In Summary:
What: Harvest Moon Viewing
When: September 10, 6 PM
Where: The Meeting Hall grounds
Summary: The Heavens are throwing a moon-viewing party!


Party Games
- Children are dashing all over the moon-viewing grounds in the early evening, flying kites or playing tag and other games. Many of them are wearing cute seasonal rabbit masks made of paper, or sporting ink curlicues and scribbles drawn over their faces, if they've lost too many games.
Card games and spinning top battles, a few practice archery butts towards the edge of the park, poetry-composing competitions, and even badminton: there's something for everyone, and anyone who doesn't look too busy may find themselves offered a rabbit mask and a game to play. Or perhaps you'd like to try your hand at drawing people into your own game?
Moon Viewing
- The moon rises not long after sunset, looming over the garden in hazy golden and red splendor thanks to the volcanic fumes in the atmosphere. The games are winding down as darkness falls, and the faint scent of burning incense fills the air as people settle to view the moon rise. Shinki in their festival best, adorned with Amaterasu's golden chrysanthemum, are serving the guests. They set out trays of fresh seasonal fruit (Japanese pears, persimmons, and chestnuts) and plates of mochi, serve sake, and light portable grills to cook sweet potatoes and skewers of meat.
Mazed & Confused
- Part of the grounds have been rearranged into a hedge-maze made of tall, plumed grasses packed close together. A sign at the entrance reads, "Bring back my ribbon from the center of the maze,
and I'll give you a special prize!"
Unfortunately, that's harder than it sounds. The maze is full of dead ends, confusing turns, and twisty little passages, which all look alike. It's almost magical how easy it is to lose your way inside, and the tufted grass will prove to have painfully sharp edges if anyone tries to cheat by pushing their way through the "walls" of the maze.
Those who successfully find their way to the center will find a white ribbon fluttering from the top of a tall pole. If they can climb the pole, pull the ribbon free, and make it back to the entrance, they will hear the sound of a child's laughter, and the ribbon in their hand will disappear to be replaced by a round cake of mochi. Enjoy the prize!
Wild Moon
- One of the children participating most energetically in the games of tag and dashing around the party is wearing an oversized gray hoodie with the hood pulled up right to the edges of his happy rabbit mask. He's not being very careful, either: he keeps bumping into other party attendees and barely taking the time to mutter an apology before he sprints away.
Although nothing noticeable happens at the time, anyone who's been tagged or bumped into by that particular child will begin to feel more emotional, quicker to react, and less self-controlled as the night wears on. Those who he only brushed by won't be too powerfully affected, but the more times that he has run into someone, the stronger the effect will grow.
(Note: This won't cause anyone to have emotions that they wouldn't feel otherwise, but both ongoing moods and temporary reactions could be amplified.)

In Summary:
- Play party games
- Relax with snacks
- Try to solve the hedge maze
- Go wild
- Have fun~

[Archer informs him calmly from up above.]
Most likely a spell to make you lose all sense of direction. A neat trick.
no subject
A spell?! ( He's so offended right now, ) That's not fair either!
( What is with this maze and why can't it just play by fair rules? )
So there's no way to win?!
no subject
No, it's simply meant to make the maze harder to get through. I suppose it's a mischievous goddess. Who knows, maybe even Kaguya-hime herself.
[he doesn't sound too worried though.]
no subject
Do you think it's Kaguya-hime? ( He sounds particularly interested by this, ) ... Is it her ribbon?!
no subject
Who knows? After all, we're in Heavens right now.
no subject
Then let's go! ( He's ready! ) Maybe we can meet her if we win!
no subject
Lead the way.
no subject
What if... we followed the moon?
( Ah, that doesn't really help here but he takes a step towards the path on the right, )
This one.
( He sounds certain for someone who has no idea where they're going. )
no subject
Sure.
[While he's quite sure the maze isn't dangerous and just meant to be irritating Archer prefers to keep an eye on the sword spirit.]
no subject
Let's try this... It's really confusing so maybe if we leave clues...
( Unless the maze tries to erase them. )
no subject
That should work.
no subject
Hey, hey, what do you think the prize is?
no subject
Who knows, with how capricious the gods are? It can be anything - a favour granted, some kind of blessing, or even a mochi.
[he's only half serious, not being aware how close to truth his guess is.]
no subject
( With a name like Urashima, it's probably easy to figure out why he'd be wary of mysterious treasure boxes if Archer is familiar with Japanese folklore. )
A mochi might be nice, though. Hopefully it's more than one.
no subject
[Archer is way too familiar with Japanese folklore and legends, so he gets that.]
no subject
I wouldn't mind if it was, though... ( Because he's a curious spirit. He stops in front of a fork in the path and glances around... ah, right there. A mark in the grass. ) Let's try this way, then.
( The path they didn't take. )
Hey, do you think there are other people in this maze?
no subject
[Good, looks like the marks they made don't vanish, Archer was worried the maze itself could erase it. Looks like it's bespelled merely to confuse anyone taking the challenge.]
