Lotus Festival Roleplay '10!

[bellblosem]

Bell Wonder what were there names. As she was good at making she friends she decided to ask them
"What are your names then?" She asked them, "My name is bell."

She then opened her bag and got out the food that she had brought. She started to eat it and then said,
"Do you want some, I have lots. I think I brought too much." She then gave a little laugh.

[ecco]

She blushed again as he bowed, and she raised her hand to her mouth to stifle a shy giggle. There was something oddly charming about him. "Sho," she repeated the name to help her remember it, "I'm Freya," she said and gave a little bow herself, slightly awkward, as though she was not used to it.

She turned to Bell, and said "and Bell, huh?" she smiled, and ran her fingers through her pale blonde hair, looking from one to the other.

"So where are you guys from, around here? I've never been here before."

[Fuu Sho]

Sho smiled at Bell's offer and grabbed a small rice cake, quickly munching on it. "Yup, something like that," he said, swallowing the last piece of sweet and licking his fingers clean. "It's a nice place, especially in this season," he added, looking at the lotus trees covered in flowers.

[bellblosem]

"Sho and Freya is it then," Bell said. She then turned to Freya to answer her question.
"I came here a few weeks ago, The people seemed nice, and I heard a festive was going to happen, So I stayed. I might stay a little longer," She answered.

She then grabbed one of her own Rice cakes and stated eating it slowly, in very small bites.

[ecco]

Following Sho's lead, Freya decided she would take up Bell's offer too, and nibbled on a rice cake. She looked around as Sho spoke.

"Yea, you're right," she said, "I only got here this morning, but it seems lovely. A little crowded, which im not used to, but I guess that's only natural during festival times, huh?" she laughed quietly to herself and continued to nibble at the rice cake.

[Lunar]

Lunar gathered her shroud around her and began to walk back into the stall area's, curious to see their merchandise.
She noticed one particular stall selling lanterns and candles. Some of them were decorated with intricate detail, some were hand painted, and all of them were beautiful. She simply couldnt decide.
There was a gorgeous navy blue lantern with a crescent moon painted on that had green leaves spiraling around it, though befitting her, she felt herself drawn more to a brightly coloured warm lantern boasting reds, oranges and yellows, with some old Kanji writing on it meaning happy day.

[bellblosem]

"It did seem to have less people before the festive started, I guess they just weren't out very much," Bell said, Taking another bite of her rice cake.

"Are you enjoying your self here? Have you brought anything yet. There's some wonderful stores down there," She said, Pointing at the stalls.

[Fuu Sho]

"Indeed, it gets really crowded at times like this. But the more, the merrier, right?" Sho said, laughing slightly. He looked around, wondering what he could do next.

[ecco]

Freya finished off her rice cake and looked where Bell had pointed, "Oh, I just came from there. I haven't bought anything yet, though. There are so many lovely things, I don't really know what to spend my money on!" she laughed, slightly embarassed at herself.

She looked at Sho and nodded, "Definitely. Well, I have never been anywhere so busy before, but it is a nice change. Everyone seems friendly, at least!" she said with a broad smile on her face. She then blinked at Sho and tilted her head to one side, her smile gone.

"Whats wrong? Dont know what to do with yourself?"

[Fuu Sho]

"Uh," Sho said, turning his attention to Freya. "Oh, I haven't checked the stores much yet, so I was just wondering what was going on there." He stopped a second to gather his thoughts. "If you'll excuse me," he said, bowing in a comical gesture and jumping away from the girls in direction of the busy streets.

[ecco]

Freya watched him leave for a few seconds, blinking in surprise at his sudden departure.

She turned back to Bell, "He seemed interesting, dont you think?" and she hoped she might meet him again later because of it.

"Do you mind if i have another?" she asked, gesturing towards the snacks.

[bellblosem]

Bell watched him leave, Wondering if he would come back again.

She then heard Freya's question.
"He did see interesting, I wonder if we will see him again."She replied, "Oh and sure, you can have another."

"you should have a look at the stalls and buy something. I got a really pretty necklace from there, Would you like to see it?" She said, Getting ready to get the necklace out of her bag.

[Arabesque]

His made for an odd silhouette against the crowd, tall and odd-looking as he was (he preferred to think of himself as 'exotic,' rather) as the man made his way along Flower Street. His fuzzy ears were perked in a fashion that conveyed piqued interest as he peered into shops and stalls, his long tail wagging at the very tip as it swayed to and fro along the ground behind him.

He had little money to spend on such finery, though Fram was sure he'd find a way to pay for some trinket or souvenir before he left. This was a festival, wasn't it? And what is a festival without music and dance?

He paused in front of one stall, admiring the brightly-colored lanterns that were being displayed there.


ooc: He's near your character, Lunar. c: Just so you know.

[Urboros]

Rhee settled down in a small stall, she had gotten for this year's festival. She adjusted the furs and wooden trinkets she had made during winter. Flick was hanging on the stall's banner, he was humming, the warm weather delighted the little dragon. She smirked at him and arranged the lotus flowers he had sucked dry.

[DrunkenShark]

It was the Lotus Festival, an event –and Drend quickly came to note this– where a particular street and the one surrounding it where full of people, coming from so many different parts of the city and even further away. And such a happy crowd was exactly what a lumberjack to hire like him needed to be: the place was swarming with many potential clients, unmistakably.

So as he did many times previously, Drend Millses left his small house on the left side of the Great Gated City and made his way on foot to the Flower Street, the left pocket of his trousers filled with a few simple flyers –listing his abilities as a business résumé– he intended to give to whoever would be interested. Usually only the sight of his impressive shoulders and of his long and heavy axe is enough to attract people in need of a strong worker.

When he arrived, the street was already very crowded and the stalls already opened and working very well or so it seemed. Shrugging, Drend calmly made his way to the street, walking through the crowd as he had in mind to simply scout out the festival place at first; for his own entertainment and curiosity. Work could always wait a few more minutes anyway; plus there were so many different species here, no obvious distinctions, and no rivalry of any kind: it always surprised the salamander-humanoid to see so many poles apart faces talking a laughing together among so many others.

As an example of it: close to him were a very pale woman and some giant blondish fur-ball tranquilly inspecting various stall. Drend smirked, instinctively passing a hand on his bald scaly head.
