MOON DAY BLOCK PARTY

MOON DAY BLOCK PARTY

Moon Day only comes once a year, and even if there are some lunar-phobic civilians in Vallo, most of them know how to throw one wild party. The next day clean up is usually nothing short of a neon, multicolored disaster.

Some of the flyers did indeed say "dress fly and catch these fresh beats", but others toted renowned DJs around Vallo's nightclub scene mixing all day long. Starting at noon and going until "moon down", the main square in downtown Vallo is set for a massive block party with street vendors selling moon-themed food and drinks, a light-up swing installation in moon-shapes to chill out, and music spinning between a complicated, and probably magic-conducted, laser light show.

Attendees were encouraged to wear clothes that showed their expressive tastes—think bright, think futuristic, think overly noticeable under blacklight, think if pop-punk ravers had their own Coachella. No one is going to be turned away for dressing comfortably, especially if they are going to be dancing the day (and night) away, but do expect to be given some kind of wearable or twirlable glow sticks.

DJ Ballpit, known for taking deep crooners and turning them into EDM earworms that fucking slap, is headlining the show, much to some other DJs' disappointment and jealousy. (Or that might just be because they are exes and notorious rivals.)

Around 10 pm (though it's hard to tell when the moon is out all day and time is a weird soup), DJ Ballpit will hit the stage with his first set. It's not until his highly-publicized second set that the record plays, though no one knows (yet) that it is the source of the widespread catatonic phenomenon.

The Moon Day Block Party is promptly canceled after that. Vallo has a long (long, long) night ahead of them. (At least attendees got a few hours of dancing and partying in.)

[OOC: And yeah, here's a playlist for the music played during the party.]

	You know the drill. Did you dance? Eat? Hang out the whole time? Feel out of place? Swing on the swing? IDK, put whatever you want here! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Lance came with Atreus! If anyone else went he'd chat and hang out and stuff. He had a very good time until it became a very bad time lol.

Rhysh was milling around as well. Dancing and checking everything (everyone) out.

Max would want to check it out with anyone from the ST crew if there's any interest there? But maybe earlier in the day before the bad things happen?

	Sabrina and Roz are definitely going so I think they'd both hang out with Lance and Atreus and Rhysh at some point during it! And Dustin will go if Max wants to go! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eddie would absolutely go with Dustin and Max! And yes, also on board for leaving before comas happen. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sabrina came with Roz. She drank, danced, chatted, and ate until everything went crazy. Once everything went crazy she probably called Thurvishar, Bonnie and Mel to give them the head's up in case they weren't around. Dustin will be going earlier in the day because it looks like Max wants to go. Pixie probably went earlier in the day too before the chaos! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Colt Vahn attended! He partied to the extent that you would expect him to party, that is, a lot lot lot. Hit me up if you want to be flirted with.

Rogier also attended out of a lot of curiosity; astronomy is its own sub-religion back home and he is very cool with the moon. He'd be friendly and ask a lot of questions. He also 900% did the swing.

Viktor attended with Jayce and Mel, and took one look at the proceedings and mentally went "woof" - this is so not his scene lmaoooo. He tolerated it only because love.

~~And none for Nick~~

AL came because music is cool, and Moon Day sounds fun, and this is overwhelmingly wild to his little 1969 self (also in the US it's actually Moon Day for when they landed on the moon, and Al is like... I watched that live? Obviously this is different, but you know.) He didn't go in full dress, but definitely ended up with some kind of glow stick necklace on. For plot purposes, he's probably not there when things go down. Brought Pete (Peel)? And Al was down to dance, though it was a lot of random jumping and really having no clue what to do.

DORIAN came for a little bit, since Chetney seemed cool with them not fretting and worrying over him during the ~moon~. And of course, this music is VERY different from the stuff he plays or has even listened to since he arrived in Vallo. Party, party time. He's not affected by music when things go bad later, but definitely there people started to drop. Cue blue-bard panic!!

I'll be back with more. :3

	Keith is the only one of mine that would have been dragged to this because he's a sucker for Shiro and also for plot purposes. They were there until things with Lance went down. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Guillermo is there with Nandor! And Nadja if she comes too! He totally fits in and this is clearly his scene, sweatervest and all. (he is actually totally into it and dancing and stuff until things go Badly)

Atreus is there with Lance! He is wearing a crop top with glow in the dark bodypaint and there is not-tasteful grinding happening with Lance on the dance floor sorrynotsorry. The panic won't set in until uh, later, obviously.

Steve will come and keep an eye on the kids and try to relax but he's Steve so he's more worried about protecting the kids. He will try to flirt around and has some cool shades on but Kids. Strange area. Weird shit. (Someone make him relax please.)

Jayce is there with Viktor and Mel! This is not really his scene either but he'll do whatever Mel tells him. He was really fascinated with the swing of all things. And cue "fix it science mode" when Mel goes down.

Gansey is there with the Gangsey! He's not cool, he's more like a suburban dad. So take that as you will. (He will do whatever Blue tells him to do. And Adam. And Ronan. He is a simp.)

Sydney will go, she wants alcohol and company, and thinks parties are great. She's probably my ~coolest~ of them and has neon purple hair, leather and fishnets decked out. She'll be having a good time until she has a Bad Time.

(I'm open to others and may already be forgetting someone sorry I have a lot 😂)

Roz went with Sabrina! She danced, vibed, had a great time. Whe the crazy started she was able to sense some shit was going down. It wasn't quite right, and see people impacted, but doesn't really know what's causing it or what is happening. Will attempted to be helpful.

I think Lauren will check it out, she hasn't been to a party in a while. She will be looking for any of the other 18 ish people she has spoken to so far, please be her friend.

I may be back with more

Adaine will have probably stopped by at some point, maybe bringing Fabian if he wants to go, Sara? This isn't totally her scene, but she likes food and will probably chat with friends and wallflower during dancing and such things unless someone talks her into it. She definitely didn't not dress the part, but allowed for glowsticks and what have you to be adorned upon her.

Orym is having Moon Feelings, so he would have tagged along with Dorian for distraction purposes once Chetney seemed fine. Generally not his scene, but he would have let loose a bit and just had a good time until things went wacky. He also was not dressed accordingly, but what can you do.

Pete was there, too! Again, probably not dressed properly because he doesn't really know how to do that. My characters are nerds. Anyway, he would have had a fun time and left whenever his brother did, so as to not ruin the fun of the plot. ;)

Vax would have maybe gone by for a bit at some point? Just to see what it was about. He'd have tried to talk people into going with, so feel free to use him as your reason if you want. He accidentally was dressed correctly, once he got some glowing additions.

Mel came with the Arcane crew and potentially stuck out like a sore thumb. This is a little more HIP than her classy experience BUT she's good at making small changes to fit in and she's surprised to find she enjoys the music. Until it messes her up anyway.

Ronan came with the gangsey and was super here for the music and maybe a dance or two but mostly the music. He'll be a bit of a wallflower until things go bad for Syd.

Shiro came with Keith and stuck around Lance and Atreus too. He'll drink a bit to loosen up and dance with Keith but the soft friendly drunk side will disappear pretty quick when bad starts to happen. He's very good at switching into paladin mode and taking care of people who are in trouble.

Nandor came with Guillermo and wants to EAT WHOEVER TURNED HIM INTO A ZOMBIE. He'll be a bit of a dramatic dork about this. He's not very good at handling surprise stress but his instinct IS to jump in and save Guillermo from danger so he might fly away with him?? IDK man. He's definitely carrying him somewhere safe at least.

	Fabian absolutely attended, going with Adaine and looking for anyone he's talked to since arriving in Vallo, really. He took full advantage of the food, swings, glowsticks, and dancing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Abigail is there, wearing a bright top to fit the theme - and still cover her neck. She spends most of her time people-watching and spent some time sitting on a swing. She'll talk with and dance with anyone who asks. She's a little awkward and shy as it's her first time at a party like this. If anyone around her goes catatonic and starts to fall, she'll catch them and lower them to the ground gently.
