Litha Feast (Open to all court members and human guests, dated for the 21st)

[detectiveofthewest]

The grounds were brightly lit and festooned with decoration: trees covered in sweet-smelling dew, leaves of gold and red, vividly-colored streamers woven with thread finer than spider's silk. All around, the tables were piled high with all the food and wine one might expect of a grand feast. (Apparently, the fae had spared no expense.)

The Seelie King and Queen were present, though distanced from the rest of the revellers -- and quite a few revellers there were. Men and women with petals in their hair, clothes of vibrant silk and satin, and a rainbow of rare feathers and gems. Some looked human, some looked animal. Some, such as in the case of a well-dressed gentleman with skin like birch bark, looked like none of the above.

Come on Barbie, let's go party (for Stiles)

[detectiveofthewest]

There was one person Heiji immediately thought of when he heard about the party: Stiles.

Considering that Stiles would probably have snuck in anyway, this was the best chance to let him satisfy his curiosity in the context of an actual, (semi-) legitimate reason to be there rubbing elbows with other fae. Sure, he wasn't likely to win the title of Miss Fae Universe, but at least this way, Heiji wouldn't have to worry about one of his fellow members giving Stiles space cancer.

For that reason, he was waiting for Stiles outside his place before the evening festivities started. "Hey, you free today?"

MINGLE (Open to all at the feast)

[detectiveofthewest]

In addition to the fairy feast, it seemed that someone had been providing slightly more pedestrian fare in the form of... takeout? Tonight the menu was apparently Thai, with plastic forks for those of you human heathens that couldn't use chopsticks.

There were also several different kinds of bottled drinks, including those of the alcoholic kind. In fact, there had been a particularly nice bottle of rosé along with that pasta for lunch...

[Because reasons, Heiji has arranged for characters to be provided with food other than fairy food. Note that if your character has refused to eat anything beyond a day or two of fasting, they will have been returned to London. No one wants to watch you wasting away.]

CONTEST RESULTS (Placeholder for now, please don't comment yet!)

As the evening continued, a spritely fellow with hair like golden leaves leapt up on a table strewn with fruits and flowers. "Lords and ladies, your attention please! The hour has come to announce our most honored guests!"

"First, the Summer Prince: Wait, is this a joke? What kind of name is... er --

STILES STILINSKI!"

A pair of young girls, all smiles, came forward with a crown of oak leaves that glittered in the starlight as if brushed with diamond dust. All around the new prince, the strange collection of supernatural beings clapped and cheered, raising toasts to the glory of summer, the sun, the king and queen... and of course, the fairest dude in all of London somehow.

DEPARTURE (for the victors)

[detectiveofthewest]

When the applause and attention had died down a bit, a large black fox with six tails approached the victors. "I'm here to take you back," he said. "Whenever you're ready."
