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...

[OOC: Sorry for the tl;dr! Alrighty, so everyone can mingle and do as they please in the comments! You do not have to know Anant to log in - you don't even have to interact with them! Just do your own thing and have fun!

Johnny enjoyed a good part like anybody, but this time he wasn't too keen on getting all that tipsy. He didn't need to go home and spill his dirty little secret to Otoha. No, until it had been long enough for that secret to bury itself, the vampire was on a strict blood and water only drinking diet.

However, he still had a fondness for people and, especially, people who seemed off on their own. And this one looked so fascinating~!

The vampire came up behind the bench and leaned against the edge of it. "Someone so lovely shouldn't be secluding themselves at a party, you know~"

Avitus's hand paused in drawing at his being addressed.

Or at least, he was pretty sure he was the one being... called.... Um.

Not really moving much, he peeked over at the newcomer, meeting their gaze. Yup, he was the one being called that.

His cheeks were looking more purple by the moment.

It wasn't like he wasn't aware of how he looked. It was just that he wasn't used to having attention called to it. And now it was. And suddenly, that was the most important part of the greeting, because with the way Johnny was standing, that little smile on his face... he was rather reminded of his own Sire.

His voice came out in a breathy little "hello"-sounding note, and he looked caught, trying to figure out what to add to that. Feel free to mistake the nervous tension for something else, while that blush deepens and he tries to give a smile back.

((honestly, I was thinking to tag Johnny's sword-practice log but kept re-writing it too much, and... now you've beat me to tagging with this, and this is way more amusing to me. XD Hopefully it is to you too? ♥ ))

Johnny chuckled at the reaction; the blushy ones were his second favorite, right after the righteous indignation and fluster-y ones. " Hello to you too. You're even cuter when you blush~"

He flashed another, teasing, smirk and then decided to let the man off the hook...for now.

"So, what does one draw when at a party and people watching, hmm~?"

((I wouldn't have minded, but yes, this is much more amusing! I apologize now for how much of a forward flirt he is.))

"Um.... people?" he managed, willing for some of that blood to leave his cheeks and go back to making his brain work again. Nothing doing, though; they remained a vivid purple.

Feeling he should be saying something else, but unable to figure out what, he glanced back to his book, which held the last-mentioned subject on its pages, and held it up so that Johnny could see for himself.

He was only drawing with graphite -- a large pencil of some sort, was all -- on the off-white pages, a thick tome bound in brown leather, nothing that looked store-bought at all, but well-made anyhow, and old. The drawings on the shown page were of others at the party -- of Anant with Dionysus, of the various crowds of natives, of random people from the crowd. He was good; he'd had too much practice not to be. He hadn't drawn Johnny yet, though; he hadn't noticed him prior to being snuck up on like that.

((If you knew how much I torment my characters, you wouldn't apologize. XD This is great. +10 to Awkward!))
