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? What is it you can do?

[Rin is actually curious about this.]

[aprettyred]

I know that these look like, so I can find more without looking under every bush.

[ At 'these', she's reaching in her pocket for a gear. ]

If I had a map, I can find them much more easily.

[hellpyre]

Oh... hm. I don't know if there is a map. Everything changes here so often...

[Rin makes a thoughtful face at that]

Well, maybe I can lift you? So you can see in high places?

[aprettyred]

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. ]

[hellpyre]

I don't mind! I'm pretty strong, I bed you'd be like a feather to me!

[A map can be dealt with later.]

[aprettyred]

Okay.

[ Anna looks up at the girl and.

This is an important thing to get out of the way. ]

I'm Anna.

[hellpyre]

[Oh right.]

I'm Rin! Nice to meet you, Anna.

[aprettyred]

Rin?

[ SHE THOUGHT YOU LOOKED A LITTLE FAMILIAR. Anna peers intently at Rin for a moment longer. ]

Okumura?

[ You were a boy. This is odd, but still okay. ]

[hellpyre]

Eh? ... yeah. That's my family name. How'd you know that?

[aprettyred]

There was a Rin in Vatheon, with a tail.

[ She stares at the girl for a moment longer, then fishes out a marble and peers at her. ]

... He looked a lot like you, and taught me how to cook a little.

[hellpyre]

... oh. You came with... uhm. ... Roxas. And that group.

[Ah. Okay. This is... a little awkward. She's not upset or anything, it's just a lot to take in. There was a male Rin in Bon's version of True Cross, and now one in this other place.

Both of them now likely destroyed.]

Bon said I was a guy in his world, too.

[aprettyred]

... That other group, yes.

[ She didn't know Roxas. But she thinks about that, and while its a bit odd, its not much odder than winding up in an upside down fishbowl under the sea where dead people were. ]

Its a little strange.

[hellpyre]

Y-yeah... you're tellin' me...

[She will never get used to that.]

[aprettyred]

... I will try not to think of that Rin when I talk to you.

[hellpyre]

I--... n-no, it's okay. I mean you knew him first. That's not somethin' anyone can take away from you, not even me.
