Party Down! [Open]

Paco hopped up on a box to survey the work already done.

It was getting toward “evening” in the City. They’d hung a sheet up on the Great Wall, and a couple people were currently adjusting the movie projector that had been constructed in Engineering so that the picture would fall exactly on the sheet. He’d collected the recordings from the Media Library himself, everything on there was appropriate for pretty much everyone who might show up.

At the other end of the space he’d picked for the party, a few people were testing the sound system (also constructed in Engineering) and arguing with each other, probably about the music. Well, he’d done his best, anyone who didn’t like it could throw their own dance party somewhere else.

In the middle, up against the outer wall of a building they’d hung lights from, Kang and his helpers were putting the finishing touches on the drinks area. And there was plenty of space for people to mingle or play tag or whatever if the shows and music weren’t to their taste.

Paco grinned and cupped his hands around his mouth to form a megaphone.

“OKAY EVERYONE,” he shouted. “TRY NOT TO DO ANYTHING THAT WILL LOSE US OUR PARTY PRIVILEGES AND LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!”

[[OOC: Post-Melting Clock! Mix! Mingle! Make fun of the music, thread with people you haven’t threaded with before! It’s like a Pod Pop for oldbies!]]

"Much like Earth harps, but relying on processed audio signals from sun-charged cells, rather than merely acoustics."

"...Ah." The unintentional pause before the mild expression spoke volumes of how much he had failed to understand this.

The Chancellor can tell. He tries again. He explained evolution, cloning, and artificial intelligence to a 14th century English knight. He can manage. "A harp with technological modifications that make it louder and the sound sharper."

"Ah, I see," he said. Which he did not -- how on earth could any amount of Muggle tinkering improve the sound of a harp? But he at least understood the explanation this time. "I don't think half the people here would recognize even a normal harp if they saw one..."

The Chancellor chuckles. "Quite possibly."
