Arcadian Forest Party
This was more work that he usually bothered to put in, Pan thought, especially here, at home, but everything was set.
At first glance, it appeared to be a forest clearing, beautiful and wild but nothing different than a hundred other clearings spread throughout the woods of the Arcadian mountains. But when you looked again, Pan thought, you saw something quite different. Hidden in the trees were a series of structures suspended in air, hung with ivy and dew, and through the mist-shrouded branches you could see the faint glow of light, and you could smell the scent of fire and food. There was the fire pit, a circle suspended in the arms of a large oak with a crackling golden fire, a roast, and bowls of marshmallows, chocolate and crackers waiting. There was the bar, stocked with a rich variety of wines and alcohols and staffed by two of the satyrs. And then there was the forest floor itself, bare now, but waiting for the dancing. On all sides of the floor, there were cushions on the low branches and benches of fallen logs, each accompanied with wooden buckets full of wine and beer bottles and glassed suspended with vine.
"Well," he said to Zaffre, currently wrapped around his neck, "I think we're ready." Pan flicked a leaf off his forest green turtleneck and looked around with approval before pausing. "We're almost ready," he corrected, and pulled his pan flute up to his lips.
The forest filled with music as he played, music that began as the mystical songs of the flute, but transformed as he let the instrument fall to his side - transformed into thrumming, sensual rhythms and intricate guitars that would encourage the party-goers to...well, Pan thought with a sharp grin, to be bad. Very bad.
"Let the games begin," Pan said.

fortuna_invicta is invited, the more the merrier in Pan's opinion. If anyone needs directions to the right section of the forest, let Pan know on the SWS post. Mingle! Get drunk! Stuff your face! Find a secluded tree and do naughty things! Pan approves highly of all these pursuits. Format = narrative third person, if you please!]

Horus shrugged, his hands rubbing the beer bottle in his grasp. "I suppose the desire to talk to someone besides myself was stronger than the distaste I have for the usual drama that surrounds these gatherings."

He looked around and his lips quirked up. He had seen Eros passing, and of course Pan was hosting. There was likely to be more hedonism here than drama. "I think if there is to be drama at this party, the two of us shall have to expend the effort to create it."

Horus attempted to raise a single eyebrow, but failed, and ended up looking more dopily surprised than anything. "I'm not drunk enough to get into one of our oh so entertaining squabbles. Give me another hour and then I'll go from being stumbling-when-I-walk-drunk to I-hate-everyone-around-me-and-their-dog drunk."

"We could try something new," he said dryly. "I haven't had anything yet," he added, and stepped over to one of the benches to get one of the bottles of beer. "Personally, I require some fortification."
