Who: Everyone
When: Day 2, through the day!
Where: ANYWHERE REALLY
What: Mingle with some lake-centric festivities!

[sometime after you escape that labyrinth and enter town, you might overhear some of the townsfolk gossiping amongst one another:]

Didja see? The lake's fulla water again!

Why, no, I didn't see, it's not like I take a walk to the empty shell of my father's childhood like you do every freakin' day.

I wanna catch a fish and name it Bowie!

[if you do go to the lake, you'll find that the gossip is all true: the large lake is actually a lake again, seemingly being filled with the waterfalls coming from the three rivers above. investigate further and you'll see little round fish covered with spikes, like a porcupine, bouncing in and out of the water as they swim. in reality, the spikes are dull and very soft—almost rubbery—so even if you touched one of these it wouldn't actually hurt. maybe this is what's giving the weird little guys the bounce

throughout the day, townsfolk have banners, balloons, and tents set up around the lake for this occasion. one independent tent is offering a small amount of $$$ to anyone who can catch some of these bouncy fish. in addition, they're offering a plate of this fried fish for a single coin; try a taste and you'll find that it tastes a lot like... rubbery garlic chicken! the other tents belong to the business/establishments you've seen through town:

• the weapon shop is selling all kinds of nets, fishing rods, and even pikes, for those who want to try and catch the fish
• the garrison and clinic are cooperating to perform a duty equivalent to lifeguards
• the library has a tent with fish-themed books; fish cookbooks, romance novels involving fish, picture books depicting fish, etc etc
• the bakery is offering a wide variety of fish-themed sweets and iced coffees
• the tailor's also has a changing tent and is selling visors, swimsuits, and other summery accessories
• the flower shop is selling fish bowls in a wide variety of sizes and styles and dahlias in many sizes and colors

maybe at some point today you're stuck working at one of these tents—or maybe you don't have to work at all today. whether you choose to engage with this event or continue doing your own thing, it's your day to spend as you see fit, and these festivities will be going on well into the evening!]

((OOC: trying a thing with ALL DAY MINGLES! if you're worried that this kind of limits what your character might be doing since this encompasses all day, a thing you can do, that we've seen some players already do, is provide multiple interaction options, which would be opportune here!

ETA: though the method of accessing tier 2, where the lake is located, is a staircase, there is IN FACT a convenient magical button that you can press to briefly make it into a flat, wheelchair accessible slope! this will be added to the info page soon enough, along with all of the other changes.))

[Barakiel, another bakery worker, is also taking a (smoke) break by the lake. He remembers seeing Togo around, though he's spent most of the day on sandwich board duty, helping advertise the bakery stall.

He should...probably say hi...? That's a thing that humans do with people they sort of work with, right.]

Ah...hi... Nice day?

[Togo looks to the voice and smiles.]

A very nice day. You're my coworker, right? I apologize for not introducing myself sooner; I'm Mimori Togo, but please, call me Togo.

[She bows the best she can in her chair.]

[he sort of...flaps a hand awkwardly in return]

Well, you know, I didn't say anything either... I'm Barakiel. Just that.
botamessiah: (My best recipe)

Nice to meet you, Barakiel. Would you care for a taiyaki? I have a spare red bean paste flavor?

[She offers it to him with a smile.]
jarredforlife: (paying attention)

[personal profile] jarredforlife 2015-08-25 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... No, thanks. You enjoy it.

Very well.

How was your labyrinth experience?

There was a labyrinth...? Sorry, I missed it.

What was it like?
botamessiah: (Giving you my best)

[personal profile] botamessiah 2015-08-29 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, yes. This morning. It was quite interesting...

[Taking another bite of taiyaki and swallowing it down before replying.]

It started with a question, asking us what came first, light or darkness. There was also a piece of paper with ink on it, and we could each ask for something; once provided, we took it and the paper with us. There were two doors, one blindingly bright, the other dark as pitch. Once we made our choice, we advanced. I chose darkness.
