The Memorial Dance

After the Zombie Apolcalypse, and the clean up which took days, Chiron and Mr. D realized that moral had fallen quite a lot during the dark days. People who had once been full of life and ready to take on the world... well, some were dead, and others no longer had that brightness which once shone in their soul. They wondered what they could do to help, how they could try raise the spirits of the Campers left behind. But, at the same time, they knew anything which they did, which was intended to bring fun and happiness back into Campers lives, would be rejected immediately: Why would they celebrate and have fun after so many lives had been lost?
It was Chiron who came up with the idea of a Memorial Dance. It was set up with the intention to keep in mind the deceased, and at the same time, have some aspect of fun.

After the Strawberries began to die for the upcoming Winter, the Strawberry field was cleared. Enough room was made, in fact, for an outside dancefloor and decorations to be set up one night while Campers slept.

As you walk in, Be Still by the Fray plays softly and will play throughout the night, as will many slow tunes. The night throws the red string lanterns into perspective, and they seem to float in thin air. Of course, that isn't the case. They hang from transparent fishing wire, and the soft glow they give off makes the cool night air seem warmer, as it does with everything else. The dance floor seems golden and red, with long shadows cast on the edges.
The theme for the night is unofficially Chinese, and the stage from where the music plays is gilded with gold and symbols, all meaning peace and remembrance.
Curtains hang all around, along the the lanterns, and there are many tables and chairs scattered around the dance floor, all red and gold and black and silver. Larger tables have food and drink on them, all warm, all cooked especially for the night.
At one corner, held up by strong supports, is a sturdy red wood tower, with curtains all but hiding the entrance to the bottom from view. Stairs inside the bottom lead up and up, coming out just over ten meters high, above the strings of lanterns. Only so many people may go up the tower at once, preferably pairs, and the purpose of this tower is obvious once you reach the top. Special red chinese fire lanterns, painted with black symbols of memory and peace, rest carefully in a circle around the top of the tower.
