Let the Festival Begin [Day 143 | Day 144]

[bastionmods]

Who: EVERYONE
Open: Open
When: Day 143 & 144
Where: All over the Bastion
What: The first two days of the Harvest Festival
Format Any
Warnings: None

For the past week or so, it may feel like to some that the Bastion is gearing up for something. And not anything bad, either. Something good and oh so needed. It's not just the people, the Caels and the Ura that are aware of what the coming days would mean if the world was still intact. It's like the very Bastion itself has suddenly gained new life, and there's a power over it that's greater than any person, creature or Core.

Anyone who is still awake as dawn breaks over the Bastion may find themselves inexplicably tired for no reason at all, and unable to give in to an intense need to close their eyes, just for a moment.

When everyone wakes, and I do mean everyone, the Bastion will be transformed. Decorations, lights strung across every angle, wreaths, tables with colorful cloths over them, streamers and banners and so much stuff just seemingly out of nowhere! The entire Bastion, suddenly a vibrant, beautiful place for a celebration. And not just any celebration.

The Harvest Festival!

Oh.

[ Clearly the answer is to make a map, and then update it. A stick drawn map might work-

But there is an offer that works. ]

If you want to.

[ She'll stand in a way that's easily lifted anyway. ]

[croceamors]

1,500 to 2000 shards.

[The answer is given almost immediately. Yeah, he's done the math already before this conversation. Yeah, he's been planning for this for a while.]

[croceamors]

What sort of 'stuff' are you thinking of?

[dontyoujustwish]

Well, that's discouraging. You're probably going to need help with that.

[croceamors]

[A sigh.]

That would make things simpler for me... It's simply a matter of finding someone who would put in shards to help make a moon.

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas pauses to take a drink while he puts those thoughts in order. The drinking may not be hindering that yet but it won't be too many more sips before it starts to.]

Like how Axel made it here with us, and the chocobos, and how we have a chance to make a difference, and- keep figuring ourselves out.

[dontyoujustwish]

I guess for something like that I might consider finding a sword.

[croceamors]

...I suppose those are things we should think about.

[coolerthansora]

You're not going to laugh at any of it?

[fuckthemancers]

Hm, you might. I've had to deal with someone who was considerably worse about it all, however, so I'm not as bothered as I suppose I could be. Just don't bring it up around any of the other Ura. I can only speak for myself, after all.

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon totally saw Aoi fighting the bull. And he totally sees her eating all the food.

Don't mind him he's just staring a bit. He doesn't often meet girls this tough.]

[croceamors]

No. Most of it are things I've already considered in some manner... Besides the Chocobos, but I suppose I'm similar with my dog.

[kyotoprincess]

[NOPE sorry Bon will be taking that drink. For reasons.

But he does plop down next to Rin with it still in his hand.]

I didn't even know demons could get drunk.

[ourlegends]

[ Emboar's busy brofisting Rin and flexing with Aoi, but Hilda manages to answer Viola's question before Colin speaks. ]

Yeah, that's Lilil. She's here with me, too.

[ In her Pokeball, of course. She looks up to Colin once he starts talking, and then averts her gaze over toward where he's looking. ]

[findsrisks]

[That sure is something coming out of Crona's back.

But Nanaki will shove away her initial response of 'oh god what is that thing' and put on a smile, if only for Crona's sake. Crona is nice, so Nanaki will be nice too.]

Hey there!

[findsrisks]

[Nanaki recognizes Stein, if only because she has to go to the hospital on a semi-frequent basis, mostly because her roommate is an idiot. So she would have seen him in there on a few of those trips, though she never stopped to talk to him.

She will be doing that now, though.]

Why not join in?

[ourlegends]

[ She's very much out of it right now, so when her drink is taken, all she can do is blink up at her large friend. ]

I was drinkin' that, Missur AZ ...

[ ... yeah she's already slurring a little. ]

[astras]

[ She's just going to give you a look that says she doesn't believe you, Frederic. ]

[hellpyre]

[Noooooo give it back Bon. Rin whines, reaching for it in an attempt to get it back.

In the end though she just sort of leaning up against him after a few missed swipes, snuggling in to his arm.]

'member... 'member in Kyoto... ? When Shura switched our drinks? ... that was fun.

[kyotoprincess]

I remember. We definitely don't need a repeat of that, drunky.

[Sorry, he's keeping the drink out of reach, and he may end up drinking it. Just so Rin can't, of course.]

You know, monks aren't supposed to touch this stuff. Purity of the body 'n all.

[hellpyre]

Yeah but it's a party! ... and the end of the world. Mostly a party, though.

[Rin screws up her face a little]

A party at the end of the world! Seems like a pretty good reason to drink t' me. Even if you are a monk.

[hellpyre]

[Yeaaaaah. Flaming brofist. That just made Rin's day awesome, at least for a moment.]

Eh?

[When Colin got her attention, though, she turned and the smile faded.]

... an ash statue.

[hellpyre]

I will! But hey, are you gonna take off without eatin'? There's a lot here.

[hellpyre]

[And Rin heads off to the kitchen, getting her apron down and putting on a slightly stained button down shirt that she used to keep her nicer clothes clean while cooking. By the time Colin showed up, she already had the fire going in one of the ovens and was preparing a dough.]

That's me every day here.

[coolerthansora]

Huh.

You really are- being pretty okay lately.
