 Mina does not see him, seized with passion as her body gyrates, spinning and spinning ever faster like a skater gliding across the margins of sand and sea, the borderland of wet land and rushing waters, throwing up foam as her feet trace the tides edge. The irate nanny, tired of a thousand questions snaps at the boy that it is rude to stare, and tells the boy if he "huffs like that once more it will be a  mark of impertinence; bread and water for supper, and a lifetime of shame will surely follow if impertinence is allowed to gain the upper hand". The boy chastened looks away; the nanny privately decides the woman was a an artist, a vegetarian, or a nut, and probably all of them.
-The moon rises slowly, dyeing the land silver, and Mina dances on, a frenzied lithe figure, leaping, bounding, spinning and at times sobbing in pure joy or terror. PC Evans parks his bike against the railings and watches her for a few minutes, then shrugs. German spies or saboteurs trying to get to the seaplane base, that is his duty, not watching some slip of a girl dancing in that manner. His cheeks burn crimson, as if he has caught her naked, and he felt a sting of lust and shame, mingled in the ay only a couple of beers could allay. He mounts his bike and ride for last orders at the pub; these new licensing laws are plain ridiculous he muses, and forgets the frankly erotic, savage, insane and frightful dancer, at least until he tries to sleep.

 Just after midnight they come, proudly, exultantly, and yet furtively. You feel their eyes, yet they are swallowed in shadow; they have waited long for this hour, and they will not move until the twinkling star of dawn tells them the hour has come at last.

 You will need to costume as your character; your character will be pre-written and assigned to you two months before the game takes place, so you can prepare. The information and secrets on your character sheet will help you, by working with others, resolve some mysteries, and perhaps even achieve your set goals, if you do not decide as the story unfolds that maybe they are not so important after all!

+You will need to book a room at the hotel. This will be the largest expense of course, but is very reasonable, especially given prices are per room!
 And finally, but just as important, you will need to register for the game, pay a £5 non-refundable game fee - (unless the game doesn't run for someone reason, in which case everyone will be refunded!) and fill in the [[Casting Form]]. Spaces are strictly limited, so hurry.

 Twilight Fire is a 40 player weekend LARP set in May 1916 and taking place in a Pembrokeshire seaside hotel in May 2016, a century to the day after the events of the story. Players will stay at the hotel, and from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon immerse themselves in a complex tale of romance, intrigue, myth and mystery.

 Brightly flames the dusk, as a coppery sun tinged the western waters ruby red; droplets of blood sacrificed in vain for that long dead cause? The beach is almost deserted; taking one great gulp of air, as if to steady herself, Mina Andrews begins to dance a slow graceful swirl along the greying sands.

 This is not an HP Lovecraft or Cthulhu game; though it has occult themes,it draws from Welsh legend, Arthur Machen, Hermeticism, Theosophy and the Celtic Twilight as well as psychical research and real life "supernatural" folklore, and literary influences such as John Masefield and (in particular) Alan Garner. This game is very much a work of fiction, though it refers to and is set in the real world.
