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)

Rhodri had told Louise that he wanted to invite her to something, that it was different and more like him than any fancy event.

Louise, who so very hard wanted to try and do new things right now, had said yes. After asking about a dress code (old clothes), location (old hall) and need for money (no need).

Now, waiting for him outside of a rave, decked out in an old black shirt with a low cut back and some ancient jeans, she was unsure if she wanted to do this. Sure, no-one she knew would be here, she might not even be recognized because of how dark it even was, but was she cut out for this? Did she want to this?

Waiting made her only more nervous. Rhodri could come find her. Louise stepped inside.

[risesandthefalls]

He finds her quickly enough. He's already shirtless, a chain of interlocking handprints painted down his side. He curls one arm around her from behind, pulling her in close so he can whisper in her ear.

"Hey there, sweetheart."

[louise_abasi]

"Aah!"

Louise hits at the arm until she hears a familiar voice. "Rhodri. Idiot, don't do that, I'm terrified."

[risesandthefalls]

He plants a kiss on the side of her neck.

"Terrified? Why?"

[louise_abasi]

Louise wants to smack him again, wants to blow up the fire inside her because you just don't do that.

"Stop it." She jabs her index finger at him. "All the shit you've seen me in and you think I enjoy being caught from behind like that? In a strange environment?"

[risesandthefalls]

He holds up both hands in surrender and, in his defense, he does look embarrassed.

"Shit, Lou. I'm sorry. I'm stupid. And a little bit pissed."

[louise_abasi]

"Assh- fool."

She dips in closer to smell. "Yes, you are. Will I be safe with you, tonight?"

[risesandthefalls]

"I'll be a perfect gentleman," he says, flashing her a grin. "I promise."

[louise_abasi]

Louise composes herself. "Okay, tell me what to do and how to do it. I need paint, I guess?"

[risesandthefalls]

"You can paint on me if you like," he says, with a smile - other than the handprints down one side, he's more or less paint free. "I'll be your canvas."

[louise_abasi]

"Oh, really? Exciting."

She accepts a tube from a stranger and giggles when she can't find the opening. "This may take a while."

[risesandthefalls]

"You want me to offer professional guidance?" He asks her, grinning. "Or I can just stand here and look pretty."

[louise_abasi]

"Because you are a professional when it comes to body paint?"

She gets the tube open and covers her finger tips with it. "Tell me about it while I wait for inspiration to strike."

[risesandthefalls]

"Artist." He leans in, looking for a kiss. "What am I supposed to be telling you about."

[louise_abasi]

"You always so easily dodge the honest, long spun answers."

She taps her lips with her fingers before giving him a light kiss, covering his mouth with paint. "I'm going to cover you in leaves. Whenever I think I find the trunk, it's just another branch of stories."

[risesandthefalls]

He smiles, loosely locking his fingers behind him, giving her room to work.

"You wouldn't like me if I was simple."

[louise_abasi]

"Never decide for me what I like."

She draws a little sun around his left nipple, before taking one of the beams and giving it leaves all down his side. Only when she's looking back up to see her work, she notices how hot and excited she is. It's just all so different.

"Turn."

[risesandthefalls]

"Yes, ma'am," he says, turning, suddenly very aware of his breathing, of every single brush of her fingers.

[louise_abasi]

Maybe Louise should have eaten more, drank more. Maybe it was just the insane loud bass drumming through her.

"I'm almost done. I hope you won't be disappointed."

[risesandthefalls]

"Never in you," he says, utterly serious for a moment. "I'm sure it'll be beautiful. And, if nothing else, I'll shine like a star. First time for everything."

[louise_abasi]

"Suns." She flicks a nipple. "I made suns, Rhodri."

[risesandthefalls]

He bites his lip at the surge of feeling when she does that.

"Sun. Right. Sorry."

[louise_abasi]

"Almost done."

The entire situation almost feels like a big gulp of absinthe and she giggles. "I hope I can inspire you in the same way."

[risesandthefalls]

For a moment, just looking at her in the dancing light, it's difficult to find the words.

"You do," he says, finally.

[louise_abasi]

It all feels much too serious for a bleeding rave party, it feels like the both of them are creating something together right now.

"Already?" Maybe her smile is a little nervous. She hands him the tubes. "Go on, then."
