[EVENT] Moon and Mirrors (Welcome Mingle Log)

[khuimods]

Characters: ALL
Date: January 15
Location: At the Dreaming Bridge and all over Aifaran!
Situation: A large influx of Dreamfolk arrive in time for one of the Lunar Festivals, and they're all invited!
Warnings/Rating: N/A


A surprising amount of Dreamfolk have arrived within a short time frame - a peculiarity remarked upon by a number of Aifaran's residents. It is unusual in that it coincides with a lunar festival, one which only happens every fifty or so years.

Newcomers will find the streets packed with all sorts of people, stalls of fried and sugared foods, carnivalesque games and rides, and all other manner of things to do. Merchants are very keen to get their wares out there, and the stipend given may just burn a hole in your pocket when you see what's for sale.

"Sort of, yeah. I was here when the barrier between them was starting to seriously disintegrate and all sorts of weird stuff was happening. It sounds like it just got worse outside the barrier," she says, both concerned and excited by the prospect. Pepper is very definitely interested in seeing what's out there when she gets the chance.

The festival is still going on, which presents a lot of interesting opportunities but also a lot of potential distraction and unwise spending, seeing as Pepper loves shopping like it's a sport. "Do you wanna wander around here or check out other parts of the city? I hear the Weather Observatory has some weird magical tiles that no one can explain."

On instinct, at her words, the Fool's eyes are drawn to the horizon, towards what he might be able to see of the barrier that encompasses the Seaglass City. In the dim light it is not so easy to see it, yet his curiosity is undoubtedly piqued; there's the spirited of an adventurer in him.

"Magical tiles?" he asks, and that seems to answer her question for her. The Fool is certainly a bit of a spendthrift when left to his own devices, but the lure of the market place can't compare, really. "Let's visit the Weather Observatory."

Pepper follows the Fool's gaze for a moment, grinning up at the sky. The barrier that protected them from the wild forces beyond was up there, somewhere, like a magic bubble.

"Awesome." She extracts a map that was available at the Dreaming Bridge, already marked with spots she wants to go see. The Observatory is one of them, even if it's just an urban legend. "Let's see... looks like we head that way," she declares as they walk, pointing down a street that winds in the direction of the coast. There will probably be plenty to ooh and aah at as they go. "I heard some people talking about it - apparently the tiles sometimes move all on their own and rearrange into different patterns. It's supposed to be pretty, too."
