Harvest Festival of Lights [Social][Open to All]

The scent of pumpkin pies and cinnamon spices filled the air as children and couples ran through the streets. The sounds of joy coming from their mouths as the Rose Garden was engaged in it's annual festival dedicated to the harvest time.  Farmers from all over shipped in their goods and had local vendors with cooked dishes starring their organically grown crops. Not only were there vendors for foods, there were also vendors for midway games such as the strong man hammer strike, throwing darts at balloons upon a board, using water guns to race wooden horses across a backdrop, and even that nearly impossible game to knock over those 6 cups with a rubber ball.  A myriad of things for people to do.

Anastasia and Taliya arrived to the festival at around 1:20 PM that day, noticing a large and grand ferris wheel spinning across the sky.  Taliya took a few steps forward, gazing on like a child in a candy store.  The look of awe and amazement would warm the hearts of even the coldest of men.  "This is what humans do to celebrate autumn?" Taliya asked simply with Anastasia chuckling to herself.  

"Some people, yeah.  Harvest time is important to human culture.  Without it, we wouldn't be alive right now, Taliya," Anastasia responded only for a brisk breeze to blow through her hair, causing her to pin the hair on the side of her head down to her face.  The breeze was chilly as the seasons began to transition from the warmth of summer to the cool of autumn.  

"I want to go play some games, Ana," Taliya said as she swung her large, fluffy tail from side to side.  After some more pleading, she got up close to Ana and swung her rear from side to side, pleading.  "Please!  Can I have some money so I can play some of these games?"

With a sigh outward, Anastasia nodded her head and pulled out her wallet and gave Taliya about 10000 credits.  Taliya's eyes lit up for a moment, took the money graciously, and gave Anastasia a big, warm hug.  "Thanks, Ana!" she said before speeding off.

"Meet back at the town center at dusk!" Ana shouted as Taliya simply responded with a wave before vanishing into the large crowd.  A giggle came from Ana's lips as she put her wallet away.  Sometimes, it was good to just play games and not worry about the world.  That was what these festivals were good for.  Even if the world turned to a state of madness, little things like these gets people's minds off of the terrors in the world.  

Ana looked around, now wondering what she should do as well.

The sounds of laughter and joy filled continued to fill the air.  Anastasia walked passed multiple stands until one caught her eye.  A type of candy she had never had before called "Cotton Candy".  This caught her eye for a moment with the bubblegum pink and blue colors just dazzling and overtaking her vision and the smell of sugar overtaking her sense of smell.  Her mouth began to water as she saw a couple walk away, biting into the fluffy puff of sugar.  

The look of amazement was apparent on her face before the man at the vendor gave a big smile. "Hey, miss!  Come and pick up a cotton candy!  Just 200 jewels and it can be all yours," the man said as Anastasia reached into her pocket to pull out money.  As she was about to pay for one pink ball of fluff, she noticed out of the corner of her eye, a child being denied a drink.  That vendor didn't sell alcohol, so why would the child be denied something they want to drink?  Strange, maybe the child didn't have enough money.  She signaled for 2 cotton candies instead and paid the fee.  She had one pink cotton candy and another blue and pink cotton candy.  

She didn't know which one she wanted to take!  They both smelled so good!  Unknown to her, however, there wasn't a difference in the taste; just the color.  She cleared her throat and casually took a seat next to the child.  The child wore a blue suit and red bowtie and he had a big frown upon his face.  The blue and pink fluff was placed in front of the child with Anastasia looking at him with a smile.

"Oh, wipe that frown off your face, kid.  It's a festival.  You should be having fun," she said with a little giggle.  She had offered him one of the puffs of sugar as she bit into the completely pink puff.  The flavor of the crystalized sugar made it's way into her mouth, causing her to squeel a bit.  She never tasted anything like this before!  Well, she would be too busy eating tavern food and drinking alcohol to know of the pleasurable treats in life like cotton candy.  Certainly, she has had candy before, but nothing like this!

"Here, you can have this one," she said as she took yet another bite from her pink puff.  Another squeel came from her lips.  "This stuff is so good!" she exclaimed as she took yet another bite.  She's going to suffer with a stomach ache at this rate.  

A woman was escorted by a flower fairy walked on past looking content and excited to be alive.  "That's how your face should look right now, ya know," she said with a nod.  "My name is Anastasia Isayev, what's yours?"

The child responded with his name. Conan. What an interesting name it was. Anastasia took another bite out of her cotton candy and chuckled at the boy. He was quite adorable. She simply responded by placing her hand on the top of his head and ruffling his hair. "It's a festival, little guy. Cut loose and don't worry about what people think of you, alright?" she stated in a rather mentoring manner. She didn't like innocent children feeling down, especially since they are forced to live in such a messed up world like this one.

Fortunately for her, she doesn't know that he's a mage. Her attention was grabbed as she bit into her cotton candy once again, half-way finishing her confectionary treat. As she ate her treat, she looked up to notice another boy approaching. He seemed to be carrying a bunny with him, which brought a little smile upon her face. He made a comment about the boy's smile and turned to look to him. That was the kind of thing that HE had to respond on his own.

And then, finally, a girl by the name of Summer arrived with her pet as well. So many people with so many pets. With the way she was dressed, she was obviously a mage. Nobody would be caught dead wearing that if they weren't eccentric like a magic user. Her little friend, Laysha, was just simply adorable. Perhaps her little squeel was too much for a lot of people to handle. She did notice her walking by just a moment ago, pointing her out to Conan.

"Well, hello Summer. And hello there, Laysha," she said with a bright smile to the two of them. Before Anastasia was able to answer the question, she felt a buzzing upon her front breast pocket. A little grumble could be heard from her as she bit into her cotton candy and flipped the contraption open. "Yeah," she said into the phone.

"Oh, c'mon! I'll be right there," she said as she angrily closed the contraption. "Well, I've got somewhere to go for a little bit. How about you three get to know one another and I'll be back here in a bit, alright?" she said in a welcoming manner.

She stood up and replaced the contraption back into her front breast pocket and grumbled, walking off back towards her ship. It seemed that one of her men, pirates of the open air, decided to attempt mutiny. Strange, considering the dominant opinion of her from her men was extremely positive. Maybe she could talk him into reconsidering or keelhaul him, whichever. She isn't going to let a man free for starting a mutiny. That would be unforgiveable to the Pirate Code. They could always join another group and give them the ship's secrets. And Ana can't have that.
