OPEN / "Bring Yourself" Arts & Culture event!
who: Cameron Waltz and you!
what: "Bring Yourself" Arts & Culture event!
when: Today!
where: Riverside Community Centre.
warnings: None predicted.
Open invitation on the network!
The community center is normally a modest building, albeit one with a spectacular riverfront view. Tonight, it's putting on the ritz. Multicolored lanterns hang on either side of the sidewalk leading up to the front of the building, and music of all kinds, depending on what time it is, pours out of the open doors and into the street. Local vendors have set up small carts to show off their wares and offer small trinkets and fresh food for sale, displaying their local pride.
Inside, things have been completely redecorated for the event. It's a modern open concept gallery, with blank walls for artwork and written word, empty pedestals to display objects, and plenty of tables with chairs. Some pieces are already on display, from paintings to exotic foods. Small crowds gather around people telling stories or showing off their special skills and talents.
That music plays live from the small main stage overlooking a dance floor, both of which can be cleared for demonstrations of everything from dance to martial arts. Anything physical that requires that little bit of extra room.
Musicians are free to write their names for a time-slot on the stage, and can choose to be accompanied by the onsite pianist and guitarist, bring their own instruments or backup, or perform solo.
All throughout the room are food and drink stations, where staff serves wine, beer, limited spirits, and soft drinks. The exotic foods are on display here, from which the guests can help themselves. If you can imagine it, someone has managed to cook it.
At the far end of the building is an outdoor patio overlooking the river, with seating and torches to light the area through the night. Most displays of magic take place out there, where practitioners can go all-out casting their most extravagant spells.
The crowd ebbs and flows, gathering to socialize during lulls and splitting off to see new events and installations as they come in. Other than opening and closing statements by Cameron Waltz, there's very little structure.
Casual and relaxed, the focus is on learning, generating conversation, and meeting new people. It's an organized free-for-all, a mini festival dedicated to the celebration of the cultures and backgrounds of everyone in Riverview. And in a city made up of a thousand universes worth of people, there's more than enough to see.
[Characters can bring pieces with them as they arrive, and simply set themselves up around the room. Contributions aren't limited to art, anything goes! Feel free to play random observer/staff/performer NPCs. The party goes until midnight, have fun!]

...oh, Maker, he was a beautiful man, and dangerous. Just Dorian's sort. You'd think the Quarantine would have taught him by now not to fall for a charming smile and a handsome face, but honestly, if he hasn't changed in 30 years, he's not going to change now. He's wearing something far more suited to a magical display, which he'll be seeing to soon outdoors, and bearing a similar glass of wine when he finds Simon in the corner.]
Good evening, Ser Templar. That color does wonders with your complexion.
no subject
[ Dorian himself is a welcome sight. One person Simon is fairly sure doesn't put Cameron Waltz foremost in their mind. He reaches out like he might shake Dorian's hand, but instead grazes his fingertips against Dorian's wrist. Nothing wrong with making a person feel particularly appreciated. ]
You look positively rugged, yourself. I mean that in the most possibly flattering way.
no subject
[Dorian did his best to ignore the thrill of that minor physical contact, but he'd always been a sucker for a handsome face and a warm smile. Dangerous, he reminded himself again.
He rarely listened to that voice, of course.]
Rugged you say? [He chuckles, a playful, deep-throated sound.] Dashing, certainly, but I've never been called rugged. Tell me, how precisely do you mean that to be flattering?
no subject
Quite precisely. You look like an fortune-hunter. A swashbuckler. [ He takes a delicate sip. ] I've always liked a man with adventurous taste.
no subject
[He smirks, though.]
I was expressly prohibited from demonstrating the most difficult of my skills, but alas, not everyone is as impressed as I by Necromancy. [He takes a sip from his glass, though, olive eyes moving over his frame.] I do enjoy a good adventure, though.
no subject
He's not about to let that show, though. He's not going to let a tiny upset ruin a good conversation with a very good-looking man. ]
A shame, though I look forward to seeing what you are allowed to demonstrate. Magic is still such a novelty.
[ Simon smiles over his own drink at Dorian. ] Life gets tedious without at least a little adventure now and again.
no subject
Or maybe Dorian was simply that lonely. It was, most likely, a combination of both.]
Oh, if one knows where to look, he can find adventure anywhere.
