Who: Everyone!
What: The Summer Festival!
When: Friday September 18th - Saturday September 19th
Where: Stone Brick Park
Status: Ongoing, Open
Warnings: TBD

As summer draws to a close, the leaves on the trees at Stone Brick park are beginning to flare crimson and gold, and the sun is gradually getting lower in the sky. Out on the field, the residents of the Halfway House have set up tables for games and food, live music, and as the highlight of Friday evening, a live performance of Romeo and Juliet! After the performance, the cast and crew will be having an afterparty at the park. The celebrations will continue through Saturday evening, so come by the park this weekend, and close out the summer with a bang!

(OOC: Under the headers below, you can post your threads and narratives for your characters at the festival, during the play, and at the afterparty for the play.)

Koal | Scottwick

"Oh, yeah." Koal ignored the small mess-up and correction, blissfully unaware. "The language they were written in was Common, but it felt like...old Common. I don't know. Who uses 'thou' and 'hath' in sentences? Plus the phrasing of a lot of it...I hardly knew how I should act in the play." The oni shrugged. "I know I forgot some stuff, but the audience didn't seem to notice. I'm just glad it's over. The performance, I mean. Practices were a lot of fun. I'm gonna miss the cast."

When the music changed, Koal found himself doing a small little groove in the line. Inconspicuous, but this beat was pretty nice. He tapped his foot to the beat on the floor as he anxiously awaited their turn.

"If there's any losing around here, it'll be you doing it." Koal teased, grabbing hold of the microphone as their turn in line came. He got up on stage, his fright returning briefly for a moment as he stared blankly at the crowd ahead of them. It's just the cast. It'll be fine. Yeah. We've done stuff like this around each other before. I should be an expert by now. He glanced back at Scottwick. And I'm not gonna let him beat me in front of them!

An upbeat hip hop song started to play before Koal even had the chance to make a selection. He panicked momentarily as he put the microphone back on it's holder. Then Koal started to dance, he was careful with his footing as to not knock anything over. As he danced, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his oni mask. He did a headstand, then flipped from it, landing on his toes as he put his mask back on. His human disguise dropped and he was back to his pink haired normal self.

"Your turn."

"I was wondering what those words were. But from what I could tell you did a pretty good job!" Scottwick grinned and mirrored Koal's little groove. "Tech team was great, they're all really good people. And it was nice to be able to meet up for practices while it lasted. I certainly wouldn't mind doing it again if the opportunity came up."

Scottwick found the party energizing. With everything that happened recently, getting used to a new place, having Ginvorous in his head, and juggling classes with strict professors, he hadn't had much time to relax. It was nice to just spend time with Koal and unwind. Sure, he'd rather be a little tipsy...but it wasn't worth dealing with the nagging.

Koal's routine was phenomenal. Where had he learned to dance like that? Scottwick clapped loudly with the rest of the crowd, and offered Koal a high-five as they switched places. "You've set quite a high bar, Koal. The magic mask was a brilliant touch, I think!" He doubted he could beat something like that, but he'd rather eat his socks than not try.

The song changed to a number with a heavy beat drop and a quick melody. Scottwick showed off an energetic folk dance. It didn't match the music exactly, being made for offbeat harpsicords and fiddles, but he was able to adjust to the rhythm and kept up a long streak of rapid, intricate jig steps. He finished with a small bow and two-fingered salute to the crowd, then dove out the circle to meet up again with Koal, huffing from the exertion and giggling with delight.

"So I think you won that one, but for the sake of my pride, what do you say we put it down in the books as a draw?"
