Kid, I feel like yelling
Ring the bell and bang the drum
The season would hold great hardship and tragedy as it went on, Bastien knew. Fantasies of the Ascended all easily overcoming the monsters without a scratch were attractive, but even Bastien, a prolific dreamer, couldn't believe it was realistic. Who would they lose? Would he still be here to see the Flowerbirth, to care for Azrael?
It was all very, very depressing. Combined with the anniversary of Rexanna's death coming up on the horizon, the artist was in a fog for a few days. Continuing in his routines, smiling for Azrael and Pittore and making art, but rotting away inside, feeling his chest hurt and burn as if his Ascended heart was getting smaller. He decided, as he couldn't even bring himself to take out a new canvas for the day, that it was time to do something silly and fun, no matter how much he didn't want to.
Some levity would help them all, he thought, and he had an idea too. Caido had recently bloomed in Firling trees, odd and quick growing things - they would look wonderful with some decoration, as would many other parts of the grounds; the walls, the doors...anything, really. Just some colour and joy before the darkness over took it.
So Bastien made a notice and set out his tables, ready for anyone that wished to come to make whatever they wished. Clay, wood, modelling tools, paper, paint...if you could make a decoration from it, he had it, and he sat at the head of the table like the King of Arts and Crafts, waiting for them to arrive.
