[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.

Comments

[prana]

(His comment makes her smile. How could she have forgotten? Diva loves her, even if she's not here and was in the process of betraying him to save him but details...)

I did that once before. (Then she ended up here.

It's frustrating in a sense to have all of her hard work ripped out from beneath her though there is little point in expressing how disgruntled she is.)

I haven't fully decided what I will do here. First day jitters. (An easy thing to blame it on.) You?

[driverslicense]

I feel...the same. [He supposes; the only other time he remembers being this conflicted, he wound up technically returning to his old, original purpose instead of creating a new one.]

[...But it seems clear that neither of them are suited to petting bibirus in their new lives.]

It's only a new chance if it's— [He pauses, remembering the word Naesala gave him.] Comfortable. [Though that doesn't sound quite right, either.]

[prana]

(The poor bibiru. They are just so accustomed to doing nothing other than look cute to receive pets and here they are, being denied of their purpose.)

Really? Is that how it is... (She doesn't sound all that convinced by that...)

Comfort is important, I agree, but nothing worth having ever came easy. Isn't that the common approach?

[driverslicense]

Perhaps...that wasn't the right word.

[He's quiet a moment as he thinks of the right way of putting it, but eventually gives up.]

Starting a new life is not that easy. [But he might not have a choice, at this point.] But, as long as we are here...we have to do something.

[prana]

It would be a waste of time otherwise. (To not do anything, she means.)

At any rate, it's ample opportunity to learn something new.
