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!]

[oh yeah she starin'! thanks for taking one for the team, rubato]

Think you can do it without someone having to close their eyes?

Easy, yes. Most of that was just patter. But the point of a fortune is you're asking for theatre, no?

Oh, is that it? I thought it was asking for magic.

Well, yes.

But the theatre makes it interesting for me.
Anyway, you want one, hand out, it's got to accumulate somewhere.

[offers her hand]

_{[ he casts the spell. a bubble of light twirls out from around his hand, starting at the pulse point of his wrist, and then matches that same dance, around Azdaja's. It shrinks in on itself, becoming a solid shape, rippling with a brief rainbow of light...

it feels like something is briefly in conversation with her. but she can't possibly fathom the shape of the question.

the rainbow resolves into a stone: a dragon's blood jasper. ]}

Hm~. Now that IS interesting.

Oh, cool. What is it?

It's a chert. _{Funny word.} Jasper, in part, and fuchsite...
But those are just words, really. They would be interesting words, if these stones were capable of calling anything, but they aren't. What this means, to my eye...

...'Tis a stone with a dueling nature. The more vibrant inclusions, unable to be suppressed, in full, by a subdued, keep-to-itself, green.

That's just what I think, anyway. Otherwise, I'd just say it looks quite rose-like, doesn't it.

[Turning it in her fingers, looking at the colors.]

Appropriate, too. I'm going by the name Azdaja now.

_{[ hey. hey, this is going startlingly well. he was annoying about knowing she contained to herself a little ember of rebellion AND the conversation didn't shut down. look at THAT, lethe!!! ]}

Oho~. A wicked serpent, in our midst? We have a few of those around here.

Oh really? Anyone I know?

[haha this is jokes, she doesn't know anybody]

Who knows~? It is the knowledge of the wanderer only how lay the true shape of their road.

...Oh, come on. You've been lurking out in the bush. You could have chatted with our local Snake, the, for all I know.

No, no, I understand. I'm just reevaluating some of my expectations.

Don't worry about it.

...Hn.

_{[ be cryptic. he's already got someone else strolling up to get either a rock or some cards. ]}

[buddy that's HER line!!!]

Anyway. While thinking of names, Quetzalcoatl came up.

It made me think of you.

You'd make a good Quetzalcoatl, if you felt like it.
