a midsummer night's feast

πŸ§™ WHO: Everyone!
βš”οΈοΈ WHAT: Claude throws a feast, as advertised on his network post
πŸ•’ WHEN: 30th June, early evening onwards
πŸ—ΊοΈ WHERE: Camelot outskirts
⚠️ WARNINGS: Alcohol mentions.

[It took a fair bit of planning, but Claude's feast goes ahead on the appointed date. Everyone will find the location sent to their devices: a meadow generously loaned by a local farmer, situated not far from the city walls. There's no set dress code, just a requirement for everyone to contribute something to the feast, whether that be food, drinks, entertainment or even just practical things like tableware. There's a long table where people can leave their food, outdoor stoves for reheating dishes, long trestle tables with chairs where people can sit and eat (unless they prefer to stand, of course) and a few kegs of ale and bottle of wines on offer, along with a selection of non-alcoholic drinks.

The dishes are all laid out buffet-style, and in keeping in the theme of the evening, labelled with whoever brought them, the name of the food, and where the cuisine hails from. There's also a piano! Gokudera and Zuko have offered to perform live music, with Dorothea as the accompanying vocalist.

Although the days are at their longest at this time of year, there's still plenty of candle lamps and torch brackets lit later in the evening as the sun dips toward the horizon, casting everything in a dusky glow. Later still, when it's completely dark, a bonfire is lit for people to sit (and maybe cuddle up? πŸ‘€) around and relax.

Once a sizeable number of people have showed up and the spread looks about ready, Claude grabs the nearest chair and climbs up to stand on it, waving to get everyone's attention.]


Okay everyone, listen up! I want to thank you all for coming. None of this would have been possible without all your contributions. I hope we can all remember tonight as an example of what we can accomplish when we work together as one community, regardless of wherever we're from. We have much more in common than whatever differences we share between worlds, and the friendships we forge tonight will stand as a testament to that.

[Then he grins, a mischievous look in his eye.] But no one came here to listen to a guy on a chair wax sentimental. I'm starving -- let's eat!

[He hops down and wastes no time beelining for the food. Race you, nerds.]
