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!

A lot of the side effects are caused by not having enough water in your system. And you're too young to be getting hangovers.

[He reaches out and steadies her hands carefully.]

[ourlegends]

M'not drinkin' anythin' bad ... I think.

[ It was a murmur, but AZ could probably hear it. And understand it. She was slurring, but still mostly coherent. With steadier hands now thanks to AZ, she took another sip of her water. ]

[gianthobo]

It was alcohol.

[He crouches near her and moves so she can lean on him if she wants.]

[ourlegends]

T'was good.

[ She'll take advantage of you for leaning though, since her head's feeling a bit dizzy. ]

[gianthobo]

[He just... gently pats her back.]

It might taste good, but it's not good for you. It makes a lot of people act very stupidly.

[ourlegends]

[ It's at this point that her focus on the conversation is totally shot and she just starts giggling. ]

E-ey, Missur AZ! We brought a huuuuuuuuge bull back today! It was ... was totally hard. Really ... really hard.

[gianthobo]

[... Well okay. He'll just try to make sure she doesn't hurt herself.]

You're not hurt, are you?

[ourlegends]

Kinda sore .... got some bruises!

[ But she doesn't seem concerned at all about that. She's giggling more. Poor intoxicated tiny girl. ]

[gianthobo]

... Just try to make sure you don't make them any worse.

[He's debating just picking her up and carrying her to the apartments. Or finding N.]

[ourlegends]

S'ok, there's no more haulin' a giant bull ...

[ That might not be a bad idea, she probably needs to rest. And have her boyfriend make her rest. ]

[gianthobo]

... You should lie down anyway.

[He carefully starts trying to move her so he can pick her up in a bridal carry. Doing this one-handed is just going to end up in an awkward position.]

[ourlegends]

[ She's not going to resist this. Actually, once he gets her lifted, she's going to giggle more. ]

Wheeeeee ~ I'm up hiiiigh!

[gianthobo]

[... This is not untrue.]

Let's find N.

[Gonna start searching for your green-haired boyfriend...]

[ourlegends]

[ No, because AZ is rather tall. ]

N ~ We're gonna go find N ~

[ Lots and lots of giggling here. She seems very happy to be on the way to see her boyfriendo. ]
