sheep_game | 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 ♥))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That can be arranged.

[taking a seat, hands crossed happily in his lap, watching Biscuit EXPECTANTLY!!]

Then I'll take some of that blueberry cake. With tea. ♥

S'got lemon in it too.

[cake and tea for the boy. sets them down with a flourish]

[FANCY!! he can't help but laugh]

You're really playing the part, aren't you?

Gotta do it right, ain't I?

Hn. . . I'd say you should focus more on doing it for fun more than doing "right."

After all, this festival is for you, too.

It's good work experience.

[. . .]

Biscuit.

???

[stands up]

[takes Biscuit's shoulders]

[gently pushes him into the seat]

There. Now I'm serving you.

[sits]

But ya ain't enjoyed my food yet....!

Don't worry; I will.

But the chef who put all of his heart and soul into the food should be honored, first.

....kay. Alright. Spoil me a lil'.

One order of spoiling, coming right up.

[this is Daffodil's stall but he is GRABBING SOME SAVORY FOODS to serve alongside the dessert order already on the table]

Guess 'll eat up...

Yep. The chef worked hard on this cuisine. Show him your appreciation by cleaning your plate.

[HE TEASES SINCE, OBVIOUSLY, RUGGIE IS THE CHEF]

Yes sir.

[eating happily

he does like his own food of course]

[smiling as he watches Biscuit tuck in, before grabbing himself some of that lemon-blueberry cake and doing likewise]

[his own expression lights up like a christmas tree when he bites into it, because it is DELICIOUS and is probably one of the most flavorful things he has had in three weeks]

Is Thistle not fulla good cooks?

. . . I'm the only one who really cooks.

And I'm not-- great with our general lack of supplies. I can roast fish and mutton with the best of them, but it's not very flavorful, you know?

Ehhh do ya not use the wild onions? The herbs?

[a beat]

Where do I find those?

[HE HAS BEEN THERE 3 WEEKS]

Fuck yer dumb.

I'm not-- I didn't--

I'm from the country, but even there we don't forge for our own aromatics and herbs!

[HE'S EMBARRASSED]

I'll teach ya..................stars above.....
