Milli-timed to Tuesday the 28th - New Orleans Mardi Gras

The bar room of Milliways is always full of sound - the clatter of dishes and clink of glasses, chairs being scooted back or further in, footsteps upon the floor, rats squeaking, the background murmur of conversations overlapping one another.

But tonight the main door to the bar opens to the mouth of an city alleyway, to a caucophony of noise and music, full of seething crowds and colorful parade floats, the smells of food and sweat and smoke and beer and those colorful fruity drinks sold in yard-long plastic glasses with umbrellas in them. Mardi Gras is in full swing and New Orleans has outdone itself this time.

Yrael enters, trailing laughter from a section of the crowd on the other side. His white hair is decorated with purple, gold and green feathers, his pale face partially hidden by a sharp, glittery cat mask of gold, behind which his green eyes are bright. Over his white shirt this evening he wears a shiny waistcoat of purple, gold, green, and black. It's clearly party time, big time, show time -

"And then some!" he grins, seeing Milliways. "Fat Tuesday is upon us, Milliways! Welcome to Mardi Gras! Come, dance, explore! Laissez les bons temps rouler!"

Yrael will make sure the door stays open for any party-goer who would like to partake in the joie de vivre, and the Bar can certainly provide a change of costume...



(ooc: The post will be open all weekend and into next week as needed! Usual party-thread guidelines apply! Tag in! Threadhop! Meet new people and get into trouble! :D Yrael will be around, but his mun will not be able to tag much until Monday evening. <333333)

The other people on the float are wearing pastel zoot suits, so it's easy to notice Emcee moving and dancing with them. He's even joined their efforts throwing handfuls of silver confetti and chocolate coins into the crowd, raising cheers and whistles.

He watches for people trying to get his attention. A peacock-feathered woman blows him a kiss. So he gleefully tosses some confetti and coins into the air toward her like a sparkling rain. It's in this half-second that he realizes that the peacock is Sinric.

"Sinric!" he calls out with a wave.

Sinric laughs and dances towards the float, helped up by another party goer.

He kisses Emcee's cheek and steals a handful of confetti. With a trick Seimei showed him earlier, he throws it in the air, turning it from purple and green to shimmering gold.

It forms a V-shape in the air, accentuating Emcee's wings. It hangs there for some moments before fading away like spark from a fire.
