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!

Okay. Let's go.

[Now is later than 10 seconds ago anyhow.]

[croceamors]

Alright.

[Just gonna... carefully push himself up. Not gonna fall down. Right. This is going to be a 'stay on his feet' event.]

[coolerthansora]

[Not having experienced this before, Roxas gets up a little too quickly and has to grab for the table. Or possibly Saix. One of those is closer than the other.]

Woah.

[croceamors]

[Things he is not expecting: that.]

Ah- [He wobbles a bit but manages to not topple over.] Why did you do that?

[coolerthansora]

Things are- dizzy.

[Things meaning himself. Okay. Okay, letting go now.]

I'm good now. It stopped.

[croceamors]

You're sure?

[Incoming head pat, Roxas.]

[coolerthansora]

Yeah.

[Let him just fix his hair again and off we go. Sort of.]

Where are we going where there's pillows?

[croceamors]

People's rooms should have pillows, shouldn't they?

[What do you mean that's considered breaking and entering]

[coolerthansora]

Oh yeah. Yeah, the apartments aren't far.

[What are you talking about you can't break pillows.]

[croceamors]

We could even just... open a corridor. Maybe.

[coolerthansora]

Good idea. Then we could get- right in the middle of them. The pillows.

[croceamors]

Mm. Do you want to open it, or should I?

[coolerthansora]

I got it, I got it.

[Drunken portaling is clearly a good idea. Roxas manages to open one up. Hopefully it goes to the right place?]

[croceamors]

[Well, only way to find out! Saix takes Roxas' hand and tugs him through.]

[coolerthansora]

[Hey, that's his hand. In Saix's hand. Oh never mind we're going through. But wait...]

This isn't our apartment...

[Although at least it looks to be an apartment. Complete with--]

Pillows!

[croceamors]

I thought it was yours. Because. It's not mine.

[Oh well, that doesn't matter because yes! Pillows! Mission accomplished, good job team. With more wobbling, Saix reaches over to grab some.]

Got one.

[coolerthansora]

It's not mine either.

[Wait, we already established that. But yeah who cares, pillows. Roxas grabs one and thwacks Saix with it.]

[croceamors]

Grk-

[Clever boy, going for a sudden attack. That makes Saix falls back a bit, flailing. He nearly kicks him just out of instinct before thankfully remembering what they're supposed to do. So, just... grabbing a pillow and flinging it at Roxas' head.]

[coolerthansora]

Oof!

[His ability to dodge or even realize he should dodge seems somewhat lessened. He shakes his head and hoists his pillow up for an overhand blow!]

[croceamors]

[Right in the head, earning an awkward noise while Saix just goes for the random swinging approach.]

[coolerthansora]

[Random swinging seems just as effective. Roxas takes a pillow to the stomach and stumbles back against the couch from which they stole them, almost falling over.]

[croceamors]

[Roxas has more grace than Saix right now, who does fall over the couch when he tries to follow after. Oh fuck.]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas soon joins him, trying to swing at him again while still unbalanced and unfortunately following the momentum of the pillow.]

[croceamors]

[Hopefully whoever owns this apartment doesn't come back soon, because these two are embarrassments right now. Saix tries to hit him but instead just kind of ends up halfway off the couch.]

I forgot I had this icon

[coolerthansora]

[This is such a failure of a pillow fight, but it might at least have that "falling on each other" component if Roxas's next wallop succeeds in knocking Saix the rest of the way off the couch. And then. falling.]
