Who: Everyone!
What: Soledate is now in full swing!
Where: All around the city
When: Now, from July 10th to July 24th

[Today, you might notice, is different from a normal day in Promenade. The sun is up higher than normal, and brighter than it should be. Still, it's nowhere near harmful to anyone, and all of the shadows that are commonly seen in

OUTSIDE LAND'S END RESTAURANT

[dirt_heart]

[Kelly has dreamt up a large barbecue grill outside the restaurant, and is manning it himself. He didn't want to call any of his staff in over a festival, and can handle a little barbecue on his own, it's simple enough.

He's serving all manner of roasted seafood to the passing revelry, tuna, swordfish, squid, even some scallops, cooked in their shells with a bit of garlic and butter. He might even throw on a steak or a burger, if you ask nicely.]

[doeeyedstare]

[Blair normally doesn't have much taste for street food but she has to admit, the smell of the seafood has her intrigued and she wanders over]

Wow, I'm actually impressed. That's quite the selection you have available.

[dirt_heart]

[Kelly smiles. Impressive, that's a good review, and she hasn't even eaten anything yet.]

None of that recently dreamt up stuff, either. We raise all of this ourselves.

[He points a thumb back a the restaurant behind him. They keep massive tanks in the floors above for the fish, even grow their own vegetables and fruit. He's really quite proud of it.]

Anything you'd like?

SOLEDATE :: THE BONFIRES

[seafronted]

[Whether it's for fun, for those who love fire, or for just curiosity, feel free to stop by and chat with residents and other members of the city, or hang out away from the crowd and wonder what people are up to.]

[starshipcommand]

[Jim hasn't been to a bonfire since the summer before all that crap with Nero, at the very least. He bums around it, a beer in hand, milling about and listening to people chat, watching the fire.]

[nottheshoe]

[Nike spots him from the crowd and trots up. Smiling a little]

Hey. Haven't seen any riled up horses lately.

[starshipcommand]

[Jim smiles back and shrugs a shoulder.]

It's all about the timing.

SOLEDATE :: FLORAL FESTIVITIES

[seafronted]

[Come one, come all! Here you can find everything from floral crowns, to floral bouquets, to floral arrangements. It's a time of peace and possibly hilarious joking, too.]

[rightdownrighta]

[Helping make floral crowns and hand them out! ... and when I say 'make', she is dreaming up several more, with very, very large flowers. They probably look rather silly.]

[r_a_m_1982]

[Silly or not, Ram is staring at her in awe with a smile in his face. He never saw flowers before, those didn't exist in the Grid. He's amazed at the colors.]

[rightdownrighta]

Would you like one?

SOLEDATE :: CENTER OF ACTIVITIES

[seafronted]

[Here you'll find the Queen and her son planning and watching over all the activities and doings in the city. From dancing to entertainment, there is no shortage of excitement here. The Queen is keeping an eye on potential candidates for the Master of Ceremonies and the King and Queen of Soledate, so residents should be on their toes!]

[dissimulavi]

[ At the present time, Queen Valrune seems to be examining some flowers. There are guards watching, of course -- even during holidays, they take their jobs seriously. ]

Mmm, lovely.

((ooc: As a note, while it isn't required, I would prefer it if people tagging the Queen also posted their own threads and tagged other people. I know she's an NPC and therefore Important, but a big part of this event is getting CR!))

[dissimulavi]

[ Valrune just laughs. ]

Perhaps, but it is tradition, and a time for enjoyment.

SOLEDATE :: MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT

[seafronted]

[From outdoor plays to musical performances, the streets and city are alive with a hum of activity and happiness. Feel free to watch while things go on, or even partake in telling stories yourself. The children love a good tale.]

[outandproudboy]

Are you ok? You seem irritated. [Blaine's mask is the same as always, but his clothes are quite different. ]
