♈ Aradia: Ruminate.

[ar0se]

[The time: just after sunset. The place: a couch in the lobby, because where else does anything happen. For anyone passing by, she is dressed elegantly in a red blouse and sari (which Vivi had to teach her to wear), and her hair is pushed back with a headband

It's some other Earth holiday, apparently.

[ar0se]

thats odd
i wonder why theyd schedule two holidays right on top of each other :I

[mal_addict]

Seems a bit daft, doesn't it? There'd be schedule clashes all over the place.

[ar0se]

or people would get them mixed up
youd go to get dressed in your fancy diwali costume and suddenly you are also wearing a witch hat

I think it's an Indian holiday.

[ar0se]

[wornbright]

[ pause. ]

A person from India...

[ar0se]

Diwali. It's a festival celebrated by many Earth cultures, though not my own.

[Rose is passing through the lobby on her way to the kitchen, dressed in her normal clothes. She had no interest in wearing the provided clothing, but she pauses to admire Aradia's.]

You look very nice. The color suits you.

[ar0se]

[Aradia smiles and pushes her hair back over her shoulder to show off the embroidered end of the sari draped there.]

Thank you, Rose. The pleats in front are such a pain to keep straight though, haha. [Buuut sizing up Rose...] Didn't you get a Diwali outfit?

[fluthlu]

[She walks closer to the couch, admiring the embroidery a bit more.]

I didn't feel quite like fiddling with an unfamiliar garment when I dressed this morning. I might wear mine tomorrow. Though I'm sure that I'll look quite ridiculous in it.

[ar0se]

Pfff, and I am equally sure you'll look great. I would be okay with placing a bet on the subject.

Over the journal, voice

[fatedtobehated]

"I'm not sure really, but it's certainly interesting...the decorations are wonderful.""

also voice. is trolltext ok? :3a

[ar0se]

that i will not argue with!
im not sure whats the point of all the colored dusty stuff though
it looks like a huge mess waiting to happen

Trolltext is always ok B)

[fatedtobehated]

"Apparently it's a part of the tradition...maybe to ward away spirits or something? That's usually what these kinds of things are.

Still, there's chalk everywhere, it's all over my clothing and I'm having difficulty getting it out, and I don't really wanna wear the stuff in my wardrobe either.."

:B

[ar0se]

why not?
the guys stuff looks super comfortable
it would be like wearing embroidered pajamas

[volubilitas]

I'm not sure about the culture, but it's another holiday. I do think that something will also happen for Halloween, though.

[ar0se]

maybe itll combine the two
hehe i think that might give a certain someone a color aneurysm though

[volubilitas]

That would be a lot of colors...

Who?

[ar0se]
