Tana-baa-ta

[survivaltricks]

WHO: everyone!
WHERE: the pasture
WHEN: day 22, all day

[the morning of day 22 begins with a light drizzle, as has been typical for the past few days. but despite the damp weather, a playlist of music also echoes across the pasture, luring you towards the center!]

[there, you will find that someone has planted a large bamboo tree, which is surrounded by wooden tables that are covered with colorful slips of paper and pens. a colorful sign, decorated with random doodles of stars, clouds, suns, and other fun shapes, contains a set of instructions:]

WELCOME TO TANABATA!

WRITE A WISH ON A PIECE OF PAPER AND TIE IT TO THE BAMBOO TREE.

HAVE FUN!

[the music and the bamboo wishing tree are a great start to the festival, but other people have been hard at work to make this a day to remember, right?]

[it's time to celebrate Tana-baa-ta!]

((FEEL FREE TO MAKE YOUR OWN TOP LEVELS IN THIS POST AS WELL! I made a few to get things going, but you should all run wild and free and thread to your heart's content ♥))

The only excusable wall shove is a kabedon. Just keep that in mind!

I never saw him use it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

[noarchitact]

If you'd like me to introduce you I can.

[noarchitact]

A bunny. [ :3 ] And, yes, Tempo is certainly something else.

Do you mind if I give it a try... although I'm certainly not going to do as well as he did.

[ well, he needed to see a certain someone on Clover anyway.

(lyra. it's lyra. he won't make sonata read and he somehow knows zenith would laugh in his face.)

Crois approaches the booth, eying the roulette with a hum. ]

Let's see . . . so it's betting on where it lands, si?

Well you have four shells here: a pyram shell, a mussel, a clam, and a keyhole limpet.

This is a good group. There are some matching themes here of determination, friendship, communication, and stability.

You are developing new connections both in a platonic and romantic sense but are so used to having your emotions protected that you aren't certain about what your own feelings mean at times. Your determination will see you through future hardships, but you must learn to be flexible.

[he huffs softly, amused]

Yes ma'am, only kabedons from now on.

[soulsurvivore]

Mm.

But not here.

Re: SHOOTING GALLERY

[afineknight]

A victory!

[ He chuckles, handing the gun back over to him. ]

Re: CONCHOMANCY (seashell divination)

[leonheartedly]

Got it.

Thanks for the reading.

[strateelgic]

It's honestly not that difficult to achieve that sort of thing when food is involved.

Four of Spades. I'm sure of it. Want to do the honors?

More like, since we're all trapped in here with each other, and all of us are dangerous.

...I've been told my views on this subject are on the pessimistic side, so don't let it get to you.

Re: CONCHOMANCY (seashell divination)

[wants_the_phd]

[??????]

You haven't already told them?

[wants_the_phd]

You know, I'd really like that, actually!

Doesn't have to be this moment, but definitely at some point!

Blossom??

[ rolls over idk, 3 times. ]

Better...?

[catposting]

Nnnnnnngh.

I suppose you're simply going to squeal and continue to pretend that you were always just a sheep.

[catposting]

Murals of all six flocks, plus a sheep and sheep-lookalike kissing under some stars, with descriptions beside each. Only shepherds can read the text.

Rose's was... let's see.

"A house receiving the rare blessing of the beast, Rose has always had a stubborn streak, but simply wish to spread their convictions to others."

And the text beside the couple was...

"Every summer the flocks come together to celebrate their unyielding sense of community and love.
As inspired by the star crossed lovers who shine, fated to only meet once, in the stars above.
Perform this rite with passion and fervor, and may you all be blessed.
That last part did not rhyme. Wait no don't carve that--"

[ yes he knows that by heart shut up ]

[finalbows]

Just filling in my role, today, as prophet. You go have fun, dear. ...Make some memories.

[wants_the_phd]

[haha nerd]

I guess it's as good a reason for a party as any...

[watercress]

...how does magic work in your world? We have academies, but this sounds different.

<sub>[c) that person who was with him--
that person--


he truly misses that person. that person is still right by his side.

they would have wanted him to try. he knows, painfully, in his heart, that the way he already attempted of making that happen isn't one they would have wanted, if they understand fully what it meant.

but
right now,
this person, who is still, shyly, borrowing these unexpected days to live
still can't help but dream of what it will look like when it's over.
in another world, there is still something he has to protect, isn't there?
...it's all he can bear to hope for.

carefully, the man who dreams of becoming a dove writes his wish. ]</sub>
