Midsummer Bash

[puppy_lancer]

Characters: Lancer, the people he invited to the party, and everyone else who wants to stumble in
Setting: Floor 25, July 5, afternoon
Format: Open
Summary: Lancer throws a party for midsummer, since the Tower obviously needs a breather.
Warnings: None so far.

[To be honest, Lancer wanted to have the party in the evening, sometime around twilight. That would have been the most romantic time for it. Unfortunately, when in the Tower, one had to account for things like monsters. As a result, he had to hold it during the afternoon. But it wasn't too bad of a compromise.]

[This was, of course, a more simple affair than Diarmuid's birthday. For food, he had hauled a couple of tables up here and lined the table with dinner food. The centerpiece was a cake which had a heart drawn on it in red frosting. In one corner of the meadow, he had used some boxes and tarp to make some sort of booth where people could hide from the sun (and steal kisses off of each other). In the center of the meadow, he had piled a large stack of wood, perfect for lighting a bonfire by the party's end. The structures had all been surrounded with wreaths made from the meadow's flowers.]

[As soon as he's done with the setup, Lancer will sit down next to the firewood pile, waiting for people to come.]

Hey, Tetra.

[Lancer greets her]

You're a little early. Wanna help me with some of the decorations?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

I wouldn't have come otherwise! Jus' tell me what to do~

[She's good at running, climbing and jumping.]

[puppy_lancer]

Help me line the table with flowers, will ya?

[He plucks a flower and goes to the dinner tables.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Sure, okay!

[She's grabbing a few herself andtagging along right after him, eying how he's doing it before working on another part of the table.]

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer has no particular pattern for the type of colors of flowers. All he cares about is putting them neatly into a border around the plates.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Unsurprising, Tetra makes no attempt to make a pattern either. She does however get them to look very neat around the plates like he's doing. She even goes back to find smaller flowers to fit into any small gaps that are too noticeable.]

[puppy_lancer]

[Once his half seems done, Lancer steps back to survey his handiwork. He then looks over to Tetra's side.]

Woah! Yours looks even better than mine!

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[She gives him a quick smug look before laughing a little.]

Well pirates can't do anything halfway, can they?

[puppy_lancer]

[He surveys her plates to see what the difference is between their arrangements. Upon finding it's because she has flowers to fill the gaps, he starts picking more flowers.]

Neither do knights.

...So this knight is gonna learn from this pirate. Just for today.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Just today, got it. Although I might surprise ya another day.

[You never know what Tetra might be able to teach people. Thinking on it though, there probably really isn't anything.]

[puppy_lancer]

I'll be eagerly waiting on that surprise, little lady.

[He starts filling in the spaces in his flower arrangements.]

Just don't let me surprise you first.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

We'll see what happens, huh?

[Maybe she can find out if he's any good at pickpocketing. Link never even noticed when she slipped the stone in his pocket.]

[puppy_lancer]

...No more pranks on Ganon, though. At least, not obvious ones.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Oh yeah, definitely. That was... pretty dumb last time. We can do a lot better if we ever try again.

[puppy_lancer]

Did he ever find that ice cream, though?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

I dunno. He had to though, otherwise there'd be a gross mess all over the mailboxes.

But we didn't hear any yelling... [She had actually been looking forward to that.]

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, too bad. Maybe he decided to take the ice cream's advice and eat it while crying?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[And then she's laughing. Good and hard.]

Maybe! I would'a liked to see that!
