MABON } 22nd September

[falsify]

The times, they are a'changing. But in this case, it's the same way they change every year. The 22nd of September is the Autumn Equinox, and aside from it being a great time for witches to get up to all sorts of shady shit with fae, it's time for the seasonal change in power between the two Courts. And in typical Fae fashion, this event is to be marked with a hugely ostentatious party. They've taken over Crystal Palace Park for a party that'll be going near on 24 hours. The trees are lit with twinkling lights, and many fae have chosen to forgo their glamours — some are indescribably beautiful, others monstrous, and quite a few... Well, they look more or less human, but obviously it doesn't bother them and it shouldn't bother you either! There is dancing, flirting, and laughter. And the drinks and food are free flowing. Slipping between realms is also extremely easy, but there's been strict instruction not to steal any mortals tonight or there'll be hell to pay. This also marks the first official appearance of Eames as the Lord of Autumn, (it's not something he could readily get out of, you see,) so expect plenty of gossip about how odd it is he seems to shy away from his title, his obsession with mortals, and how very un-Fae it is of him to cancel the hunt.
	The RULES are as follows: All vampires must have a fae chaperone. The open invite does extend to vampires, but we can't just have them walking around doing whatever they like, can we? In addition, drinking blood is strictly forbidden. Consensual or not, any vampire found drinking blood within a half mile radius of the park will be killed. It's just not good manners. Violence is also forbidden. It's just not fun for everyone. If you really need to have it out with someone, challenge them to a duel. The children's playground has been made into a duelling area with guards to make sure it all goes smoothly. There are weapons available and they're all very medieval.
That's about it, they aren't a very rule-heavy bunch and honestly just want to have a fun night.

Jean-Claude keeps his fingers curled around Daryl's jaw, his other hand trailing against the skin of the other man's arm right up until Daryl reaches out to stop him. Turning his face into the other man's hair slightly as the other man tips his forehead against his shoulder, intrigued by the way he reaches to fasten his hand in the front of his shirt.

He nearly missed what has happening, the other man was so subtle in his actions. Nearly. He cannot help but notice the jumping in the other man's pulse, after all -- he is a vampire. Nor can he miss, as Daryl starts and shoves him away, darting off into the distance and shifting as he goes, the subtle scent that lingers as he goes. If he weren't well familiar with such a smell, he might be more confused with what just happened. As it is, he flicks a softly curving smile in the direction that the other man had disappeared.

"Until next time, mon cher," he murmurs after him.
