Come gather 'around the fire...

[kismet_loop_mods]

Who: Anyone
What: A gathering for the citizens of Haven.  A time to relax and mingle...and a little something more.
When: All day and night of the 14th
Where: Outside of The Hub, and perhaps inside too if you wish.
Event: Not everything is as it seems.  Some of the offerings will cause some...unexpected results.

The Guardians have been hard at work getting the large open street outside of the Hub and Warehouse set up for a massive gathering.  There were tables set up all over the place full of all kinds of food, drink, and fuel.  A large bonfire had been set up in the middle of everything, and various volunteers rotated in and out throughout the day and night playing various kinds of music or providing other types of entertainment.  There would be a constant flow of music, skits, acrobatics, and magic tricks.  The festivities will be held throughout the day.

Not everything would go as planned, though.  There were a few tables among that many that had been set up courtesy of the Miasma.  They go unnoticed with everything else going on.  Really, there is enough for literally hundreds of people of various races, the handful of suspicious tables are easy to miss.  The contents of these tables will have peculiar effects on those who consume the contents offered upon them.  Nothing harmful really, just some effects to further encourage the lighthearted purpose of this gathering.

((ooc: tag in, mingle, have fun.  Effects can last for only the party or through the end of the week, and can be mixed as much as you want.))

"Oh! I'd heard you had her back, but not how." The adept considered the additional information, then shrugged, initial surprise fading fast. From her own interactions with the beast king (interactions in which he'd proven himself to be both courteous and kind) seeing a lost child safely home was nothing if not in-character. "Predaking's a good guy; one of my first friends here. And I'm about as glad as anything to hear there shouldn't be any encore."

Sam held up her hands at the first 'thank you,' smile growing into a grin.

"It was what anyone shoulda done, man, so you're more than welcome. And while you need to know you really don't have to make me anything... I'll happily accept, in large part because that would be one of the---" Coolest wouldn't do; she seized on an alternative, "---neatest things I've ever been offered. Could you do some sort of sun-catcher with green glass, please...? And thank you?"

"Heh, you an me both," Lea said. "I really should have thought of things like that before, but well... Live and learn, I guess. Least I'm finally starting to appreciate how much trouble I must've given my parents as a kid."

He grinned, though, at her request. "Think I can handle that," he said. "Any particular shape you want? Or should I just make it a surprise?"

"Hey, I've got the impression you've been doing really well for someone with a ward on such short notice. And I think everyone who's had to look after a little person for more than an afternoon has had some kind of scare, so don't stress over 'I should've' or 'I ought've' too too much. That said... I feel for you." Sam's grin grew a little more mischeivious. "My parents told me 'I hope you end up with a kid just like you are,' more times than I could tell, more times than I could tally."

It was as unlikely now as it had ever been, but the Chinese curse---also invoked, on occasion---had been fulfilled... some twenty times over.

"I'm partial to four-pointed stars but I also think surprises are pretty sweet, so, y'know, whatever; either's excellent."

"Man, I thought my parents were the only ones who said that," he said with a chuckle. "Course I guess every parent has said it once or twice. Or at least thought it."

"Four pointed star or a surprise, gotcha," he said. "Should be simple enough." He had a bit mor experience with five pointed stars, but a four pointed one shouldn't be that hard.
