party under the stars

[rugpull]

Who: Anyone
When: 10/4/2025
Where: Outside, track and field area
What: Party!!! FOOD! SWEETS!
Warnings: so much food

[Outside, under the stars, with lots of candles out for light

so many tables laden with sweet treats. One table of different pies--apple, pecan, pumpkin, coconut cream, blueberry

another for cakes! chocolate, angel food, carrot cake, red velvet, a cheesecake, coffee cake

and a third table with a tower of donuts alongside chocolately brownies, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, peanutbutter cookies...

So many treats. And a hyena sitting on the ground, donut in his mouth, looking up at the sky as the stars start appearing as dusk sets in proper]

[. . . snorts. takes the balloon cat]

Does this face have a name, too? Or are you still just Smith?

[presgarddihellis]

It's just makeup, so it's very much still just Miskatonic Smith under the makeup.

[ordimame]

I suppose this means Raven isn't really the clowning around type?

[heh]

[get it]

[clowning around. . .]

[presgarddihellis]

[paaaauses.

and then pulls out a much larger balloon cat. purple in color.]

When necessary. It is part of the Seer Pathway. Though it is easier to act when one can change their face a little more assuredly than with facepaint.

[ordimame]

[reaches for this balloon animal, too. give!! he loves cats!!]

That's one reason you swap between Smith and Raven, right?

[. . .]

. . . one of many, I'm sure.

[presgarddihellis]

I would think that was obvious at this point.

Is there a more specific thing you're wanting to ask after, Puck?

[ordimame]

[. . . . . . . . is he THAT OBVIOUS!!! slumps a little]

How was your hangover?

[presgarddihellis]

Dreadful.

It's been a long time since I've drunk that much.

[ordimame]

[an exasperated, breathless laugh]

I can't even remember the last time I got that sloshed. . .

[presgarddihellis]

... it's just not a very good idea for a Beyonder at my level to get that... distracted, I guess you could say.

[ordimame]

["DISTRACTED". . . though Puck does make an understanding noise]

. . . are you afraid you might do something you regret?

[or just lose hold of the strings that keep him upright?]

[presgarddihellis]

Even when I am acting as Raven, the chance for losing control is still there.

... in fact, the times I've half-lost control have happened frequently when I acted as him.

[ordimame]

[quiet for a moment as he considers this]

What sort of things ground you? Ground-- him? When. . . you get close to that happening?

[presgarddihellis]

Hm? Haven't I already shared that much?

Though I don't know if a drunken Arkham Raven is a good person to be dealing with just in general. You're lucky there wasn't a gun.

[ordimame]

[a small huff, but. touche. he has asked that question before, if in another way]

[makes a face!]

What's that supposed to mean? Surely you're not the type to whip a gun out on someone just because you're a belligerent drunk.






[lol]

[presgarddihellis]

Oh, I've pulled out a gun for even less when acting as Arkham Raven back home.

1/2

[ordimame]

[. . . brb thinking back to the way Raven manhandled him against the couch]

[. . . . . . . . .]

[ordimame]

Maybe you should work on those anger issues.

[says the guy with an INSANELY SHORT TEMPER]

[presgarddihellis]

Well met, Pot!

[ordimame]

[HAH]

[just. grins]

You know, I hear coffee can be a pretty good hangover cure.

[that's an old wive's tale and he knows it]

[presgarddihellis]

Even the instant coffee?

[ordimame]

[this thread is technically mid-fundraising game, SO--]

For once, I've got something better.

Want to see?

[presgarddihellis]

See?

[well, obviously, if you're going to offer to show him something...]

[ordimame]

[with amusement]

See and taste.

[gesturing for this clown to follow him back inside!]

[presgarddihellis]

And taste.

How enticing.

[clown is following after!]
