Let the Festival Begin [Day 143 | Day 144]

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!

[Thanks for just now joining the class, Frederic]

...No. I've been told I should change that.

[He would be the tardy one, wouldn't he?]

I'm sure those that have told you that have mentioned that you are missing out on some of the basic fundamentals of human life.

Humans are not rational creatures by default. Some have the skill and the mindset to be so even from an early age, but even those who are like that can still find themselves given in to intense anger, joy, excitement, upset should the right moment arise.

Emotions can be painful, but without them, life is simply... empty.

I'm more aware of that than you think.

That's... something that can happen if you get involved with Darkness.
orzelbialy: (♭ what... ?)

[personal profile] orzelbialy 2014-01-23 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly there's a balance to be had? To be one extreme or the other doesn't seem... healthy.

Of course there is. Most people fall within the middle of the spectrum. Very few are capable of pure Light, and even most Darkness is... artificial, at this point.

One of the events which started off the invasion of Darkness over many worlds involved people making things they were better off not creating. The result was artificial 'Heartless', creatures of Darkness that encourage its spread.
orzelbialy: (♭ what... ?)

[personal profile] orzelbialy 2014-01-24 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
But there are true... "Heartless" as well? Ones not created but naturally formed?
orzelbialy: (♭ what can you do?)

[personal profile] orzelbialy 2014-01-24 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
... forgive me. As much as I want to understand I simply find so much of this going over my head.
croceamors: (icon by nolumberjack) (dismiss < Well who gives a damn)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-24 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's not surprising. I'm not expecting much.
orzelbialy: (♭ Frederic is not amused with you)

[personal profile] orzelbialy 2014-01-24 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
[NOT... SURE... IF INSULT...]

... no I suppose not.
croceamors: (trilies) (flip > Do I murder)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-24 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
[THINGS THAT ARE COMMON WITH SAIX]

It... likely won't be an issue here, so long as the Heartless don't show up here as well.
orzelbialy: (♭ I am the only one here...)

[gross internal sobbing why does he make friends with people like this]

I've yet to see any enemies from Polka's world. I imagine everything including creatures of that sort were destroyed.

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-25 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You and I both did, along with all these others. If we survived, who's to say that the creatures we fight against haven't also?

Besides, I know for a fact that a few Lesser Nobodies survived. [He shows what he means when, a second later, a Corridor of Darkness opens up and his Berserker Nobody steps through. If Frederic hasn't seen it around the Bastion before... Well, here it is now.]
orzelbialy: (♭ what... ?)

[personal profile] orzelbialy 2014-01-26 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... yes. That does make more sense. I suppose we just haven't encountered them yet.

[Boy howdy does Frederic hope Ruined Body isn't somewhere out there. That would be a mess for all involved.]

With how scattered everything is, there's no telling when or if we'll ever run into creatures from our respective Worlds. Still, I'd rather think about these things instead of being caught unaware.
orzelbialy: (♭ what can you do?)

[personal profile] orzelbialy 2014-01-26 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's an understandable thought. Better safe than sorry, I believe is the old adage.
