WINE PARTY EVENT

[selfgodded]

Who: EVERYONE IN HINOTO-RI
Where: The Square in Scorpio Ward
When: Begins 00:00 New Years!
Summary: Anant and his Persona Dionysus throw a wine party! Mingle, have fun, and watch out for the drinks, some of them are spiked...
Warnings: Alcohol, so expect some silliness in this log. All of the silliness.



It began entirely by accident, really.

Anant had learned that one celebrated the turning of the New Year - a novel experience, really! A world that didn't stand still, that had the cycle of night and day, and the turning of the seasons; the thought of beginning time anew was something beautiful and magnificent to the deluded god. No wonder humans would celebrate such an event!

Dionysus had suggested that perhaps wine would be the best thing to toast the New Year with - and, of course, it would be best to celebrate it where the moon was high in the sky and the stars in view. Atmosphere was just as important! Their quest took them to the square in the Scorpio Ward, nicely fixed up from a past event (something about scorpions, they didn't pry). Anant, of course, brought their own table.

Dionysus supplied the wine, Anant pushed it upon those who were passing by at the time, and soon a crowd began to gather. It started small, but Anant's bubbly personality, delicious wine, and the lighthearted atmosphere drew more and more Hinoto-Ri natives to the scene, and eventually, some of the new arrivals. By the time the clock struck midnight, on the New Years, a large impromptu party had taken over the square!

The free alcohol was possibly the cause of it, but so long as everyone was happy and having fun, why should Anant object to such a thing! To observe such a large congregation of people together - it was magical! Fantastical!

Devious.

It was just past half past twelve in the morning when the 'effect's began appearing. But what did one expect, accepting alcohol from the God of Lunacy? With the moon so high on the sky, washing down on the people below, on such a jovial occasion, how couldn't Dionysus splash a bit of mischief in there?

So have fun, my fellow inhabitants. This night will surely be memorable...

hah, s'all right! I'm having to finish my own icons as I go. And PSD doesn't always love me. :(

"Yes, it... really is." He glanced back down to his sketchbook, sighing. The smile hadn't left, but it was a little sadder. "...I didn't think anything could, but this place is starting to make me kind of homesick. I mean-- for how things used to be, at home.

"And the technology...!" He shook his head. "It's... kind of amazing. I'm not sure if I'll be getting used to it any time soon."

[doesasordered]

"I have to admit, it's even more advanced than where I'm from. I'm not sure I'm happy about how the computers are, ah, installed, as it were...."

[poorlittleblueburdie]

"Oh? You have one? I only saw them in the windows of some of the stores. They're so pretty!" Guess who went window-shopping and stared, cooing, at the screen-savers of some display models?

"Why, what about how they're installed?" Clueless burdie here.

[doesasordered]

"Ah, I suppose I more mean the ones we come into the city with." He mimes the glasses that pop around. "To me, it's a little unsettling. The ones in the stores do look amazing, and maybe wouldn't be so intrusive..."

[poorlittleblueburdie]

"Oh, those ones?" He shifted, to pull what looked for all the world and was a coinpurse-type thing out of his sash, and opened it to peek inside. It looked like he was using it instead of a pocket, for his few cards, plus some other small odds and ends. "...oh good, they stayed."

He frowned at it, closing the little purse back up and hiding it in his sash again. "They keep showing up behind my ears again whenever I take them off." Because it's funny, and his mun enjoys driving him a little nuts. And he's suspicious of them.

[doesasordered]

"Yes, I tried the same thing, and that happened to me as well. I don't much like being wired in all the time, but it seems we have no choice."

[poorlittleblueburdie]

"Wired in?" Avitus paused. Surely that didn't mean what it sounded like? Because he was pretty sure the only wires he'd handled recently were on those lamps he'd made.

Maybe it was a dialect thing? Language tended to change over the centuries, after all. Well, he could always ask! "...What do you mean?"

[doesasordered]

"Ah, as in, connected to a computer or a network all the time."

[poorlittleblueburdie]

"Is that how to refer to it, then?"

He was quiet a moment, considering it. "I don't believe we have anything comparable, where I'm from... but if these things keep escaping my purse, then I'll just have to keep returning them to it. And if that won't do, perhaps I'll find another container in which to keep them, in my quarters. Perhaps one of my oil bottles, once I use the last of it...?"

Yeah, no, that wouldn't really work. Not like he knows that yet, but.

"Where have you tried holding yours thus far?"

[doesasordered]

"It is like they have a life of their own. I've left them in my room at night, or in a pocket... But they're right back when you need them, it seems."

[poorlittleblueburdie]

"I keep finding them there when I go to pull my hair back," he admitted, frowning at the thought. "It's not like I need them at all, really; I haven't used them yet." And wasn't likely to, partly because he had really no idea what they were for.
