Welcoming Festival

[theguidebook]

Who: Everyone!
What: Let's welcome the new folk! Festival time!
Where: Summer Forest
When: June 1st, evening
Warnings: None!

It's pretty amazing what magic can put together on short notice. Where tranquil forest stood just hours ago, there's now the obvious signs of a party—and it's all for the people who just got here! Hopefully everyone's dried off by now so they won't catch any chills! Strung up among the trees are paper lanterns glowing lightly and illuminating the area. There's food from all sorts of places set up on tables among the trees, and games are scattered about, with citizens of other worlds manning them. There's also a bonfire in a clearing away from the trees, if you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle… but why wander away? Have fun and socialize, after all, Avalar is your new home!

But I have told you, and that puts on equal terms again.

[She considers the human woman's attitude, the look in her eyes, her words... then lowers her head slightly, growing somber.]

It will be all right.

Right. [Her "you go on believing that" goes unspoken, but after a short and rather sharp nod that gets her dragonfly buzzing in annoyance, she turns and walks away, still on the hunt for some quiet place to eat. This is going to be an interesting time, to be sure.]
