[Open Mingle] End of Summer Lucky-Pot

Who: Anyone and Everyone!
When: September 22nd
Where: Cnoc Áine
What: It is the final day of Summer and the first day of Fall so the Temple of Áine, the Irish Goddess of Summer, throws one last picnic to bid her season farewell. All are welcome, as long as they bring a dish for the lucky-pot potluck.


[ To celebrate the final day of Summer, the Temple of Áine has gone all out, decorated in vibrant shades of red and gold that already accent the hint of leaves that are changing outside the temple grounds. Although inside the walled temple, it still seems like a beautiful summer day, the leaves on the trees still a bright vibrant green. The picnic is set up in the large orchard that spreads within the temple, the trees' boughs heavy with brightly-hued apples of every flavor and crispness.

Blankets and tables are scattered beneath the trees and in the clearing at the center, several long tables are set up to be filled with dishes brought by guests. Yona has supplied some of it herself, with the help of some friends. Several roasts, carefully sliced and carved for guests. A large platter of corn still on the cob. Several types of breads, seasoned with fruits or vegetables from the summer seasons or the harvest. And apples, of course - those seem to be here and there and everywhere; in pies, sliced and paired with peanut butter or caramel or other dips, made into a buttery spread for the loaves of bread. No matter what people bring to add to the potluck, there will be plenty of food to go around, as well as wine and ciders generously offered to go with it.

There is music playing in the background, just to set the mood or for people to dance to, and the pools of water are still warm enough for people to take a soak or swim in. And when the sun sinks and the sky darkens and the air grows a little cooler, a large bonfire is lit, with hot cocoa passed around and the makings for s'mores set out for anyone who wants to have a little dessert after their feasting. One last offering to a fading summer until it comes around again. ]

I don't quite agree with them either, but I can also understand their worry about it. [Goten has stung him and Aymeric a few times, after all.] If it's to one or two people, it doesn't bother me, but it can also be a risk if he becomes named by too many people. At least Yoon will still have some security in case one of us disappears.

No, he hasn't. [But he does glance over at her.] In any case, I thought it'd be good to talk to you about this and see where you stood. I know that not everyone is okay with it.

[And Hitsu knows if Suijin catches wind of this, it'd be bad, too.]

You have my word.

[It wasn't as if he wasn't going to, but he figures hearing this would make her relax more.

However, he decides to opt the change in topic:]


Have you been working on your swordsmanship?

[It's better than talking about something else that can be depressing.

Toushirou gives a slight nod.]


Should you want to, I can help you with it. It's always better when you're able to spar against someone as well.

I am. [He shrugs.] Sparring would do you some good. And it'd be best for you to learn, anyway, especially if you're determined to go through with it.

You're welcome. [A slight nod.] But in the meantime, do try to enjoy the rest of your party, Yona.

[It's odd enough that he's the one telling her this. But even he can admit the need for a party sometimes if it proves to be enough of a distraction for a lost one.]

It's more for the people who worry about you.

Mother hens, all of them.

[He sighs out.]

It's not something I can escape from, apparently. [Yoon is the new mother hen.]

You would be familiar with that most of all, wouldn't you?

[What has he done.]
freezetheheavens: ([02])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2018-01-25 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. [He guesses.]
