Thalia Village
Day 13 - Evening



Free CR 1/3 excelia just for posting in this thread. But you must first set your two weeks of downtime prior to the roleplay in Side Threads (The Prologue). Along with specifying what your character would have done from Day 2 to Day 13 of the roleplay (Chapter 1). Work with Mystic or I if you're confused in OOC chat/direct message.


With the stalls created, the food hunted, gathered, and prepared, the Kanade and Momochi clan floats and dresses in circulation among most the townsfolk and visitors, lastly, along with word out to the rest of the neighboring villages of the festival,  Thalia village was busy. That evening hundreds of people were in the usually quiet village. The inn and tavern, the Troupe's Choice, had been busy all day, but it got to the point that a set of tents had started being setup as well due to lack of accommodations. Not that the people minded setting up in something akin to a tent-city. Merchants had their stalls up, with many of them deciding to capitalize on the events. Festival foods, stalls to sell various camping gear, or the stalls run by the Kanade clan selling far-eastern clothes and goods was a common sight. Extra magic crystal lamps were setup through most of the village center, along with streamers and many other types of decorations. The village was full of life, with everyone looking forward to that day's events. As well as a flock of uninvited blackbirds who were more than happy to pick up the scraps of food that peaople left behind.

The goddess of the village, Thalia, stood at the stage next to the Troupe's Choice, playing her role for the opening of the festival that was to start.

"Some of you have come a long way, so I very much appreciate all of you for attending. Thank you everyone for coming! From people in our neighboring villages, adventurers who keep our road safe, and to travelers and merchants who decided to experience the festival. This couldn't be any better with all of you!"

The crowd cheered as they listened to the goddess' address.

"As many of you know, I will be going to Orario with my familia... It's been something I've been thinking about for a long time now. Meilstora is a beautiful country! The people here are always kind, and the appreciation for the arts is simply the best in all the world. As much as I'm looking forward to being in Orario, I'll miss it here. But it's the memories that we make here which remains with us for all our lives. So...!" She took a deep breath.

"Let's make this festival the most memorablest memory ever!"

Another loud cheer, and the festival's opening concluded.
