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.

Scrimmy is coming to the loch because she loves her pal Nessie and probably gets into a conversation with Trevor where she makes sure to inform him (as if he didn't already know) that "Nessie was once tiny too!!"

Even if that kelpie has been giant sized for many many years.

She probably also keeps glancing at Gwen flying because well...she kinda assumed their esteemed PR person didn't know how to. What else can she do that they don't know? What other secrets does she hold? Do they even want to know?

Trevor would love to have a conversation with Scrimmy about kelpies and their life cycles and diets and idk mating habits? He's a naturalist, okay! Dragons are his job but he's interested in all the beasts. Trev is great.

Oh Scrimmy <3 Gwen's a Parkin! Of course she can fly. She just chooses not to. And she can do everything else, too. And knows everything, and sees everything. Don't question it, just trust in her absolute power.

She wants to know ALL about tiny dragons! And tiny kelpies! TINY VERSIONS OF BIG FEROCIOUS THINGS! Also she's really liking Trev but man he seems so different from his wife. What do they even talk about?

Look that's LOGICAL but Gwen is this mysterious unstoppable force who makes things come to her, Scrimmy just can't IMAGINE her doing anything other than looking imposing at a desk or in a meeting. This is tripping her out. (I mean she's probably a little buzzed at least right now too)
