    Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

    The glow of lights is unusual. Prairie City is the furthest thing from a city, but tonight it's awash in activity. Rolling clouds of disturbed dirt and dust form a glowing corona that's visible on the drive in. It may even be visible from Highway 50, but police band scanners are tuned to listen.

    The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
    .

    An aluminum skeleton forms a stage that small bands rotate off an on. The music is eclectic, ranging from electronic to metal, in true festival style. Cars ring the area, forming tailgating circles. Small fires here and there provide light, and the sizzle and smell of hot dogs and burgers tickle at the senses.

    Reluctantly crouched at the starting line, engines pumping and thumping in time
    .

    Colored flares cut off a portion of the area, and the arrangement of cars along it are uniform -- almost militant. Garish neons and barking roars tear at the senses, and the tuners and muscle racers eye each other with undisguised disdain.

    The rumors have been floating around for weeks; and the night has come. Music. Racing. Something for everyone.

    This is totally open to anyone, I just wanted to see how the rumor mill would work. Feel free to be liberal with narration regarding the bands playing, and libations to be found. If enough people show interest (post in the OOC thread) I'll organize a race for those interested PCs to flex their Drive Skill!

    David lurks. The throng of sweaty bodies and throaty cars are not the Mortician's idea of how to spend a night. The whole thing strikes the Shadow as a Spring Awakening for the city, however, as vaguely illegal as it might be. In the shadows, David chuckles a little to himself as he compares Stravinsky's masterpiece with the discordant harmonies he hears now.

    Who would know that the spindly man in jeans, blazer, zip hoodie, and sneakers is an ascendent member of the Night Society?

    In truth, David is here on business. An acquaintance of his called one night and asked if the Mortician could help with First Aid. 'You know,' he said, 'dehydration, cuts and scrapes.' The acquaintance knows that David likes his privacy and as the Mortician values discretion the request was posed and David accepted. A black bag with some extra materials from Cedar Fields sits at David's feet.

    Despite business, David is still intrigued at the thumping crowds. Dull-brown eyes search the sea of flesh.

    The sweet, fragrant smells of roses mixed with lilacs emanate from her as she casts magic. The scent intensifies, bordering on intoxicating, when Life magic is cast. When Aurora casts Vulgar magic, the scent takes a nasty turn, to the putrid, nauseating odor of a rotting corpse. The stronger the magic, the more those around want to retch at the smell.

    Of course she had heard about the live music and car racing! And there was no way she was going to miss anything. The GTO had been washed and detailed that day, even if she doesn’t race it, it still needed to look good. And she had to look good as well. She decided on a pair of shorts that were once jeans with a green tank top. Her best leather coat was added on top and her long blonde hair was left down, cascading around her shoulders. Why shorts? Cause why not?! With live music, it meant close bodies and dancing, and she wasn’t about to sweat wearing pants. Plus she had been dying to wear shorts, colder weather wasn’t her thing, and she usually moved to a warm location once the cold set in. Her makeup was sultry for the evening, with the main focus being her eyes. She was going to see and been seen.

    In roars the GTO as Faye pulls it into a parking spot. The driver’s door opens and long legs appear as Faye exits her car.

    She walks around to the hood of the car and sits against it, her head keeping pace with the current music. There was just something about live music, the way you could feel the beats in your body and the pulsing excitement from the crowd.

    Blue eyes scan, looking for either someone she knew, or someone who would be interesting and fun to talk to. Didn’t matter which.

    What in the world would Cosima Tascioni, a creature so devoted to artistry and perfected pleasure, possibly want to do with a night like this? A night of sweat, and grime, and dirt, and fuel exhaust? Well, clearly enough attention wasn't paid to what this night truly was. But, if it was not just a dirty romp, what was it? Some silly sport? Some American motor fetishists fevered dream? Ah, well, almost, yet it was also far more, for in Coco's mind it was a night where, amid the desert darkness, light gleamed in polychromatic profusion and the call of music suffused the air. Yet, beyond just that, a host of spirits and other powerful potions were also peddled into the masses, stoking desires ever higher, more fuel for passions fires. Revelers had gathered from all around for just such a show, and with them great beasts had come, beasts which breathed smoke and who's bellies burned with unimaginably hot fires. Upon these beasts certain revelers would ride, and the most skillful of these would win great riches, trumpeted accolades, and the burning jealousy of their inferior competitors.

    Ah, yes, now that was truly a night which appealed to her, and thus she garbed herself in clothing she thought most fitting: a jacket to match the scene, pants to match the riding of beasts, and footwear to accentuate it all. Her cane, of course, was in hand, and a brilliant smile was upon her lips. So attired, and armed, Spring's Claviger strode amongst the racers and revelers, eyes casting about for something of note. And, ah, there was something of note! A drug dealer! Certainly he would be a person that desire would flock to!

    "Hello!" Coco proclaimed happily, striding over to the hooded man with the bag at his feet. "Tell me, do you hold the essence of ecstasy in that bag of yours?"

    Somewhere behind them, a new band came on stage and broke into their musically thundering, if repetitive, stride.

    The music!

    A giant strides with purpose through the seething crowds near the stage. He is like an iceberg, moving serenely across a bobbing sea of heads and flailing limbs. Seriously, who is going to challenge a mountain of a man with long hair, firm jaw, and a steady moment that just wont give way. To anyone.

    Green heard the whispers in the work place: the talk of younger men as the clustered on their lunch break amid the ring of steel and the hammer of industry. He saw a flyer in a coffee room where he discussed payment problems with an entire shift and filed the paperwork on their behalf, for being in a Union meant they had friends. He saw another flyer at the Union office. He overheard the mutterings in a dingy bar and confirmed them with a drinking buddy who had got himself a gig on security.

    It had been a while since Green had come out for an evening of entertainment. It had been a lifetime since he had been among the roar of engines and the sensual infusion of gas, chrome, and burning rubber. There would have been the scent of excitement, sex and desire, but he had practically forgotten what that felt like. No, he was here for the spinning tyres and stench filled smoke and the gleam of metal.

    The mountain moves through the crowd on his way to where the vehicles lay lined up and ready. Street racing awaits!

    Not a flock, only two. Only two desires cling to David as much as David clings to them. Sadly, perhaps more in tune with Winter, one of those desires – one held to so tightly – can never, ever be fulfilled. It's a desire David can only pay attention to in the small moments before Night turns to Day. One that reminds him why he does anything he does now. The other desire, is something David thinks is now impossible. Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't.

    David lifts his hand and pulls down his hood, a mop of brown curls framing dull-brown eyes, a sharp nose, and thin lips. “I'm sorry?” The Shadow's voice is nearly lost in the din of the jubilant crowd. Shaking his head and shifting uneasily on his feet he adds, “I don't have any, sorry. Just a wandering medic.”

    Though he's tall, just about six feet, David tries to fold in on himself as though warding himself from any chills still in the air.

    “It's really repetitive,” David murmurs half to himself at the band on stage, though he also wonders if that's the point.

    A bright laugh spilled from the equally bright haired woman, and a mischievous cant entered her wide grin.

    "Repetitive? Well, tell me, wandering medic, what other activity do you know of that's repetitive and requires pushing?" She regarded him for a beat, all the better to let his mind gather the intended answer, and then let another laugh cascade from her lips before she supplied an entirely different answer.

    "Pistons, of course! This is an automotive race, after all, and pistons are what drive the wheels onward, do they not?"

    Emrys found his way into the crowd of people almost oblivious to the evenings actual activities. Unlike many others, he didn't really have any friends or contacts to tell him what was up, nor did he find any fliers to point him in this direction. Fortunately though, Fate was always on the side of the Enchanters, and a walk with it as his guide was guaranteed to be anything but dull.

    The sight of cars and the blaring music made the purpose of the evening clear to Emrys though, and he was stoked about it. He saw a familiar beauty in the crowd, and gave a smile and a wave to Faye as he made his way towards the cars. Finding himself next to a giant of a man, he tapped the guy on the shoulder.

    "Hey man." He called up to Malcolm. "Any idea when they're gonna start?"

    A yellow open top Chevrolet Corvette C7 purred in and parked in a vacant spot near the other cars that obviously wanted to race. Chuck didn't know if he'd participate or not, but with his new toy he at least had the option. Wearing a close fitting grey shirt and jeans he stepped out, head beginning to bob to the beat of the music already playing as he looked around to get a feel for the atmosphere.

    He saw a few interesting faces. The blonde with the long legs on the GTO caught his gaze before he was distracted by the man doubling over talking to a red head.

    Finally he looked over at Aryana and gave her a big grin. "Should be a good night to unwind and have some fun." he said, loud enough to be heard over the noise of cars and music.

    Aryana wasn't quite sure why she'd let Chuck drag her off to this event. When she stepped out of the car, she became even less sure. The riotous assault of sound, bright lights, and powerful smells certainly wasn't pleasant, and she took a moment to cover her eyes and plug her ears, trying to adjust.

    She'd dressed as usual for the night, not really seeing any reason to play dress-up. That was for big, fancy events, right? And besides, she didn't have anything that might be 'fancy' and actually still fit. She'd put on quite a bit of size since her change.

    Aryana nodded at her Alpha. "I suppose. Just don't unwind -too- much. We could still get ambushed." Aryana as usual, overly serious.
