Dylan's 15th Birthday Bonfire



Toplevel Prompts:



  • SETUP

  • (CLOSED to Dylan's housemates & anyone who might have showed up early to help prep)

    Setting up for the party beforehand.




  • FOOD

  • Autumn has set in. The daytime is cool, the evenings are chilly, and there's a bonfire roaring in one of Diana's fields. Dylan's been prepping food for the party all morning — There's sausages, s'more supplies, and shish kebabs stacked with meat & vegetables. There's even some sweet potatoes! He saw a video on Japanese street food and wanted to try cooking potatoes on the fire in foil.

    As for drinks, of course water and soda are available, but he managed to borrow some coffee urns from a kind caterer in town in exchange for a little manual labor. Now he's got a great setup for hot coffee, hot chocolate, AND hot cider all evening!

    There's also a VERY large sheet cake for serving later. He'd been offered a brain-shaped cake, but the pictures had been a little too realistic, and he didn't think he (or the guests) would find it all too appetizing.

    Though he's a little afraid the brain cake is still coming out, whether he likes it or not, but the sheet cake will be what he uses to blow out the candles, thank you very much.



  • SWORDPLAY

  • One of the gifts Dylan received was a real-life sword from Diana! He's been taking lessons from her and is ready to try it out. There's a little clearing a little ways from the bonfire where he's trying it out. If you want, you can come and spar — with Dylan, with Diana, or even with each other. With swords, sticks, or even with fists!! Come join the impromptu Fight Club.

    EDIT to add: there are real AND wooden swords available for sparring, as well as wooden & straw dummies to practice on as well!



  • GAME TIME

  • There are frisbees, a football, soccer balls, even a ninepin set?? Do you have these games in your world? There's all kinds of fun sports gear available. Or you could grab something at random and start a game of Calvinball.



  • FIRESIDE

  • With the daylight fading, the fire becomes the center of activity. As you roast marshmallows or weiners (or grab one of those potatoes out of the fire) everyone huddles around, seated on rocks, stumps or lawn chairs as we all sing songs and tell stories.

    Any spooky tales from your homeworld? Any songs you'd like to sing? Dylan had gotten a few guitar lessons from Jaskier before he disappeared, so if you start singing, he'll try to follow along with chords!



  • FIREWORKS

  • oh my god who brought those. please don't set any crops on fire. EXTINGUISHERS ON STANDBY.



  • WILDCARD

  • Any Standard Bonfire Activities I've forgotten, go ahead and throw them in!




  • After-Party Sleepover
  • (CLOSED to Dylan's housemates + Nico, Will, Hunter, Hibiki, and Chris Yukine)

    Six teenagers sleeping on couches & air mattresses in the living room, watching movies... what crimes will they commit?

    [Jason caught on early that Chris has been staring at him. He too finds her familiar but isn't entirely sure yet what it is.

    For a short while he plays dumb. It's important to play the innocent civilian act lest anyone gets suspicious of who he really is. Then, as he gets himself more food he smiles at her]

    Great party so far, huh?

    [ Oh geez he's coming over. Time to start making like she hasn't noticed him at all. ]

    Eh? Yeah, sure, I guess. First party of its kind that I've been to, frankly.
    robintohood: (Never gonna try to)

    [Chris's voice and her face shape are coming off as very familiar to Jason. He continues to feign innocence though]

    Yeah, I don't go to a lot of these either. It's nice they were generous with the invitations.

    [Which is the truth. It's been years since he attended a birthday party]
    trustheart: (339)

    [personal profile] trustheart 2022-10-18 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ She nodded, continuing to play it cool. ]

    Like, I've been to birthday parties, but none with this many people I don't know. Small, private affairs with friends, y'know?
    robintohood: (And a villain)

    [personal profile] robintohood 2022-10-19 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
    Yeah. More of a hangout than a full party. I've been to bigger shindigs too but I prefer smaller gatherings. Quality over quantity you know.
    trustheart: (155)

    [personal profile] trustheart 2022-10-29 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Chris nodded. ]

    I suppose that's what I prefer too. Though...I'm not against a chance to meet more people, especially now that I'm here.
    robintohood: (I don't ever want)

    [personal profile] robintohood 2022-10-29 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Hmm...]

    You're new in town?

    [ She looked to the side. ]

    I'm from Japan.
    robintohood: (I have my flaws)

    [personal profile] robintohood 2022-11-04 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Jason nods]

    Has it been much of a culture shock so far?
    trustheart: (030)

    [personal profile] trustheart 2022-11-07 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
    Not too much. The biggest difference here is how everyone is so frank and familiar. But then I already have a couple of friends that are like that, so.

    Yeah, us Americans are kinda lacking in certain departments. At least you're used to it.

    [Jason remembers all the etiquette lessons Alfred gave him that most Americans wouldn't have known]
