ɪ. ᴡᴇʟᴄᴏᴍᴇ

Congratulations, you've made it to the Good Harbor Beach September barbecue! With the weather cooling, but still pleasant enough, it's a pleasure to have a hangout involving ADI's residents and those who live at Bonnie's. There are still so many people who don't know one another, and many to strengthen bonds with, so the hours your dearest Wanda and Ren spend cooking and flipping and seasoning are nothing but rewarding! Seeing people enjoying themselves is great and it's motivating for them to keep doing these encounters every now and then.

On the menu, we have:
- Burgers;
- Steaks with jacked potato sides;
- Ribs;
- Zucchini-and-Pecorino fritters;
- Several different salads, including ovcharska;
- Aubergine kebabs with charred onion salsa;
- Salmon yakitori;
- Takoyaki;
- Cupcakes
- Apples and honey;
- Cherry dumplings;
- Sarmale filled with rice;
- Bundevara (pumpkin pie);


For drinks, there's a selection of alcohol, as well as coffee, water, tea, and a variety of sodas. Take in the nice view, jump on the ocean, sink your toes in the sand and enjoy yourselves. There aren't any usable tables, but there are several blankets on the floor for your perusal.

With bellies full, now it's when the real fun begins. There are a few decks of cards being passed around, as well as one of their single tables now organized to a beer-pong competition. Individually, games such as Never Have I Ever, as well as Truth or Dare can be seen, and those who wish to use their skills for entertaining are more than welcome to do so.

A little bonding here, a little drunken chatting there, this is your time to shine!

With those who have a curfew to worry about in mind, a bonfire is lit, and a few tents are set around the beach (may have to be shared). If anyone's got a nice story, now it's the time to share it, or perhaps if anyone can play an instrument, it's about time to break it out of its case. The night will be lively until the early hours of the morning, and of course, mindful of those who couldn't stay up this late.

The next morning, everyone will be properly thanked for their attendance and tupperwares will be distributed with leftovers for those who'd like to take some food home, the beach will be cleaned impeccably and everyone will go their own way, hopefully with smiles and a new sense of unity and connection from the amazing night they've just experienced.

"What I've noticed, in terms of weird things happening is more tied to my magical items than my own abilities. Though...I've noticed I've been able to get some energy to do things, ahm. I got some at the circus."

He seems a bit unsure if he should be talking about it at all.

"I got some at the circus too." Gojou looks interested. "What did you do to get it there? Scare some people too?"

He figures that might be it.

CW: brief mention of injury

[guildmastermind]

"I may have pushed a little far while questioning Pyre. Managed to make him nervous. More than nervous, even." He sounds like he feels guilty about that. "But I suppose it did let us learn some things about his nature."

He gestures at the healing burn scars on the left side of his face.

[120vision]

"...what did he do to you?" Gojou's eyes widen. Okay, so it's obvious what Pyre did, but not how he did it. He's just not making that obvious in his question.

[guildmastermind]

"He apparently turned partly or completely into hot wax, when he became upset. This is from him slapping me." Educational, right?

"Wax is a bit of a theme, a through-line in what we've been looking into with the circus. Someone found an unreasonable amount of beeswax candles in Fenix's and Penny's personal train cars. And the Smoke and Mirrors circus traveled with a wax museum."

[120vision]

"Wax, huh...?" He raises an eyebrow. "That's pretty interesting."

He considers the rest of it. "Is the Smoke and Mirrors circus that other train that crashed?"

[guildmastermind]

"Yeah, the one from 100 years ago. And mirrors, that almost seems to connect to the funhouse at this one. We haven't gotten all the connections lined up neatly to make sense yet, but it's clear they are connected."
