We have only just passed the time of Lughnasadh, the first of the Autumn harvest festivals. In ancient times this was viewed as a prime point in the year to arrange winter lodgings and marriages, and over time became a very popular time to schedule handfastings and other ceremonies. Anyone feeling particularly romantic, I wonder?

I, myself, have

...Dancing naked is part of the tradition?

[Translation: Do we have to participate? Or can we just watch?]

[get_thebook]

It's part of some traditions. Used preferentially during other festivals, of course, but many of the gatherings I attend involve an optional event; we rather enjoy the freedom.

...Nudity's...

Wow.

Don't know if I'll dance, but I'll uh. come. Possibly.

[stopthat_destro]

PERVERT!

[leadsthestars]

I told you before, I am here.

Then climb into the sky already; there's dancing to be done.

[leadsthestars]

But if I sat somewhere high you would not dance.

One of us is very confused right now.

I'm comfort-baking until the Flood ends or Parker kicks me out of the kitchen. Any requests?

[get_thebook]

Any number of things would be seasonally appropriate. Grains of all kinds -- corn, breads baked. For fruits and vegetables, strawberries, gooseberries, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, turnips -- all sorts of things, really. Meats like lamb, chicken, rabbit, crab...

You could get very creative.

[scarlet_discord]

I'll break out the fried chicken and wedges, cornbread and strawberry pie. They're all things I'd promised friends I'd learn to cook anyway!

[flashy_magic]

I can't play music, but I could do a magic show.

[get_thebook]

That sounds most entertaining.

[worstsongever]

I have never been so excited for a party.

Are you Frances Owens?

[get_thebook]

Got it in one.

[worstsongever]

Olive Penderghast. It's so cool to meet you.

[get_thebook]

[She doesn't really know how to take that]

Thank you, Olive. I'm pleased to meet you, as well.
