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.

[He lights it then, before taking a quick few steps back while the fuse burns down and lights all the individual strings. Ronan grins back at the camera before backing off further as the monstrosity is lit and the rockets start firing up.

Most of them manage to stay on, but a few pull free from their tape and shoot off in skewed directions. Ronan whoops a laugh as the rest of the rocket struggles to take flight in the wake of losing some of its rockets and winds up off-kilter, spiraling and spinning out in flashing sparks and charred tape.]

Cover your ears!

[Ronan manages to yell toward Noah, covering his own ears with his hands. The rocket isn't nearly high enough to be safe when it finally explodes, and Ronan can feel the boom vibrate in his feet- the sound of it alone has impact, and he can feel the heat on his face from the resulting explosion, the light and color too impossibly bright- he has to look away, squeeze his eyes shut, the image of the explosion burned onto his retina.]

[casperdisaster]

[Noah's getting better with phones - especially when he's recording and taking pictures of others rather than himself, so he's got a very good angle and focus on Ronan in the beginning. Catches his devil-may-care grin and everything.

He doesn't really recognize there's a danger until Ronan says something. It's just casual destructive fun before that.

Noah gets out two words when one of the smaller fireworks manages to bounce off a pole and head straight for him.]

Oh shit!

[Positives: Noah is not hurt. Noah manages to cover his ears in time.
Negatives: the tiny firework manages to hit Noah's hand holding the phone so he drops it.

It's miraculously undamaged, he finds when he's done delighting in the mayhem Ronan gets up to and Noah follows along with. It's dusty, but he doesn't find any cracks when he bends to pick it up.]

Aww, it didn't get the best part! That was amazing and I don't have it recorded!

[greywaren]

You didn't?

[It's difficult to hear Noah, but Ronan gets the gist of it. He's tempted to take Noah's phone to look at the recording himself, but instead he just positions himself at Noah's shoulder and indicates for him to hit play as he blinks the brightness from his eyes.

That's a little disappointing, but at the same time, Ronan isn't sure what it would have captured. The firework was too close to really get the full scope of it.]

More tape next time.

[casperdisaster]

[Noah pouts, but he still got to see it with Ronan, and that's the important thing.]

It'll be amazing. It was amazing.

[greywaren]

It almost left a hole in your face.

[Ronan reaches out, taking Noah's jaw to make sure that he's not actually bleeding anywhere, but most of it thankfully seems like soot, and Ronan releases it after a moment more with a sigh.]

But yeah, it was pretty cool.
