[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!

"You look like you're having fun."
no subject
"Y-yeah," she stammered, "It's... really nice out."
Not the weather, the weather was still miserably cold. But the overall atmosphere. The music, the dance of water and color.
no subject
"Oh, no, please. Don't stop because of me. I was enjoying it."
no subject
Xion couldn't help it. It was hard to really recapture that sort of carefree enchantment she'd had only a moment ago. She trieb to turn and refocus on the performance. But in the end, she was still fully conscious, the whole time, of the other nearby. Eventually she started to sway in time with the beat, a far cry from her carefree dancing earlier, but an improvement, maybe.
"It really does sound nice, though doesn't it?" she added finally.
no subject
"The music?" Nodding her agreement. "I've been here a long time, and I'm not sure I've ever heard the locals play music like this before. It's so...peaceful isn't quite the word I'm looking for, but similar to that, you know?"
no subject
Her hesitance came not from nervousness this time, but from actually not being sure. She thought she got the general jist of what Zantanna was talking about, but so far as actually being able to put words to it? Not so much. The Organization had not been the greatest environment to learn to articulate how things felt.
She hesitated, before adding. "I've never heard anything like it before."
no subject
Assuming, of course, she had heard music. But since Zatanna had no reason to assume otherwise, she felt comfortable in her question.
no subject
Sometimes she thought she'd hear strains of something, in the halls of Beast's Castle, or else through the streets of Agrabah. But she'd always been busy, always moving, and the music had to be grabbed in bits and snatches, rather than savored and enjoyed like right now.
With that thought in mind, she added, "I'm glad I can hear it now, though."
no subject
"Same. It's been a while...actually, for a time, I honestly never thought I'd see this place look so up-beat again."
no subject
"What do you mean?" she asked, before pausing and adding, "Did it have something to do with that... with who people've been telling me got defeated, not too long ago?"
The one that shouldn't be named, according to them. And after Bakura's reaction she's very hesitant to use the word "monster" in general.
no subject
"You mean Malicant." Unlike some, she was no longer tentative to say the guy's name. At worst, if it summoned him again...well, she'd rather know he was around then let him go on hiding. When nothing immediate happened, she continued on. "Yes and no. He had a pretty strong grip on this place for a while. Months. But even before then...
"It's kind of a long story, really. And I've only been here for the last few years of it."
