[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.

There, that's better. "Yeah, it'd be pretty bad if every time one of us showed up there was a huge upheaval," Pepper agrees. "Now it's just like walking through a door, basically."

The Foreigners had not always been welcome, in Keeliai, but Dreamfolk are a normal occurrence here. Being part of every day life was nice. Sure, sometimes there would be the odd person who'd probably have issues with Dreamfolk, but on the whole they just got to live here like anyone else, and in Pepper's opinion that was great.

"Oh, yeah, we've got a China," she confirms, smiling more broadly. "It's near Japan, so that makes some sense that the thin spots would be near to each other, too. Is 'kaikyaku' your world's name for what we are, like your version of calling us Dreamfolk?"

If it was just that easy, at least on the lands, at home, that'd be nice. It's not, though, but he shrugs in agreement. It really had sort of been like walking through a door, unnoticed and simple.

"Oh, yeah," Rokuta barks a short laughter, nodding, "it actually is. So, the people who come over from China are called sankyaku, and the ones from Japan kaikyaku, which means mountain guests and sea guests... you can probably figure out where they usually appear in our world from that."

And for all the troubles kaikyaku could have, at least they'd end up on land they could easily find nearby villages in... the sankyaku had less luck, with an ocean between them and any properly inhabited and cultivated land.

"Haven't had much thought about it yet, but the situation really is kinda similar over here... just appears people come from more places here."
