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.

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?

A chocobo? Is that what he is? I think there's a few here already. I think they're staying by the farm.
paeon: (/chuckle)

Really? [ She smiles softly. ] What a turn of good fortune. Could you perhaps point me in that direction?

[He points over towards the farm, grinning.]

They're really cute. I like them a lot.
paeon: (/poke)

[ She makes note of the location, ears twitching a bit at Ryu's comment. ]

Chocobos can be quite the darlings. Presumably you've ended up on their good side if you've knowledge of it.

I'd like to ride them, but I wouldn't want to do that without permission. They have owners, and I don't want to annoy them.

[He's... gotten in trouble for playing with animals before.]
paeon: (/chuckle)

[personal profile] paeon 2014-02-02 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I shouldn't imagine that you do. [ She nods in understanding. ] They aren't quite the sort of animal you can simply climb upon and that's that. If there are more here, perhaps lessons will be in order.
amnesiadragon: (maybe i'll even buy a sheep)

[personal profile] amnesiadragon 2014-02-02 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd like that. There's a lot of things that I want to learn that I never got the chance to at home. I've ridden a whelk, but it's not the same as a horse or a chocobo.
paeon: (/pimpin' hat)

[personal profile] paeon 2014-02-07 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll first have to obtain permission from whoever is in charge of their care. Provided we can acquire their favor, I've no problems with giving you instruction. They do quite a lot of the work on their own, but a good rider never leaves all the work up to their mount.
amnesiadragon: (seagull flies)

[personal profile] amnesiadragon 2014-02-07 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yeah. And it's important to know how to take care of them, too. I really like all kinds of animals.
paeon: (/think)

[personal profile] paeon 2014-02-10 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, do you? Have you any pets? [ She pauses. ] Here or previously, I suppose.
amnesiadragon: (maybe i'll even buy a sheep)

[personal profile] amnesiadragon 2014-02-11 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
We were always moving, so not really... but I got to ride a whelk for a while and it was really nice.
paeon: (/huh)

[personal profile] paeon 2014-02-11 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
What manner of creature is a whelk?

[ Hopefully nothing like a horse. O'danya is sure she must still have those hats somewhere to prove how odd an event the uma bugyo's arrival in Eorzea was. ]
amnesiadragon: (gotta turn it around)

[personal profile] amnesiadragon 2014-02-12 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Whelks are kind of like... um...

[How do you even describe a whelk?]

They look kind of like a snail shell, with a face on the end. They float, and you can ride them.
