[ Ras' handwriting has gotten a lot better, so there's no longer just childish writing from him in the notebook. It still isn't quite "professional", but the grammar is better and it's legible. ]

Hello, this is Ras.

Admittedly, I am feeling a bit "house illness". [ Home sick. He's trying. ] If I might ask, were there any celebrations, festivals or gatherings you all participated in and enjoyed? What was it like? I would like to... if possible, put something together for the lot of us when things are less... dour.

Pieces of our worlds and of things that bring us joy... If we could join those things, that would lighten our spirits, yes?

On Orbis, we held festivals that both celebrated Goddess Diche, but more importantly, focused on community and the coming together of humans to do things like... put on musical performances, race with steeds, funnel the cakes, and competitions of food eating. To name a few.

I never quite understood them, but I liked seeing the humans happy.

HALLOWEEN

[Normally Till would ignore this kind of post, but it makes him feel...so much a kind of way that he finds himself writing before he can think better of it.]

We only got to "celebrate" if our Guardians were having some kindof gathering. I don't know what that's like otherwise.

Hello! My name is not Ween, though, it is Ras.

Musical performances??

[ You activated the neuron, Ras. ]

Ah- um. I don't know about festivals too much culturally but we had a whole bunch of them in Japan. Most were things like, to celebrate the new year or tanabata. As an idol we put on performances for those, but usually they'd have a lot of street vendors and games.

All the more reason to experience one, then. I cannot guarantee it is something you will or will not enjoy, but at the very least, you can say it is something you have experienced when it happens, yes? And it is important to have those memories.

Guess that's true.

So what all do we gotta do to get ready for it?

Oh no sorry man!! Halloween is the name of the holiday, my bad my bad

It's a holiday in which everyone dresses up in cute costumes, like you can be WHATEVER you want. Sometimes people are scary things sometimes they're cute stuff. I was a Sylveon one year.

Usually people dress up and go to parties or hand out candy to kids, but kids who dress up go trick-or-treating which is when they go door to door asking people for candy. It's SUPER CUTE and Hotel Z where I lived/worked at/kind of own now always went all out for the holiday and I saved up all my money to give kids the best candy I could possibly buy. It's FUN.

[Ras may recognize this handwriting as the one that invited everyone to two separate parties in short order. With glitter. Or he may not! Regardless, it's. A bit bigger and more scrawly than last time.]

Luckily for your planning, I am the God of Festivals! You might not understand, but I will be able to flamboyantly assist you in your endeavors to bring celebrations to everyone here!

It sounds like you did understand them quite well already!

[Since he gets they're about making and seeing people happy and all. Baby steps.]

There are many where I'm from, and they're often regional in some regard! Or the time of year it takes place will change with the location, depending on the harvest and the cherry blossoms and the trees changing colors! Aside from that there's-

[Look, he will fill several pages with all kinds of flashy Japanese festivals, and that's a lot of information any one of us can just. Look up and point at and go "that one" so like. Look at him go, look at all that text, wow, he's so serious about this. Wow, Tanabata, wow Hinamatsuri, wow Hanami, wow Setsubun, wow New Years', wow-- You so get it.]
