MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S PARTY
When; Evening, Sunday 21 June
Rating; PG
Characters; EVERYONE~
Summary; one not-so-summery midsummer's night.
Log;
You could call it being hard-headed, but Blair much preferred committed. They did set it to be this date, after all, and the next day would not be midsummer's day anymore. Besides, no one could tell when the snowstorm would end.
For the not-so-brave, there has been a tent set up on the side, all fitted with heaters on full blast. Stand in the heat, down your sangria and pretend it really was summer. But for the more adventurous ones, most of the revelry was still happening outside. The storm had subsided by the day before, and the blanket of snow looked festive enough by itself. Where else could you have a snow party in the middle of summer?
The play had just finished, with great success of course, and the people were now dispersing amongst themselves, eating and chattering. Blair, now with a checklist in hand, was standing by the corner, deep in one thought or another.
Long tables decked out with hearty foods has been set up, and yellow fairy lights lined the snow-laden trees. Under a great tree, a group of musicians were playing a rural dance song, but no one was dancing yet. It could be because of the corsets. The guests were mostly dressed in period garb, complete with large hats and puffy sleeves. Truly, if it were not for the speech, Shakespeare would have felt right at home.

POST-PLAY FOR THE ACTORS
She looks at her wrist watch for a moment and smiles.
"I have to go for now. Sorry I can't be at the after party... Maybe next time?"
POST-PLAY FOR THE ACTORS
That amused him-- the play had been arranged as a part of the party, merely an aspect of the entertainment-- not the other way around. Though it certainly felt that way to Neil, and doubtless, most of the other actors as well.
"Next time, definitely. Though I don't know yet what we'll be playing."

She waves at him as she went. "Congratulations again, Neil! Hope I can be of more help next time!"
And off she goes... but she does make sure to change first so as not to ruin her costume.
