[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!

"Sea prunes! You made honest-to-goodness Water Tribe sea prunes!" Well, at least as close to sea prunes as you could possibly get in this crazy world that didn't have honest to gosh sea prunes.
But then of course, his excitement dies down, and he backs away from his obvious encouragement of Katara's cooking. "I mean, I guess sea prunes are alright. I should probably taste one first to make sure they taste alright for the kedan." Katara couldn't let her cooking go to head (not that Sokka ever gave her the opportunity). Besides, he really did want one; he may not admit Katara's a good cook, but she is.

"If you're so desperate to try them, why don't you help pass them out, too?" she smirked, offering him the basket and promptly dropping it into his arms without warning.
Drop them and die.Death threats, huh? Best. sister. ever.
Actually, she can, Sokka.He doesn't even get a rejection of Katara's task out before the basket is in his arms. He's carrying the basket below, and it's pretty heavy it seems, so he's not willing to shift his grip quite yet. "Aww, you mean I have to work before I have any?" Pouting face.
obviously~
She does lift a brow and shake her head at his whining, however, as she stretches her arms now free from their burden. "Sokka, they're not all for you," she chides, admitting that she did, in part, make them with him in mind. "This festival is to bring people together. You know, like the tribe feasts we used to have back home when we were kids."
no subject
"Yeah, I guess I can deal with that sort of authentic Water Tribe food. It at least reminds me of home." To be honest, it is better, but of course he's not going to say that.
"I know how the festival works, Katara," he says rolling his eyes. Well technically he did, but in fairness he wanted to convenienly forget. "Peace and love and friendship and bonding and blah blah blah. If it changes anything tomorrow, colour me surprised."
