[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. ]

That would make sense, horses are useful and have been around forever.

[ Not forever, but what does he know about this worlds history....or his own. ]

I have been all over the place, I guess I forgot to say hi when I saw you in passing.

[ Because he's mostly been in the shadows. ]

And I found him! He's pretty funny.

Yeah, right? [ He totally agrees with you there. Even if he knows as little about this world's history as you do so far. ]

Ahh, wait, did you see me? Sorry if I didn't notice. [ Although now he's thinking back, trying to think of when he could have missed it ]

Funny? Your god?

You seemed pretty busy, so it's not that strange!

[ And he didn't exactly make himself known. ]

Yeah, he's amusing. There's a lot of entertainment value in him.

Huh. Well, you can still say hi, I wouldn't have minded.

Why's he amusing? Is he supposed to be? Is he like a god of entertainment or something or is he just funny? [ Alibaba's still pretty curious about the gods in general. I mean, who wouldn't be? Gods were supposed to be pretty impressive. And it sounded like Obi had a pretty different opinion of his own god in comparison to Ali's with Hitsugaya. ]

I'll remember that for next time~ [ If he's not sneaking around, that is. ]

He's just a funny person, which I suppose a god [ he supposes that "loa" means god but what does he know---anyway; ] of death isn't supposed to always be funny.

[ Alibaba's eyes widen slightly at that. ]

He's a god of death?

[ His voice totally didn't squeak on that last word, that was just your imagination. ]
