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 ♥))

_{[ hand: is hold. feels different from usual. angel devil is doing his best warm, attentive, yielding Human Being impression today, for the sake of all the fortunes. ]}

Close your eyes... you don't really need me to tell you that right now, it looks like... and if you don't mind... just for where our hands touch. Just for a moment, it's all I need to see. But for that moment...

...

Don't hide.

[ yawns, closes eyes ]

Where would I even hide...?

Re: ROCK FORTUNES

Well, it is a small pasture.

_{[ he waits, though. until he can feel an uptick in that ambient current of life beneath his fingers, even if it's not a fully honest one. ]}

_{[ gosh bless. this is a sleepy goddamn cat. ]}

How much of that sedative did you take?

Re: ROCK FORTUNES

[catposting]

More than I'm used to.

[ can he open his eyes yet ]

<sub>[ he's cast his spell, it's over and done, but he's got a little purse to his lip, now. blood fiend can do what he likes, but it's a perception of vulnerability that makes him feel subtly on edge.


...don't ruin it, he tells himself. it's easy enough to keep an eye out on a sleepy cat. he lets go of his hand.

Left behind, is...
A watermelon tourmaline. ]</sub>

There. Your reflection, cat.

Re: ROCK FORTUNES

[ he blinks, then bursts out laughing. the drowsy edge makes him sound younger, somehow. ]

That's... sweet of you. Thanks, teammate.
