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!

Yes. [Look, Zulf is actually smiling more! Truth be told, he is more relieved than he ever thought he would be. His own reaction shocked him. The Kid is just an important person to each of them, for varying reasons.] I'm hoping Lemain and Yudrig's day will especially help him recover from the news of what happened. He's a Mason, after all. I'm not particularly certain if he's into such prayer, but it may do him some good regardless.

[hellpyre]

He is... ?

[Oh. Rin had almost forgot that the Masons were even a thing. It had been so long since she'd even had conversations with Nathaniel about the people that were once in Caelondia.]

Well... we've been given this much. I'm sure that day will be good for him!

[fuckthemancers]

That's right. He's actually rather amazing... But I suppose I'll save my praises until tomorrow. That seems appropriate.

[hellpyre]

[Rin smiles at that, nodding]

I'd like to meet him tomorrow, if that's okay.

[fuckthemancers]

I'll be sure to introduce you. He's known as the Kid- Caelondian in case it wasn't already obvious.

[hellpyre]

Yeah I kinda figured that.

[Had to be one or the other with Zulf and his friends, anyway.]

[fuckthemancers]

You might run across him yourself. If you see a Cael with nearly white hair, that's him. He always has his hammer with him, as well.

[hellpyre]

Oh, that should be easy to spot! Is he plannin' on attendin' the festival at all?

[Some of the residents could be hiding from it, for all she knew. She knew a few weren't all that in to social interaction.]

[fuckthemancers]

I certainly hope he will... Well, with how much food there is, then I suppose there's quite a good chance. I don't think any of us would miss an opportunity like this.

[hellpyre]

Heh. Yeah, seriously. I bet even the ones who don't like bein' around people will be out here.

[fuckthemancers]

That's right. I'm sure everyone will be drawn out to that, along with all the games. Actually... [That reminds him.] I was speaking to Colin about Pyth's Orchard and the mechanical bull which could be brought there. Could you let him know I believe I've found the way there? Then you all could go retrieve it.

[hellpyre]

Oh, really? Okay! I can tell him that! I was plannin' on goin' with him anyway.

[fuckthemancers]

Yes, I heard about that. I'll be by the entrance to the Skyway when you're all ready.

[hellpyre]

Okay!

[She's actually pretty excited about this, tail wagging happily behind her back. Oh is she in for a surprise later.]

[fuckthemancers]

[You poor child]

[hellpyre]

... what's with that look?

[fuckthemancers]

Pyth is simply... somewhat difficult. A mechanical bull to begin with isn't something to scoff at. Considering the God behind it too...

[hellpyre]

Oh...

[That gets her tail to slow, worry coming over her features.]

Well. We'll just have to be careful then.

[fuckthemancers]

Just... be careful. There's no need to be reckless about it.

[hellpyre]

I'll let them know that. I should probably go find Colin though...

[fuckthemancers]

Well, you know where to find me.

[And he'll be off now!]
