you got a pretty vision
Really, I considered not coming to the festival at all, especially not after the disaster of the last one I’d attended. Such destruction, such loss, it left a bad taste in my mouth. But this time, it’s happening in my own home, and there are going to be guests. Despite my waffling, it’s far too exciting to really stay away from, though I am late. (Though that is only partially because of my indecisiveness, and partially because I needed to refresh the ink on my skin, the designs jagged and sharp, done in roaring oranges and reds.)
As soon as I arrive I am swept you into the buzzing excitement, the joy, the memories of last time swept away easily. I see some people I recognize, who’s names I know, and more still who I saw during spin the bottle, or in passing. I haven’t brought any gifts, I’m mostly just here to mingle after all, but as I see a very familiar serpentine shape I know what my goal is.
I alight next to Jigano just as a girl begins to touch him, and my nose wrinkles. How rude. I move closer, half stepping, half fluttering, and reach out to tap her wrist, my head cocked. ”Don’t you know it’s rude to touch a creature without asking permission?” I say with a smile, giving her a chance to explain herself.
