Though they haven't talked too much since she arrived, he'd caught her at the house enough times that he thinks she's pretty cool.

Swallowing his current mouthful, he replies, "Yeah, it's pretty good. Kinda reminds me of pizza back home."

Jessica has her suspicions about where home is but it is one of those things they haven't really talked about. Mostly because they haven't talked a lot.

"Where is home?" She asks curiously, taking another bite of her pizza.

"Brooklyn...New York." He isn't sure why he adds the clarification; people who didn't know already Brooklyn probably wouldn't know where New York was either, so that wouldn't be a very helpful way of explaining to someone unfamiliar with his world. And to be honest, Jessica seemed like someone who came from at least a similar version of his Earth, so she'd probably know where Brooklyn is already.

"Hell's Kitchen." Jessica motioned to herself, understanding the whole clarification bit since it just seemed to be something people did when they lived in New York. The truth was she kind of ran all over the place but Hell's Kitchen was where her apartment-slash-business was located.

Taking another bite of pizza, Miles grinned a bit. "Oh, a New Yorker too, huh? No wonder you've got such great taste in pizza."

End of the Long Winter.
