happy pride, etc

“Uh, people were killed.”
“No one was killed at Stonewall.”
“No…body…was killed???”

The café is looking much more colorful than it has in the past. Specifically, there are various flags draped on top of the walls – certainly it is much brighter than anything Enjolras would have cared to come up with. Directly behind the pastry case there is a rainbow flag, and scattered around there are a myriad of other pride flags. (Whatever they could scrounge up from the cupboards, basically.) There is also a small table set off to one side, with various types of beaded necklaces and colored bracelets lying atop it. There is also a small flier with descriptions and explanations of what the different flags represent. Explanations of pride in general will be freely offered, as well.

Dionysus has offered up his cd player, though instead of the same music from the party, it is playing songs from various queer artists. There’s a selection ranging from Bowie to Cole Porter to Billie Holiday, including more modern artists such as Lady Gaga, Mika, Queen, and Green Day. Apollo can be found near the music as usual; but he is currently engrossed in making more of the colored bracelets. He is seated at the table with a box full of friendship bracelet making supplies, wearing an artfully cropped version of this shirt, a hyacinth bloom set behind his ear. Dionysus is at a different table, wearing a knee-length sundress of pink, yellow, and blue stripes and one of the beaded bracelets Apollo is making, this one in yellow, white, purple, and black beads. He found a small facepainting palette with a few pride flag options and is willing to offer up his services if anyone happens to want a tiny flag on their cheek (or, well, wherever.)


Let us know if you want Apollo, Dionysus, or both for your threads!

Kade walks in! "Hey, what's all this?"

“It apparently would be June right now,” Dionysus adds, “I mean, I know everyone arrives from different months and all, but by some estimates that’s where we’d be.”

"Yeah, that tracks." Kade surveys the stuff they have laid out. "Well, have fun!"

"Apollo, this is Kade, he's our resident tailor. Kade, this is my big brother Apollo," he certainly doesn't look like he would be Dionysus' big brother, more like he could be his teenage son or something, but Dionysus doesn't seem to be giving that a second thought whatsoever, and says this as if it's just an extremely basic fact with no weird complications whatsoever. "Apollo's the god of Music, the Sun, Healing, Twinks, Poetry, and apparently today, Making Bracelets."

Dionysus holds up the small face painting palette he found. "I'm doing face paint if you want something. I can doodle on you if you'd like."
kadewest: (MOORS.)

"I'm also, from what I can tell, your token straight guy," Kade demurs.
vineleaves: (Shady?)

The 'youth and protection' thing is absolutely not why Dionysus called him the god of Twinks, but he doesn't argue, just rolls his eyes and starts casually painting a little star on the back of his hand with a purple shade from the palette.

"I'm good," Kade demurs again. He doesn't mean to be rude, but he can make so much nicer if he wants one.

Dionysus has finished the star, and starts mixing some water into a pink color to activate it, so he can draw a cloud next.

"Just about," Kade says. "Why, you want something?"
kadewest: (TRUTH.)

[personal profile] kadewest 2024-06-08 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, maybe later you can describe what you want and we can see what I can do," Kade says. "We'll sort out the payment then, too."

"Well, like you said, it's not like we have a currency--I wouldn't ask my students for money, either. But trades are important."

"It's a story for a jacket," Kade says, mildly. "Unless you changed your mind about that."

"That'll cost you extra," Kade laughs. "But sure."
