The party is nearly over. Last drinks anyone? [Day 146]

Who: Everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 146
Where: All over the Bastion
What: Day 4 of the festival
Format: Any
Warnings: None

Yet another torch arrives in the wee morning hours, this one decorated with chains.

Today, the eldest of the Bastion and the youngest of the Bastion are gifted with another charm for their bracelets.

As for games, it seems to be strategy games all over the place! Games much like Earthly counterparts, such as Go, Shogi, Mahjong, Chess (even a 3D chess-like game, should you be so brave as to try it), Checkers, Risk (et al). Winners of these games will get a few more shards to add to their respective collections.

And there will also be a massive tower in the center of the Bastion, designed much like a climbing wall. Get to the top and retrieve the pendant in the set amount of time, and you'll earn another charm towards your bracelet!

As an extra to the ladies of the Bastion, there will be two special things exclusively for them - first off, Pyth will only be usable by ladies. Anyone who identifies as male will simply not receive a reaction from Ptyh should they step in to the pit. AND there will also be a special tug of war game for ladies only, using a chain. Acobi is the God of Abandon, and as such women will be free to do whatever they want today, regardless of their upbringing or beliefs. Go nuts, girls! The girls who win the tug of war will also get another charm, as well as two shards per person on the team that wins.

Evening will bring the next torch, this one adorned with a tower, and a massive feast of much healthier food and drink than what's been offered up until. Even if you eat and drink a great deal, you'll find yourself lacking any hangovers or stomach aches the following morning.

The soft music that's been playing every day of the festival will suddenly quit at around "5pm", and the remainder of the night will be filled with live music played by the NPCs, and even a few PCs should they choose to join in. The music will be in the gazebo with seats set up all around it like an outdoor performance stage, but with enough room up front for spontaneous dancing.

The night ends with this joyful celebration to close out the festival.

Niid, not at all.

[What is sarcasm]

We are creatures meant to live an eternal life. It is no easy task to drive us to the Mad Prince's domain. Such a thing requires... a certain amount of determination.

[For once, the dragon's tone is actually- negative. Bitter and disgusted.]

[Well, that commotion certainly draws his attention, long neck twisting as he sees the source of the sound. Ah, he sees. The dragon takes in a breath.]

Kaan!

[It's said suddenly and loudly, something that would normally make any beast take off especially when coming from such a loud predator. But Kyne's Peace is a Shout meant to calm beasts, whether in fight or in flight, meant to sink into them and bring about calmness. The first word... should be enough, he thinks.]

[Either way, he settles and nods to both rider and steed.]


Krosis, the creatures of this place have grown used to my presence and I to theirs. I did not mean to startle your steed. That is my mistake.

May you have the best of fortune in finding your footing here, then.

[ O'danya stills along with Daphnes, observing her now-calmed mount in concern. Her eyes track to Paarthurnax with a whole lot of wariness. The speaking dragon was mentioned, but she still cannot shake the instinct of defending herself. ]

You've enchanted him. Is such magic permanent?
wayofvoice: (Gaan Lah Haas + I miss you)

[personal profile] wayofvoice 2014-01-15 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Niid. It shall wear off soon enough. It was only one Word- such things are short lived. Yet in that time, I hope that he will understand I wish no harm.

[He says it all calmly, not seeming to take any offense at how the other is defensive. There could be far worse reactions, after all.]

Um... thanks.

[How does polite to dragon. But she's just gonna slip away now. Maybe she should make that too drinks.]

There's not a lot of people here, and I haven't seen you before.

[Simple enough.]

I'm Ryu. It's nice to meet you.
evacuate: (that we were nothing like the rest)

[Zia's singing as she passes by, and she of course can't just stop, but she beams and nods—and when an instrumental break in the song follows right after, she twirls right to him.]

You don't seem like you're having enough of one! [With a giggle, she holds out her hand.]
evacuate: (we fled far away)

[personal profile] evacuate 2014-01-16 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, quit whining. It's still a song! [She giggles and nudges his side with her elbow, turns back to the others, holds up one finger in a "wait" gesture, points at Zulf, points at them, holds her hand out, and then returns a thumbs-up before she looks back to Zulf, grinning.] We'll follow your lead.
fuckthemancers: (I see your star)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-01-16 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
But it's not...

[NNnnnn. Zulf looks as though he's halfway ready to make a run to the edge of the Bastion. This isn't what he wanted to do at all. His shoulders just stay slumped.]

Zia... it really isn't appropriate. [But fine. He takes in a deep breath and straightens himself up, eyes closing. The words don't take very much thought to recall at all. They've been with him since childhood, after all. He starts out humming, just to get the tune right, before he starts to sing properly.]

I set my sail
Fly the wind it will take me
Back to my home, sweet home...

Lie on my back
Clouds are making way for me
I'm coming home, sweet home.

[Colin laughs quietly, and he reaches out to take her hand, letting himself be swept right up into it]

I've got a reputation to keep as the weird one, don't you know?

[He's not the least bit worried about that statement. More importantly, he's actually a fairly decent dancer in his own right! By the time Zia gets them moving, he's following her steps with ease.]
individuates: (hee~!)

[a raised eyebrow and a light smirk as he rubs down scales on her snout, making her tail swish] But perhaps she has a little more sense than me, in keeping her feet firmly on the ground.
wayofvoice: (Faas Ru Maar + which I constantly)

[personal profile] wayofvoice 2014-01-16 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
That is her place, and for some it is a good one. Others prefer much higher places, areas only the daring go.

Whatever brings you the most contentment is what is good.
paeon: (/think)

[personal profile] paeon 2014-01-16 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ryu, is it? My name is O'danya Mitnu. Well met.

Would you happen to know of any place where a chocobo might find a good night's rest here?
paeon: (/think)

[personal profile] paeon 2014-01-16 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It may take longer than a single spell.

[ She is still worried for Daphnes, but as long as the dragon makes no further move and her mount isn't about to disappear into the personally-unexplored regions of this Bastion, she can be civil about it. ]

I've heard of you, though I apologize for not remembering your name. It was said you were less inclined toward mindless conquer and destruction as others of your kind may be.
dontyoujustwish: (you do know)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-16 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Did that man only teach you about fast, violent sex? You really have a lot to learn. Here.

[Now that they're close enough to the music, she's going to invade his personal space. The standard slow-dancing position isn't so bad, right? Well, this might be a little closer than standard.]

You do know how to lead, right?

There were other things, but he was a sadomasochist.

[Saix picked that up fairly quickly.]

[It's been a long while since he's had to dance with anyone, but slow dancing is hard to mess up. He gets himself into position and nods.]


I'm not that incompetent, at least.
wayofvoice: (Yor Toor Shul + Good men must die)

[personal profile] wayofvoice 2014-01-16 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That is how it often is.

[Just an accepting nod before she starts to talk of his kin.]

Ah, if you have met my kin, then there is well reason to worry. I am afraid not many have accepted my way of life. It is unfortunate.
dontyoujustwish: (good listener)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-17 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
What else did you do?

[Did you expect her not to ask.

Well then, where Saix leads, Anya will follow. Very closely and fluidly, as if there's a real tangible connection all along their bodies that keeps her within inches of being plastered to him.]
croceamors: (twilightshards) (oh yeah > It feels just like you took th)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-17 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[No, this is pretty standard as a matter of fact. Considering her questioning when she first found out they were having sex... Yeah. Saix keeps an eye on his feet as he speaks, not wanting to mess up while he's talking.]

Well, he was fairly willing to let me explore more often than not, so long as he got what he wanted in the end.
dontyoujustwish: (you do know)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-18 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Explore, huh? I hope you took full advantage of that.

[Really, do you need to stare at your feet?]
croceamors: (icon by nolumberjack) (dismiss < Well who gives a damn)

[personal profile] croceamors 2014-01-18 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just a little. It's been a while, ok, he doesn't want to step on any toes.]

I did before everything else happened, trust me. I'm an advantageous person when I want to behave something I'm interested in.

[Alright, now he'll stop looking at his feet, he thinks he's fine.]
amnesiadragon: (seagull flies)

[personal profile] amnesiadragon 2014-01-19 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
A chocobo? Is that what he is? I think there's a few here already. I think they're staying by the farm.
dontyoujustwish: (is this on?)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-01-19 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
You really are gay, aren't you?
croceamors: (spiralstarfall) (moron < Did I see you in a limousine)

[...]

If Barry was a woman, our interactions probably would have gone the same way.

[Barry was also a shapeshifter, so could very well be a woman, but that's not the conversation that was happening right now.]
