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!

"But it is. Because you're my friend, and you were one of my subordinates in Nibelheim."

The simple truth was that he felt like he owed Cloud. That he had failed to keep the guy safe. Cloud never should have had to face Sephiroth.

"I should have been better at it."

"None of us could have expected what happened, Zack." Or what Sephiroth would become, the depths to which Hojo would sink. They couldn't have anticipated any of it.

"And I'm not that kid anymore."

"I should have," Zack insisted. He saw what happened to Angeal, to Genesis. HE should have known. How had he not? He hated how he had failed everyone by not recognizing it all.

"No, you're not. You look pretty badass actually."

"Why do you need this to be your fault so bad?"

Not that Cloud can really judge anyone for it.

"I-" That comment threw him off. Zack thought he was cool? That was the ultimate compliment. "...uh. I guess?"

[personal profile] legacy_blade 2023-05-05 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Because it was, Cloud. How was it not? Geez, can't he even see that? Did he not remember how badly Zack failed? How often?

Still, he'd rather focus on the uncertainty and jumped on it.

"No, really. I mean it. It's a shame you didn't make Soldier, even though I think you were also sorta better without it. But you totally would have been a first. Oh man, what would your fanclub have been called. Probably Cloud's Chickobos or something."

Not at all. Cloud only remembers Zack doing his best, Zack being his friend when no one else was, being a mentor.

He grimaced, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "I don't need a fan club."

"Well, I'm part of your fan club anyway," Zack says with a smile, reaching out to muss Cloud's hair, provided the guy doesn't flinch from it.

He doesn't flinch away, but he does groan, like a teenager frustrated with attention.

"Yeah, okay. I get it."
legacy_blade: (Hello There!)

[personal profile] legacy_blade 2023-05-11 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
See, there it was. A guy who knows how to take affection. So wonderful.

"Good. Glad to hear it. Now I suppose I have to start recruiting people."

"What?" He shook his head, crossing his arms and looking away, breathing a sigh. "Not interested."

[personal profile] legacy_blade 2023-05-15 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Zack smiles.

"Awww, not even if I name it something cool? The Chocoknights!"

It would work.
mostlycloudy: (Default)

[personal profile] mostlycloudy 2023-05-20 12:22 am (UTC)(link)

"The ChocoKnights?" Where was he even- "Is that supposed to be a crack?" He grins, shaking his head, before crouching.

He might even be gathering snow.

Zack grins and reaches out to pat the smaller man's shoulder.

"We'll get t-shirts. Aerith and I can be your first two members. Oh! And we can make a fan club for Aerith. Flower Queen!"
mostlycloudy: by <user name="famira"> (» 046)

[personal profile] mostlycloudy 2023-05-24 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Now Aerith deserves a fan club." Not him, though. He's not cool, man. He's awkward.

"You both do," Zack says with a smile, warm in the face of the cold day. "Trust me. I've been in a few."

He chuckled at that, shaking his head. It shouldn't surprise him to learn that.

"Like whose?"
legacy_blade: (Default)

[personal profile] legacy_blade 2023-05-31 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Zack smiles and raises his fingers to count off.

"Sephiroth, you know, before all that stuff. Angeal, because duh. And Genesis. Both of them. I don't know why I did those ones. Oh, and my own."
