[Video/Action] Feast

[mutation_is_great]

[Voice]
The greatest certainty is change, for it flows like a river, leaving nothing untouched.

[The voice that speaks pauses for a moment.]

I was trapped before. With no confidence that there was a return possible. Until with great suddenness I once again found myself home. And so several seasons passed. Festivals, the building of another temple, births, deaths, the bringing down of a great beast that had terrorized us for years, and so on.

Then once again, I awoke and found myself here. But this time, I knew that captivity here is not endless. At any time, it might change. The winds of change flow, smoothly and continuously. At times they form a great tempest, but for the most part they are so quiet and gentle that you do not notice the changes occurring until you reflect upon what has passed and how much has transformed.

Ah, but such philosophical musings are a character defect of priests such as myself. There are other matters at hand. I have returned, and I have prepared a feast for all.

[The video suddenly switches on, revealing the plump green-skinned woman in colorful, loosely flowing robes. She makes a sweeping gesture across tables loaded down with dish after dish. Just how long did it take her to make all this?]

All who wish are welcome to come here, to where I have set up tables outside the Temple near to the Arena, and treat themselves as a guest. Partake, enjoy, rejoice!

((OOC: details of the Temple's appearance can be found here.))

Oh my! There's so much!

[mutation_is_great]

Yes, and you may eat at your leisure.

[imperial_ray]

Really?!

I wonder if Sol and Sir Ky would like to come along...

[mutation_is_great]

As I said, all may come.

[variabledge]

Y'don't seem too disappointed to be back, in that case.

[she doesn't seem outwardly phased by the woman's appearance, but she is curious. She lets that hold her attention, projecting an air of nonchalance, while internally she feels her stomach drop out at the prospect of returning home.]

I am not entirely happy, but I am not entirely unhappy.

[variabledge]

Well, at least you can look at things from the bright side. But a priestess? Why, I'm bein' rude, aren't I. You can call me Raven. [she gives a cheeky, two-fingered salute.] Awfully generous of you, preparing a party for everyone else when you're the one who returned. Shouldn't they be doin' it for you?

Re: [video]

[mutation_is_great]

You may know me as Melia of Zephyr. Would not it be greatly presumptuous for me to ask others to give me a party? If one wants a party, the simplest way is to create a party.

[Well, it's free food and it's nearby, so why not? As long as she doesn't have to deal with the philosophical ramblings musings of this priest in person, she'll be fine.]

[Sol doesn't bother to announce that she'll be coming to this woman over the Vine. She just shows up and starts chowing down.]

[imperial_ray]

-And she's not alone! Dizzy floats above, observing it all.-

Wow...

[dragoninstalled]

[Sol can't help the tiny, barely there smile that forms as Dizzy looks on.]

You gonna eat or just look?

[video]

[snake_tailed]

[Rumia can't help but drool a little at the sight of all that food.]

Did you make all that yourself?

Re: [video]

[mutation_is_great]

It was a great labor of love.

Action

[gun_cata]

[ It's an open invite, so Larry's not even going to bother shooting Melia a message before showing up. She's not sure how one woman managed it, or if she's expecting anything in turn, but she can't turn down the generosity either. ]

Wow. I'm impressed.

Re: Action

[mutation_is_great]

Just a matter of putting in the work to produce it.

[gun_cata]

It had to take a long time to do that all on your own.

[reallyerotic]

Ah, really? Don't mind if I do.

[mutation_is_great]

The best joys are spread ones.

[reallyerotic]

Especially when being spread by someone so cute.

[spacejumping]

Marking the occasion of your apparent return?

[mutation_is_great]

There's always an use for occasions for cheer..

[spacejumping]

I wonder about that.

[ Marisa thinks that she's met this strange green-skinned lady before - other than a vague sense of familiarity, she doesn't recall anything else about her. ]

Say, have we ever talked before? Name's Kirisame Marisa.

[mutation_is_great]

I do believe we might indeed have met. I would be Melia of Zephyr.

[mastersparks]

[Melia... Melia... nope, doesn't ring a bell. ]

Anyway, getting back home for a while happens sometimes for some of the people here. Like almost every other part of the Gardens, phenomenon's a mystery.
