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

[mogget_cat]

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)

"Yeah, it's tricky like that. That should be more than enough to keep you both out of trouble tonight, but if you need more, just come find me."

"I shouldn't think we'll spend all that much." Bonnie says. "Surely folk don't spend hundreds of dollars in one night?"

"Bon, daring. I've seem people spend more than that on a single bottle." He shrugs, mildly embarrassed. "I was adopted into high society. Shocked the hell out of me the first time I realise how much B was spending on some of his parties."

"Clearly they're people who ain't got nineteen children." Bonnie says.

"You've got a point there." Jay nods, waving down a lady offering face painting. "Hey Billie? Do you want your face painted?"

Re: Food and Drink, etc.

"I think she'd like that." Bonnie says. "Though she might go grabby hands at it."

Re: Food and Drink, etc.

The face painter laughs. "I'm use to that, madam." She takes a little toy from her basket that Billie can play with.

Pretty soon Billie has purple and green butterfly wings on her face.

"Why thank you." Bonnie says. "I'll try not to let her smear it right away."

Re: Food and Drink, etc.

[runningred]

The lady smiles as Jay tips her. "Oh, it won't smudge but you'll need make up pads to take it off."

"We'll get some from the bar."

"Good plan, thank you Jay." Bonnie grins. "Are you gonna escort me round the town?"

Re: Food and Drink, etc.

[runningred]

"Gladly." Jay grins. He lifts Billie onto his hip and holds an arm out to Bonnie.

{ooc: shall we fade there? Thank you, that was lovely.}
