Spring Break, Cyseal, Saturday Evening

[endsthegame]

'Twas the last night of the spring break trip, and the locals were gathering on the theater grounds for a traditional feast.

Notes were hung up in the tavern, asking visitors to please come dressed in local clothing for the night, and if at all possible, procure some kind of mask.

(There was also a very pointed note asking them not to pluck any of the chickens.)

So that was a thing.

King Crab Tavern

[endsthegame]

This large inn is a beautiful construction of ornate brickwork, with flowers hanging off of every available surface on the outside.

King Crab Tavern - Rooms

[endsthegame]

The rooms are upstairs, modestly outfitted but spacious. There is a double bed or set of twin beds in each room, a bath with a privacy screen, a wardrobe (with time-and-place appropriate clothing included) and a desk. There are plenty of candles, and beautiful paintings hang off the walls.

King Crab Tavern - Common Room

[endsthegame]

Within, large red curtains separate the various booths and tables from the rest of the inn; while they are usually open, they may be closed if privacy is wished for. To the left, there is a large bar which covers the entire L-shaped curve of the back wall. There is the constant, comforting rumble of people chattering; the decor, the fireplace (with bear fur rug) and the candles speak of an intrinsic welcoming warmth. A grey tomcat wanders around the floor, sweet and clever.

King Crab Tavern - Bar

[endsthegame]

The bar does not just serve drinks (though in Cyseal, they are not particularly interested in age limits), but it also serves food for the guests staying at the King Crab. At this time in the evening, you can buy drinks, various dinner dishes composed of vegetables with beef or fish, mashed potatoes, Rivellon fries, pumpkin and cheeses.

Sit down on that bench one last time. Look up at the sky. Enjoy the stars.

Or make out. We won't judge.

Cyseal

[endsthegame]

The torches are lit all over town tonight, guiding the way towards the theater grounds.

Cyseal - Feast!

[endsthegame]

The theater grounds have been repurposed for a party! There's light everywhere, people in local dress are dancing, and about half of them are actually wearing masks.

Of course, this feast is taking place right near one of the local chicken enclosures, which means the birds are awake and running around, but eh. Who doesn't like partying with a chicken?

Cyseal - Feast! - Hang Out, Eat

[endsthegame]

Arrive, show off your fancy clothes, steal some cheese from the enormous spread! The crowd is a mixture of Cyseal locals and legionnaires, and the spirits are high.

Dante's hangover was at least twelve hours behind him now. So he showed up, swiped some drinks, and hit the crowd.

Last chance out here to have some real fun.

Kathy had grumbled a bit about never getting to visit an Asian-inspired fantasy world, but in the end had found a white dress that seemed both comfortable and a little ethereal at the same time. Her mask was just a simple white ribbon with holes for her eyes, dotted with seed pearls.

She felt pretty tonight. Light and airy. What a great way to spend an evening!

It was exciting, in a way Lucille hadn't expected. Most people here didn't know her, and she was unlikely to meet them again. Perhaps this could have meant that she spoke more freely to strangers, but instead she just wandered through the crowd, observing others and smiling to herself.

Bucky wasn't dressed too fancy, but not too shabby either. Kinda hard for him to judge his clothes in this environment, but he didn't feel like he had anything to feel ashamed of, at least.

And being who he was, yeah, he was making a beeline for the food. Force of habit.

Cyseal - Dance!

[endsthegame]

There's music. There's always music. And there's a large portion of the field set aside especially for dancing.

Sometimes the chickens join in. They are rather intelligent, for chickens.

Re: Cyseal - Dance!

It was possibly Ada's last chance for a bit to have the dirt under her bare feet, given how slow spring seemed to come to Fandom. So of course anyone would find her here, twirling with the other dancers, assuming they could identify her despite her mask and Cysealian dress.

The long dark curls were generally a good clue.

Cyseal - Perform!

[endsthegame]

Or if you dare, the stage is open mic again tonight. Sing a song! Perform an act! Pretend like the local musicians actually know the tune of 'We Will Rock You'!

Re: Cyseal - Perform!

[spin_kick_snap]

Again, last night here? Kathy saw no reason not to just, well, go for it. She bounced up on stage, white gown fluttering around her like angel wings for a moment, and started to sing.

Re: Cyseal - Perform!

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante let out a wolf whistle from the crowd purely because he could. Uh, encourage her, that was.

Of course, he was distracted again within moments.

Re: Cyseal - Perform!

[spin_kick_snap]

He wouldn't be Dante if he had focus for something that didn't aid in repression and no matter how good her voice was, she knew better than to assume that. She gave him a V-sign and then focused on finishing her song.

Afterwards, she hopped down again and made her way over. "What, no offer of refreshing beverage for your favorite superhero?"

Re: Cyseal - Perform!

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante had extricated himself from two really nice people about half a minute ago, so he'd had his chance to get about... halfway to the drinks table. He threw it a contemplative look. "Didn't know superheroes needed to get pampered," he said.

Re: Cyseal - Perform!

[spin_kick_snap]

"They do when they go up and sing in front of whole crowds of people they do," Kathy declared with a nod. "That's just science."

Re: Cyseal - Perform!

[rebelseekspizza]

"Is there an equation for that?"

Y'know, Dante was going to say he was tipsy and in a good mood enough to humor her, like, this once. "Booze?"

Re: Cyseal - Perform!

[spin_kick_snap]

"Drinks times fun equals Kathy squared," Kathy said, beaming at him. "Please?"

Re: Cyseal - Perform!

[rebelseekspizza]

"Fine," Dante relented, sighing. He pointed at her. "But just this once."

He swept towards the drinks table to get a big mug of some wine, topping up his own beer while he was at it.

"There," he said, wandering back. "Now down with the puppy dog eyes."

Outside Cyseal

[endsthegame]

The lava situation was defused, right?

Well. Kind of.

New flaming undead are beginning to spawn to the north, and the fires are spreading again. Not nearly fast or significantly enough to put a damper on tonight, but if you're more inclined to fight than dance, the locals will thank you.
