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.

The play had pushed the specter of Neil's father almost completely from his mind; he'd been aware of the illusory gaze, at first. But as the play went on he forgot everything else, his entire world contracting to the stage before him.

By now, he was in too good a mood to let his father ruin it, and the smile he had for Youko was genuine.

"You were, too!" he said brightly.

Really? She looked slightly flustered. She would have preferred a smaller cameo as a male character with an outrageous costume, but she didn't mind the role she had be given. Few lines, Amazonian Queen, something she could play. If wasn't for the marriage theme, she could have just played herself.

"Because I didn't have to open my mouth a lot. But thanks," she replied. "Soo, what now?"

"Just because your part was quieter, doesn't make it any less important," he said-- smiling, but serious. "Now... well, there is still a party."

"Party. Huh, just for us?" Youko wondered aloud. "I have a couple of friends outside. I need to give heads up if I'm going off with the rest of our troupe."

She paused, still debating if she should bring this up or not. "How do you feel?"

He laughed, shook his head. "Blair's party, I mean. If you plan to go." Neil hadn't been certain himself, but he was too awake to consider heading home, too pleased by his success.

He sobered a little at her question, but rallied quickly, shrugging it off. "I'm fine. Better than fine. Everything's gone so well."

Social events... Youko nodded. "I'll check out with my friends first," she answered. She didn't particularly cared for big parties, but if her friends wanted to know more people. "Are you going?"

She noticed the brief flicker on his mood. "I had to check. You're such a good actor I couldn't tell if you were for real or faking it."
