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!

I guess we'll just have to play the hands we're given... [She sighs a bit.] Mother won't be terribly happy, I'm sure, but it's not exactly like we could help what happened...

My uncle won't be either.

[A shame too; he could already picture the drunk, loser father trying to fumble his way through the television looking for him. It was a pretty pathetic mental image.]

Well... maybe we'll get this whole thing straightened out soon so we can go home! As nice as this place is, I'd really rather be back in Paris. We'll just have to remain optimistic, right?

[allthepuppets]

I guess so.

[...pessimistic was probably a better description of him at the moment.]

Everything will work itself out in the end, I'm sure of it!

Anyway, I'm going to poke around the festival some more. I'll see you around?

[allthepuppets]

Yeah. See you.
