HOTH | Day 5 (Evening)



The vibe is definitely more high school basement dance party than it is night club (or dance class), but hey, it's Delerth, and it's Hoth, so even if he's just thrown some colorful scarves over the lamp on the front desk, Hugh's decided that he's sick of his room and sick of the cold so on Night Five, it's an Impromptu Dance Party in the Lobby of Butler Hall.

If you're close enough to talk to Hugh regularly, he definitely told you about this and told you to invite people. He might have stuck notes on the bathroom doors mid-afternoon. Otherwise, anyone who wanders through is welcome to join. He doesn't have refreshments of his own, sorry, but if you bring drinks - you are his new favorite person. He'll have pushed whatever furniture there is out of the way to create a semi-decent dance floor. Hugh loves dancing. It's one of his major ways to relax, so he's kind of self-care-ing here, but at least a couple of people encouraged him to do it, so he hopes it'll help other people relax too.

As for the music? Well, it's all from Hugh's laptop - at least initially. His iTunes library stops around Oct. 2018 which was the last time he was home, and it swings heavily towards musicals and pop including stuff from the 80s, 90s, and a lot of dance-pop remix stuff. His tendency will be to queue up stuff that has a good dance beat and makes him happy (I'm not gonna make a playlist specific for this, but have a supremely unorganized Hugh playlist if you want an idea) There will be some Imagine Dragons thanks to Rey, and he's open to other things, you just have to bring it, and possibly the device to play it on.

The only real goal is to keep warm by dancing, spend time outside your dorm room, and enjoy some tunes.

"Next time we're somewhere with wifi, I can show you how to download music on your phone? No magic required." It's a little strange how everyone who arrives in Derleth manages to secure a phone, no matter where they're from. For some reason, that's only dawning on Julia now.

She doesn't say as much. It seems like a lot to put on Long John Silver him.

"Wifi?" He shakes his head, though he looks more amused than annoyed. "I have a lot of history and culture to catch up on." Small kindnesses weren't things that he generally let slip by unnoticed. It was true in his early days as a pirate and it was true now as he found himself in another position where he had to choose where to begin cultivating alliances. "That would be much appreciated, thank you."

"You'll get there," she says. "The library might have encyclopedias? Or maybe some history books? Could be a place to start."

Really, an alliance with someone who can cast magic isn't a bad idea. If she were shadeless, she would applaud your logic. For now, Julia's just having a pleasant conversation and sharing music with a one legged pirate that's easy on the eyes.

"It could be," he agreed. "I thought of it, and then I put it off because I am not sure I want to know what happened to myself and my counterparts. Perhaps I should skip volumes on the 1700s altogether." He paused, looking her over. "What year did you come from?"

"Might be wise," she said. Her expression brightened slightly when he asked about her time, "I'm from 2017. I think the majority of us are from around that time, but there are outliers."

"2017?" He had to pause and think about it. "Just over 300 years from my time. What was it like?"

Julia has to think about how to answer it.

"I guess you're seeing it? Running water, advances in medicine, different clothes, music. The cities are bigger, there's more people. The devices we have--" Julia motions to her phone, "--allow us to communicate almost instantly. There's more trade, I can go to a market and get all kinds of fruit and produce for pretty cheaply, any time of year..."

Julia paused to think.

"I mean, the easy access to clean drinking water is pretty huge."

Silver nods. "I'd have to agree there. I'll miss that the most if I get to go back. Alcohol is safer to drink in my time, a big part of why we're all drunk all the time."

"Yeah, that's probably not great for your liver," Julia says. "On the other hand, then you're sober for this." Julia sort of gestures vaguely. Maybe it doesn't seem so bad just then, but she looks tired in that moment. Her hand skims the basic ward and the spell is broken as the music and sounds of the party go back to their previous volume.

He shrugs. "I'd say that's the least of the worries of my time. If we aren't shot or run through or hanged, there's the tropical diseases." He blinks as the volume suddenly increases again. "Perhaps a coffee or a tea would be better right now."

"You want me to grab something for you?" she'll offer.

"So long as you get one for yourself." That look of tiredness didn't slip past him.

Julia smiles, even if her smile is tired. She gets up to look for coffee or tea (Caduceus would have the hook up). Please appreciate the modern clothing. Julia searches for a bit before she comes back with two red solo cups. No tea or coffee, but she did find soda. So. Enjoy the carbonated sugar?

Silver does absolutely appreciate the tight fitting clothing. When he is handed the solo cup, he inspects it curiously. "Strange..." He takes a tentative sip of the drink and nearly spits it out again, his face contorting into a look of distaste. "That is sickeningly sweet. And...bubbly. I don't know if it's going to agree with me."

Julia tries to hide her smiling expression behind her cup. It wasn't on purpose, but it is kind of funny. "It's an acquired taste? Dexter Hall has coffee and tea but..."

That's also a walk in negative degree weather.

"...At least it's caffeinated?"

"Is it? At what cost? Blazes, I feel like I just swallowed some kind of terrible tonic." He sniffs at it and the bubbles fizz against his face and he pulls back again. "This is a common drink?"

"Pretty common," Julia says. She sips it without issue. "Also a pretty decent mixer for alcohol."

"Well, then." He holds up his cup in a toast. "Slàinte Mhaith." Silver then downs another gulp, followed by a cough. "That'll take some getting used to. Feels funny going down." And that sweetness. Anything that sugary would have been an absolute luxury where he came from. It wasn't something his ilk had ready access to, that was for certain.
