The party is nearly over. Last drinks anyone? [Day 146]

Who: Everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 146
Where: All over the Bastion
What: Day 4 of the festival
Format: Any
Warnings: None

Yet another torch arrives in the wee morning hours, this one decorated with chains.

Today, the eldest of the Bastion and the youngest of the Bastion are gifted with another charm for their bracelets.

As for games, it seems to be strategy games all over the place! Games much like Earthly counterparts, such as Go, Shogi, Mahjong, Chess (even a 3D chess-like game, should you be so brave as to try it), Checkers, Risk (et al). Winners of these games will get a few more shards to add to their respective collections.

And there will also be a massive tower in the center of the Bastion, designed much like a climbing wall. Get to the top and retrieve the pendant in the set amount of time, and you'll earn another charm towards your bracelet!

As an extra to the ladies of the Bastion, there will be two special things exclusively for them - first off, Pyth will only be usable by ladies. Anyone who identifies as male will simply not receive a reaction from Ptyh should they step in to the pit. AND there will also be a special tug of war game for ladies only, using a chain. Acobi is the God of Abandon, and as such women will be free to do whatever they want today, regardless of their upbringing or beliefs. Go nuts, girls! The girls who win the tug of war will also get another charm, as well as two shards per person on the team that wins.

Evening will bring the next torch, this one adorned with a tower, and a massive feast of much healthier food and drink than what's been offered up until. Even if you eat and drink a great deal, you'll find yourself lacking any hangovers or stomach aches the following morning.

The soft music that's been playing every day of the festival will suddenly quit at around "5pm", and the remainder of the night will be filled with live music played by the NPCs, and even a few PCs should they choose to join in. The music will be in the gazebo with seats set up all around it like an outdoor performance stage, but with enough room up front for spontaneous dancing.

The night ends with this joyful celebration to close out the festival.

Being a god doesn't make you all-knowing, and anyway, from a god's perspective I should at least be jailbait.

[croceamors]

..Well, that's never a word I would have used in relation to you, but I imagine it's all a matter of perspective.

[dontyoujustwish]

I'm actually surprised you know it.

[croceamors]

It's amazing the sort of things you learn from old men with eyepatches and no control of their own mouths.

[dontyoujustwish]

What, like pirates?

[croceamors]

No, although I'm certain he's been called it. He was another one of my coworker's, a gunman.

[Whoops is Saix's tone giving away that he'd like that particular coworker most of all run over by a truck?]

[dontyoujustwish]

My ex-fiancé is sporting an eyepatch these days, but he certainly couldn't be called old. He was a pirate once for Halloween, though.

[Whoops, she's on a different train of thought here.]

[croceamors]

Did the eyepatch happen to be your fault?

[dontyoujustwish]

No. Believe me, I would have done worse, but vengeance demons aren't able to take vengeance on their own behalf.

[croceamors]

I see. Well, at least he's missing some sort of body part, then.

[dontyoujustwish]

We made up, actually. I'm perfectly happy with him having all the rest of his body parts.

[croceamors]

Really? I wouldn't have thought vengeance demons were big on forgiveness.

[dontyoujustwish]

As a rule, no. I spent a while hating him, but I have to take into account the fact that he's an idiot, and a man. He only did what he thought was right at entirely the wrong time.

[croceamors]

...I suppose I can sympathize with that sort of mistake, then.

Getting back on track, you don't look like you're past your twenties to me. Anything we can do to get your mind off of others saying how old you are?

[dontyoujustwish]

You probably don't dance, do you?

Although you are offering, so you should at least consider it.

[croceamors]

...What kind of dancing?

[A feeling of regret is already kind of starting but oh well.]

[dontyoujustwish]

Let's start with, what kind do you know?

[croceamors]

The kind of obligatory slow dances you teach highschoolers. I haven't really had any reason to dance for a long while.

[dontyoujustwish]

Hang on. I'm trying to imagine you at a prom.

Did you have a date?

[croceamors]

[Anya pls]

..No. I got asked, but... I didn't know her that well, I think. I was too busy getting into trouble to be on the lookout for anyone myself.

[dontyoujustwish]

No boy crushes either then?

[croceamors]

This seems less about dancing now and more about my ridiculous adolescent love life, or lack of one.

[dontyoujustwish]

I notice you didn't actually answer my question.

[croceamors]

[Sigh]

Yes. But it was just a crush and I never really went after it.

[dontyoujustwish]

Well, it probably did save you some heartbreak in the end.

But I think it would have been a sweet way to lose your virginity.
