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.

[ Maybe surprisingly, Duke fits into that second group.

The look on the knights face as the woman deflects questions of how she knows is one of 'really-' but fine, one charm for the knight.

[As one might guess, dragons don't usually get socks or... talon cozies. So anyone wandering by the gazebo today will no doubt spot Paarthurnax staring curiously down at his gifts. The saddle is easy enough to guess at, but....]

[Knitted... talon... cozies...]

[Yeah he's never heard of these things in his life. Or knows what they are, even. Someone help Grampadragon out here in solving this mystery?]
blackblooded: (why does this exist)

This entire thread is about gender stuff

[Time to answer one of the great mysteries of the Bastion.

Who's brave enough to ask Crona to get in the ring with Pyth or join in on tug of war?

"I see we're both old now." Rosethorn protested the charm at first but leans heavily toward amusement on the matter right now. Duke can probably hear it in her voice. There's no sense getting offended, and even if they aren't her gods, turning down their tokens and favors seems rude.

There have been a few days she's felt very old, but today isn't one of them.

[Kaoru has no idea where the wall came from, and he spends a good deal of time pacing around it, Tama-chan following behind him - just to be sure it's real and not some rickety thing that will collapse under his weight. Satisfied, he steps back, surveying the hand and footholds.

He is so doing this.]


What's the time limit? Do we get any practice runs, or do we just go all-out and try to manage it first time?

[There is at least one person who seems to be having a lot of fun with these. AZ drifts from game to game, sometimes watching and sometimes playing.]

[For those who have the misfortune to be his opponents, they'll find that AZ does not go easily. Even when matched against opponents who are better than him, the giant musters his pieces together and makes a final push.]

[Those playing against him in the Risk-like game though will find that he has a tendency to attack brutally and quickly, without saying much of anything.]

"I'm more confused where the idea came from." Duke shrugs, a bit of a smile forming. "I'd been the object of 'no way are you that old' for a while, to be recognized as older is a bit of a surprise."

[When the music just stops, Zia's thrown way off. Still, she only hesitates for a moment when she sees some of the others getting up at the gazebo to play songs instead before, harp guitar in her hands as always, she runs up to join them. Everyone there's a stranger, but it's hard to stay awkward for long; she's in her element here more than anywhere.

She'll be singing and playing throughout the night, looking consistently delighted. Eventually, being so cheerful is going to give her the nerve to hop off the gazebo and dance right into the audience, sometimes as she plays—don't look too interested or she's liable to drag you out of your seat and get you to dance with her.

evacuate: (so i packed my things and ran)

[personal profile] evacuate 2014-01-09 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Good as she may be, Zia can't just sing forever. singing. Every now and again she'll be taking a quick break over by the longtable, grabbing snacks and drinks.

If you want to have a conversation that doesn't involve dancing, now is the time.

[SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS

Aren't you girls excited?! Because Aoi's excited! Though she's running back and forth across the area, she keeps stopping at one end of the chain to stretch—only to run off again towards any ladies who aren't getting their butts over to the tug-of-war so that she can drag them over herself.

[Ippo had been doing his own thing, generally wandering around the festivities when he spotted his new friend running back and forth near a chain. His curiosity won over and he approached, holding up a hand in greeting; might as well find out what all the energy was for.]

Hey there, what's got you so energetic?
amphibian: (would you look at yourself)

[personal profile] amphibian 2014-01-09 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
The tug of war, of course! [She gestured towards the chain, though the movement might've been better described as flailing.] I've gotta go find all the girls so everyone gets to participate and we can start!
windgod: (Bashful)

[personal profile] windgod 2014-01-09 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well that sounds like fun. Is this just an event for the girls?

[Admittedly this whole situation was fun...considering this was the end of the world; he knew this wouldn't last forever, but he'd been enjoying it for what it was.]

Well I'm sure you'll do fine...I don't think I'd be very good in a Tug of War honestly.
amphibian: (a breath of wind could blow you away)

[personal profile] amphibian 2014-01-09 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! No boys allowed! [Aoi giggled; it sounded like some sort of secret tug-of-war clubhouse, put that way.]

You think so? [Taking a moment to be a huge ham, Aoi flexed and laughed again.] I bet you'd do a great job! It's all about teamwork!
windgod: (Default)

[personal profile] windgod 2014-01-09 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's true, but I'm not all that strong...maybe a little bit, but compared to Night and Rin...

[Ippo was, as usual, wearing his incredibly baggy clothing; so all Aoi would see when he returned her flex was a small outline of the muscle beneath...though considering the bagginess of his shirt, it was kind of impressive to see anything at all poking through the fabric.]
