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!

"That's the one," Colin said, grinning. "He's heavier than he looks. Lotta life in that old bull. I'm probably going to hop in the ring with him a little later, see how I fare against him."

He laughed quietly on her observation of Briar's gods, and he nods. "Gods are just people. Sometimes, you find an asshole."

"If its playing dodge, like it looks, I think I'll just stay aside." She may actually be fit for her weight, but fast will never be her. Although, some spells are coming to mind for- "I don't think using magic as a barrier would be looked upon favorably."

She makes a bit of a face at him. "I'm sure they like to hear such things."

"I've called 'em worse," Colin replied, his expression the picture of innocence. "Still haven't been struck by lightning out of the blue or anything!"

Colin looked toward the pit again, and he chuckled to himself. "If you could get a spell off, I think it would be fair game. Pyth seems to not want to give any quarter."

Tris snorts. If her control had been terrible, Colin might be more at risk for getting hit by her lightning-

"True. I might have to try later after I watch how he targets."

"It's certainly worth giving it a look, if nothing else," Colin said. He reaches out to stroke his fingertip along Chime's back, between her wings.

[stormsinbraids]

"Study him to figure out how he moves? Definitely."

Chime is most pleased by this attention. She trills, spreading her wings to give him a bit more room (and better catch the light, of course-)
