4th of July
Who: Everyone
What: Fourth of July party
Where: Garden in Queens
When: Sunday from 2pm to 12am
Warnings: let me know if I need to update
Status: party post

Even though Steve wasn't around to celebrate, Darcy planned a big 4th of July bash for all the residents of the Tower. It was a private event this year, not open to the public like years past, because she figured they would all appreciate that more. Of course, there was staff around, but at least folks could enjoy themselves without worrying about paparazzi or sycophants.

There was a fully catered barbecue along with beverages and desserts. And after sundown, they would have a great view of several local fireworks displays.

Oh. A silence shroud - that sounded tempting. Sometimes it was just so noisy in a menagerie of people, noisy as a hundred rattlesnakes - though Illyana probably would prefer the rattlesnakes to people, if she were being honest. "You will have to teach me that one," she said, knocking back her fresh-squeezed prickly pear lemonade - not all of it though, because she offered the cup to Doctor Strange if he wanted to test the results of her magical experimentation.

And she didn't have cooties or anything. It was perfectly safe.

"When can I come over again?" she asked then, and she supposed that actually asking was polite instead of showing up or simply teleporting over. But she definitely wished to be at the Sanctum frequently - she wanted to be around its guardian.

No cooties. Always a good thing.

He took the cup and tasted what she conjured, finding it sweet but tart, a pleasant aftertaste of the prickly pear lingering on his tongue. It wasn't a combination he ever imagined would work, yet it did. It was as complex as the young woman before him.

He handed the drink back to as he said, "I'll be somewhere else tomorrow. But if you want to teleport in around ten a.m. on Tuesday, I can teach you that spell."

Dark eyes lit up like stars. Tuesday wasn't so far away - Illyana could wait until then. "I will teleport in," she nodded, finishing off her lemonade - though her irises flashed blue and she refilled it automatically, with the liquid being blood red this time (the flavor was cranberry, probably, because apparently she just couldn't conjure a normal drink) so did she look like a vampire feasting upon crimson life force from a plastic cup?

Definitely. It was a good look for her.

She'd also probably need to eat something too, in order to offset the sugar she'd imbibed so far during these celebrations - maybe she'd grab another hot dog. "Will you watch the fireworks with me?" was her next question, looking up hopefully through sooty lashes.

There was a crooked smirk on Stephen's face at the blood red drink. She was learning swiftly, and she was adept at whatever she did. The red suited her, a young woman who thought she was a demon. It wasn't like she was trying to fight that image either. She embraced it, tinkered with it, probably questioned it...

It wasn't a bad thing. He did the same things too. It was probably part of wielding magic. Insatiable curiosity and imagination.

"Yes. Because I'm casting some spells to make them. Want to learn?" he asked, his smirk turning into a smile.

Casting spells to make fireworks sounded fun (maybe it was just the part about burning things. Fire. Loud crackles and colorful shapes in the sky). There was something about her grin and hooded eyes right then that suggested she loved to watch the world burn anyway.

"I would like to make fireworks with you," Illyana decided, smoothing her dress (so white, so pristine - prowling the party with liquid grace and beauty, searching for things to devour, as one did). "Are they silent fireworks? Some people do not like the loud noises."

She was not one of those people. Things that were bombastic were just fine for her.

He noticed that daydream gleam in her eyes and did a double take. She might burn the world down, but he doubted she was going to do that with firework spells. They were sparks and bedazzlement, but not as explosive as the real thing. It was safe to show her that, but maybe keep her away from anything else that could be highly combustible. At least for now.

"We can make them silent," he replied, "but I think people expect the noise. This way is better. Less air pollution too."

He took the time to explain the spell casting in great detail, hoping it didn't result in any broken windows or calls in to the NYFD.
