a late autumn wasp

Who: Everyone!
What: A harvest festival and talent show.
Where: Howl Barrow
When: Misdi, the first of Maryden.
Notes: Players are encouraged to invent NPCs, talent acts, or have their characters participate in the show. Have questions? Need to plot more? There's an OOC post for that.

The Zygoda squats in Howl Barrow like an extravagant toad, weighted down by enough decorative architecture to make a baroque angel blush. Live colourful birds - of which an alarming number appear to be cockatoos - roost between the columns and pillars of the facade. The light-up sign outside declares THIS NIGHT ONLY AT THE ZYGODA; AUTUMNAL FESTIVITIES; AMATEUR NIGHT; EVERYONE WELCOME; HARVEST PIES!

The street beneath it has turned into a carnival in its own right; there are tents and stalls selling anything from fortunes told, candy, face paint, and odd little handicrafts. There are street performers and vaudeville artists putting on shows that invite bystanders to join in. The crowd appears to be in a good mood, happy perhaps to be able to let lose and blow off some steam in a friendly context for once. Some wear masks, others are dressed in finery, and others still look like they just got out of work. No one seems to mind either way. The theatres doors stand open, inviting those who wish to step inside.

"S'not bad. It's orange, but doesn't taste of orange. I can't tell you what it is or tastes like, but it's not too sweet?" Njoki looks down at her plate and stabs a piece of pie off to eat. It would be better with a cup of coffee or maybe a pot of tea, but you can't have everything. "Might be persimmon?"

"Persimmon?" Aimery made a small thoughtful noise, a soft hmm as she are her bite of pie, then gave a firm, agreeing nod. "I shall give it a try then, thank you."

He half turned back towards the pie table but stopped himself, deciding pie could wait until he confirmed they had, in fact, met. "You attended the Luthor birthday party about a month back, yes? You had a... Columbina mask, if I recall?"

"Oh, I remember you now. You were working, right? Dressed as the wannabe sheriff, yeah?" She chuffs, genuinely happy to see someone she knows and juggles her plate of pie so she can better offer to shake hands.
