"Soo Oh ! Hey I got you some lunch.” Beel held out chicken sandwiches and potato rings, dressed in his strongman outfit (which is just him being shirtless and in tight like pants and gauntless). “Are you still portrait drawing ?”
“Hey, Dad” Rafe said calling out his father seeing him at the archery field. “Would you like to train some shoots with me? We don’t need to go on a competition like the others” he suggested to his father.
closed event starter for @drvcxrys (Angel & Buffy)
“I’m getting pretty severe flashbacks.” Angel mumbled as she looked at Buffy. He had his arm around her. It was comforting to have her next to him when everything just reminded him of just before he was turned vamp. The only thing he did to dress up was a white puffy shirt, undone a bit and black trousers and boots. But it was just all too familiar.
closed hwminievent13 - Billy and Josh @purelybilateral
“Christmas joy is such a lie. An ideal sold by big companies to sell more cards and presents. It’s all greed.” Billy was no longer fond of Christmas. After his mother left things were just not the same. His father became distant and he just felt the anger welling up inside him. “Like who needs these things.”
winter has long faded into spring, and with spring fading into summer, the days grow warmer and the nights grow longer. laughter fills the streets as people spend more time outdoors, walking under lush green trees and through blooming gardens full of color that welcome summer with open arms. whispers fill the streets carried from person to person, stories of travelling faires filled with sparkling jewels, daring knights, and foods beyond belief find themselves on the lips of the residents. flyers are mailed to everyone, social medias are updated in preparation for the biggest event of the coming summer.
in preparation for the faire, rock creek park and the surrounding areas have been transported back in time. tents filled with trinkets, armour, and swords are raised allowing everyone a glance into goods and delicacies from travelling merchants and locals alike. stalls filled with varieties of food, snacks, and sweets are there to draw the crowds and bring people together. music and laughter fill the air as people dance and sing, and as children run along the grassy paths, pretending to be princesses, princes, knights, and dragons as adults watch on with smiles on their faces. people flood the streets in anticipation, dressed to the nines in costumes fitting of kings and queens, knights and villains alike as they descend on the park, seeing what the stalls and sellers have to offer in what will be a truly memorable and magical experience of a renaissance faire for the folks of washington dc.

“okay-- first off, i am like so jealous, that looks like so much fun.” pj said, seeing all the sword fighting and stuff going on, though she was sure she would have to de-wing and probably lose some of the flowers to even try her own hand at it. she could definitely sit and enjoy it, at least. “here! have a flower. it’s a good luck thing, i promise.” || @tragcdysewn for nie mingjue
juliette wasn’t necessarily excited about the faire, but welcomed it as a moment to get out of her house for a bit. making her way past the tents lazily as she browsed what some of them had to offer. the jewelry catching her attention. “i wonder if it’s real silver.” she spoke aloud to no one in particular. of course she could find out by touching it, but that wasn’t fun. / @hiddenstarters
please hit the replies and lmk who you want a starter from and which of your muses you’d like it for. no cap for anyone for now! im lowkey busy this weekend so i want to get these written & queued before then, if i can.
✅ means my starters for that character are currently all done & drafted, but i’m still taking requests, if you want! i just have to be able to keep track or i’ll die
here’s what my crew will be up to during the little mini-event:
wei wuxian will primarily be showing off his archery skills, but he’ll probably also do a little browsing of the shopping stalls here or there to pick out gifts for people (starters for: lan jingyi, legolas, wen qing, jiang cheng, ??)
✅ martin blackwood will be hanging around the arts and crafts booths, since that’s where he had the best time during the winter event. he will probably also be talked into wearing small costume pieces but not a full outfit (starters for: claire novak, the twelfth doctor, regulus black, jeyne poole, eddie munson, ??)
yuri plisetsky will spend 15 minutes here and then want to go home (starters for: evie grimhilde, lizzie midford, jasper hale, ??)
✅ orpheus will be taking the tarot card and palm readings probably too seriously, and he’ll be hanging around the live performances to catch some of the acts! he’ll be wide-eyed and excited about everything (starters for: prince eric, beth greene, annabeth chase, anya romanov, ??)
pippin took will definitely be renting a full knight costume, because it looks cool, and then will be spending a lot of time drinking in the pop-up taverns with the people dressed as pirates (starters for: omega, hallie parker, will byers, legolas, annie, ??)
✅ wen kexing will be judging people’s cheap attire while fully dressed in his different period, non-renaissance clothes lmfao and will also be trying to chat up all of the vendors (starters for: zhang chengling, zhou zishu, ??)
✅ ki yu ri will think she is too cool for the renn faire tbh (starters for: soo oh, ??)
✅ noah czerny will probably find himself at the facepainting booth or spending most of his time hyping up the people trying to win prizes at the games stalls (starters for: toph beifong, princess bubblegum, ??)
✅ xie lian will want to try some of the treats and go on a few of the rides, and also probably end up collecting scraps/trash if any catch his eye. he’ll also want to try some of the swordfighting, and he used to swallow swords as a busker so that kind of entertainment will be fun to revisit and maybe try again (starters for: hua cheng, sophie hatter, howl jenkins pendragon, ??)
✅ blathers finds this all incredibly exciting because the european renaissance was one of the most interesting periods in the human history of this world !!!!! and so what if the renn faire is not 100% historically accurate !! he will probably be found talking the ear off anyone who will give him the time of day (starters for: dale cooper, rowena ravenclaw, rhaegar targaryen, ??)
✅ he xuan will be eating everything in sight, as per usual. he will 99% refuse to wear a costume (starters for: beelzebub, ??)
✅ sha hualing will probably blend in based on what she normally wears... lmfao... but i’m sure she’ll be busy enough heckling the knife and axe throwers (starters for: san, ??)
✅ liu qingge will be swordfighting. he will be finding people to fight, with his sword. it’s probably going to be the best day he’s had since he’s gotten here, tbh. i wouldn’t be surprised if he tried jousting as well. he will 100% misunderstand that the purpose is “entertainment” (starters for: zagreus, isabelle lightwood, xiao xingchen, ??)
✅ loid forger doesn’t really do ‘fun’ or ‘recreation’ so he probably won’t go to the faire unless someone drags him there (starters for: yeo wool, ??)
