[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. ]

[ Alibaba looks flustered for a moment, because he hadn't meant to imply weakness especially since both princesses he'd known would kick his ass if he tried but he just laughs and shakes his head. ]

Not that I know of.

[ He totally is. Don't look at him like that, Yoon. ]

Because I happen to look just as handsome in a dress as I am naturally.

[So yes he can pull of being a Princess.]

I got a memory of it once - the plan was for me to sneak in dressed as a girl and I knew I could pull it off.

[Not that he remembers the outcome, but... confidence! It must have succeeded!]

You... you got a memory? Wait, you mean from before?

[ He's heard a mention or two of something like that happening, but he's never talked to someone yet that had confided having one. ]

Isn't that... is that weird?
handsome_genius: (idiot.)

[personal profile] handsome_genius 2018-01-06 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It was actually two in one night, so that part was pretty weird. And that was after I remembered a lot of things about one person... so if it's weird, I think it's only weird because now I know it comes back in bits and pieces.

[Which admittedly he hadn't thought much about until Ali asked him.]

[ He cocks his head to the side, intrigued about this information. ]

How do you mean?
handsome_genius: (neutral)

[personal profile] handsome_genius 2018-01-13 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
What do I mean? I mean what I just said. One night I remembered a lot of things - months and months of time with this one guy, Zeno. Another night I only remembered two moments, maybe twenty minutes total between both of them?

[And that's a generous estimate, he thinks, but it's good enough to compare against 'months and months'.]

[ Alibaba looks perplexed for a moment before shaking his head. ]

Man. That sounds like it's gotta be really confusing.
handsome_genius: (you did... what exactly?)

[personal profile] handsome_genius 2018-01-20 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Of course it was. I never said it wasn't.

[ He rubs his head. ]

Anyway, I guess that's what you have to look forward to when it comes to remembering things.
