[Today, if you wander around camp, you might find something a little...odd. Like the fact that there appears to be an entire Japanese village festival spontaneously appearing in the middle of a previously empty cornfield, complete with booths staffed with either zombies, or your fellow campers. You might even be irresistably drawn to run one

ITT Rika performs the ritual

[moextispicy]

[it is a very solemn ritual, filled with lots of deeply symbolic gestures precisely performed with a heavy ritual hoe, that ends with one thoroughly disemboweled futon. Anyone watching gets a ball of cotton from the aforementioned disemboweled futon to float downstream.]

[Picking up a little cotton?]

*sure, why not*

[sharpasafawkes]

[drift little cotton, drift!]

Not sure my soul feels any lighter, you?

[x_autnihil]

*doing the same*

Was it that weighed down before?

[sharpasafawkes]

[x_autnihil]

The cotton symbolizes your sins, and putting it in the stream means you've let go of all the sins you've committed over the last year.

Re: ITT Rika performs the ritual

[sharpasafawkes]

Well a little sin-clearing's a good idea in principle.

Re: ITT Rika performs the ritual

[moextispicy]

Exactly.

Re: ITT Rika performs the ritual

[if you are of a nasty and suspicious turn of mind...yeah, the ritual gestures totally evolved from disembowelling a person.]
