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...

[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!

"Pleased to meet you, Guybrush." Sephiran gave an equally sage nod in return. "Yes, this has been quite a strange time, hasn't it? There was the weather, and then the invasion of demons..." It was certainly the strangest winter Sephiran had experienced, and he'd experienced a great many. "Were you silenced somehow?"

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

"Er, something like that. Doesn't matter now. I'm 100% functional again." He nods sagely, taking another sip of the wine.

It might be your imagination, but he's starting to look a little see-through.

[thelordsage]

"That's good to hear." Sephiran noticed the change and gave Guybrush a strange look. "Something seems to be happening to you," he said, puzzled. "Are you... fading?"

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

"Who, me? Nah, I got HOURS of party left to go in me. That's me, Guybrush Threepwood, Party Pirate." He sips at his wine some more. Okay, you can DEFINITELY see people on the other side through him now.

[thelordsage]

"No, I mean... physically, you are fading. You're becoming see-through." Sephiran reached forward to see if he could put his hand through Guybrush, but ended up bumping into his arm instead. "But you're still physically there, so at least you're not disappearing or warping."

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

"What're you talk --"

He lifts his hand up to his face and yelps, dropping the wine glass. "Oh come on, I haven't even TOUCHED any crazy voodoo things in eons! What the heck?!" He pats himself down in a mild panic. "What's CAUSING that?!"

[thelordsage]

Sephiran's gaze followed the wine glass down to the ground. What a waste of good wine! "There's something magic here... I wonder if someone has cast a spell on you?" Meanwhile, Sephiran didn't quite notice, but his feet were no longer touching the ground... he was floating an inch above it.

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

"A spell, hmmm? Now who could possibly want to cast a spell like that on me? You haven't seen any rotting voodoo pirates or something around by any chance, have you?" He pauses, looking down. "By the way, you seem to have kinda lost contact with the forces of gravity down there. Might wanna do something about that."

[thelordsage]

"No, no I haven't-"

Sephiran then looked down. No, his feet were not touching the ground, and try as he might, he couldn't even get his tiptoes to touch the ground. "This is... odd, certainly. Some prankster must be going around casting spells on everyone."

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

"Must be pretty quiet spellcasting. Or maybe it's some sort of voodoo trinket." He rubs the back of his neck. "You know, if I weren't in a social situation that calls for visibility, this could actually be sorta useful."
