CLOSED | Dylan's 15th Birthday
Who: Dylan Brock ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
codicies, his housemates, and those invited to the party — which is pretty much everyone he's had a positive interaction with.
What: Dylan's 15th birthday party, a bonfire cookout!
When: October 8
Where: Home of Diana Prince in Little Love, KS
Content Warnings: none (but will label things if asked)
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?

[Six walks over.]
Unless it's been sitting in water since then, should have dried out by now. I'm going to need some tinder. Paper works well. Also some small sticks we can feed a spark once I have it going. Even if the larger wood piece is damp, building up a small flame into a larger one will help dry out the wood so it can catch.

( how is he so knowledgeable??
eddie doesn't even have the wherewithal to get up and get the items as requested. he's too busy try to tell if he gets any boy scout vibes from this guy. )

Survival training and random tests of that survival training. Master's favorite trick was to take me out on the pretext of a mission and then dump me out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but what I had on me and what I'd been trained to do. No special equipment since I might not always have that on me should I get into some sort of wreck. The goal was to survive, reach civilization, and then contact One for pickup.
[Let's see...some paper, some sticks both big and small, pine needles, a few twigs, and a nice dry open pinecone. That'll be especially helpful!]
[He goes back to where the man's...friend...had been trying to make a fire, starting to arrange things.]
The inclusion of the remote ignition termination system was a particular boon to these random tests. He didn't even need to be in the vehicle with me. Just track me on the GPS and kill the engine when I'd gotten to a location he thought would be a good challenge. [Six gives a slight frown.] It's also how he used to drill me in how to crash land a plane.
