You're Invited. To a UV Rave. [Open]

[ethanbialecki]

For an event so well known, there had been almost no advertising. The venue located in an old warehouse near the docks that had been renovated purposefully for such an event. And yet it had drawn quite a large local crowd - to the displeasure of some.

Everybody that pays the entry fee receives a free glass of champagne and a small bottle of UV paint in their prefered colour upon entry.

 

Throughout there are bars serving a vast variety of drinks and 'paint stations' complete with brushes and vast arrays of coloured UV paints. Allowing clubbers to be as creative with their ideas... or just plain messy as they wish.

There are two DJs, playing in different sections, one with the more traditional 'Electronic Dance' style of music, the other playing a selection of requests and popular classics.

It's designed to be a night the people of Siren Cove will remember - or forget if they choose to drink enough.



(OOC: I realise we have quite a few people on hiatus. Please feel free to join in even if you're late. Tag whoever you want, take who you like and have a lot of fun. Below I have included a couple of playlists - but I have terrible tastes in music so feel free to find your own playlists as backing inspiration)

"Aye, gorgeous. I've been makin' some friends." He smirks at her and throws himself at the bar, trying to get the cute bartender's attention. "Shots, aye? What's your poison?"

[astra_inclinant]

"Shots," she says decisively, and pulls out her paint while he waits on the bartender. "Surprise me. I feel like not worrying about things tonight. Annd - stay still."

She tilts her head thoughtfully, catching her lip in her teeth and creates a constellation in glowing blue paint connecting the freckles along the side of his jaw and neck. "There."

[davin]

The bartender sets down their drinks but he holds still, enjoying the feel of the brush dragging along his flushed skin. "What'd ya do t'me?"

He grins and pulls out his phone, and then drags her in to snap of a photo of them together. He turns the screen around and laughs fondly at the picture. It's dark, but their eyes and teeth are glowing, along with the kiss marks on their faces and the lines connecting his moles.

"Nice work," he says with a smile, reaching up to cup her cheek and brush his thumb fondly along her gorgeously freckled skin. "I'd do the same to you but I fear we'd be here all night."

He winks and then pulls her in to kiss her forehead as he pockets his phone, leaving another light set of lip prints before turning to grab his drink.

[astra_inclinant]

"Just making sense out of chaos," she says with a smile: that's what constellations are, stories told year from year by wondering stargazers to make the void and their place in it a little less random. Humans are all the same substances: in a way, it's not that different to look at Davin's freckles and find a line between them.

She wraps her arms around his waist to lean into the picture, grinning vaguely in the phone's direction. It's not bad - definitely instagram worthy.

"Yeah," she says, tipping her head up at the touch. "I'm more of a nebula with all this going on." She gestures at her face roundly with a smirk. She's learned to appreciate her freckles but she didn't, always. They're probably the most noticable thing about her, and kids aren't always kind.

She leans past him to grab hers and raises the shotglass toward him. "What are we drinking to?"

[davin]

"Did you jus' call me face chaos? I'm too drunk t'know if I should be offended or not." He laughs to let her know that he's kidding and lifts his own shot glass, scrunching his nose as he thinks. "So many options, aye? Let's drink to gettin' trashed and making asses o' ourselves on the dance floor. To good friends."

He gives Mira a warm smile and clinks their glasses together before knocking his shot back, shouting happily at the burn before slamming his shot glass upside down on the bar.

[astra_inclinant]

"Everything is chaos," she says, grandly, "you just make an art out of it."

"I'll drink to that," she laughs. Mira's gotten to be much more comfortable with partying since college, but alone she's typically a little restrained. Davin and she egg eachother on in a way that's probably ridiculous but feels comfortable, too. "To good friends." She clinks their glasses with a grin and slams the shot back, blinking and laughing at the burn of it for a moment.

"Come on, let's dance. Make your new friends jealous," she teases.

[davin]

"That's deep, Mir." He grins and takes her hand to pull her out into the crowd. He bends his knees a little so he's not towering over her and wraps an arm around her waist to pull her closer. The music is loud and Davin grins as he moves to it, leaning in to be heard over the music. "Will ya judge me if I try an' get ya t'paint on me more later?"

He laughs and spins her around, shrugging a little. Being painted on just feels like, really awesome.

[astra_inclinant]

She catches the beat, wrapping one arm around his neck when he tugs her in closer, the other hand free to move.

Mira almost laughs at the tentative phrasing and grins, spinning and leaning back in close. "Have I judged you yet? Spoiler, you won't have to try too hard."

[davin]

"Awesome." He grins and picks her up easily, spinning her around a few times before setting her back down easily on the floor. "I could get used to gettin' painted on."

[astra_inclinant]

Mira yelps, giggling when she's suddenly being picked up without warning like some kind of damsel, and holds onto Davin's shoulders, laughing as he sets her down .

She grins. "You're lucky I'm not drunker, Davin Kavanagh." She is just tipsy enough for that to be a fun name to say, though. She dances back in, grabbing his hand to spin him in a role reversal, and leans in after a second. "Hey, Prince Charming, wanna come smoke with me and I'll turn you into a work of art?"

[davin]

"Oooh, say it again." He laughs and lets her lead, spinning around elegantly only to come to a stumbling stop. He looks over at her with a bright grin. "Why Mira, are you trying to seduce me?"

He winks and then spins her around again. He hasn't gotten high in a long time, and he doesn't do it often, but right now it sounds like a great idea. "I'm so in."

(i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[astra_inclinant]

She laughs, spinning him in. It's his height, and them both drinking, that makes it awkward more than anything else. "Well, Davin, I don't think I'd be having much luck if I were," she teases back rhetorically.

"Awesome." She spins back into his hands, ending just a little offbalance and grinning. She's not exactly a stoner as much as an occasional, relaxed partaker - more often than Davin, probably, but less than some of her friends at Brown, especially now that she's at home and it's harder to hide. Tonight seems like a good night for it. Plus, it's hot in here and she could use the air.

"Come on," Mira says, taking a step back and using the hand she's holding to tug him back toward the exit. She can already feel the slight coolness from the door as she moves back from the crowd a little.

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[davin]

"Eh, who knows what my dick will want when I'm cross-faded." He laughs and twines their fingers together, and then practically rushes outside. The cool night air feels amazing on his overheated skin and he sighs happily, tipping his head back and closing his eyes. "Man, it feels great out here."

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[astra_inclinant]

"Oh, okay, in that case," she laughs, rolling her eyes a little but smiling, as he laces his hand through hers and heads for the door.

Outside, it's clear and cool, the breeze lifting sweat away and bringing in just the faintest salt air off the ocean. Mira lifts her face to it. "Yeah. As it happens, I'm pretty smart," she deadpans with a wink toward Davin, lifting her hair off her neck and closing her eyes for a second in the air.

After a moment she gestures them back along the warehouse, away from unknown eyes (and past a few people making out that she restrains herself from investigating too overtly). When they're away from the crowd she leans her shoulders back against the wall to pull out supplies and roll a joint, passing it to Davin first out of habit and offering a light.

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[davin]

"You are pretty smart. And polite," he adds with a smirk as she passes the joint to him. He lights it and inhales carefully, but his eyes still water as he holds the smoke in his lungs until it burns. He blows it out and coughs a little, because it really is not often that he does this. He hands the joint back to Mira and watches a nearby couple making out with unabashed curiosity, even tilting his head when the man slides his hand up under the girl's shirt to grope at her chest.

"You know, if I ever were to be with a girl, it'd probably be you," he says casually, still staring at the couple. He means it as a compliment, really. Mira's awesome. "Or Lara Quinn. Do you know her? She's super hot, right?"

They've never had a frank discussion about sexuality, but Davin's been out since senior year and he just gets the vibe that Mira's into girls. It's not a big deal, so Davin mentions it casually to let her know that she can be open with him. She can also just ignore it, and Davin won't bring it up again. Her choice.

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[astra_inclinant]

She shrugs at him. "The Kazmi hospitality had to rub off somewhere, right?" Mira takes the joint back from him, repressing a laugh as he eyes the couple.

"Really?" She blinks. Mira finds him attractive, but she's never really thought about it in reverse - for one thing because she knows he likes guys. And for another because there are lots of prettier people. "Dav, I'm flattered," she grins.

She lets out a long exhale as he asks her about Lara, glancing over at him. She's never able to talk about these things - but right now seems okay. "Yeah," she says after a second. "Watersong Lara? Yeah, she's gorgeous."

"You like your girls curvy," she teases, bumping him with her hip and passing the joint back.

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[davin]

"Yes, really. Jus' 'cause I'm gay doesn't mean I don't know what a beautiful girl looks like." He grins and takes the joint back, holding it between his long fingers as he inhales. He holds it for a second and tips his head back to release the smoke, nodding a bit as he does. "Yeah, she's amazin'. She's like, I dunno, old Hollywood or somethin."

He's high know, mind fuzzy and limbs heavy, and he stares at the couple making out like he's trying to solve a math problem. They're shameless and they obviously don't mind being watched, so Davin doesn't bother trying to look away. The guy has the girl's shirt up as he cups her breast, and Davin catches a glimpse of the soft curve of it before rolling his eyes and looking back at Mira. "Okay, seriously, boobs can't be that great."

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[astra_inclinant]

He says it so easily, without an excess of silliness or flattery to his tone. Like of course , as though there isn't an entire world of girls he could have chosen for this hypothetical scenario. Mira ponders the way the world works for a second while she watches him smoke, all lines and angles, and leans against his shoulder affectionately.

She steals the joint back out of his hand while Davin works on his voyeur skills, but his question makes her cough and laugh. "They totally are," she assures him. "They're - nice! Soft and handsized. But I mean, - also, do you like guys because you find dicks really aesthetically awesome? I don't think I sat down and decided, you know?"

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[davin]

"Nah, I figured I was gay when I suddenly couldn't stop thinkin' about makin' out with my very male lab partner back in high school." He leans back against the brick and rubs his fingertips against it, enjoying the texture against his skin. "Kissin' is awesome, though. Like, I'll kiss anybody."

He looks at her dubiously as she talks about boobs and then lowers his gaze to her chest, fingers twitching upwards like he's considering, like he's just curious. For science. Then he realizes what he's thinking and snorts a laugh, shaking his head back and forth and stretching his hands up over his head, back arched. God, Mira's got the good shit.

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[astra_inclinant]

"Kissing is the best," Mira agrees wholeheartedly. Kisses sound great right now. It's been a while since she was kissed.

She snorts at his slightly obvious look at her chest. "Kavanagh," she says,, "you know I'm all for scientific inquiry, but not outside a warehouse. I'm a classy lady, I'll have you know."

She grins, tossing her head a little, and leans her shoulders against the brick next to him, cold and rough against the skin bared by a low backed dress. After a minute she bends way back, tipping her face up to the starry sky until she can't see anything else and feeling the world spin with just Davin breathing next to her to hold her down.

"Oh," she says, abruptly, as if it's somehow related, and stands straight, "I'm supposed to paint you."

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[davin]

Davin grins and puts a finger under her chin, drawing her forward to give her a soft peck on the mouth. He pulls away and enjoys the cool air, laughing when Mira talks about painting him.

"Oh, so I can't grope you, but you can grope me. Is that how it is?" He smirks at her and then suddenly looks startled when a moan drifts over from across the alley. "Yeah, fuck this. C'mon."

He puts the joint between his lips and laughs around it as he grabs her hand, leading her deeper down the alley and around the back of the building. There's an old loading dock here and Davin lifts Mira up onto it easily before pulling himself up.

"Alright, that's better," he says as he pulls off his shirt and presents his back to her. "Have at it."

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[astra_inclinant]

She smiles into the quick kiss, the ghost of pink paint left behind on her lips. He's warm in contrast with the air. Right now everything feels unpressured, just fun and like it makes sense.

"You asked, buddy -" she's cut off by the actual groping going on down the way and hides a laugh, grabbing his hand.

She feels vaguely like she should feel creeped out by them winding into a deserted alley behind a warehouse. But she's not. Mostly, she's fascinated.

She takes out her paint as Davin pulls off his shirt. "Any requests?" she asks lightly, dropping a long curve from the base of his neck and curling it into a slow spiral.

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[davin]

"Not particular - oh damn, that's awesome." He arches into the touch of the brush like an eager house cat and laughs a little. "Nah, I trust ya."

He lights the joint again, and it's burned down enough to warm his fingers when he takes a hit. He holds the smoke in as he passes it carefully over his shoulder so that Mira can finish it off.

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[astra_inclinant]

Mira grins and raises an eyebrow at the way he arches against the paint. "Patience." She uses her fingers to drag arms slowly out of the spiral, like a galaxy or a hurricane, enjoying the feel of the paint slick between his skin and her fingertips.

She switches back to the brush to create a long blue zig zag down his back and start to play it out into fractals. Lightning. Arteries. Something like that.

She pauses in her focus to take the end of the joint from him with a "thanks," taking a long drag. On impulse, she puts her hand on the back of his neck and leans in over his shoulder to press her lips to his, shotgunning the end of it and trying not to laugh.

Re: (i should probably tw for mention of drugs here, to be on the safe side)

[davin]

Davin is so lost in the feeling of the brush and her fingers on his skin that he's surprised when she's suddenly kissing him, but he goes with it easily. He leans into it and inhales the smoke, giving her a playful bite to her bottom lip before pulling away to blow the smoke into the air.

"Very cheeky," he says with a big grin and a wink.
