So, back before the last Fissure dive, I'd mentioned something about throwing a festival... that wound up being made into a Fire Festival, thanks to Tali.

That's something I'm still really interested in helping make happen, especially after the Fissure. So far, it's looking like the lineup (in no set order) is:

-spicy food contest
-fireworks
-dunking booth
-voluntary roasting*
-burning of the effigies
-a fashion show that fits the fire theme

This is all thanks to ideas from the last post, one of my lovely fiances, and some things I considered while being stuck in bed, sick.

Any thoughts or other ideas?




* With some reasonable limitations on what can/can't be brought up/said about the person in the hot seat. Going too far means forfeiting participation in the thing (and possibly being removed from the festival altogether), until all involved people have had time to cool of.

Let me know if you need extra hands for anything?

[beguiledcard]

I always welcome help from awesome people.

Want to meet up and go over the list, so you can pick what you'd like to pitch in on?

Fire-themed clothes... Have you also been somewhere they wore those?

[beguiledcard]

Well, I can't say I have. I kind of remember there being a movie about someone wearing what looked like clothes on fire, but that was all special effects.

I meant something along the lines of lots of reds and oranges and yellows. Super bright stuff!

Definitely sounds like fun.

If you need a few extra hands for the spicy food, let me know.

[beguiledcard]

I think Ignis is making one thing, and I'm planning to do something based on a recipe I invented back home.

We could definitely use more! Maybe something that isn't curry?

i volunteer to do fireworks.

[JAIL NO.]

[beguiledcard]

I welcome it. I'm sure Robin wouldn't mind a hand, since there are a LOT of fireworks......

[mutation_is_great]

sounds delightful. Σ(ノ°▽°)ノ i can cook, and i know a lot of spicy recipes. id also suggest a traditional haven activity, but most outsiders seem to think its crazy

[beguiledcard]

Feel free to bring something to it, then! I'm thinking this should happen in the next two weeks, or so.

And you're welcome to try me. I encourage ideas of all kinds.

Barbecuing, perhaps? If we have the equipment and sauces.

[beguiledcard]

Not a bad idea. I can see if Ignis knows any good recipes.

[letsplayer]

im still making smores

[beguiledcard]

I'll definitely hold you to that. I look forward to trying them!

I could do a spiced coffee for this thing.

Why the fire theme, though?

[beguiledcard]

To match with the Effigy thing, honestly.

I'm hoping to help create more positive fire-related memories for people who need them, after the events in Incendia.

[fistsofchange]

This all sounds like a wonderful idea and while I don't think I have any particular skills that would be useful in setup beyond manual labor, I'm happy to offer that much at least. It seems like there'd be a lot of busywork for this kind of event anyways.

[beguiledcard]

Wanna help with setting up a stage area for the fashion show?

[moarlazersplz]

For the fashion show, would they be clothes that we wear ourselves, or could we also try to design/make clothes for others to wear?

[beguiledcard]

Since one of my fiances is in charge of this one, I'll ask him. One of us will get back to you on this soon!

[serrata]

It looks like you've got plenty of volunteers for food, but I'll throw in an offer as well. You'll probably need some alternatives to spicy food so I can see about making some finger food and desserts, maybe?

[beguiledcard]

There can never be too much food.

[ Spoken like a true Wildcard...... ]

How are you with strawberry pie? I think a lot of fire-related colors will work nicely.

Want to be in charge of making sweets and maybe some slightly more neutral-tasting foods? I know of a few people who aren't fans of spicy, and a few who aren't a fan of either.

I must have misunderstood something. By "voluntary roasting," you cannot mean that *people* will be roasted?

[beguiledcard]

Ah, yeah, I keep forgetting to specify... Sorry about that! This kind of roasting is actually a slang, where I'm from. It means telling playful jokes at the expense of the volunteers.

[ HE'S SORRY, ARIANNA... also, this message will be coming some time later, after he's asked Goro his thoughts: ]

On a happier and less uncomfortable note... Is there any chance you'd be willing to act as Judge 3 for the fashion show?

un: hangarprincess

[hurt_comforting]

If this doesn't end up a barbeque I will be extremely disappointed.

I'm in. Making sides and drinks and, since we can, roasting meats.

As for fashion, I have all this bright makeup from Incendia I can help folks with...

[beguiledcard]

There's no way I'd let an opportunity like that be missed!

Mind tossing food ideas at Ignis, since he's the guy doing the main catering? I'm sure he'll love the help. Alternatively: do you know how to set up a barbecue?

[ Makeup, though!!! ]

Makeup sounds like a great idea, too. One person plans to offer help on clothes, so that works out great.

[class_struggle]

Well you can count on me to start and control bonfires for this.

And a very happy midsummer to you, too.

[beguiledcard]

Your help will be greatly appreciated. I think the more people with fire control around, the better.

Happy midsummer!
