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 ♥))

[There's a light, amused snort at that. He sits back, closing his eyes to reach blindly into the pouch, then scatters four shells onto the cloth.]

Ah... let's see. A bonnet, a button, a clam, and a cone.

Lots of truth and trust elements among these, and feminine energy. A friendship or connection you're uncertain about. A bond that needs healing, but vanity gets in the way.

Goodness, Pondie, that one must have been a real thinker for you, don't strain your oracular powers so quickly. ...But...

_{[ he reaches out and pokes at the cone shell, at little. ]}

Not a bad job~. You've got the gist of how the real success stories do it, anyway.

You don't need to call out my novice divination skills like that, Angie.

I'm well aware they won't compare to yours.

I'm saying you clearly have the bones..... shells.... to really get somewhere with it! The key is more steps. At least fish some kind of confession of information out of me on the way. "To submit unto the depths of the ocean, one must submit to the depths of the sellllf"... some silliness like that.

[He chuckles.]

I'm not quite sure I have the right flair for the dramatic to pull that off.
