Happy Diwali [open]

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

Who: All of Paradisa! That means YOU
What: Feasts and fireworks, oh my!
When: The third day of Diwali; Friday, Oct. 28th
Where: Everywhere (though just the ballroom for the feast)
Rating: Um, not more than PG? This is a family holiday, guys, come on...

Diwali is living up to it’s name today. The lights are everywhere today both outside and in.  Stands of candles line the lobby like a temple and lanterns hang from the very ceiling. Everywhere there is light.

Today, however, you can add new smells and sounds to the list as well. Music drifts through the air into the lobby, along with the fragrant, spice filled scents of foods and sweets.

((FEAST | FIREWORKS))

"Oh!" Katara actually seems delighted by that. "I used to be able to heal, too. Pretty handy in a pinch, right?"

"Yep! I could say my skills have save the day at least a few times!" Sure, Professor Sage was the much better healer, but that is a minor detail! "Though...what do you mean used to?"

"Oh, um. You're familiar with losses in the castle now, aren't you?" Katara is turning slightly, moving her attention from Zelos to some of the starting fireworks. "It took my healing."

"Oh...I've heard about those, but I haven't discovered mine yet," He didn't know if he should be worried or feel lucky about that, really. "That must be a bummer, losing that."

[waterbends]

"I don't know. I think I'd rather lose that than a memory or something. There are a lot of things more important to me than being able to heal."

She glances at the sky.

"But this is pretty. Maybe the castle really is behaving for once."

"I guess when you put it that way you have a point..." Not that Zelos really believed it for himself. There were very few memories he would be bummed to lose.

He leans against the railing, glancing up at the fireworks. It reminded me of the shows that would happen in Altamira. "Yeah, it is impressive. But what do you mean by the castle behaving?"

[waterbends]

"Well, it doesn't always just give us food and fireworks." She takes a seat, settling on the grass. "Sometimes it locks us out. Or - changes us for a week or so. It's rarely anything major, but it's really annoying. I went two weeks where I couldn't waterbend, only firebend."

"Oh. I think I heard a little bit about that..." When he bothered to pay attention anyway. Which was only half the time.

"Fire and water bending? What's that?"

[waterbends]

"It's kind of similar to the magic that you some of you guys here use."
