[open, mingle] ice town

Who: Everyone!
What: Lucretia's Ice Festival, pending rebanding by the Taaco Twins
Where: Outside Lucretia's house, Imported Housing 4-3
When: May 10th
Warnings: Hopefully none, God save us, it's a party

She'd organized the Midsummer Festival at the Bureau of Balance for years, so this should be old hat. Of course, Lucretia doesn't have a full staff and the resources of an entire moonbase at her disposal here. Still, she seems to have managed to pull things together fairly well.

The house is open, but the party's clearly centered in the backyard, which truly has been transformed into a cool oasis from the jungle heat. The grass is frosted and shimmering, crunching satisfyingly underfoot and never melting. There are a couple of snow forts stocked with snowballs, a small skating rink, and what looks like a sort of ice slip-n-slide, looking as dangerous as it does fun.

There's also a decorative ice fountain between two tables stocked with food, and thanks to Rey, a donation of beer from the speakeasy chilling in its own ice cooler alongside a little minibar. Lucretia herself is hovering near the snacks, nodding politely at the guests and generally supervising to make sure everything's going well.

[ OOC - this is a mingle log, so post toplevels and tag around! If you have an idea for a cool Ice Thing that may or may not be strictly up to safety codes, feel free to write it in! ]

[Dany certainly makes ice skating look good.]

First time on the ice, sis?

[It's no surprise the twins are as good at ice skating as they are with anything else relating to balance and agility, the pair of flip wizards they are, just as elegant as one might expect of an elf, all long-legged and graceful. Too bad that illusion breaks whenever they open their mouths.

But Lup skates up beside Dany with ease, long hair pulled back into an elaborate braid for the occasion, with frost-tipped flowers weaved into her hair. She's grinning when she comes into view, though it's so rare for her not to be, long ears perked up in greeting.]

It might be. [ Oh, Lup: don't embarrass her. Dany tries to fight back a fond smile as the elf appears and glides by her with ease. ] Is everyone from your world used to...this?

[ Perhaps they do it in the North, she thinks, though Jon hasn't mentioned anything like it. ]

Isn't it possible to fall through, were you heavy enough?
restinglichface: Let's give up! (I've got a plan:)

[But also consider, yes, teasing the cute girl is so much fun.]

This? Nah, not everyone. Taako an' I just like to grace everyone with our expertise, y'know? It's like, giving back to the world. We're real generous.

[Lup can't even say it without laughing, her ears lifting in mirth, eyes bright.]

Oh, for sure. Seen it happen a million times. [She's just steady enough to raise a leg and stamp her boot on the ice.] But Luce knows what she's doing. This shit is totes safe.

But your friend is talented, too. She said she learned it when she spent an extended period of time on an ice planet.

[ At this, Dany is looking to Lucretia, watching her skate gracefully. ]

I suppose she doesn't seem the type to let that risk run without accounting for it. [ The young queen looks back at Lup with another smile. ] I'm surprised you're enjoying this as much as you are, given your affinity for fire.
restinglichface: (hell yeah)

[personal profile] restinglichface 2019-06-15 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
She sure is.

[Dany's gaze is drawn to Lucretia and Lup's follows just as fast, watching her friend from the across the distance with an obvious fondness, smugness curled at her mouth. Out of all of them, Lucretia's grown the most and Lup's so loved to see that development. Even with everything that's happened, even with the wounds between them that still need to heal, she's so completely proud of the woman Lucretia's become.

That praise is all hers.

But the elf just turns her smile back on Dany and shrugs, casual as anything.]


Fire's my speciality, sure, but I'm your classic evocation wizard, bae-bee. I've got a pocketful of spells from other elements too.

Evocation is the school of magic that deals with various elements. [ Dany muses, repeating something Lup has just said, and which she's learned from the elf herself in past lessons. ] Do you think that I should learn to use others, beside fire?

[ Fire and blood are her words, after all, and she's still a novice. But...maybe in the future. ]
