August 15th; It's a Spooky Party!

Who: Castiel and YOU. ALL OF YOU.
What: It's a party! It was going to be a fun game of Twister party, but now it's a spoopy party. This is a massive mingle, so please feel free to write your own starters! And feel free to jump on the party game headers as well, or include them in your starters too!
Where: The bar!
When: August 15th
Warnings: ALL THE WARNINGS. No, I lie. Alcohol, truth or dare, people falling on each other, scary stories maybe and snogging in a closet. And talking about feelings. Please add your own warnings to your comment thread headers and I will add them to the list!


Whether or not the lights were off, Castiel was determined to go ahead with his plan to cheer up the residents of Hadriel, and get them interacting with each other. He'd made his plans a week in advance, and when it came right down to it, the idea of whether or not he would allow Fear to get in the way of having fun was practically moot. Of course he wouldn't. It was far simpler to be oblivious, far easier to overcome fear - at least his own, if not the god - with amusement, and companionship.

It threw a bit of a monkey wrench into his plans, and was, it had to be said, particularly devastating for his personal party trick in particular. How would his "pull my finger" joke work now? But he was determined to soldier on, and that meant that the bar was taken over by an eager angel, complete with food that had been collected from the orchard, and around the town, a pack of cards, a bag full of pebbles, a bunch of sticks with tiny carvings on them, and as much paint as he had left over from his aborted attempt to redecorate the Winchester apartment.

Not much of a party, but that was what guests were for. And party games. And alcohol, obviously--that was why it was being held at a bar.

So maybe they'd have to bring their own light, and perhaps people might take advantage of the spooky mood and audience to tell some of those stories that Fear wanted people to share, or to play horrid tricks on each other...but so long as things didn't turn into a remake of Cabin in the Woods, Evil Dead, or House on Haunted Hill, they were probably fine. Actually, scratch that, so long as it didn't turn into any horror movie ever, they were probably fine.

But then, with Twister, Truth or Dare and Poker (any of which you can add "strip" in front of and they will be infinitely more fun) as available gaming options, perhaps it was a horror movie already.

"A gift." She sets the box in front of him and averts her eyes, picking up the bottle of Marillenschnaps while he opens it.

Inside are a dozen small jars, each one filled with leftover paints she found scattered around. Each jar contains its own color, and she even repurposed some paint brushes so that they're better for use on paper than on walls.

She doesn't know what to say so instead River just blushes furiously and pours one glass of each kind of schnapps.

"They're beautiful." Steve turns one of the stars over in his hand, marveling at how it's made. He only puts it down again to open the box that she places in front of him. Steve had looked for some of the paint, only to find that most of it was gone or dried up. But here are bottles of it, painstakingly collected.

Steve looks up in surprise - that she found this much, that she thought to save it, that she' giving it to him.

"Thank you." The words aren't enough. Steve feels a sudden heat in his throat, a tightness in his chest. He sighs heavily to relax it. "I hope you didn't go to too much trouble."

She would worry about that sigh if she didn't understand what caused it. Instead she feels warmth spread out from her core, and she wants to fold him into her arms and squeeze until he laughs and breathes again.

"How do you measure trouble?" River reaches out and puts her hand flat against his chest. "It's worth it for this. You'll make art and it will shine. It's worth it. You're worth it."

She drops her hand, blushing, and gathers up the stars again, leaving them in her open palm. "She misses the stars. Castiel said he misses the insects, the bees and butterflies and mosquitoes. What do you miss?"

Steve almost locks up again when she tells him that he's worth it. Before Hadriel, only a handful of people had ever made him feel that. The vast majority tried to make him feel the exact opposite. There have been a few more in the cave, and while the numbers haven't balanced out yet, the people are special enough that their words cancel out a thousand of the bad ones.

He smiles at her and reaches up to cover her hand with his, their fingers brushing as hers drops.

"Baseball games on the radio." Steve's answer is almost instant. "I hear that television pretty much replaces it in the future, probably youtube too." Steve just learned about that from Noah. "But there's something about listening to a baseball game in summer with the windows open, warm breeze, just closing your eyes and picturing it. I bet I did that a thousand times or more."

River hums appreciatively, doing just that - closing her eyes and imagining it, letting his words wash over her along with the sense memory he has of those summers. Humid, yes, almost unbearably so, but something cold to drink and baseball to listen to.

"Better than television." She's never heard of a youtube but she can guess it is something similar to vids, broadcast to everyone and cutting short the imagination. Besides, something in her recoils at the idea of spending hours watching something that methodically watches back without actually interacting with anyone. She's wary of screens for that reason; you never know who is actually on the other side. "It sounds nice; summers are for planets and a lost youth. It's been a long time since then."

He watches her when she closes her eyes. And even if she can't see him doing it, he still feels that little flush of self-consciousness.

"You think so?" Steve hasn't exactly taken a survey, but he doesn't know how many people would choose something as old-fashioned as radio over television, especially after hearing about color television. "Maybe we can capture it again, or the baseball part anyway. Would you play?"

"Sounds are better than visions bombarded with information, true and false. Easier to just listen but sometimes even the sounds are dangerous. Have to take care." River nods. "Never played. Will play. How do you play?"
