[ Video ] End of Summer Potluck

From: Áine
Date: September 20th

[ Yona makes a rare appearance on the BBS this afternoon, looking unusually serious. ]

For those who haven't heard yet, or who hadn't pieced together what happened from the... excitement at Ra's temple earlier, Izumo Kusanagi is no longer here. For the time being, Shizuo will be handling matters at his bar, but beyond that... [ She trails off, looking uncertain, because she's a little at a loss at how to handle Izumo's unexpected disappearance herself, let alone how to offer words of comfort or reassurance to anyone else feeling the pain of his loss.

But she shakes her head, as if physically trying to shake off the sadness of the half the cause for this announcement before turning to the other half. ]


I had planned to leave a message here this morning anyway. With summer officially coming to an end now, I thought we might have an afternoon to celebrate it. The goddess Áine governs the summer season and I thought to throw an outdoor picnic at the temple here as the season officially changes to autumn on the 22nd. Shizuo and Izumo had been helping me with preparations and planning for it and have said if we keep the meal as a "pot-luck", there should be plenty of food for everyone who shows up. Anyone is welcome to come if you bring a dish or a drink of some sort, whether we've met yet or not.

I know this is going to be hard for some, considering the other reason for my message - and I considered canceling my plans myself for a little bit - but I also think that maybe this is also needed to counter the difficult times some have been having of late. So, either way, I hope to see some of you there. I'll include the location of my temple at the end of this message and if anyone has any questions about it, please feel free to contact me to ask.

[ As stated, after this message is an attachment with the location of her temple, for those not familiar with it. (A mingle will be posted on the IC date of September 22.) ]

If it's a competition, maybe I should start early and make sure my recipes are perfect.
pure_radiantics: (convo] hmm...)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-12-18 06:00 am (UTC)(link)

Hmm, but then what should the prize be?

We can decide that later.
pure_radiantics: (convo] friendly smile)

That's no fair! You work hardest when you have a clear goal in mind!
clothes_make_the_man: (small smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-12-20 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have anything in mind, then?
pure_radiantics: (convo] giggle)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-12-21 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... an all-day vacation together!

[Swing for the fences?]

That sounds fair. Loser takes the winner wherever they want for a whole day. All expenses paid.
pure_radiantics: (rom] shock)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-12-27 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)

Wait, really?!

[She's so excited now! Because that totally counts as 'losing' but that's half of the point. Kairi nods and smiles.]

Well... yeah! That's what I was thinking!

All right. Challenge accepted, then.

[Either way, they both win, after all.]
pure_radiantics: (convo] giggle 2)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-12-29 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
You got it! Challenge accepted as well.

[And she is indeed going to try and do a good job, rather than just 'letting' him win. That's not her style at all.]

Well, I'm off to plan my menu, then!
