Avalar

Who: Everyone!
What: Christmas and hijinks
Where: Everywhere
When: All day on December 25th, possibly Decmber 24th? December 26? CHRISTMAS.
Warnings: Excessive amounts of holiday cheer.

The day is finally here. It's a white Christmas, just like the whole month has been, and the snow is soft and fluffy. Everywhere you go, natives are showing their festive spirits. There are carols and calls of "Merry Christmas", "Happy Holidays", "Season's Greetings". Candles, bells, wreathes, the whole nine yards.

In the center of Glide Town, a massive Christmas tree has been set up with a whole lot of gifts beneath it. Each and every Outsider will find a gift with their name on it. What's inside? Oh, something to make them happy. It's Christmas, after all!

This post can be used for mingling, getting and giving gifts, going on dates, and any other holiday shenanigans. Feel free to make your own posts as well!

Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: Costumes, parties, and evil pumpkins
Where: Idol Springs
When: Halloween (October 31)
Warnings: Beware of giant evil pumpkins.

During the day, the gift fairies are busy flitting about, delivering a box to each Outsider! In each box is a costume, presumably to be worn to the Halloween party advertised on posters in every world. Costumes aren't required...but why wouldn't you wear a costume to a Halloween party?

The party itself is fairly humble, as the natives have had to contend with errant pumpkin vines and mischievous ghosts all month. There's a table of actual food, many pumpkin or squash based recipes, and a table for desserts with all manner of pies and pastries, as well as overflowing bowls of candy. There are streamers and simple decorations, and some games such as bobbing for apples... A small hay maze has been set up to one side. A few musicians are playing music - square dance calls included. It's nothing fancy, but it's certainly intended to be a fun break from all the recent strangeness. They'll even be keeping the ghosts out for the duration of the evening!

Until midnight, that is. Then the party will have an unexpected guest...

Who: Everyone!
What: Year of the Dragon festivities
Where: Artisans homeworld, of course!
When: August 20th-21st
Warnings: None!

It's that time once again! Fairies have brought dragon eggs into the realm, which means it's time to celebrate. Everyone, including the Outsiders, has been invited to join in on the festivities. There's a feast (hope you guys like meat), music (renaissance-style, if you can place it), and some entertainment off to the side (mostly plays, but they'll change it up every now and then) happening, so why not loosen up and have some fun?

Oh, and for those of you interested, some of the Artisans have set up shop around the area, selling small things like statuettes and potted tropiaries and other such things.

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!
