[EVENT] - Medena's solstice

[marleneonthewall]

Who: Open!
When: Monday the 20th & Tuesday the 21st (post the day in your subject)
Where: The high school football field in Underwood, where Medena resides
Before/After: N/A
Warnings: TBA

[If Marlene has your phone number, consider yourself invited. If she doesn't have your phone number but has met you once, consider yourself run into on the street and then invited. (And then she probably asked for your phone number afterward.)]

[All the real partyin' is gonna be happening from twilight to sunrise, with some inn-owners volunteering the booze (they are not checking IDs ofc), some catering ala monster hunters and the bonfire, and a couple local bands volunteering some music--there's an even split of indie groups from Earth and performers that crossed over from Zen, even a few collaborations between them. Tip them if you like them!]

[This is pretty illegal actually, but nobody's going to try to stop them until the bonfire gets out of control late Tuesday night.]

[it was probably not called sunset anything, but it looked like one]

Oh. Oh yeah, she is... It's not too lonely, because of Rasmus, but I won't be able to keep affording rent.

But I'm sure it'll be all right if I keep an eye out.

[marleneonthewall]

[she looks a bit taken aback by that] You mean you'll have to move?

Can't you explain it to your landlord?

[missmarionette]

Maybe... [it's an answer to both] I think it's been hard for them too. All the strange repairs that need doing lately...!

But there aren't a lot of people willing to move in, I think? There must be some agreement we can make.

[marleneonthewall]

[hmmmmm she considers for a moment]

[she makes pretty good money doing guardwork, and it's kind of awkward at Lindsey's...]

What about if I moved in?

[missmarionette]

[!! Missie wishes she had that drink so she could spit take. she always wanted to do a spit take!]

Really?

But don't you, I mean--

You're serious?

[marleneonthewall]

[a spit take would've been amazing, this is a sad day]

Yeah, o'course I'm serious! Don't tell anybody, but [she leans in close and lowers her voice, looking a little conspiratory] it's a bit awkward with Lindsey, always feels so tense around 'er.

[missmarionette]

[Missie always wanted to be conspiratory too so this makes up for it. she leans in herself, matching Marlene's volume]

Is it...? I suppose a lot's been going on...

But! There's space now. Maybe not for the best of reasons...

[marleneonthewall]

[suddenly bouncy. missie is great, rooming with her sounds wonderful!]

Let's do it, then!

Oh! Wait, suppose I should talk to your other roommate about it, too, eh?

[missmarionette]

[Missie bounces too because bouncing!!]

Okay!

Oh. Oooh yes. We need to talk to Rasmus. But I would be surprised if he minded! Especially if we might get kicked out otherwise.

[marleneonthewall]

Alright then. I'll ask Lera first and then we'll talk to this Rasmus bloke. Sound like a plan?

[missmarionette]

[beaming]

The perfect plan!

[marleneonthewall]

Alright!

[pause]

I'll do it when I haven't been drinkin', though.

You wanna come point out that sunset thing you was talkin' about?

[missmarionette]

That may be wise!

[said too cheerfully]

[she leads Marlene to find the drink in question, which takes some wandering. but Marlene will be rewarded with orange-red-purple layered fancy drinks with tiny umbrellas]

[and it was good]
