You didn’t plan on coming here.

Maybe you saw the hand-drawn flyer taped to the community board at your favorite café. Or maybe it was slipped under your door without a name. Maybe it was a post online, half-hidden between sponsored ads and event spam, that simply read:

Midsummer Nights & Fireflies
Lanterns. Music. Wishes.
June 21st, twilight
Bring a blanket and something you’ve never said out loud.
— Nico

Something about it pulled you in. And now, here you are—walking into the edge of a wildflower field as the fireflies begin to glow.

Hosted by yours truly, local college student, musician, and chaos-with-a-heart, this event is part picnic, part twilight therapy session. Blankets and pillows are scattered across the grass. There are mason jars lit with fairy lights, acoustic music drifting through the air, and a tin full of paper, pens, and string.

You’re invited to write a wish, confession, or memory. Tie it to a floating lantern. Set it free.

They say if a firefly lands on you, someone else’s wish will come true—with your help. But that’s probably just a rumor, right?

There’s lemonade, snacks, and a quiet, unspoken invitation to just be—with no pressure to impress or explain. Just soft music, summer air, and a sky full of maybe’s.

Rules

• Open to: Human, realistic, or low-magic modern characters.
• Tone: Lowkey, atmospheric, and introspective. Light flirting and gentle emotional tension welcome. Please keep IC drama to a minimum. This is a calm and healing space.
• Pacing: Flexible. Post when you can; we’re all adults with lives. No pressure.
• Cap: Soft at 8, may allow more.

This is meant to be a shared, immersive experience—anyone is welcome to add flavor, props, or little side moments as long as it fits the overall vibe. Want to have your character bring food? Set up a sketching spot? Play guitar or share a spoken word piece? Go for it.

If it feels soft, meaningful, or gently magical, it belongs here. Just respect the mellow tone and help build a space others can settle into.
