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.

Careful-

[Says Bruce, helpfully, relieved when it thunks, spills, and doesn't shatter. He bends to start picking it up.]

[bekommen]

I got it, 'sfine -

[She also grabs for the bottle, maybe too slow to actually reach it first.]

[zen_en_vert]

[He already has it, but holds onto it for a second.]

Would you like a glass of water?

[bekommen]

[Nick rights herself, swaying a little as she holds on to the doorway.]

... Maybe.

[Yes.]

[zen_en_vert]

[Bruce nods, and moves towards the sink, bringing the bottle with him- if he happens to tip it out, well- Dlight will probably make more, but he'll feel a little better.]

[bekommen]

[Nick's too preoccupied with the sudden throbbing pain behind her eyes to take notice of the bottle's location or state of emptiness.]

That's a damn rookie mistake, isn't it.

[She half-smiled, pained.]

[zen_en_vert]

Which part?

[Says Bruce, innocently, like he hasn't just done something rather potentially controversial.]

[bekommen]

Forgettin' to drink water. You're s'posed to alternate.

[zen_en_vert]

I mean. Yes. Medically speaking you aren't supposed to drink like that at all, but alternating with water will certainly mitigate some of the dehydrating effects.

[bekommen]

Dumb mistake.

[She squints up at him.]

Hey, so. You're a doctor. How do you fix bein' dumb?

[zen_en_vert]

That's just sobriety, and time'll take care of it for you.

[He promises, really rather kindly now.]

Come sit down.

[bekommen]

[Without argument, she shuffles over and sits where indicated.]

How much time you figure? 'Cause - I gotta lot of it.

[zen_en_vert]

If you try to get some rest, then I'm sure you'll feel better by morning.

[He says, much more gently, now.]

[bekommen]

[Nick laughs halfheartedly and drops her head sideways into her open hand.]

People always say that, and it's never true. All y'end up with in the morning is the same shitty feelings a day later.

[zen_en_vert]

So why do you keep doing it?

[Would be his question.]

[bekommen]

'Cause I'm an optimist.

[Which couldn't be farther from the truth; she giggles loudly, bordering on hysterics, like it's the funniest joke in the world.]

[zen_en_vert]

Drink your water. And follow me- we've got very good beds back this way, you can lie down there.

[He says, with a vaguely pressed, but at least mildly amused little smile.]

[bekommen]

Hey, you're the doc, doc.

[She gives him a one-shouldered shrug and does as instructed, swaying slightly as she ambles after him.]
