festival day!

Who: EVERYONE
Broadcast: Up to you
Action: Everywhere in the Yadrolla system!
When: 5/30

[At last, the day has come: Festival Day! Once again, the Starstrikers have taken the trophy this year. But that doesn't mean members of other teams, or those who didn't play, can't celebrate with the rest of them!

There are parties everywhere. Ribbons, streamers, and confetti litter every major street in the system. (Remember what they say about glitter...) There is food on every block, and people cramming into shops to get in on the merch.

Don't forget about the reason for the festival-- the pet adoption drive! A large playground-type area has been set up on the Starstrikers' desert moon where people can play and interact with the lovable creatures needing new homes. Whether you're looking for companionship or just something to do, there's plenty to coo over! Every pet comes with an info card listing a fanciful name and a general description of their age and temperament. Maybe Sir Pringle the puppy or Marquess Mariana the fish can become your new best friend.

Sadly, the Fleet will be drifting in about a week... but feel free to party until then!]

[ If it was anyone else Leilani would absolutely ignore the knock on her door, but Carl is one of the few people that can urge her to get out of bed. She pushes herself up, shaking her head and moving to open the door, her little puppy dozing on the bed. ]

You can come in.

[ He's grateful that she answers the door, really, and he lets himself in. She sounds upset, or down about something though he's not sure what. Carl tilts his head, frowning at her. ]

Are you okay?
veilstrike: (in your saddness)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-09 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She just shrugs a shoulder, smiling fondly as she leans down to kiss his cheek. ]

Tired, but I'm fine. How're you?
postocular: (twd0801-0875)

[personal profile] postocular 2018-06-09 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm okay. [ Nah, a kiss on the cheek won't do. He wraps his arms around her in a hug. ]

[ She laughs fondly, leaning down and scooping him up into her arms. ]

I'm glad to hear it. Come in and sit down.

[ The room is... Smaller, but it's still decorated like her own. ]

[ Once they part, he goes further into the room, sitting on the edge of the bed and nods to the puppy. ]

Who is this? I don't have to worry about being replaced, do I? [ Teasing. ]
veilstrike: (you're alone you're on your own)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That, at least, makes her laugh. Shaking her head, she walks over to scratch behind his ears, his little tail waggling as she does. ]

No, of course no. He's my little wolf.
postocular: (twd0809-0383)

[personal profile] postocular 2018-06-10 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
He's cute. What's his name? [ He strokes over the puppy's back gently. ]
veilstrike: ❧ icons by maerad unless otherwise stated. (care for music do you)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And now she seems sheepish. ]

Da'fen.

[personal profile] postocular 2018-06-10 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
So you weren't kidding when you said little wolf.
veilstrike: (you saw her bathing)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I wasn't. [ Look at him! Learning elven! She leans over and touches the back of his head, gentle and fond. ] Very good.
postocular: (twd0809-0392)

[personal profile] postocular 2018-06-10 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Now it's his turn to feel sheepish under her praise. ]

I've been practicing from the notes you wrote.
veilstrike: (falling slowly)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You are doing very well. I think anyone would be impressed.

[personal profile] postocular 2018-06-10 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? [ It's been so long since he's actually been in school, that he's not really sure how to gauge his learning. He thinks it's pretty slow to start, but he's never learned a language before. ]
veilstrike: (she drew the hallelujah)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Really. It isn't easy to learn another language, especially one not from your own world.

[personal profile] postocular 2018-06-10 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fun, though. I like how it sounds.
veilstrike: (raise your hopeful voice)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad. [ And it does warm her heart, her smile settling for the first time in days. ] If I could teach you more I would.
postocular: (twd0809-0393)

[personal profile] postocular 2018-06-10 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You've already taught me so much already, Leilani.
veilstrike: (i used to live alone)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean I don't wish to teach more. I think that is why I was chosen to be a First.
postocular: (9Ieatoc)

[personal profile] postocular 2018-06-10 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
What else would you teach me? We already have hunting and Elvish down.
veilstrike: (half empty bottles of wine)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Magic, maybe. [ Leilani shifts, moving to sit cross-legged on the bed, leaning back against the wall. ] About how to best travel, how to ride... About the Gods, once. That would have been my duty.

[personal profile] postocular 2018-06-10 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He makes himself comfortable, open to learning more. ]

Tell me about the Gods?
veilstrike: (you gave him a curse)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She looks pained, just for a moment, before she leans to one side and gathers a piece of paper and a pen. As she speaks she begins to draw a diagram. ]

It begins with Elgar'nan, the God of Vengeance. As the All-Father he leads the Gods with the goddess Mythal, the Great Protector. Their children are the twins, Falon'Din and Dirthamen, Friend of the Dead and Keeper of Secrets respectively. Then there is Andruil, of the Hunt, Sylaise, the Hearthkeeper of Arts, June of the Craft and Ghilan'nain, the Mother of the Halla.

[ She draws them out, labelling each name, focussing on her work with an intensity that looks closer to painful than interested. ]

Then... The last of the Gods is Fen'Harel, the Dread Wolf. He is a trickster, known as the Bringer of Nightmares, He Who Hunts Alone.

[ Carl follows along with rapt attention. One sticks out to him that he doesn't quite understand the concept of. ]

What's a Halla?
veilstrike: (there was a time)

[personal profile] veilstrike 2018-06-10 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Below the names of the Gods she begins to sketch one out carefully. ]

Something akin to deer. They're special animals to the Dalish and they are used to help move our aravel when we travel.
