video 🌸 un: white heron

[mistsplitter]

[ The video starts with two people– a young lady with bluish white hair, bright yet silver, almost blue, eyes, with a distinguishable mole under her left eye, pink ribbons tied around the hair that frames her face. She waves at the camera shyly, before gesturing to the blond next to her. With those sharp red eyes of his, it's bound to capture one's attention. ]

Greetings, everyone. My name is Kamisato Ayaka, and with me is Mister Kaveh, a renowned architect from the city of Sumeru in Teyvat.

[ Somehow, she doesn't say anything about where she's from, but THAT'S OKAY AND DEFINITELY ON PURPOSE. ]

Back home, I, along with my brother, head an organisation within our nation's government that handles its cultural affairs, as well as festivals and ceremonies. Since we all come from different worlds, Mister Kaveh and I had discussed the possibility of organising some sort of art festival for us– for all of us here who were pulled into this world.

Since we may be staying here for some time, I think it is a good idea to have something that is just for us. And it would be fun and exciting to learn about the other worlds and cultures out there through literature, music, dance, and other forms of art. Any income generated for this would be used in our own efforts, as well. If there are other events we would like to organize, or if we need to help our fellow refugees in need, then we can use the funds for it.

[ kaveh steps forward and chimes in, ] And let's not forget baking and cooking. [ since it would be nice to sample the drink and food of other places. ] But~ before all that fun can be had we'd like to see if there's interest. Not only that, but we'd also like to know if you'd want to get involved. [ he pivots, pointing dramatically at the video feed. ] Help us bring this festival to life, because it’s sure to be a good, no, great time!

Now, [ he clears his throat. ] if you don’t mind, please tell us if you’d like to attend, participate, or both - thank you.


[ OOC: We were thinking of doing this late next month, if there's enough interest! :) ICly, it may be in Amberfall, and Ayaka will rent a big events place for it. The festival will last a couple of days! Maybe 2-3 days or so. ]

Have you been out of your world before?

[saxsongs]

Twice before this. I haven't been home in well over two years.

[noarchitact]

Twice?!

What were the other places like?

[saxsongs]

One was a place where touching each other was also very important and you changed forms depending on what moon you were aligned with (there were three).

The other was a full fantasy world with knights, magic and fae and all.

[noarchitact]

...changed forms? What kind of forms did you have?

And that sounds like something right out of a story. It must have been quite interesting to live it all out.

[saxsongs]

Different animals. Sort of like here, but we couldn't sometimes control what we became. I was both a wolf and a dragon a couple of times.

It was. We all learned magic, too. Of course that magic's no longer working here.

[noarchitact]

A dragon? Really??

Well that certainly stinks. After all that, and you don't even get to continue using it.

[saxsongs]

Partly, at least. I had wings, scales and even horns. We did encounter some real dragons, too.

Yeah. It was useful, too. Healing and siphoning out curses.
