[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

[corundrum]

Ah, see, I can't even tell if that's a compliment or not in this world.

[They laugh a little, as if the matter isn't of much concern to them, but it is a little troubling that even the basics of how things work here are so wildly different that it seems they'll have to relearn a lot from scratch.]

[priforprince]

It's very high praise.

[ If you were a Princess, Hibiki would never let you go.

She lifts her beverage in a small toast. ]

To illumination.

[corundrum]

[A toast is another thing Padparadscha doesn't recognise, but it seems to them like some kind of variation on a salute, so they smile slightly and tap a closed fist gently against their chest to express solidarity despite not having a drink.]

Well, I have as healthy a respect for it as anyone. [Both literal and figurative illumination.]

[priforprince]

[ This tea is the best thing about this entire puniverse so far. Hibiki feels fully confident she's going to enjoy this sojourn purely because this is a society that has produced chocolate tea.

She's quite pleased when she lowers her cup. ] May you make only brilliant discoveries.

[corundrum]

Hm, but that sounds a little bit boring, huh? [As old as Padparadscha is, it's hard not to appreciate new discoveries of all kinds, not just brilliant ones. After all, there's not much left to surprise someone after that long.

Still, since this human seems mostly interested in food and philosophy, Padparadscha thinks it might be time to look over the rest of what's here. Stretching one arm up and running it through their hair, Padparadscha waves a little lazily with the other as they start to turn away.]

Well, it was an interesting talk, little one. Until next time.

[priforprince]

[ You should get her on the topic of entertainment. Then you'll really have a broken record on your hands. ]

Au revoir.

[ Hibiki goes to sip her tea, then pauses with a rather confused look on her face.

"Little one"? ]
