Tana-baa-ta

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 ♥))

You know it! What do I need to do? Look troubled and in need of help?

Fear not, fair lady, for I have for you here... the sweet promise always waiting with open arms, for the lost and the confused: the offer of pretty, empty words that allow the audience to fill in the blank!

Also known as: the spell 'Jewel.'

[ he casts it. a little zephyr of holy magic zips around-- first around Shadow Fiend, and then it dives down to her shadow, buzzing around it like a confused bumblebee trying to figure out a place to land. In the end, the little spell-mote zips back up to the table, and drops, tired, onto the deep red tablecloth.

It's a starkly black and white stone. once he's done looking surprised at the way the spell had tiredly flopped itself down... ]


Huh~. A tourmaline quartz.

[reaching out to pick it up]

Oh, it's really pretty! Kinda mysterious looking, like ink got trapped inside a crystal.

The quartz portion is so clear, too... That's a bit rare for one of these little soul-sampling stones, I'll have you know. Actually... Hold it up nearer to this light. Hmm. If you look closely...


...It appears almost as if the tourmaline is drawing all the inclusions within the stone inward, toward its core growth. An interesting visual effect.

[holding it up to the light as directed]

Oh, I think I see what you mean! What does that mean for my fortune?

A clear stone is one devoid of impurities. 'Impurities' IS a bit of a loaded word, of course... in a gem, it is a neutral term, referring to any elements contained in the stone that break from its most basic, underlying, mathematically perfect structure.

I'd say...

As the tourmaline clearly takes on the impurities within the quartz, calling them to itself, to create the stone's unusually unblemished quality...

...so, too, does this one. You're a hard worker, aren't you? Our most silent Rose.
