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.

Nobody ever taught you not to tempt fate, did they. [His dad makes horror movies. One would think Josh knows better than that.

Not that he doesn't have a point, but she's just... wary, let's say. She's always been more prone to thinking ahead rather than jumping into things. It's worked pretty well for her so far.

She hasn't put down the can of spraypaint, though.]

Free good booze, too. [Em stocked up.] Have you been partying all week?

[pighead]

[He does know better. He just genuinely doesn't know what they could do to him that would be worse than what's already happened. He knows what happened to Hannah and Beth now - that's part of the reason he's drinking so much - and he's been a wendigo himself. How exactly do you top that? It's gonna be hard even for a god.

He holds up his bottle, waggles it at her a little.]

Can't stop won't stop. Party hard or don't party at all, Em. Want some?

[unfollowing]

[Of course he'd say that. She rolls her eyes. She's pretty sure he can stop, but she's not going to argue grammar with him when he's drunk and in a good mood. It's a hell of a lot less awkward to be around him when he's like this.

Being that she hasn't had any alcohol in the past few days (she's been really focused on planning for the sewing shop), she doesn't expect a repeat of that trainwreck of a conversation by the lake last week. So, shrugging, Emily snatches the bottle from Josh's hand and knocks some of it back.

It's not the best she's ever had, but it's not about that, anyway. It's more like... a sign of truce, or something. That she's not out to fight Josh for every little thing. She's got to lay the groundwork for when she gives him Hannah's locket, after all -- more for herself than for him, at any rate. It's back in her room, safely tucked away in a drawer in her nightstand.]

Gross, Josh. [she says, handing the bottle back to him.] You just had to steal shit like that and not, like, top shelf shit.

[pighead]

[Josh grins and takes another swig himself. He's drunk, sure, but he pretty much sees it the same way she does - a truce, if just for now. His own feelings are mixed, especially after knowing what happened to his sisters. He's still torn on who to blame, if anyone, and Em's name might end up at the top of that list. But for now he just wants to blot out all the shitty things, all the pain and the misery and the grief.

Alcohol is great for that. And if she wants to join in, that's great too.]

Hey, they're pretty much giving it all away. You could get something nice if you wanted, but it's not like it'll taste all that much better.

[unfollowing]

[For once, they're of the same mind about something. Alcohol makes it easy not to think about what sucks -- most times, anyway. Last week, it'd pulled her deep into the things she'd rather ignore.

Tonight is a good night, though, and she has no intention to get drunk.]

Taste's not the point. You get good stuff when you can because you can. [It's the principle of the thing.] I did get something nice, by the way. I'm not an ingrate. Delight went to all that trouble for me, so I'm gonna show her I appreciate it by taking every bottle of Sin Rival I see.

[Priorities, right?]

So, what, tonight's tagging night? [She can get behind that. Not with that, which would imply she'll continue to participate. But Josh is a pretty creative guy when he's not using his powers for bullshit pranks, and Emily could use a laugh.] Not bad. Is this all you've done?
