OPEN | let's change from the heart, let's shout

Who: Anyone and everyone! That means you! Yes, you, c'mere.
Where: The stream and the lake.
When: July 12th, evening.
Rating: PG in case any of y'all get wild with that decorating.
Summary: Come and take part in a mini lantern ceremony, Wonderland-style. Mingle away, comrades!
The Story:





The evening of the 12th, visitors who feel like moseying their way to the stream where it empties out of the forest will be able to enjoy a summer celebration in the Japanese style. Outdoor lights illuminate the area, and tables hold all manner of art supplies and blank paper lanterns waiting to be decorated.

Didn't catch the network 411? Someone around will surely explain: it's a nod to toro nagashi, the paper lantern ceremony meant to guide the souls of the departed by decorating lanterns and setting them loose. Maybe you have a departed soul you'd like to remember, or a prayer to make. Maybe you'd just like to write a note message-in-a-bottle style. Maybe you just feel like taking the air and enjoying the sights. The choice is yours!

Either way, once the sun has set and lanterns have been decorated, the candles inside will be lit (remember fire safety, kids!), and the lanterns will be released into the water.

Gather at the lakeside afterward to watch them empty into the lake and enjoy the ambiance with some food and drink. Because we could all use a little more light in our lives, no?

[Was I happy here?]

[He certainly smiled a lot when he was a flower. He laughed, and he cried, and the world played havoc with his emotional state. And he smiled, sometimes, in other moments in time, when his shape was more recognizable as belonging to the crown prince of the Underground.]

[Was he happy here?]


I don't know.

[No.]

[Not really.]


Sometimes people come and go, and they forget in between.

Papyrus did too.

[... Of course.

That made the most sense, didn't it? This wouldn't stay, he'd go away, and everyone would continue to exist without him. Why was he even unhappy about that, anyway? That's what he wanted. To be forgotten and left in peace while everyone else moves on.]


Maybe... it'll be different, this time.

[Even as he says it, he doesn't sound very convinced. He doesn't really want to deal with it, or pour his heart out to Frisk yet again, who was only trying to tell him the truth.]

Papyrus too, huh? I imagine he didn't mind too much.

[That guy is the physical embodiment of optimism. Asriel isn't sure how he does it.]

[Maybe he did; he came from the same bad ending both times.]

[Asriel may have to work harder to sound adequately convincing, both to himself and to Frisk. They can't claim to know for certain, nor can they put forth that they do without uttering a lie.]

[An ugly truth over a beautiful lie. It's what they've begun to learn is best.]


Maybe it will.

[Their tone is even, one of placid neutrality. Neither agreeing nor disagreeing.]
