[EVENT] Bonfire Night
Characters: ALL!
Date: February 21st
Location: Various.
Situation: It’s cold. Time to cuddle up and make bonfires for the warmth.
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.
As night falls the city’s lights take something of a unique turn. Instead of being lit by millions of paper lanterns, Keeliai is tonight lit by the flames and warmth of dozens if not hundreds of fires. Some of them are small, not much more than warming hearths in a barrel on a street, but others encompass squares and boulevards.
The fire lighting procession winds through the city’s streets, beginning at the first bonfire in Fire Sector. By the time full night has arrived, that procession is a snake illuminated by dozens of torches, parting from the main parade to light smaller fires in smaller streets. It ends, finally, in Central, in the Courtyard of Public Opinion, whose bonfire is second only to the initiating one in Fire Sector.
In some areas an exchange of goods arises, mostly in terms of woollens and other warm clothes and blankets. Though food is considered a public resource on this occasion, bartering small knickknacks, songs, stories and even other woollen items is not uncommon an exchange.
Meals are shared among kedan and Foreigners, commoners and emissaries--primarily stews, soups and other foods easily baked in the coals of the fires. Everyone brings food, and what isn’t contributed to the pot is nevertheless shared around after preparation. Although some bonfires are markedly wealthier than others, food and shelter is spread around to make sure everyone is safe and warm. No one goes cold and alone on this night.

Fire Sector (main bonfire) | Water Sector | Metal Sector | Earth Sector | Wood Sector | Central Keeliai
OOC Notes
The five Bresilykian emissary NPC can be found moving from Sector to Sector and partaking in the various traditions of each, and so can be engaged anywhere, while the Keeliai NPCs generally are staying in their respective areas as detailed below. Please put the name of the NPC you're requesting in the subject line of your tag if you want to interact with them. Thank you!

"Y-yup, that's me, Genis! Right," he says, trying to put on a brave face. "It's nice to finally meet you!" And suddenly Genis is looking everywhere, as if trying to find a topic to talk about. "So... uh, have you been enjoying... the festival?"
no subject
Instead she turned and glanced all around at the festivities - the water and the fire, the music...
"I've never seen anything so beautiful, really," she added, "Or heard."
no subject
"It is kind of nice, isn't it?" he says quickly, half turning away from Xion and toward the festival. "I've not actually been to this sector before, so it's kind of amazing to see it all. All the water, all the fire everywhere. And the music." And he blushes again. "All the nice-looking people."
Still, he turns to Xion with a rather embarrassed expression. "So... do you want to g-g-g-g-go and walk tog-g-g-g-gether? Spend some time doing... th-th-th-things?"
no subject
There really did seem to be something odd going on here, though. "Are you okay? You aren't cold are you?"
He hadn't stammered that much when they'd talked last... and the last time Xion had stammered that much, she'd been suffering from some mild frostbite.
no subject
"N-n-n-no, I'm not c-c-cold at all!" Genis quickly says, trying to mask all those feelings inside. It some ways, he's kind of feeling bad because he really likes Presea too, but that's really for the most part put to the side because he's practically entirely focused on Xion. "It's just... I mean, I... it's... really... good... great to be enjoying the festival with you!" He tries to sheepishly laugh it all off as if it's nothing. It's clearly not nothing though.
"B-b-but this is your... first time? I mean, it's my first time seeing a festival here, too. But I've gotten to see festivals back home in Aselia. Most of them were... rather nice."
