He was glad to see people enjoying themselves; some trying their hands at making new lanterns, others making use of the pre-made ones to light prayers and send them skyward. There was a quiet murmur of conversation as groups of friends and families spoke of their constructions and the people they were meant for, though no one else seemed inclined for more public memorializing. It was enough for Jigano that the general air of the event was upbeat, though there were plenty who chose silent solitude for their lanterns.
As more of the glowing memorials began to rise Jigano looked around, glad that the little event was such a success. At first he stayed at the lantern-making table, offering advice when asked and demonstrating a few more lanterns – for Caiside, Adam, and Isla. Once those who were intent on crafting their own had a good start he moved among his friends, asking quiet questions if they seemed inclined to speak of those they were remembering, or simply nodding gratitude for their presence if they didn’t. He helped himself to some of the small fruit pastries and a cup of punch as well, savoring the bittersweet sight of the lanterns rising against the dark sky to bring the prayers of the living to those now held for eternity in Mort’s domain.
This is the end of the planned portion of the ME. Many thanks to those who participated! Feel free to continue interactions and conversations without rounds or turn order, or to use this as a jumping-off point to start separate threads occurring during the party!
