According to the Sabonile priests, Hapoyela wishes to properly welcome the Foreigners and the kedan to the full scope of Tavimbi's hospitality, and has instructed the clergy to organize a suitably impressive celebration for the citizens of the oldest living Great Turtle. All Foreigners, as well as many notable kedan including the Family heads, are invited to attend a grand feast and celebration at the Sabonile Temple, one of the largest buildings in all of Hatal.

The clergy has promised an evening of good food, lively entertainment, and the magnificent blessings of Hapoyela. At the same time, the Sabonile will be hosting a soup kitchen in the Temple's courtyard, feeding the hungry and the poor, as dictated by their religious tenets and beliefs.

While those who receive an invitation to the event, which the Sabonile consider a sacred charge from Hapoyela, are not required to attend... it could be seen as a disrespect to their deity.

MOD NOTE: For the naked after party section, soul gems are still allowed to be worn. If your character isn't up for stripping down, they can excuse themselves from that segment of the evening, which will have no negative repercussions with the Sabonile. In this case, they will simply do a wave-over blessing from Hapoyela around the person, and bid them a pleasant evening before they go.

Comments

When she spots another woman who is clearly not a native, she can't help but be relieved, and laughs a little at her comment. "Well, if they've got an issue with our hair being down, they're going to have to get over it or speak up fairly quickly..." she grins, setting aside the last of her own clothing. "That and... well. I almost feel like I'm cheating anyway..."

Because not only is her hair down and long enough to cover her breasts fairly well, but she's also got a large pair of wings to cover her from behind. It's not exactly cheating... they were a natural part of her, and given the nature of the situation, it would be wrong for the Angel to have her wings hidden away. At least, that's how she feels about it.

The fact that her new companion is another female is definitely comforting, considering she knows that the cleansing areas aren't separated by gender. "It's almost like following the letter of their rules, but not the full spirit."

She takes a good look at the other woman to see the wings and her eyes grow large. "Oh! I don't think that they could really blame you for those. I mean, I suppose they could, but it would be futile."

She gives a considerate shrug. "Almost, but really, wouldn't styling it make it less natural in a way?"

She giggles at the rush when the woman notices her wings. It really never gets old. "It really would be. They're honestly the purest part of who I am."

Pause. "I'm Dove," she offers, extending a hand.

"I suppose so. I don't think I have much to worry about. After a while in the steam, I think my curls will become tighter."

Padmé tries to be tactful and look at the other woman's face and not the beautiful wings at her back. Considering the variety of alien lifeforms she's acquainted with, wing shouldn't really surprise her, but they do a bit. But, she has manners and staring is rude. "I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that about an appendage before."

She takes the hand offered to her and shakes it firmly. "Padmé Amidala, it's nice to meet you, Dove."
