the shadow before

Who: Zania, Gabriel, Nic, Lem, Vex, Shane, and Reza
Where: The Castell's Backyard
When: Night, Thursday, June 21st

Zania had been looking for a reason to have a fire party and when she realized that the summer solstice was upon them, she decided the timing was perfect. She was already going to have to close off the backyard to potential onlookers, so why not celebrate while refreshing the wards? She and Nic sectioned off the property, creating a basic glamour to hide the activity within, then built a large bonfire in the back. She put out several bottles of wine, some finger food for anyone that was feeling hungry, and brownies and cookies, being careful to label which brownies had more than sugar in them. It was a small group, not really a full fledged party, but she still felt obligated to feed her guests. It was a part of her upbringing that she couldn’t quite shake, a hostess even when playing with fire was the main event. And because she couldn’t stop herself, there was music, low in the beginning, but available if anyone wanted to dance.
