WHO: The Pride (players and staff) and their plus ones!
WHAT: A Pride bonfire night in celebration of Guy Fawkes Day.
WHEN: Evening. Sunday, November 5th. Posting a little early so everyone has time to respond!
WHERE: Urquhart Castle and grounds




PRIDE BONFIRE AND GUY FAWKES NIGHT


Welcome to Bonfire Night at Urquhart Castle, where all wee Urqs once learned to walk, run, and fly. At first glance, the outside depicts a decrepit structure that Muggles enjoy touring when the weather’s nice, but the inside is a hell of a lot nicer. There’s a beautiful view of Loch Ness from pretty much anywhere you are, and the grounds are quite extensive. David knows his home is considered ‘large’ by most standards, though he’s really only been friends with families of a similar status. So he might feel a little awkward about this, but will take comments in stride and instead meet your incredulous expression with a fun fact about the castle to hopefully diffuse the tension. He’s trying really hard to be a good host, okay?

As an attempt to get to know the team better on a personal level, and to bond with them, David has been wanting to have them all over in a low-key setting. There’s food, drink, and blankets for anyone who’s getting chilly, despite the warming spell over the patio. Anything else you could possibly need, Bethoc is waiting eagerly to assist you. The loch’s about two miles down the hill, so you could walk to it, though it’s kind of a long trek if you’re feeling up for it. But by all means, please do. Pets are welcome, too! Don’t mind the family dogs milling about - and don’t feed those beggars even when they give you their best puppy dog eyes.

By the bonfire, there are prongs, as well as things to stick on them, like marshmallows and bangers, even, if that’s more your style. If you’re too sloshed to get home safe, feel free to crash in one of the Urquharts’ many spare bedrooms! Bethoc will be making breakfast in the morning, and she always enjoys the opportunity to feed an army. Not that that stops her when it’s only the six Urquharts, anyway.

TOR MCTAVISH starts choking on their food from laughter when they see ELLIE MACFUSTY trip and land face-first into a puddle. Luckily, GWEN MIRACLE saves the day with a fast “Anapneo.”

ALASDAIR BUCHANAN gets lost on the way to the bathroom and accidentally wanders into the music room where they meet the family ghost, Hamish Urquhart, from the fifteenth century. He was nine when he died, and is quite chatty. He’s thrilled to have someone new to play with.

SEBASTIÁN CAVALLERO eats too many s’mores and has to go lay down. MEAGHAN MCCORMACK takes the liberty of drawing on CAV'S face when they inevitably pass out because the couch is just too comfortable.

JOY WILLISON becomes starstruck when they meet Mrs. Agnes Urquhart, and gush over how they’re a huge fan of her records from back in the day.

MAGGIE MACDOUGAL has had a bit too much to drink, and strikes up a conversation with a gargoyle. They nearly piss themselves when it starts talking back.

Once they had some shots in them, SARA SCRIMGEOUR climbed up onto a table and started doing a jig, before she almost fell only for DAVID URQUHART to catch her just in time. They ~stare soulfully into each other's eyes~ before they're rudely interrupted by ALEC URQUHART. David puts her down and they awkwardly part ways and avoid each other for the next hour.

Well, he lives here, so he's been here the whole time, getting things prepared and whatnot, and ready to play gracious host even though he's a bit terrified. It's his first big event, guys.

Alec lives here too so he's around and doing his own thing, trying to stay out of the way. But he'll ask David beforehand if he needs a hand anywhere or to get him if he does later.

But he'll pop down for some food from the bonfire because how can you really resist that?

Cav loves this and he's very excited for it. He comes alone though. More fun to be had on his own, yeah?

Maggie's fashionably late as always but she's happy to be here! Please, yes, make a massive fire. It's not even sarcasm this way, she'll throw anything on that baby that she's allowed to.

Short of destruction of property, Maggie can toss just about anything into that thing.

Joy is actually on time, and comes bearing a hefty sack of fireworks with potentially alarming Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes tags on them. (Since Meaghan has dragged her to the shop and all.) "For later," she says. "And I guess probably outside? I dunno, your castle, your choice."

"Those'll be great, thank you for being so thoughtful." David takes them off her hands and stowes them away with Bethoc for the time being. "Once it gets properly dark, we can set them off."

Gwen and her hot husband are of course there because just try keeping Trev away from a legit castle bonfire party, and because Gwen feels the need to stop anyone from setting themselves on fire.

Gwen should feel free to bring her hot husband along to more things. The eye candy is always appreciated. And Joy probably got drunk enough to tell her that later. (*facepalm*)

David is such a proper little host! Gwen thinks it's adorable but she will try to treat him like an adult anyway. :P

Scrimmy comes on time! She's seen the castle at the season opener party but this is different, plus more exciting. A bonfire at a castle! How cool is that?

Ellie arrives a bit later in the evening certainly once the bonfire has really started going. She had thought about not coming, but knew she didn't to make an appearance. By the time she's arrived she already has a pretty good buzz on, but is definitely still in a bit of a mood.

Still, she is ~trying to be fun and everything is awesome Ellie. But there is definitely a different sort of energy about her, that only people who have known her while she was playing for Pride might be able to read. And warn others.

Also at one point she 100% stands a little too close to the fire, drink in hand, and mutters "fire cannot kill a dragon."

Welcome, coach! David is honored to have you at their little get-together, and tells Ellie to let him know if she needs anything. Otherwise, have fun setting shit on fire.

Meaghan comes on time because it's a BONFIRE and a party and why would you NOT. She shows up with a bag full of "Magpie shit" that she has totally not nicked of course not, why would you ever think such a thing. The bag is mostly merch but also includes these two signs.
