The candlelight melts all my shadows away [Open to CR]
Who: Cnoc Áine and related Akatsuki no Yona CR
When: December 3rd
Where: Take a wild guess
What: Mingle log with folks invited for a buffet dinner at the temple and folks can hang around afterwards too. I've included some prompts, but you can absolutely start your own. Any excuse to hang out with Yoon and Yona's extended CR is a good one.

Before Dinner / Gathering
Yoon is running bowls of food -- see below -- in and out of the kitchen to the hall where everyone gets to eat, so he's harder to get to stand still, but by all means use the opportunity to chat up people. You might find yourself sitting next to someone for dinner that you don't know, or you may want to explore the temple grounds until dinnertime. There's a lot to explore.
Dinner! Help Yourselves!
Yoon naturally took point on what the dinner would include, but he basically made a traditional spread of food - he thinks it's traditional anyway - resembling a giant lazy susan table with rice, a variety of meats that were marinated before being cooked, and grilled vegetables. The table is big enough for others to sit all around the circle, but move the wooden table around to get at the various dishes and pluck pieces of food from them. The rice also has a scooper. There is even stock soup resembling miso because that's what he was able to find on short notice when it occurred to him he should have soup, but didn't have enough time to make his own stock. Of course there is a pot of black tea too.
Near the wall, sitting on cold plates on a more traditional side table, there is also fresh fruit and a variation on lassi - a kind of pudding or yogurt. There's also glasses for milk shakes, but the ice cream and milk is currently being stored so it doesn't completely melt until they're ready, because of course he has milkshakes due to certain influences. Yoon doesn't get to be extravagant often, and Yona insisted if they were going to invite people that it be something pleasant, so he did indeed go all-out.
After Dinner: Bonding Time Etc.
At some point during the meal, Yoon will mention the pools at Yona's temple - Cnoc Áine - where people are able to bathe completely submerged and help wash away their blight. He considers this to be Extremely Important and if your characters - gods or shinki - haven't bathed in holy water within the last week, you can be sure that Yoon will insist on them hanging around long enough to bathe, alone or in a group as they're comfortable. By all means ask him why he finds this so important, or ask Yona about it. Unfortunately, the pools only heal under moonlight, so you can potentially hang around the temple for awhile, or leave and come back, although Yoon might seek a very sincere promise for the return. Good news is that it's winter, so 'moonlight' happens earlier. If Yoon happens to notice any tears or rips in the clothing that your character sheds in order to bathe, they might find them patched up by the time they put them on again.
But if you want to escape the oppressive Mom-ing of a worried Yoon, then you might try to engage some of the horses on the temple grounds, or take a walk through the immense halls and gardens.
