LUNAR FESTIVAL | DAY THREE | ELDERS & FIREWORKS DISPLAY

[paradisamods]

[Just as before, today finds two new figures standing in the courtyard. They are great figures of the past for some residents. Perhaps their stories can be shared?

In the city, people are talking rather excitedly about an event to take place in the evening. They say a great fireworks display is scheduled, and they can't wait to catch a glimpse of it. It's said to be an extraordinary show.

Will you pay patronage to the elders? Will you grab a seat for the show?]

ELDER | ANDRASTE

[paradisamods]

[A woman clad in armor stands not far away. While she appears quiet, as if watching people with a motherly smile, she also stands as if ready for battle.

Will she be recognized by those of her world?]

[wolfuncaged]

[If it had been a few years ago the answer would be a resounding 'no'. But you don't hang out with Sebastian Vael for long before you're able to recognise the face he always has over his crotch.

...Don't tell Andraste that your companion wears her face as a belt over his crotch. Just don't.

Fenris will be standing to one side, watching her uneasily.

Woman you're supposed to bed dead :|]

[courageous_wit]

[has just been taking note of all these people, wondering who they are, when she notices Fenris eyeing this one]

Fenris? Are you all right?

[wolfuncaged]

[He kind of mutely points at Andraste for a moment]

...Do the dead often appear here?

[courageous_wit]

...Erm, yes. I've spoken with people who are dead in their own world, but are alive here.

[wolfuncaged]

Do they look as she does? A ghost?

[courageous_wit]

No. I think this is a castle event, and she really is just a spirit who is only in Paradisa temporarily.

[wolfuncaged]

How...strange.

She is a very powerful figure in my world. A religion is based upon her actions.

[courageous_wit]

You mean that she is a central figure in the religion, or simply her actions?

[wolfuncaged]

She is a prophet, a bride of the Maker, our God. Her actions founded the Andrastian religion.

[courageous_wit]

A... bride...? [not sure what that means in his world]

[wolfuncaged]

Yes. A...wife? Do you have marriage in your world?

[courageous_wit]

But... you do mean a figurative bride?

[wolfuncaged]

No a...spiritual one? I do not understand it well, Sebastian tried to explain it to me...

[courageous_wit]

Oh, I see. So it's like a nun in my world. They call themselves brides of Christ.

[wolfuncaged]

Yes, we have Chantry sisters who devote their life to spreading the Chant of Light.

[courageous_wit]

What's the Chant of Light?

[wolfuncaged]

They are the words of the Andrastian religion.

[courageous_wit]

Ah, sort of like the Bible, then? A holy text?

[wolfuncaged]

Yes. That sounds about right.

[courageous_wit]

How fascinating!

[wolfuncaged]

It is if you hear Sebastian speak of it. I know only a little.

[courageous_wit]

I'll be sure to ask! [wants to learn everything ever]

[ofkirkwall]

[ Festivals, not really her thing, she'd been turned off after having to attending all those bloody noble parties after being crowned Champion. But there's only so long until boredom gets the better of her and she marches out to see what the fuss is about.

Now she's not a devote follower of religion, but she knows the Maker's Bride when she sees her and honestly? Those statues do not do her honor. ]

Maker's Breath. [ At least she didn't say Andraste's ass or anything. ] Here's a face I never thought I'd see.

[shipper_on_deck]

...Andraste's a - fuck. I mean. Um.

[...what does one say to the freaking prophet person religion thing.

...

...

...]

Sebastian wears your face as a belt over his crotch!
