Who: Emery-Apollo, various NPCs, and any party-inclined corsairs.
What: Casual bonfire party with wine and song and maybe women.
Where: Asphodel
When: A week or so after the Vindess Liberation.

At some point after the events at Vindess, Emery gets in touch with Penguin Logistics and has them discreetly send out party invitations to trustworthy corsairs.

Some might say that throwing a party shortly after a dangerous confrontation, during a time and place when and where there’s still much work ahead, is inappropriate. To those people Emery would retort that actually, it’s the most appropriate situation to throw a party in, and then not explain his logic any further as he’s busy going ahead and doing whatever he wants.

Which in this case is throwing a bonfire party in the infant settlement of Asphodel.

It’s not a lavish affair. The primary feature is, of course, a large bonfire in the center of a well-ventilated cavern. An assortment of simple food has been provided, things along the lines of bread, pickles, roasted nuts, grilled fish, and guests have been encouraged to bring along their own dishes to share. And also alcohol. There is a prodigious amount of cheap booze available. Emery himself is providing some entertainment by playing music, to accompany those dancing around the bonfire.

It’s a night intended for chatter and laughter, for levity and light, to soothe the hearts of those who have been displaced and those who are worn from battle. Won't you join in?

[[ooc: A quick, chill lil’ event as we’re going into May, because I imagine the characters could use a breather after the Vindess event. Emery is of course around and will be pestering your characters, and I'll toss up a proper top level in a bit, but this is meant as a mingle thing so please feel free to thread amongst yourselves as well. :>

Anyone who attends the party will be under the protection of Apollo, meaning they’ll be protected from getting set on fire if they decide to mess with the bonfire for whatever reason. I don’t think any of Emery’s other powers are likely to come up but for reference here is his permissions post once again.]]

"About... Just all of this. It's not some 'oh, this is what's really going on', so much as the scale of everything dawning on me."

She chuckles. "Perhaps now isn't the time for that, though, huh."

"In a few days, we'll be out and wrestling with that scale again. For now? I am just..." she pauses, winces, acknowledges, does not care. "I am glad you are alive."

"... Yeah. And the same to you."

Kaitlyn just smiles. "... So much."
