CHARACTERS: Any and all!
DATE: May 1st~5th
RATING: G
SUMMARY: To some it's May Day, to others it's the European tradition of Walpurgisnacht-- in The World, we have both for you! There's no dungeons to raid or items to collect this go around, just stop by for free food, bonfires, and maybe some reward items just for your time.

[ A message beeps on everyone's devices the night of the 30th, nearing midnight. Any heavy sleepers or goody two-shoes may miss out on The World's first bonfire, but it probably won't be the last. The message is simple: an invitation to Δ Roaring Midnight's* Old World for good food and a midnight celebration for Walpurgisnacht.

And an alternative come 6AM for Δ Endless Sunshine's* May Queen*, if they'd prefer a daytime picnic and a dance around the maypole.

So what'll it be, Players? ]

( ooc: As these are special event areas, some of the words in these do not exist for player creation. "Midnight's", "Sunshine's", and "May Queen" are some of them! There'll be different event items to earn by attending either of these, and you don't need to pick one or the other. Apologies again for the delay, and for the number of event logs! There'll typically only be two a month or so. )

[ The new voice surprises her, and she looks up with a smile. ]

I believe so. At least, that's what the invitation said.

[he nods idly as he takes a seat on the ground a polite foot or two away from her.]

Mm, I did see that. I wasn't sure what had been meant by "maypole" until coming, however.

[ What a pretty man. She hopes you don't mind if she watches you, she just can't help herself. ]

Ah.. Then this is not a tradition in your country, either?

[he's used to people staring for one reason or another. he notices, of course, but only smirks a little and pretends to be focused on the maypole instead.]

No, we have nothing like this where I come from. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one completely oblivious, here.

I see .. [ she sets the fork down onto her plate. ]

It is not a holiday from where I am from either, as far as I know, but - it does sound like a lovely one, if the tradition is to dance on that occasion.

Is there not much dancing where you come from? That's a shame. I'd thought, of all things, music and dancing would be a constant in any world.

Ah, no. It is certainly a constant in my world .. !

But even so, it's still a wonderful tradition to have!

...Well, at least you're optimistic. There are some that wouldn't be so positive when trapped in some other world's "game".

[like him, for example. though he does a pretty spectacular job of playing nice and positive, for the sake of appearances.]

.. Ah. [ That's right -- she is a bit enthused, considering they are trapped in this world - no, this game. ]

.. Well, there isn't much we can do about it. Until a way to get home is found, there's no point in worrying .. !

[ Ada is also just an optimistic person. ]

We can look for a way home. There's certainly something to be said for not worrying about things that can't be changed, but it feels rather defeatist to say we can't do anything about this situation so early on.

Ah.. hmmmm...

[ She nods. ] That is true .. !

But an average person like me - I don't think I could be of any use .. [ Which is why she is just sticking with being optimistic!

Also, she likes being here with her brother.. ]

[aaaand smiling, charm is on full blast.]

You don't seem very average to me. Besides, everyone can be useful, one way or another.

[ n, no... you won't get anything from complimenting her! ]

Ah .. that is true! And I hope I can be useful!

[ That won't stop her from thinking positively about staying here, though. ]

I don't think I've introduced myself -- I am Ada Vessalius.

[on the contrary, compliments can go a long way when finding himself potential allies, no matter how insignificant those potentials might think themselves to be.

that, and maybe he's just trying to be nice. he has been trying to get better at the whole "genuine friendliness" thing and all that, so who knows.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ada. My name is Saralegui.

The pleasure is mine, Mister Saralegui.

Where do you come from, if you don't mind my asking?

My country, in the world I came from as least, is called Small Shimaron. And what about yourself?

I see.. ! Is it nice there?

I, as well as my brother, come from Réveil.

I think so, but then, it is my country. I might be a bit biased. What sort of a place is Réveil?

I think it's fine to be biased about your own country..!

[ pause. ]

I have been in school for most of my life, so I am not very knowledgeable about the outside world, but ..

The school is prestigious, and I have learned many things. I have gained many friends, as well, and I've experienced many things. I believe Réveil and Latwidge are very pleasant places to live in ..!

[ a pause. ]

But, my country is not perfect .. even now, I am sure there are people who suffer across the country.

[ she mourns for those people. ]
