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.

[Maketh rubs at her eyes, squinting up at their false sky. It's not like Lothal at all, really, where you could see for miles - the ground so flat, the air so hot and dry it felt like you could see everything.] Uhhh. I have to think. It--it was after I finished my first year at the Academy. A bunch of the senior cadets snuck us into this bar -- I think they wanted to laugh at us, but it was--- [She smiles at the memory, or the fuzzy remains of it.] --I'd never seen so many people in one room...and then I was drinking and there was this girl, and she--she taught me how to dance. And then we kissed in the bathroom.

[Most of the moment is fuzzy. Maketh remembers it in chunks. The twi'lek's smile, the way her teeth had been ever so slightly pointed, how nice those teeth had felt against Maketh's neck. The fumbling joy she'd felt at holding someone else so close. The way the other girl had stroked her hair and hadn't laughed at her clumsiness. Sometimes Maketh wishes she had learned the other girl's name.]

(Newt winds up staring off into space, his eyes a bit distant. Meeting so many people from different worlds made him wonder what it'd be like if he had come from a world a little more like theirs. What experiences he might have had.)

That's awesome.

(He means it too, he realizes. He was glad Maketh had memories like that. His own mind slides off to Peter and he grins stupidly. Maybe he hadn't the experiences but he was glad that had been his first kiss too.)

I think- you're the only person here I've talked to about relationships. I mean, asides Peter. It's interesting to me. You're like, a super genius or something with it.

[mismanagement]

Nah. [Maketh bumps his arm again, her eyes closed. The ground feels good against her hands. Solid. She could probably fall asleep here and nothing bad would happen.] Only had Itani. So that's--

[Not the best sample size, really. But those are complicated words. Maketh settles for patting Newt's arm. There. Point made.] Peter's nice. And--and you smile, with him. So that--that's good.

[krangke]

(Honestly Newt was thinking the same thing. For a dangerous place, Hadriel actually wasn't all that dangerous unless you went off to the caves. Then there were things like trolls and giant man-eating bats! But you were safe if you went with a wolf. Wolves could smell stuff. Wolves were awesome.)

That's more than me.

(Newt thinks it's a huge sample size, personally. Maketh is an aged and wise woman that he takes the experiences of very seriously.

His smile is stupidly fond at the mention of Peter making him smile and it's absolutely true. Peter's the best. He adores Peter. He's his best friend and boyfriend- which is super awesome.)

Yeah, yeah it's really good.

(He's quiet after that, like he's thinking. And he is. Finally he pops up onto his elbows and looks as serious as he can while drunk.)

Hey, so like. What is a relationship supposed to be like anyway? Like how are girlfriends and boyfriends...I dunno...different than friends? Like other than kissing and sex.

(Because he literally has no idea. Was he supposed to be doing things differently? He doesn't know.)

[mismanagement]

I dunno. We were at the Academy. I went---I'd go sit with her, when I wasn't on shift. [Maketh smiles a little, turning her head so she can see Newet. His face is blurry, but she can still feel his smile. This is a good moment.] And--and I'd go with her squad, when they were on leave and visiting places. 's like being part of it, 'cept I never flew anything, and they--they were nice to me. Like she was. They were all so nice.

[She misses that, even now. That simple acceptance. Maketh sighs.]

Her brother made me pancakes.

[krangke]

(It's a really good moment. He keeps on smiling and it becomes a softer, gentler sort of thing that fits better on a sober face but it came through regardless.

It was nice to hear about Maketh's life. He made a note to himself to try and remember to ask about her more later on.

Then he gasps.)

Pancakes! What a good brother.

[mismanagement]

[The look on Newt's face makes her giggle a little. He's a good kid, he really is. Sometimes Maketh thinks he's simple and other times strange - but perhaps it's both at once. Newt is Newt. She likes him that way.] Uh huh. Do you like pancakes? They're awesome.

[krangke]

(What a great thing because he likes Maketh as Maketh who is also kind of odd but kind of great? She's great. Really great. And so responsible.)

Pancakes are probably one of the most amazing things ever. I had them only one time. Great things. Awesome. So flat. Like, soooo flat?

[mismanagement]

Uh huh. They're really nice. [Maketh wipes her mouth on the back of her hand, tasting the wine. It's probably long gone now, given to the plants. Hopefully it won't kill them.] I'll make you some. Yeah! I'll do that.
