FEAST

[lord_wizard]

Anyone who wanders into the dining (gasp, it's actually being used for it's intented purpose!), will find a veritable feast laid out on tables near the edges of the room, glorious both in their bounty and in the light of, you guessed it, even more lamps. You can find any traditional Indian food here, along with an equal quantity of sweet treats you might never have laid eyes on.

The air is rich with the smell of hanging flowers, along with a music that seems to have no source. The middle of the dining room is cleared of tables, so maybe the castle is hoping for you to dance.

Whatever you do, enjoy it.

Alleria is wandering among the tables, dressed appropriately, her golden hair piled atop her head and fastened into place with flowers and pins. She still has a sword at her hip, however; just because this is a peaceful gathering does not mean it couldn't suddenly change.

She seems to be enjoying the scent of flowers and the seemingly magically-derived music, as it reminds her of her home and its capital city. The only thing that is missing are brooms that move of their own accord and a few stray cats here or there.

She's lingering near the sweets, simply taking in the sights and sampling the food every now and then.

Aziraphale has somehow managed to customise his outfit, it's the traditional cut and colour, though in a rather fetching angora wool cloth. One must be certain to wrap up warm now that the chill of Autumn was properly setting in.

Smiling when he saw an old friend he hadn't spoken to in too long, he walked over and gestured expansively.

"What a sight for sore eyes, Miss Windrunner, truly lovely."

At least it isn't tartan! That would not match the decor at all.

Alleria looked up when she was addressed, smiling nearly instantly when she realized who it was. "You clean up nicely as well," she answered, teasing, then turned to face Aziraphale fully.

"Are you familiar with this festival? We do not have anything like this on Azeroth, or at least nothing I'm familiar with."

FIREWORKS

[lord_wizard]

As dusk creeps in over Paradisa, the peace is shattered by sharps sounds of explosions. Don't worry, residents, you aren't under attack. Those are the sounds of firecrackers being set of in the distance.

It seems the Diwali celebrations have spread to town. Children run about on the main street, laughing and dancing about with sparklers, almost beckoning you to come out and play.

As dark settles in, you'll soon see why, as the skies over Paradisa explode with a tremendous fireworks display.

Now much more content in the specifically male clothing she stole from Tesla, Maladict is sitting on a rooftop, watching the fireworks go off.

Okay, so it sounded like a really weird holiday, but at least she could admit it was pretty.

Don't mind this familiar guy dressed in a nice-looking kurta coming up behind you, Maladict, he's totally not here so he can look at the pretty sight or anything. Nope.

"Enjoying yourself?" He sits by her, peering down at the street where residents and locals alike are playing and celebrating the festival. He never really quite understood celebrations, but he had to admit that sometimes they were worth it.

[mal_addict]

Looking good there, Tesla. And of course not. Rooftops are the best places for snark, don't you know.

"It's not bad. I still don't really get what it's all supposed to be about," she shrugs her shoulders. "But it's pretty, I guess."
