The days go by so rapidly. Normally, at this time, there would be many preparations taking place, as the holiday approaches. The island would be full of life, of laughing children and happy music. I sense no similar spirit here. Perhaps a little celebration could be of some benefit.

[Private to the Marquis]

I do hope you forgive the private nature

Take the bait, Howie! TAKE IT

Forgive me, I am still learning about the worlds of others here. Which holiday is this?

[preachyrose]

May Day. Beltaine. A very important holiday opposite of Samhain.

[grand_lotus]

....I am afraid a little more detail may be necessary. What do these holidays honour?

[preachyrose]

To explain it in full would take more time than I am willing to provide. However, Beltaine is the start of the summer harvest. We celebrate in hopes for a good harvest, execute rituals for purification and transition and for protection.

A party? I love a party!

[preachyrose]

Not a party. A celebration.

[bubble_mobile]

Is that not the same thing?

[preachyrose]

Perhaps to you. But the connotations of the words are completely different.

I suspect I already know who this man might be. Miss Rose, I would be glad of the company.

[Private]

[preachyrose]

I do hope so. I do not like spreading vicious rumors.

When would you care to meet? I would not wish to impose upon your schedule.

[Private]

[impure_tale]

You're not imposing in the least. I take Renate walking at around six in the morning, sometimes earlier, then after luncheon and after supper.

[Private]

[preachyrose]

Perhaps I could join you this evening, then? After supper? I admit that I am a bit impatient to be out.

TROLLING TROLLING.

That's 'cause no one's really into lighting people on fire around here... Most of the time.

Everyone loves 'em!

[preachyrose]

Who said anything about lighting fires?

They make the world go round.

[painhumbles]

Did I mix my pagan customs again? I always do that.

Or..stop moving completely...

[preachyrose]

I suppose you did.
