The Lighthouse, Friday Evening

Sep 18, 2009 19:07

The grill was fired up, a bonfire was lit, and there were cold drinks in several coolers. Tully had spent the day preparing and supervising the installation of the light in the top of the tower. The final touch to the restoration of the site.

Now was food, drink, and music.

[Party is open to all of course. Please wait for some OCD is up.]

Eat drink and be merry! There are grilled steaks and sea bass, burgers and hot dogs. Drinks both alcoholic and non.

There was also music. Some of it wasn't even Jimmy Buffet or Willy Singer.

Sweets decided he needed to get out and meet people and a party was a good way to do that.

So here he was, with a beer and a burger.

Jack waved at him with the hand that was holding his beer. "How's it hangin', stranger?"

"Can't complain," Sweets replied. "Dr. Lance Sweets, new guidance counselor up at the school," he introduced himself, shifting his beer to the crook of his arm and wiping the condensation from his hand before holding it out.

The Soul of the Light cowboy_sailor September 18 2009, 23:21:58 UTC

When the sun had set, Tully turned off the music, and began a short prepared speech.

"Once upon a time, seafarers, called the illumination from the light houses, the soul of the light. This tower behind me was once the Gnu Island Light Station. It's soul has been dark since the 1960's.

"Well tonight, thanks to the late Captain Cleopatra Highborne, and generous donations from the handwavey Historical Society, I am pleased to re-christen it the Fandom Island Light. And Re-ignite the soul of the light."

With that, Tully flipped the switch, and a brilliant shaft of light erupted from the windows at the top of the tower. It rotated 360 degrees, shining out bright enough to be seen from miles out into the bay. And to spectacularly light up and frame the school. It would make for a fantastic view.

Of course he couldn't leave it on for too long, it'd annoy the students.

"Soooo.... You're the Soul Man?"

Re: The Soul of the Light cowboy_sailor September 19 2009, 03:23:07 UTC

Tully laughed. "In a manner of speaking I guess."

"You... got what you got the hard way, and you make it better, each and every day?" Jack continued.

Can't believe it's been about a year since Tully showed up.
