Setting & Food

Shortly before the summer solstice, the days are long enough to justify partying well into the night. Therefore, Elsewhere Park in New Haven is hosting an evening Party in the Park to celebrate the longer daylight hours. Come out for brewskies, brats, and bouts! No man-made pavilion is needed tonight as the established, old trees of the park provide a living canopy overhead with strings of bare bulb lights stretching between the branches. Beneath the trees are picnic tables, blankets, and beach chairs spread out across the luscious grass. There are fire pits to ward off the evening chill (and for roasting marshmallows!) and a pond with rowboats docked nearby.

An acoustic band is set up under one tree, playing everything from reggae beats to light rock. Several grills are going all night long to cook up brats (burgers, kebabs, and steak). There's a table nearby for a "brats bar" with every topping imaginable. There are also salads, sides, and fruit a?plenty. https://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/223104939/id/rjSXhoVP5xGGvTP1pUVhaQ/size/y.jpg And beer. There is a lot of beer. There's a whole outdoor bar set up with kegs of different local beers, including several different pours from Red Orc Brewery and Silvermark. There are also raspberry mojitos, mason jar margaritas, and plenty of non-alcoholic drinks for those who want to keep their wits about them. https://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/223102573/id/lMG2iH1P5xGu8zQYhCmtUQ/size/y.jpg

Fae Mischief at the Party in the Park The Midsummer Party in the Park has been given new flavor with the continued disruptions in technology and the influx of fae in the area. A stronger than usual disruption to technology is rolling through RhyDin on Monday night. People are encouraged to get out of their homes (where the lights aren't working anyway, the AC keeps sputtering out, and the TV is all static) and come out to party in the park instead! The Party in the Park is the place to be to keep cool and be entertained. Games and dueling, friends to chat with (or shoot water guns at), and beer and booze to quench the thirstiest party-goer. At the party, several dryads are seen emerging from trees to join in the festivities; pixies and sprites dash through the air causing mischief; and a troop of brownies shows up to help set up and then clean up the party. Satyrs join the revel, desiring to dance with party-goers and playing merry tunes on their flutes alongside the musicians. Butterfly sprites can be seen fluttering over the nearby garden. Several fae show an interest in learning how to play outdoor twister and the other games available at the party. Unfortunately, helpful, Seelie fae are not the only ones in the park this evening. There's a pack of banshees on the prowl and several bogies making mischief. There is at least one kelpie in the pond trying to lure those who get too close to ride on its back. There are a few tricksy fae tying shoelaces together and attempting to mess with those dueling by jinxing or otherwise distracting them (chances are they likely bet against the ones they are troubling!).

((Reminder: The party is tomorrow night starting at 9pm EST! Come out for live play related to the Midsummer Mayhem SL, play some IC games, get in a few duels, or come out to socialize.
