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 ♥))

Make excuses if you must. I know what I've experienced.

The only one who's completely fair is Red, and for him he has my appreciation.

[strateelgic]

Does the snake not provide quests for you if you ask?

[debug_mode]

[she can't help giggle at that. It even sounds a little like a hiss.]

When your bell falls off and you prove yourself loyal I will answer all the questions about that sort of business that you care to ask.

[strateelgic]

Well. Should that ever happen, you'll be the first person I talk to.

After Akuki, of course.

[debug_mode]

Hm? Why him?

Well, I can guess the reason. It'd hardly be for 'education' purposes.

[strateelgic]

Because if I did go from rose to weed he'd be the only other person here with the same experience.

[debug_mode]

Well, unless it gave him some epiphany he's chosen not to share, I don't know what you'd learn.

...Except weeds would welcome you and give you a room in the clubhouse.

[strateelgic]

Are you jealous over this hypothetical situation?

[debug_mode]

Jealous?

I don't understand. Will you elaborate?

[strateelgic]

You're bothered by the idea of me talking to someone else about being a weed rather than asking you.

[debug_mode]

[she shrinks back, feeling so called out.]

It's just... he hasn't done anything. He doesn't know anything.

[strateelgic]

If you had to pick someone to talk to about a subject first and your choices were between someone you knew and trusted but who might not be as knowledgeable, and someone who knew a great deal more but who you'd had very little interaction with, would you not also feel more comfortable talking with your friend to start out?

[debug_mode]

...Aah.

Nepotism.

[strateelgic]

That's cute.

I at no point said I wouldn't talk to you, you realize. It was simply about the order in which I'd do it.

[debug_mode]

I try!

I suppose it's true. You'd learn some things from him you wouldn't learn from me. Like exactly what powers Weeds has that he has now.

...At least, you know, for free.
