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 ♥))

We would never!

( despite the affronted gasp, she quickly giggles before shaking her head and gesturing to the two options. )

We have a roulette or a pachinko board. If you want to place a bet on a specific dish and win, you'll get an extra serving.

Absolutely not!! If I left books out about the specific demons here you all would be summoning them left and right!

Sure, if ya got novices handlin' 'em. Experienced wizards know better.

[ (throwing shade on the whole pasture) ]

So what, Miss Blossom. Am I s'posed t'just tell Miss Coco she's gonna be trapped there forever? Playin' her little fiddle, all alone?

[The handwriting is... poor. Abysmally poor. While everything is spelt correctly, it'll take a bit of squinting and head tilting to decipher the scrawled handwriting.]

Lily except Chronos because this is Chronos,

You are all very confusing, but also nice. I hope I can do better by you, as I seem to have caused some trouble with the confessional. Sorry. Perci explained that it was bad so I will try to adapt my protective measures to be less disturbing.

You are a good group.

You are better than you think you are. And there is always time to change the path you walk on. Please keep this in mind. I know that you are strong enough.

Be kinder to yourself. You are worthy of love, regardless of the falls you take or whatever slights you believe yourself to have done. You're allowed to grieve and hurt. But don't twist the knife in yourself.

Zenith

You are worthy of love. Of being loved and of loving. It's worth it to keep trying, even if it hurts.

Someday it won't. It may be closer than you think.

Spinel

Much like your namesake, you're a gem. It's only natural to want to protect the ones you love care for. But I will try to not step on your independence.

I do still want to spoil you a little, though.

Re: Tenderhearted Telegrams

[anonymutton]

Cacophonie

I want to try. But it's hard, sometimes.

I hope you have pleasant dreams.



I hope you find something equally pleasant in the waking world, though.

Re: Tenderhearted Telegrams

Lupin

I'm a little envious sometimes, of how assured you can be. But mostly, I admire you. I would like to be closer.

Re: EARLY EVENING - JUST AFTER SOME FIREWORKS

[wooliefrand]

I--I don't know, I didn't account for her! I'm glad she's still alive, but,,,


I-I have to find Stormy!

Odin

We don't have a lot of time together, but I always value what we do get. That said, it would be a crime not to make some more, wouldn't it?

Thank you for being patient with me.

Yata

Sometimes you overwhelm me. This isn't a bad thing at all.

I wish this world was kinder, so you didn't have to worry about whatever fresh hell awaits you between days of play. I wish you didn't have to worry about being "normal". I wish a lot of things.

But whenever you need it, I'll always be there- either for you to teach me how to play, or to hold you during the storm. I'll never complain, I promise.

Re: Tenderhearted Telegrams

[anonymutton]

Charon

Somehow, being with you is reassuring. I think that you're kinder than you realize, and it makes you a bit shy. It's a little endearing!

I hope that things ease up for you. I hope that one day here in the pasture isn't a new source of stress for you.

If you ever want a cup of tea, Clover's doors are open.

Minuet

I never feel more like a lost child than when you give me that look, like something is missing from me and it's terrible. I wish I could fix it easier, but I don't know what it is thats gone.

But please don't be sad for me. I'm better off here than I ever was.

Re: Tenderhearted Telegrams

Crescendo

Be gentler to yourself. Great changes don't happen in a day, cathood notwithstanding.

Re: EARLY EVENING - JUST AFTER SOME FIREWORKS

[secondbornsun]

Is Stormy gonna be able t'help?

[featherduster]

Profound words from the wise fortune teller.

. . . I'll keep them in mind.

Re: Tenderhearted Telegrams

[featherduster]

I have my ways~

[featherduster]

Whoa, there's no Fiend in that at all!

I'm Minuet.

Re: Tenderhearted Telegrams

[mykidisthebest]

If you can somehow convince him that it's a symbolic message full of my love and admiration, then go for it.

Re: EARLY EVENING - JUST AFTER SOME FIREWORKS

[wooliefrand]

[opens mouth

closes mouth]



I, was gonna say yes but that depends on if he feels like it,,,

[wants_the_phd]

Haha, the Rose theme is intolerable, is why.

Nice to meet you, Minuet.

[noarchitact]

...what? [ blinks. ] Blossom and Stormy can help with barn improvements? [ he peers at the photo. ] Wow, that's... beautiful. [ and he's a little jelly. ] I would love a kitchen in Bluebell. It would make preparing food so much easier.

Re: EARLY EVENING - JUST AFTER SOME FIREWORKS

[secondbornsun]

Aaaa. Well.

[ s m i l e s. when he next speaks his voice is almost. two-toned? there's a distinct ear-piercing sort of quality to it even though it's not like, a yell. blossom can physically feel the air reverberate with his words. ]

You'll convince him, won't ya Miss Blossom?
