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!

[He will be utterly successful in his little theft, with Saix giving a sigh and slightly annoyed glare in Axel's direction. He's not really worried about the booze- the table isn't exactly lacking in it.]

I wasn't aware I needed to be with you when I decide to get myself some level of drunk.

You're planning on getting drunk?

[He gives Saix a suspicious stare.]

I am not going to be beaten by a drink.

[Annoyed that he is such a loser when it comes to booze? Don't be dumb.]

[He rolls his eyes before glancing down at the bottle in his hand.]

Yeah, I don't think you have much control over that, lightweight.

Like you can talk.

[He frowns.]

I think I'm way better than you.

Really.

Then feel free to prove me wrong right now.

Are you serious? [He scoffs and as he leans back a grin creeps onto Axel's face.] Since when are you so competitive?

...I don't like having such a ridiculous weakpoint. It's pathetic.

So long as you're not drinking before you fight, then, hey, it's not really a bad thing, is it?

And if I'm drinking but unexpectedly get involved in a fight?

[He thinks for a moment... Hm. This is an issue, isn't it.]

Then there's always the option of running away, I guess.

And we're back to that.

Back to what?

You tend to-

[Saix stops himself with a frown and a furrow of his eyebrows.]

...Nevermind. I don't want to start a fight.

[Tend to--? He wants to ask... but figures that starting an argument over something so dumb would be a terrible idea, especially when they're supposed to be having fun. So he lets the topic go and starts to absently swish the liquid around inside of the bottle he's holding.]

... Well, at least you're getting better at that.

I am trying.. At least with you. It's easiest to remember then.

[The two of them have such a history together, after all. It makes Saix remember a lot of things, especially now that he's tentatively letting himself.]

[... Oh. He blinks at that then with a small grin and a laugh looks away.]

Ok, that was cute.

[...Why do you never make any sense, Axel?]

What was cute?

[Because he's Axel]

What you just said, obviously.

[... And now he's gonna try and take a taste of this stuff--AUGH.]

Yikes. That's... different.

[Of course. Abandoning the dice, Saix comes over closer and tilts his head to the side.]

What are you trying, then?

[The bottle in his hand gets a very nasty glare from Axel before he holds it out to Saix. He supposes he should have expected such a weird taste from something called "Doomshine."]

Ugh. Whatever the hell this is.

[That sure is a slow eyebrow raise.]

Why would you choose something named that?
