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.

Neil never failed to amaze her. Whether it was forming a secret poetry society or learning to swing dance or planning a play or organizing a company of actors...he did it, and he gave it everything he had. Carpe diem, indeed.

"And it'll depend on the play, I'm sure, and the time, and all sorts of other things like that, but I'll bet you'll get quite a few coming back, and plenty of new faces, too," she agreed.

"Mm-hmm," he nodded enthusiastically. "I mean... I know some people would rather do a tragedy, things like that." His tone was light, but the implication that he didn't count among them was clear. Neil had had enough of tragedies; let everyone get married in the end for a while, rather than everyone dying.

"But there'll be a next time! Definitely."

Rosella was determined to keep from putting a damper on the good mood, so a slight quirk at the corner of her smile was the only indication of her own distaste for the thought of putting on a tragedy. It wasn't that she didn't like them, exactly--because she did, she loved all of Shakespeare's works--but after seeing all of her friends so upset that day, she was sick to death of tragedy.

"I'm already looking forward to it," she said instead, keeping her tone equally light, and focused her thoughts on the triumphs of the evening, instead of on the trials of the rest of the day. "But for now, I think a celebration is in order, don't you?"
