Light up the Night - [BACKDATED to 2/5]
Who: Ammy + Anyone interested
What: Fireworks show for the Lunar New Year!
When: Evening of 2/5/19
Where: Monkey Compound
Warnings: None so far, tag as needed!
[It's about noon when a message is posted to the Message Rock, as well as over the Stones of Farspeech - an elegant writing in kanji with a translation below. The voice is foreign, not often heard and possibly lost from most peoples' memories, but it sounds...excited? There's definitely a chime-like laughter hidden in the depths of it.]
All interested in a beautiful sight, please show up at dusk at the Hana--eh...the Monkey Compound. Drinks - for the elders among you - and some snacks will be provided, but I encourage you all to pack a box lunch.
Those unable to attend...I'll try to make sure you see it. Thank you.
[How very enigmatic indeed.
Still, those that do show up as the sky begins to change into a purple-blue color, dotted with small, glittering stars, will see that the Monkey Compound has been done up a bit. There's a line of small, flowering cherry blossom trees creating a lovely arch by the entrance, and little paper tags have been hung from a few of the branches, holding pictures of a tiny boar, or piglet, and a prayer written on the opposite side in kanji.
Inside has a very, very pleasant air to it. Much different than what this place used to be. It's laid with fresh, clean, springy grass and flowers, and a bountiful garden off to one side, which looks a little barren...probably because most of the foods have been harvested and laid out neatly on a bushels of palm fronds. Fresh vegetables and fruits from Ammy's garden, ripe for the taking and eating, if you're more the rustic type. There's also fire-roasted fish, skewered on a stick and cooking nicely by a crackling bonfire. Eat, enjoy, converse with neighbors and friends alike! Drinks have indeed been provided for the adults, a large barrel of sake with a ladle to pour it into one of twelve dishes. And yes, a bowl of water has been added to the side to rinse them off.
The centerpiece is a very basic shrine put up with a folding wall, once white in color but painted over with a beautiful portrait of a boar rolling a round firework, and a tiny, ceramic figure on a boar topping a little rock pile. Below the statue is an offering of sake, a single sakura mochi, a grilled fish, and some flowers. That is where the wolf will be when you first spot her.
For...a moment, at least. Because once the sky grows truly dark, and the embers from the bonfire has crept to soft, orange glow, a whistle will wheeze its way through the sky as a streak of light soars up, and up...before it explodes in a puff of white sparks. Nothing exciting, more a call to attention.
A minute passes, then another, and the're movement by the far end of the compound as the wolf readies everything she needs. A few final touches--...there! All ready for the show to begin.
And what a show it is.
The fireworks are beautiful and vibrant, coloring the skies in a vast array of rainbow hues, dancing like they're actually alive. True artistry, and a blessing from the God of Explosions, Bakugami (and the local rabbit god, who provided a number to help make this work). An explosive force meant to open the gate for a blissful new year - full of color, full of life, and bountiful in all things that bring happiness and joy to those with good in their hearts.
Happy Lunar New Year. ♥]

What, you saying you don't deserve a little bit of rest and relaxation?
I think you might deserve it more than most people.
no subject
Maybe I do. I hadn't really thought about it. [ She pushes the hair out of her face before fixing him with a confused look. ] ... More than most people? Why?
no subject
Which means he has no idea how what he says to Mira effects her.]
Well... [he scratches at his cheek] You always seem to be giving and giving to people, but not taking time for yourself. Not that's it's a bad thing to be giving, but...
You need to take care of yourself, too.
no subject
[ Her voice is soft, and she fidgets, clasping and unclasping her hands. ]
I really don't mind, though. [ She looks at him, eyes warm and soft. ] It makes me happy when people I care about are happy.
... But I'll try.
no subject
[He's probably louder than he should be, but if he's certain of anything, it's this.]
Making people happy is good, and if it makes you happy go for it, but you're just as important too, you know?
no subject
[ She nudges her knee against his, smiling. ]
I'll.... try to remember that.
no subject
[Lance....... Please......]

no subject
[The blush is totally just because of the sake, yup, 100% the only reason.]
no subject
Are you alright?
no subject
I'm fine! Totally fine, just, whew, this stuff is strong, isn't it?
no subject
[ Even more concern.... ]
no subject
Of course I'm sure! I've never been better!
no subject
[ good thing she believes it!!! ]
You should be careful with the drinks. Hangovers aren't fun at all.
no subject
Don't worry about it. I'll drink lots of water!
[That helps with hangovers, right.]
no subject
I wonder if anyone has aspirin around...
[ she's REALLY concerned about this... ]
no subject
It's fine, it's fine! I'm sure I'll be just fine in the morning, it's not a big deal.
[He's Dying.]
no subject
Okay. If you're sure.
[ Still concerned, but she'll take him at his word! She turns her gaze up to the sky. ]
You know... back home, it's so hard to see the stars. It's one of my favorite things to do here, I think, to just watch them.
no subject
[And he's glad for the topic change. He follows her gaze up after a moment, and lets out a sigh.]
Yeah. I've always loved the stars. Never thought I'd miss them as much as I do.
[But...it's okay. Because there are new things, new people, that make not being home worth it.]
