[Third Thread] [Video/Action] Backdated to just after return from Malnosso Land

[abjurer]

Remember Remember
The Fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason,
Should ever be forgot.

Even in Luceti.

[Have a grin after that somewhat ominous recital.]

So, November fifth is Bonfire night where I'm from, where we celebrate the failure of Guy Fawkes's attempt to blow up the King and Parliament by, well, letting off fireworks and having a massive bonfire and occasionally burning effigies. There's also some really great food because what celebration isn't complete without really nice food?

So yeah, November fifth, once it gets dark so maybe, seven? Outside the battledome and we'll walk out to where we're having the bonfire and fireworks. Dress warmly! Any food or drink is very very welcome.


Hope to see you there!

[Max spends the rest of the next couple of days rushing around, trying to find the requisite foods for Bonfire Night. Feel free to approach him!]

[OOC: log for the actual bonfire night celebration will be put up tomorrow.]

That's what I figured. A few illusions and light magic will work really well. Less change of accidentally setting someone on fire too.

[He grins.] Yeah! We have it every year at home and it would be great to have some.

Huh. Must be...really different in your world.

I go to Catholic school at home, and they've always encouraged me. In their own way, at least.

Exorcist. Right.

[greenjacketed]

They'll hate you either way -- worrying or not.

Re: video

[abjurer]

Yup. There's a lot of dead things in England that like to stick around.

[abjurer]

Maybe just in different parts of the world? Not saying all Catholics are the same and it's not like I've had huge problems personally but...

[abjurer]

Exactly. And why give them the satisfaction?

[universal_charm]

I know the name - probably learned it in school, but I'm from Iowa, so it was never a big event there or anything.

And if you think I live in a Utopia, then you have some serious rose-colored glasses on. Like prescription strength.

Re: video

[fightforthelost]

Well, you're right about that at least. Though a good shotgun does better than prayer. In my experience, at least.

Re: [Video]

[faithfulflame]

Maybe. I was just curious, that's all. I'm not actually Catholic, you know.

[luckynumberthree]

We need a guise?

[ video ]

[abjurer]

Yeah, guess so. America's never been big on English customs.

Hey, you probably don't have to worry about every political spat potentially ending in nukes.

Re: [Video]

[abjurer]

Hey! I am a respectable member of society.

Re: video

[abjurer]

Ghosts in my experience tend to not care too much about guns. And what I do has nothing to do with prayer. I mean, it might help some people but I'm an atheist so...

[ Guy Fawkes day sounds so horribly normal after a month in Luceti. She can't resist chiming in. ]

Sounds like a pretty good reason to party. Need help with anything?

[Video]

[abjurer]

It's more of a general thing. Some people just don't like magic. Since that isn't something I'm giving up, well...

[ video ]

[abjurer]

Any reason to party is a good one, especially here.

I wouldn't say no to help lugging wood and food and stuff to where we're having the party, if you're up for it.

[ video ]

[mutantblues]

I think I can lend a little muscle. I just hope you can keep up with me.

Re: [Video]

[luckynumberthree]

Respectable?

[Video]

[abjurer]

I own a business and everything. And okay, my family includes several high ranking diplomats and I think one of my brothers is a spy.

[ video ]

[abjurer]

Hey, I'm not that unfit, thankyou very much.

Re: video

[fightforthelost]

Wouldn't meeting a ghost sort of... confirm an afterlife? How does that work being an atheist and all?

Re: video

[abjurer]

No, a ghost means that something intense enough happened to trap a spirit or a reflection onto the world.

What's an afterlife got to do with my atheism?

Re: video

[fightforthelost]

Just interesting. I figured afterlives usually come with those all-powerful deities and such.

Not that I believe in an afterlife myself.

[Hey, he's been there. Dead for two years before being brought back and he didn't even get a t-shirt.]

Re: video

[abjurer]

Oh, gods. Yeah well, I know they exist, I just don't believe in them.

I haven't really thought that far ahead honestly.
