Event log: How Delightful

[hadrielmods]

Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: Delight's resurrection.
Where: Throughout the city, starting in the bar.
When: March 23rd-April 3rd
Warnings: Partying too hard, poor life choices, underage drinking, the worst hangovers of all time.

On the morning of March 23rd, bright and early, Delight is resurrected. Her temple is restored, and her bar appears in the city. What does that mean? Well, obviously it's time to celebrate. We hope everyone brought their party shoes! From March 23rd to March 27th, the party will be mostly contained in and around Delight's bar, with an invitation from the goddess herself. But it won't be long before she decides that's just not good enough - gotta bring the party to the people! From March 28th to April 3rd, the natural light is dimmed and replaced with flashing colored lights, fireworks, and even a few disco balls. Loud music blares through the city, making it hard to sleep, and a wide variety of trouble is available to be gotten into.

Wanna drink away the pain of being trapped in a hellcave? There's unlimited amounts of alcohol of all kinds, and Delight will be happy to supply anything that might be missing. More interested in karaoke-ing your heart out? Hit up one of the jukeboxes. Enjoy gleeful displays of your own mortality? Here's a skateboard and a ramp, have fun. There's just about anything you could desire, as long as what you desire is to party hard and make bad decisions. And hey, if you find yourself getting tired, grab one (or five) of Delight's special energy shots. They'll eliminate your need for sleep, food, water, cure an oncoming hangover and immediately relax any sore muscles you've got for 24 hours per shot! There's no down side! (Except for all the effects coming back to hit you at once when the shot wears off, but whatever.)

After about a week and a half of tequila shots, keg stands, roman candle battles, tagging the city with free spraypaint, inappropriate party games, and balloon hats made to look like rocket ships (wait... that's not a rocket ship), Delight realizes everyone's partied out and starts to wind things down. On April 3rd, she'll clean up the city, removing everything except for a few remaining fireworks and disco balls, stored in her temple. Her bar will still be around, if you can stand to even look at liquor after all the poor choices you made. Otherwise, lay in bed and try to recover from your hangover while the city goes back to normal.

[werewolfing]

We are.

[peter gives another snort of laughter, then hums. his voice gets softer and closer to newt's ear.]

I wanted to pretend I wasn't totally fuckin doomed from that first night you came into my room, but then you disappeared and came back, and after that...fuck pretending, y'know? I was so scared you were gone forever.

[krangke]

(What Peter says sobers Newt up just a little bit. His eyes get a little glassy and he doesn't know why he's so surprised. Peter's always cared about him, sure, but hearing him say that-.

Well.

Newt withdraws ever so slightly from Peter and knocks his nose a bit lightly into Peter's.)

We should get out of here. Head back home. I think I want to be alone with you.

[werewolfing]

Okay.

[peter steps back from newt a little bit but catches his hand with more dexterity than the inebriated deserve.]

Are we bringing our friends whiskey, vodka, or rum home with us?

[tequila is out of the running because it leads to too many bad decisions. whiskey decisions are much safer.]

[krangke]

We can bring along some vodka.

(He squeezes his fingers tightly through Peter's.)

Though I think we won't wind up drinking much of it.

(There's a certain sort of gleam to Newt's eye when he looks at Peter. He idly sways their hands between them before heading to the bar to get a bit of vodka for them to go.

Then he's leading Peter out of the bar and into the thrumming city. He swings the bottle in his other hand, walking near Peter.)

I think about it a lot, you know. How when I came back, everything kind of...was different between us. I mean, I died, and then there was you.

(He shrugged. That kind of thing really impacted someone.)

[werewolfing]

Me either, but it's never bad to have a little vodka on hand.

[that gleam in peter's eye makes him look down and smile for a moment before looking back u p at newt and smiling.]

Do you? You came back different. Not in a bad way, just...different, once the worst of it passed. In a good way, actually. Maybe you can't really want to be with somebody until you want to stay with them.

[krangke]

(Newt gave their hands a bit of a swing and tilted his head at Peter, only mildly confused.)

What do you mean? I've always wanted to stay with you. And, I mean, of course I'm different now. You met me when I was still sick, you know. Getting sicker, anyway.

[werewolfing]

[peter gives a shrug that sends their hands swaying more.]

Yeah, I know. But now you have a garden, so you have to stay for it to grow. That's what I mean. And that's good. Maybe you thought about a garden before, but then you did it, even though you were feeling like shit. We're like a plant in your garden, and now we can grow. And if you get sick, we'll have strong roots. That's what I mean.

[krangke]

(Newt frowns a little bit, uncertain still. Mostly because he's drunk but also a little bit because he's just not following.)

I don't really think there's anywhere for me to go even if I wanted to, Peter. We're kinda stuck. But if there was, I'd be staying for you, not the garden.

(Newt's a pretty literal drunk, sorry Peter. But he does squeeze his hand tightly.)

But...maybe I know what you're trying to say a little bit.

[werewolfing]

Not like go-go. Like in your head go. But you're stuck with me there too, so.

[he gives the side of newt's head a clumsy kiss, because what is coordination while walking.]

I'm not very good at saying things. You're very important.

[krangke]

Oh....

(He stares off a bit after that, his expression rather serious. The kiss brings about a grin though and he looks over at Peter.)

I think you're actually excellent at saying things. You just don't like to give yourself credit. You've said a whole lot of good things to me over the months...And you're very important to me too, Peter. I really care about you.

[werewolfing]

I danced with you. Clear symptom of adoration. Totally lost my mind over some leggy blond babe.

[peter gives newt a wry smile that turns into a real one, crooked and a little silly and very warm.]

[krangke]

(Newt starts to laugh and turns his head away, his cheeks going a little bit red. He really didn't think he'd ever get used to compliments like that. Once he resumed a bit of self-control, he walked himself closer to Peter.)

I hope you know that it was your weird fascination with my hair that made me really. I dunno. Think about things. I mean, I know that sounds bloody idiotic but no one's complimented me the way you have. No one's ever flirted with me. I never knew what to do with the things you said and for such a long time, well, honestly up until the mirror thing, I mostly thought you were just teasing and joking with me.

(He snorts a bit at himself, at Peter.)

And this entire time I was just silently pining over a boy who hasn't got a single clue about his own value and is so bloody gorgeous that I could just die happy looking at you.

[werewolfing]

Other people have missed out on prime leggy blond babe. So much the better for me. And I can tease and be serious at the same time.

[he turns so that he's walking backward in front of newt, a feat that he manages with a minimum of stumbling against all odds.]

You could do more than just look at me, and you don't even have to die.

[krangke]

Oh yes, I know that now but originally I was completely stumped. You're endlessly perplexing.

(He says it with a bit of a dreamy sigh. He likes this new arrangement. He gets to look at Peter because of it and that's always an excellent situation, in his humble opinion.)

Oh yeah?

(Newt quirks a brow and his mouth curves into a partial smirk.)

Sounds a bit to me like a win-win. I do rather enjoy doing more than just looking at you. Like touching you. Touching you is a supreme thing all on its own. And I like to think I am rather good at it.

[werewolfing]

I can't possibly be that perplexing. I think. Maybe a little perplexing. Not on purpose mostly.

[peter laughs a short little laugh, head tilting back, and that makes him stumble. he catches himself by grabbing newt's other hand.]

You are rather good at it. Very good. Quick study. But reciprocation is only fair.

[krangke]

Oh but you are. You're soooo perplexing.

(Now Newt is just being a jerk of course.

His other hand has a bottle in it but he still reaches up so Peter has something to grab. He won't let Peter fall. He has plans for the night.)

Reciprocation is only fair. And I think I need to broaden my horizons on touching you.

(He walks closer to Peter and lowers his voice, speaking quietly and privately then:)

I think- maybe- I should be allowed to broaden my horizons tonight. If you want.

[werewolfing]

Oh my god do I want.

[the words spill out of his mouth dripping with heat and brutally honest. maybe too honest. he's self-aware enough that he goes just slightly pink, although it might be the alcohol helping.]

Your horizons can be as broad as you like. Always.

[krangke]

(Peter's reaction causes Newt to smile shyly at his boyfriend, feeling stupidly jittery from being able to work a reaction like that out of Peter. It made his skin crawl and yeah, definitely broadening his horizons tonight. He bites the corner of his lip as if it was really going to help keep the smile off of his face.)

Fantastic. I don't know much....But, well, a little birdie told me about a thing called 'body shots'?

(He raises his brows very intentionally at Peter.)

Thought that could be a bit of fun. Then we could go from there.

[werewolfing]

Body shots?

[peter's eyebrows make a climb for his hairline and he laughs again, short but loud.]

What little birdie is this, kitten? I need to thank them later.

[krangke]

(Newt winds up smiling stupidly wide because Peter has an awesome laugh.)

Maketh. She's awesome. She's very wise.

(Newt nods very sagely.)

She was letting me know how to make Super Special Friends and you're really only the Super Special Friend I want to have.

[werewolfing]

Maketh, hm? I'll have to meet her.

[peter presses his lips together to contain his grin at the super special friends business. he has to wonder how completely blitzed newt was to get through that conversation without actually turning into a tomato.]

I'm pretty okay with being your only Super Special Friend, so I think this will work out.

[krangke]

She's amazing.

(He was completely blitzed. He wasn't even wearing a shirt during that conversation if that's anything to go by. Otherwise though yeah he would have blushed.)

I would hope so since you are.
