light it up - Sunjata - 07-01-2026
They have to start it early in the day, because the trek all the way from the Barrows trying to corral unicorns would absolutely take a fair amount of time that Sunjata isn’t sure everyone wants to be busy doing. But, Sunjata’s found – with the help of some of Colt’s old crew – a herd of unicorns that had moved to higher ground for the winter and they hadn’t quite migrated down from there just yet.
Invites are sent out a week after the end of LongNight, when the ground has a bit more time to thaw, and while Sunjata knows roundaboutly the drama it might cause (namely Colt and Vesper, completely unaware of anything between Niki and Vesper), Sunjata waits with a bit of baited breath, a couple of wagons, one for tents and food and whatever else needed to keep the unicorns in check to be brought along – easily attached to one of the hands’ horses. The other remains empty, smaller than the previous one with a halter that’s easy to step into for any attuned with an equine-esque shift (which the Heartless’ got). It’s affixed with a bench, draped with blankets and maps and jugs of water for the trip, a space Sunjata thinks Niki might not be too offended by. “[say]There’s maps in there and a beastiary in case anything tries to slip out of the Barrows to snatch the herd we might not have seen before, or for some light reading.[/say]” Sunjata shoots Niki a lopsided smile and pushes off the edge of Niki’s wagon to step over and look toward the herd to make sure they’re in the same spot while they wait for everyone else to arrive.
First part PQ of herding unicorns to the where the river will go!! Edited to take place a week after LongNight ended! Please post your characters arriving and any supplies they might bring. We've currently got two wagons, a handful of hands from Colt's old crew with their horses, and food/water, tents and rope!

[say]"You know, I had convinced myself you would have painted go-faster stripes on the wagon when you first proposed this idea to me,"[/say] Niki says, biting back his smirk and arching an eyebrow at the wagon Sunjata has just stepped up and away from. He's still dressed as if Deepfrost might blow around the corner without warning, such is the strange version of Flowerbirth that has arrived, in a dark woollen coat with a scarf knotted about his neck and a gloved hand atop his cane.
[say]"Now that I am here, I am almost disappointed that there are not any."[/say] Stepping over to the wagon and peering into it, he's pleased to note that there aren't any particularly special measures in place for him either. He isn't going to be remotely helpful when it comes to riding a horse or actually corralling unicorns - though the creatures do quietly fascinate him by virtue of being companions of Abandoned - but he intends to assist as best he's able with what he can do.
[say]"I will get a head start in looking at these maps then, I think,"[/say] he decides, carefully climbing up and into the wagon to peruse.
Niki arrives! He brings himself and everything on his profile, and climbs into the wagon seat to look at the maps.
