Party tiiiime

CHARACTERS: All the people.
LOCATION: O2 Gardens.
WARNINGS: Drunkenness and things.
SUMMARY: Thranduil made mead. This is as good an excuse as a wood-elf needs to throw a party.
NOTES: The announcement was made here, three days ago. The invite is totally open.



The Elvenking has designated a specific clearing as the "party circle." Really, there should be a fire and lanterns, but those are bad ideas on a space ship and Ned would go nuts, so he has made the area look as festive as possible. Meaning he has thrown down a few blankets and propped up the cask of mead on a sort of quadripod. Food is laid buffet-style on one of the blankets--breads, meats, fruits, hearty cooked root vegetables, cheese, butter, and honey among them, plus whatever the other guests brought (Thranduil's provided food is pretty low-prep).

The mead itself is very good, clear and smooth and sweet. But for those who aren't crazy about sweet wines, no matter how manly and traditional (and potent) they are, others have brought other forms of booze. Someone is playing music to dance to at any given time--harp, drum, fiddle, and flute in various combinations.

Have a good time.

"It is. And there is good ale to be had, and music as well." Fili smiled. "Do you have an instrument? I have a harp, if you need to borrow one."

"I have one of my own, actually." He moves to unloop its case from his shoulder to demonstrate.

"Excellent!" Fili gave a nod, impressed by the craft work. "Tis a very worthy piece--and one I am more than willing to match in song."

"Then let us sing!" He smiles and bends down to open the case and pull out the harp to tune it.

"I fear we may have to make a new song, together--for I know very few elvish songs, and I am quite sure you know no dwarven ones." But Fili did not mind--he was a quick study.

"Actually, I know a few, but they're more songs of war than anything else. I'd rather learn a few lighter ones. But new songs are just as good!"

"Well..." Fili thinks for a moment, and starts to chuckle, "How about a song about all the things a good friend hates?"
