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.

Do I?

[ O'danya spares a confused smile for the younger woman, looking up to Daphnes in confusion. There doesn't appear to be anything special about her chocobo. He's well-bred, of course, but not many would take a wild bird for their mount and such an act is of dubious legality anyway. ]

I suppose that I might. His name is Daphnes.

Daphnes ...

[ She looks to the catgirl, and then back to the bird. Slowly, she holds a hand out to him, a smile forming on her face. ]

It's nice to meet you, Daphnes. And you as well, Ma'am.

[ Maybe she should show off her bird ... ]

[ Daphnes looks to O'danya, then looks to Hilda. He cranes out his neck and nips at Hilda's hand, giant beak almost encompassing the entire thing. Not done to bring pain or harm, but to startle and see how she reacts.

O'danya merely watches with her eyes alight with amusement. ]


It would be even better met if we share our names, would it not? I am O'danya.

[ She's dealt with this sort of thing with her Pokemon before, so Hilda doesn't pull away. She flinches a tiny bit, though; not too much, she hoped. She didn't want to scare him. The nip to her hand brought a tiny amount of pain, a familiar feeling that she had experienced with Unfezant a few times before. ]

Oh, right ... we have names too, don't we.

[ O'danya, meet socially awkward. And if you can believe it, her boyfriend is even more socially awkward. ]

I'm Hilda. It's nice to meet you, Ms. O'danya!

[ Daphnes pulls back after a moment, apparently satisfied by her reaction. He steps forward and butts his head against her shoulder with a pleased kweh! ]

Just O'danya is fine. We are well met, Hilda. Daphnes certainly seems to have taken a liking to you.

[ YAY bird approval! Hilda reaches up to pet him on the head, if he'll let her. ]

I'm glad! He seems very sweet. I wonder if he would get along with Unfezant ...

[ 'Ms' and 'Mr' and whatever prefix is most respectful is sort of a habit of hers, so m'afraid you might have to remind her often that you don't need the prefix, O'danya. ]
paeon: (/thumbs up)

[ Daphnes rears his head up into the petting. Wark! ]

Unfezant? Daphnes is a charmer to be sure, I shouldn't doubt that he and this Unfezant would be friends.

Oh, yeah, let me get Unfezant out ...

[ She takes a pokeball from her belt and calls him out. There is now a bird pokemon standing next to Hilda. He stretches his wings and makes a happy sound. Hilda knelt down and pet him for a moment, then stood again and offered her other hand to Daphnes. ]

This is Unfezant. He's one of my best friends.

[ She says that about all of her Pokemon. ]

Unfezant, say hello! Meet Daphnes and Ms. O'danya.

[ Unfezant makes another sound that seems as though he's greeting them, and Hilda smiles. Unfezant is usually fairly quiet and calm, but he's definitely interested to see another bird! ]

[ O'danya takes a staggered step back at the magic of the pokéball. Daphnes makes a similar motion, though O'danya is quick to calm him. It was like arcanism without the arcane texts required to channel the magic. ]

What sort of magic was that? I've never seen the like!

[ Daphnes meanwhile stands wary, but again reaches his neck out to Hilda's waiting hand. He does seem rather curious about the new creature in front of him that doesn't appear to be some kind of beast... Kwehhh? ]

Oh, the Pokeball? We use them in our world, to hold our Pokemon. Don't ask me the specifics of how it works, though, I definitely wouldn't be able to tell you that.

[ Hilda pets Daphnes again as he lets her, and Unfezant ruffles his feathers a bit in his own curiosity. ]
paeon: (/shrug)

[personal profile] paeon 2014-02-10 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Your... pohkaymon? They need special containment?

[ Daphnes ruffles his own feathers to match Unfezant. His are bigger! ]

It's not so much necessary as it is more a convenience. We're able to carry six of them at a time with us when we travel.

My boyfriend's only got two of them, though, and they usually wander around freely.

[ Yours are bigger, Daphnes! That is impressive! But we all know bigger doesn't always mean better-- no, Unfezant, don't turn this into a competition! He's ruffling his feathers again. ]

Only six? You could carry an entire menagerie with such items.

[ Daphnes lets his wings fluff out and lightly stamps his talons a few times. Look at how majestic he is! Look at how well-behaved! ]

[personal profile] ourlegends 2014-02-17 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs a little, sheepish. ]

Only six ... if any more of them are caught, they are sent to a PC program for storage and we have to store one of our active six if we want to take any others out.

Of course, I can't do that anymore ...

[ He sees and he is impressed! He also tries to imitate what Daphnes is doing for himself, stamping his talons and fluffing his wings. They're both pretty birdies. ]
