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

[bastionmods]

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.

Comments

[croceamors]

I'm actually somewhat thankful for that. Anyway, did you want to dance or not?

[dontyoujustwish]

Absolutely. Let's slow dance the night away.

[croceamors]

You could always teach me something else that isn't so juvenile, you know.

[Said even as he starts to head to where the music is playing.]

[dontyoujustwish]

So you want to know how to dance sexy?

[croceamors]

...Can you even dance 'sexy' to this kind of music?

[dontyoujustwish]

You can dance sexy to just about anything. It's a matter of how overt you are about it.

[croceamors]

...So are my options slow dancing or sexy dancing, then?

[dontyoujustwish]

No. No one said they were mutually exclusive.

[croceamors]

[...He's going to regret all his life choices isn't he]

I suppose now I'm interested. How?

[dontyoujustwish]

Did that man only teach you about fast, violent sex? You really have a lot to learn. Here.

[Now that they're close enough to the music, she's going to invade his personal space. The standard slow-dancing position isn't so bad, right? Well, this might be a little closer than standard.]

You do know how to lead, right?

[croceamors]

There were other things, but he was a sadomasochist.

[Saix picked that up fairly quickly.]

[It's been a long while since he's had to dance with anyone, but slow dancing is hard to mess up. He gets himself into position and nods.]

I'm not that incompetent, at least.

[dontyoujustwish]

What else did you do?

[Did you expect her not to ask.

Well then, where Saix leads, Anya will follow. Very closely and fluidly, as if there's a real tangible connection all along their bodies that keeps her within inches of being plastered to him.]

[croceamors]

[No, this is pretty standard as a matter of fact. Considering her questioning when she first found out they were having sex... Yeah. Saix keeps an eye on his feet as he speaks, not wanting to mess up while he's talking.]

Well, he was fairly willing to let me explore more often than not, so long as he got what he wanted in the end.

[dontyoujustwish]

Explore, huh? I hope you took full advantage of that.

[Really, do you need to stare at your feet?]

[croceamors]

[Just a little. It's been a while, ok, he doesn't want to step on any toes.]

I did before everything else happened, trust me. I'm an advantageous person when I want to behave something I'm interested in.

[Alright, now he'll stop looking at his feet, he thinks he's fine.]

[dontyoujustwish]

You really are gay, aren't you?

[croceamors]

[...]

If Barry was a woman, our interactions probably would have gone the same way.

[Barry was also a shapeshifter, so could very well be a woman, but that's not the conversation that was happening right now.]

[dontyoujustwish]

I enjoy sex, you enjoy sex, but you must not be interested in sex with a woman because you've had plenty of opportunities and you haven't taken them.

[croceamors]

I enjoy sex but don't find it necessary most of the time.

But fine.

Do you want to have sex after the festival?

[...No one said he was smooth.]

[dontyoujustwish]

[Anya doesn't ask for smooth.]

Yes, I do. Let's do that.

1/3

[croceamors]

Alright then.

[Now back to this dancing thing.]

[croceamors]

[...wait]

[croceamors]

Don't we need condoms?

[Aren't you proud that this loser you associate yourself with has actually remembered an important sex fact you've told him? Maybe there's hope for him.]

[dontyoujustwish]

[Aw, that is sort of sweet that he remembered.]

I have some, don't worry.

[croceamors]

It's the end of the world and you're still prepared for it. That's somewhat impressive.

[He can respect that kind of dedication.]
