The time has come to remember, both to mourn and to celebrate. A bonfire flares bright and friendly, inviting all to come and share stories about the places that are now gone.

Bonfire

[pullsneedles]

Come sit and share the stories of the past.

Autor's there, sitting on his carpet, with his arms wrapped around one knee and his nose buried in a poetry book.

Re: Bonfire

[pullsneedles]

"Ah, that's neat!" Lucas chirps about the carpet hovering above the ground.

Sherral was - unsure about coming, for much the same reason that he never visits the barracks' chapel, and rarely visits the memorials.

But there's no harm in settling by the bonfire, after all. It gives him a break from paperwork and training and all those other things that might otherwise fill his time.

Re: Bonfire

[herr_bookman]

"'Lo, Sherral," Autor says, dropping down off of his carpet. "Glad you could make it. How are you?"

Re: Bonfire

[pullsneedles]

A young teenage boy sitting nearby waves to him.

"Hello." He thumbs over to the food setup. "Want anything to eat?"

Re: Bonfire

[a1enzo]

"Hey, man. How's it going?"

Ichabod steps up and sits quietly, thinking.

Re: Bonfire

[pullsneedles]

Lucas waves to Ichabod, inviting but not wishing to disturb him.

Re: Bonfire

[herr_bookman]

Autor would prefer not to disturb him either, so he waits patiently beside him, hands clasped behind his back, to be acknowledged.

Re: Bonfire sorry for being late!

Duster arrives at the bonfire some time after the bonfire starts, first dropping off his newly-tuned bass at a safe location nearby, then sitting down next to Lucas.

"It's been a while since I've seen a village bonfire. Well, this isn't really a village, but Milliways is kinda the same thing, right?"

Re: Bonfire

[pullsneedles]

"It kinda is," Lucas agrees. "I didn't know if I'd like it so much, but it's actually really nice."

Food

[pullsneedles]

Sunshine guaranteed Lucas that the party would be provided for, and the spread is certainly impressive. Someone even thought to grab ingredients and skewers for s'mores, because what's a bonfire without them?

Re: Food

[street_sparrow]

Gavroche is drawn partly by food, partly by curiosity about what the party's about if anything.

Re: Food

[pullsneedles]

"Oh, hi Gavroche," Lucas greets, waving. "Y'can help yerself if you like."

Re: Food

[herr_bookman]

Autor drops down off of his carpet, waving. "Hello, Gavroche. Glad you could make it," he says, adjusting his glasses. "It's been a long time."

Re: Food

[a1enzo]

"Hey, Gav!" Enzo calls while spearing a cubical digital marshmallow.

Re: Food

Playing the bass does get tiring, and even musicians need to eat. From time to time, Duster walks over to grab a sandwich or a handful of crackers and cheese. With lots of extra cheese.

Music

[pullsneedles]

A small area is cleared, ready for any jam sessions to break out.

Re: Music

[herr_bookman]

Autor's skill is in the piano, and he didn't request for one to be dragged out here, so he's waiting for--and curious about--anyone with other instruments to play them.

Re: Music

[mindofathief]

Duster takes his bass out, which was tuned before he left for the bonfire, now wearing a brown afro wig.

He's playing a slow, quiet blues line as he watches the fire.

Security

[shufti]

Enzo had asked her if someone could keep an eye out and check everyone was okay - so Shufti has left CJ babysitting and is hanging out somewhere on the periphery, watching the proceedings.

Re: Security

[herr_bookman]

"Hello, Shufti," Autor says, dropping down from his carpet to greet her. "How are--why, you're not pregnant anymore!"

Re: Security

[pullsneedles]

"You are the Security person?"

So asks the young teenage boy nearby. Not accusingly, just honestly curious.

"Thank you fer comin' out here."

Re: Security

[a1enzo]

"Hey, Shufti! Thanks for your help."
