Where: A secluded beach, conveniently accessible by a special magical portal set up by Razas (
notsogrimoire) -- no enemies can come through the portal, but anyone who comes in peace can come and go as they please.
When: Starting in the late afternoon Monday, running into the night and the following morning (but don't wait to tag 'til then! I am in fact posting this early to help facilitate timey-wimey shenanigans among those muns in far-flung timezones <3). Those who wish can camp out on the beach overnight!
Who: Any and all friends, neighbors, family members (and perhaps random strangers who have stumbled into the portal inadvertently?) As long as you're not here to do violence or cruelty to anyone else.
What: EPIC RAINBOW RUMPUS BEACH PARTY TIMES. :3
The beach is pretty much the perfect beach -- warm and sandy and clean, secluded from the rest of the world, with a surf that's just calm enough for swimming, wading, or other shenanigans. There's a huge pile of driftwood off to one end, near the cliffs -- well above the high tide line, just waiting for a bonfire to be started tonight. Some tents are pitched near the fire pit, and there's sleeping bags and blankets if you didn't bring your own.
Also laid out is a truly epic spread of just about any food you could possibly want or imagine. Fruit, the makings for s'mores, a couple of pigs for roasting, candies, vegetables, you name it, we probably brought it. There are, however, no hot dogs anywhere. It's a Rule. There's even beer and other alcohol, but only if you're Of Age, otherwise we're afraid Siobhan will give us the Look. And don't worry about the food going bad -- we've got magic users on that!
As for passing the time -- there's swimming, playing in the sand, plenty of shells and beach glass to look for. You can probably try climbing the cliffs if you're feeling adventurous. Simon (
dogeat_underdog) also rounded up volleyballs and a net, along with a random assortment of sporting gear for other games. There is, of course, a limbo pole. Someone probably brought a guitar or some other form of musical instrument, too, so there'll be a chance to sing around the fire.
IN short, this is the most epic of all beach parties, and you are invited. Come in, have fun, threadjack and tag around, start shenanigans, make new friends, enjoy yourselves. This is a chance to blow off steam from all the things that have happened recently, and to just celebrate the joy that is being alive.
