St. John's Eve Celebration (backdated to the 23rd)

[It's only just stopped raining when Anita lights the bonfire.

She knows this is bad timing. She knows she should probably call the whole thing off. She knows anyone who does show up is probably going to be bruised to hell and back, at best. But it's St. John's Eve and she said there was going to be a party, and if there's one thing Anita is terrible at, it's giving up.

Besides, she did cook an absurd amount of food (with help, of course) and the bonfire is sort of ungodly huge, and she figures that everyone will want sustenance and warmth soon.

She's dressed all in white, as befits her position as host, and before anyone shows up she says the prayers by herself, because she doubts anyone else will want to. That's okay. She's pretty sure the gods will understand, given whole trapped-on-another-world and there's-just-been-a-war-on-the-moon situation.

If you decide to show up to the party outside Community Housing Building 4, there will be a ton of traditional Creole food, some music, a bonfire, and plenty of places to sit in case you're not feeling up to standing. Feel free to mingle!]

Forgiving's a thing people do for compas-- kindness, I guess, and people need kindness here. So I don't got any doubt that gods are gunna forgive you for missing an offering or nothing, why I didn't get in trouble back at New Years. [...] Still, I kinda wish I did know where there was a shine, y'know? I'm not saying it's a shame for any gods, saying it's a shame you couldn't get some kinda comfort out of it, right?

[And he smiles at that]

Well they're gods, right? There's no ways gods don't hear things sometimes, 'specially on some holiday like this. Like you know, Tanabata's coming up, so I'm probably gunna make a wish then.

[...] ...And if I'm still here, New Years next time.

[...But he doesn't want to be here new years. His voice lowers considerably for that one]
