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.]

I didn't forget. I remember what happened that day. I know these aren't real bodies, but dying still hurts, and it's terrible. [He remembers both of his deaths vividly: being turned into a mermaid and then slowly drying up once he'd beached himself--then being torn apart by a monster. He doesn't want any repetitions of such things, not for anyone, if it can be helped.] I don't want anyone to die, even if their bodies come back.

[He nods.]

I'm going to look, but if there's nothing... I'll have to keep living with it. I have to accept it. I can do that. So don't worry about me too much.

[ Rin promises to herself this very moment that if there's no one who can help him, then she'll do the deed herself. ]

Augh--you can't just tell me to not worry about you.
