WC/MCAB| REP ANY | Public Event

What: Lughnasadh Festival
Who: No real organiser - its sort of just 'happens' and wizards like watching it
Cost: No cost to watch, but cost for market stall items
Where: The Hogsmeade foreshore of the Black Lake
Why: The merfolk gather every year and race kelpie in the shallow water, wizards get to watch and make a thing of it.
When: 16th August

All day of the 16th of August and into the night Merfolk gather in the shallows and race their kelpies. Why they do this human's don't really know, just that they do it on the day of the August full moon. The humans of Hogsmeade use it as an excuse for a celebration - some local men put out from bleacher style seating, but lots of people just bring blankets or stools and picnic on the banks. Some enterprising vendors bring out food carts and sell to the watchers. Some less salubrious but equally enterprising people run betting on the event. Its fairly harmless and usually small potatoes so unless its obvious or out of hand its normally accepted.

UCAB | REP 6+ | A ~~fire~~Ball

What: The Last Party in Pompeii
Who: Antigone is hosting!
Friends, family, and society are invited.
Cost: ;)
Where: Oakshire Hall, Kent
Why: Tig's having a birthday ~~and Olive is finally using the Pompeii theme she's had in her backpocket for Tig for about 3 years~~
When: August 17th

ANCIENT POMPEII. Don your best Victorian appropriation of a toga and get down to The Party of the 1st century!

The ballroom has been magically fashioned into a sort of ampitheatre, the dancefloor obviously being the middle bit (I don't know ampitheatre technical terms okay?) with the seating around the edge for those not dancing. There are illusory beasts - mundane and magical - that occasionally prowl the dancefloor. At one end there's an opulent Roman styled fountain but instead of water it's champagne. Glasses levitate in the air nearby.

Outside there's a miniature Vesuvius (it's slightly taller than the house but obviously small next to the real volcano) that will slowly erupt throughout the evening. The lava is molten chocolate that's been enchanted to look red. There's a table outside with a selection of fruits and skewers for dipping in the 'lava'. It is unnecessarily hot though and the closer you dip to the volcano, the more likely you are to give yourself a third degree burn. Eating the lava chocolate will weaken the consumer's impulse control - it takes 15-30 minutes to take effect depending on a person's metabolism and it has a cumulative effect - the more you eat, the more of an effect you'll get. The effect wears off like alcohol.

There's a modestly sized maze with statues dotted throughout which look suspiciously like the people of Pompeii... At the center of the maze is a columned building inside of which is a Roman bath. It's unclear whether it's intended merely as a decoration or for actual use.

Throughout the party, little flakes of ash will be falling both inside and out - it starts very light and increases in volume as the night goes on.
