Winter is not a season

Who; Everyone (don't forget to tag in & tag around!)
What; The Winter Festival
Where; The circus complex and the park
When; Today & lasting for 1 week
Warnings; None, but if something needs a warning, please label as such!




Back in November, Ignis petitioned Halcyn for a Winter Festival. He requested snow, lots of lights, and an in ground hot tub or two or more.

Train/moogles/horses - There's also a small train to go ride around the city, and horses will again appear for sleigh rides. Moogles will be appearing/on hand to give directions to where things are if people get lost. They are also serving as sources of information in case someone doesn't know anything about a festival or activity. Just ask the moogle kupo!

Food/shopping - Ignis also learned of and requested that European style christmas markets (including Japanese ones) so all of the foods for those countries and all of the things/traditions that they are associated with will be available. Whatever country has what, feel free to learn about it, or whatever different world. Recipe books will be available for whatever place too so pick one up while you can because you might want to learn to cook it for yourself! (Sorry folks, Remy not included) Enjoy all the shopping and fooding even if you've never heard of that place, world or food before. So eat, drink and be merry!

Activities/things to do - Skiing, sledding, skating and tobogganing will be available and if you're really tough, maybe archery hunting in skis may appeal. Riding on a ski lift can be a relaxing thing to do as well. Snowboarding is available as well, but a few words of caution on that. There may be sledding moogles as you go, lots of trees to run into, balloons, and if you hit an igloo, there may be an angry moogle that throws a table at you. There are also snow chocobos and snow moogles along that path.

For those not so daring to go snowboarding, the snow moogles and snow chocobos will be around town in different spots so that they're not missed. And while they won't throw snowballs at you, your friends just might! And you can ride a horse to go see a model of a royal library. A word of caution however, as there may be monsters even if they're mostly slimecicles. There may be some Luminous Lamplings or Bongo Fandangos lurking about too.


Other activities/happenings - There will also be events and things for the Chinese New Year, such as lion dances, all sorts of traditional foods, decorations, fire works, firecrackers and kids might get red envelopes. Since it is now the Year of the Rabbit, adorable rabbit decorations of all sorts are everywhere. On the last day of this Winter event will be the Lantern Festival.

Something else to note - If you're feeling adventurous there's a place or two to get married! The Hunting Lodge is always open so you could married there too! Take a walk through some Christmas illuminations for romance, or just because they're pretty.

Other notes - People from home will appear this week too as it's a fourth wall event, so be on the lookout for them! And if all of this stuff doesn't work, feel free to choose your own wintry adventure!

"Yes, and bread," Lauri-Ell said, a bit confused. How did bread bake?

"I suppose they will. I think I shall take this one and try and figure out how to make this."

He really wanted to ask if he could see this in action. But she'd been kindness itself to show him about the forging so that wouldn't be fair of him to ask for anything else.

Still, he couldn't help but ask. "Can you let me know how it turns out?"

"I will," she says with a smile. If it is good then she will absolutely take pictures of it too. "I will need to share it if it is good. I can bring some to the forge."
orangewayfinder: (But.. (r))

Terra really could use the help with this whole cooking thing so he nodded. "That sounds great, I'll look forward to that."

"Good!" she says with a smile. "I'll pick out some books. I'm trying to learn to do more things, and learning things that aren't smithing is helpful too."
orangewayfinder: (Adult right.. (r))

Reading wasn't Terra's forte although he was capable of it. But if his friend was going to put that much effort into something than so was he.

So he nodded at her and gingerly picked up a book that looked like it was dealing with desserts. Right, he could do this, he hoped.

"Practice makes perfect, right?"

[personal profile] kree_soldieress 2023-02-21 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"It does!" she says with a grin. "That's what smithing is all about. Practice making better. Though Gili says it's not practice makes perfect. It's perfect practice makes perfect. If you practice things wrong, then you'll do it wrong."

Seems reasonable to her.

Well those words definitely made sense to Terra. So he smiled with a nod. "That would apply to cooking too. I mean, if you made something wrong and you didn't know it, you'd keep making it the wrong way."

And people wouldn't eat it.

Oh, that's good as a point too. She considers it.

"I imagine that with food you can tell the errors sooner."
orangewayfinder: (I don't understand)

[personal profile] orangewayfinder 2023-02-28 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded. "Right, and if it tastes terrible or people don't like it then a mistake was made somewhere, right?"

This was why Aqua forbade him from being in the kitchen. And she always complained that he made tea too dark.

"That is what I assume," she agrees, tilting her head. "But it could hurt you actively at that point too."

"Oh, uh ya. I'd imagine it might get someone sick. Don't want to do that."

And that was a horrible thought. He was going to need to learn to make a proper cup of tea somewhere too. Hopefully he could master that one somehow somewhere too.

"I suppose I shall have to try it myself. If one of my stomachs gets upset I'll still be able to eat."

The positives of redundant organs.
orangewayfinder: (Coming after you)

Terra nodded and picked up a few books that caught his eye. "Alright. I guess I'm going to have to try and see what I can do too."

This was going to be tough, but this was a necessary skill and he understood that.

[personal profile] kree_soldieress 2023-03-07 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wonderful. We can compare notes later!"

And she would be happy to show him her results.
orangewayfinder: (Arms folded (r))

Wrap?

[personal profile] orangewayfinder 2023-03-11 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Terra nodded, and picked up a few more books.

"Alright, give me about a week." Because now he was going to have to figure out who to test stuff on.
kree_soldieress: Lauri-Ell from Captain Marvel (Default)

Indeed

[personal profile] kree_soldieress 2023-03-12 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Lauri-Ell nods. She will be happy to allow that.
