thebastion | Let the Festival Begin [Day 143

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!

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

I'd offer you mine while I attempt to learn how to use my new gun, but I'm afraid I'm not sure if you could lift it.

So you have some overkill of a phallic symbol, huh.

....When you put it like that, it sounds worse than it really is. But yes. Is a gun any better, or just as much of a phallic symbol?

I don't have much experience with guns, but being able to lift it would work in its favor.

I'll have my Berserker bring it to you after this whole event has died down, then.

And then you expect me to just go out there by myself?

Of course not. I'll go with you, along with that. ['That' being the Berserker Nobody.]

That? You mean you, me, and the gun?

Well, yes, but also-

[He waves his hand, and after a moment, a portal opens up. From out of it steps his Berserker Nobody, very VERY carefully holding an army carbine in its hands.]

That.

[Anya gives a start, but she doesn't look particularly alarmed by what steps through.]

Oh, that. I've seen it around. Doesn't it have a name or something?

It's a Berserker Nobody, but it doesn't have a proper name. Lesser Nobodies like it can't remember as much of their old lives like the main Organization could.

[...]

Should I give it one?

I don't know. At least for ease of reference, you might consider it.

[She peers up at it.]

I take it it doesn't speak.

[The Berserker peers back. At least... Presumably. Sort of hard to tell without... eyes...]

It can communicate telepathically, but I'm unsure if that's restricted to other Nobodies. I suppose it's something to consider.

... I'm getting nothing, but it seems sort of the stoic type.

I'm glad for that. Some of the other Lesser Nobodies were... twitchy.

Did you make them nervous?

Probably, but I think they're always just naturally twitchy. Dusks are at the bottom of the hierarchy, really. That doesn't explain the Gamblers...

You had Nobodies who gambled?

They attacked using dice and cards, much like their master who was more on my level as a Nobody. His 'title' was 'The Gambler of Fate'.

Well, that's dramatic.

What was your title?

Our employer had a flair for it.

[Saix keeps Xemnas in mind as a guide of things he shouldn't do, really. Mostly "never be full of that much purple prose".]

I was the "Lunar Diviner".

I'm having trouble picturing you as a fortune-teller.

I'm afraid his reasoning was always lost on me as well, but I didn't care to argue with the man.

Maybe he just liked the word and wanted some excuse to use it.
