LUNAR FESTIVAL | DAY TWO | ELDERS & FIREWORKS

[paradisamods]

[The celebration continues in Paradisa. With so much going on, it's easy to catch the excitement high spirits that seems to be spreading among the townspeople--and even the residents.

In the courtyard, the same bright, inviting lights remain.

The two figures from before have left, replaced by two more. They stand poised, almost as if they are waiting to be approached. Will you?

Just past the gates, there seem to be an endless row of crates filled with various fireworks of all shapes and sizes. It seems Paradisa may be hinting at something.]

ELDER | CATTLEYA

[paradisamods]

[Beneath a beam of light is a tall, strong woman of quite a build. Even those passing by will find it difficult not to notice her. She stands with a large blade at her side, a gentle smile upon her lips.

A mixture of welcoming and intimidating, do you approach?]

[payback]

[Well, yes, she does approach!

Always curious about castle shenanigans, and back from a long time out of her own head, Rin is curious about what's going on down here in the castle. She comes closer to Cattelya gazing at the woman more like she's a painting than an aware person.]

[assassino]

[sidling up beside her :)]

Interesting, isn't it?

[disciplines]

[Hey there, Rin. Alleyne sees you looking, walking up casually and waving.]

Quite a sight, huh?

[foolreversed]

...

[oh

lord

what the fuck ]

[disciplines]

[Headtilt. Really, she shouldn't be surprised by anyone's reactions. Even after a year here of still being called out on how she dresses. Sigh.]

Something amiss?

[disciplines]

[Well, this is the last person she expected to see here. Alleyne didn't think much of what everyone was talking about yesterday, but when she sees the castle's now pulling from her home, she stops and sighs.

She's standing her, looking a mix between confused and curious.]

So it seems even the castle's heard of the Giant Killer, huh? Why am I not surprised?

[shipper_on_deck]

[just staring]

Now those look like they're capable of suffocating someone. Three someones, probably simultaneously.

[spiritusaequitas]

[Murph lets out a low whistle as he approaches]

... What's this, then?

[disciplines]

[The elf hears that, digging in one ear a bit, snorting lightly. Seems she's relegated to the role of bard today. She speaks without realizing exactly who is talking now.]

The Giant Killer.

ELDER | AVATAR ROKU

[paradisamods]

[Standing not far away under a similar light is a man, tall and proud and well on in his years. His robes of red are well kept, proudly displaying a symbol resembling flames that might be recognizable to few.

Will you acknowledge this spirit?]

[sworn]

[Vereesa approaches the man out of curiosity, paying special attention to the symbol on his clothing. He must be of great importance to be recognized during this holiday, so she bows before him to give him the respect he likely deserves.

She smiles as the man bows in return.]

What tales you must have. If only you could share them with us.

[amiable]

[ She doesn't come too close, but she is curious. Maybe she should stay the week at the castle after all. She wants to know what this is all about. ]

[lord_wizard]

[Felix stands close by, his eyes narrowed at the figure.

While it may no be obvious, the wizard is attempting to discern if they were ghosts or illusions, or something else entirely]

[wizard_redfive]

Pretty neat, huh?

[Dairine walks up and stands next to the other wizard, with Spot following right at her heel on his thin spidery legs.]

[azuredemonic]

[Hm. This is the first thing he sees that prompts him to properly get a better look, coming in closer and standing before the figure. There is something about him, he could not describe it, but the image simply feels strong.

He does nothing though. Only looks upon him with the respect he can only imagine it deserves. And perhaps nod his head to him. The nod in return is somewhat surprising, but pleasantly and perhaps encouragingly so]

FIREWORKS COMPETITION

[paradisamods]

[There is a clearing outside that is now filled with crates upon crates of fireworks. They come in all sorts of colors, shapes, sizes, and are just waiting to be launched. Conveniently, there are firework and rocket launchers nearby.

A short distance away is a row of several chairs, each with large boards set just beside them. The back of the chairs read "JUDGE". It seems Paradisa is trying to incite a bit of friendly competition in the form of fireworks.

Anyone is welcome to set off the rockets or sit back and score their attempts. Which will you do?]

[huffythedragon]

[Spike's eyeing the fireworks, but at least has the sense to keep away from them.

You know, because you don't want a fire breathing creature too close to explosives]

[gevurah]

[ She's not going to mess with fireworks, so Kate will be by a tree in the courtyard instead, leaning against it to watch the fireworks. ]

[hard_talker]

[OH HELL YES FIREWORKS. Mark is all over this, rooting through them to find ones that look interesting and building up his own little show pile]

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia was standing along the sidelines with her hands pressed against her ears. The fireworks are exceedingly loud. It is only when she notices the figure piling up the bundles that she approaches, hands still in position. She shouts over the noise. ]

Is the castle testing its cannons?

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine is nearby and also rooting though the fireworks, with a look that spells out trouble.

Has she told anyone about her childhood pyro tendencies? No? Good.]

Re: FIREWORKS COMPETITION

[wheatdos]

[Wheatley shuffles in, looking around rather suspiciously. He looks like a hell of a suspicious dude, just walking around, hands in his lab coat, circling around the vicinity of the fireworks a few times. When suddenly, an idea sparked into his head]

"Oh...oh what have we here? Oh what are these doing here? Just a, just a set of explosives just... just sitting here? Mmm. That's strange, and certainly can't be that safe. Haha, in fact, this... this is a hazard isnt it? Some unsuspecting passerby could just accidentally light one of these, and then... BOOM! I mean, it would be an awful scene, just thinking about the outcome makes me a little sick really. Eugh. Can you imagine it, just the severed parts, everywhere? There would be the fire too, that would be a problem. You-you'd have the fire on one side... and the severed body parts on another. It would be truly, truly tragic, really.

[He doesn't sound very sad when he's saying that. And is he talking to himself? He sounds like as if he's talking to everyone in the vicinity. Someone needs to keep an eye on this guy, fo' realz.]

[craggyfaced]

[Durge has taken a more academic interest in the fireworks. He's seen these work before on another world, but never really got a chance to examine them.

So he's doing that now.

Anyone who might walk by will find the knight is in the process of carefully dissecting a firework with a dagger]

[workaphilic]

[There is a tall dude in a dark coat rummaging through those crates. Is he participating? Wow, he looks pretty eager.

Oh wait.

No, he's just gathering them up and carrying them off.

Is it still stealing if you take it from the castle.....?]
