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.]

[She smiles, but the expression is wry.]

Mm... Normally I'd say that's a pessimistic way to look at things, but in a place like this, I imagine you're probably right.

[neverbeamemory]

Hmph. Inevitable.

[He cast a sweeping glance around, to keep his guard up and then looks back to Claudia.]

Only it's creeping closer faster now that we're being squeezed.

[sicharia]

It's true. We aren't allowed much time to wallow. [Her dry tone remains.] We either swim or we sink.

[Sephiroth does his very best to keep his tone as flat and emotionless as is practiced. He's very good at keeping it all under wraps though recently his stern control is starting to fray at the edges.]

Some of us have been swimming all along. Only there is a very strong current to swim against now.
