☀︎ it's a bright beautiful day to talk to a goddess ☀︎

[purevanillacookie]

Who: Sunyonce + everyone I dunno man
What: Sun Seance to talk to Beiwe
When: mumble mumble warm day high noon yeehaw
Where: Grove, safer
Warnings: None right now but if they come up-
[ A few hours before the sun rises to it's fullest at noon, on a day in September before the Monsters Truly Come Calling But There Might Be a Faerie Or Two when it's particularly warm, Pure Vanilla will write a post. It's quick, and to the point. ]

I believe today would be our best bet at contacting Lady Beiwe. Considering the current state of her Church and it's defilement, I feel holding it in the Grove by her statue will be the best course of action. Of course, I am open to alternatives!

[ But really, unlike the giant statue for Ourania, there is nothing else yet for Beiwe. So anyone glancing out their windows will see Pure Vanilla dutifully drawing a large magic circle with radiating lines and symbols and a spot in the middle, in the dirt. He even moves Beiwe's statue to the middle (minotaur strength, yay!) and Ouraina's statue to a spot in one of the Cardinal Directions that symbolize the moon. A place of honor. There are places left open for others to add their own symbols, their own lines, and being as how it's in the dirt, it's easily changeable as more people show up. Add your magic knowledge or find a spot to sit inside the circle if you desire to speak to Biewe.

Or make garlands of her flowers, or make Sunny D or... something. They're winging it. ]


(( like the moon seance this will mostly be a mingle until the mods come in with whether we succeed, blow up, or set the entire place on fire flamebringer. ))

I'll start bringing the salmon that way :)

Peepaw Peepaw'ing

Like the Moon Seance, Pure Vanilla isn't just in a role of making a circle, he's also in the role of making sure everyone who shows up has things to do. Or eat. Shoot, come to the Seance just to have a barbeque honestly. Flamebringer offered to light things on fire, after all, and Mizuki promised fish. For the weird sun baked vitamin humans make.

But that doesn't mean Pure Vanilla can't lay out various baked sweets. Drinks. Sandwiches. Fruits and vegetables. It's nearing lunchtime on the warmest day as Autumn comes closer, you will eat and hydrate and get fussed over.

He can also be found laying out small golden colored stones, that seem to reflect the sun in various manners. One seems to shimmer like a sunset, and the other the soft glow of morning.

... If you eat them, they will taste somehow like a sunset and sunrise, and are crunchy. Yes, they're rock candy.

Other than that he may just be uh. Dozing. Might catch him cross-legged on the circle, head bowed, looking like he's in meditation but if you listen hard enough you can hear the ever so faint sound of snoring.

[purevanillacookie]

Thank you, my dear! I will have some grills set up!

[ Or leave that to FB and a giant bonfire... ]

[lilyberation]

( white lily cookie is here as well, of course! with her staff in one hand, she is walking around placing small bouquets of marigolds, buttercups, and calendulas at different points in the circle. )

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki's here with fish and Sunny D. He's also going to make a little Sunflower crown for peepaw. You're welcome- ]

[purevanillacookie]

[ Fish, Sunny D, and flower crowns! Pure Vanilla will wear his with pride but watch out.

When Mizuki isn't paying attention, Pure Vanilla will drop a crown of calendulas onto Miuzki's head, then pick him up into a hug. ]

[purevanillacookie]

[ And catch Pure Vanilla watching her like she's the very sun he meant to contact. ]

[quirkynote]

[A.B.A. is here, even though she's still not entirely brave enough to truly "mingle." Instead, she grabs as much raw salmon as she can and creeps over to a corner to chow down. Nothing gets wasted, not on her watch.

If you do make eye contact with her for too long, she will flinch as per usual, but she's going to try to be very brave and not scream about it. White Lily is here, after all.]

We're strengthening love, isn't that beautiful?

[This, in truth, is her main objective. As much as A.B.A. likes to pretend she's the authority on all things love and marriage, she knows deep down inside that simply isn't true. She...wants to be better, she wants to see how they do it.]

[lilyberation]

( she's proud of you, sweetie! )

[ghostharasser]

[Dipper is here!! He has brought his spicy sun rock, an arm full of various flowers, and a box of baked goods. He was very excited about helping with a seance, you see. He has also probably dragged his uncles along, so have fun with the Pines family being the Pines family in the same room.]

[What Dipper is also doing, is taking photos. You will see him with his camera snapping shots here and there. When he isn't doing that, he's probably sitting down somewhere making notes, and drawing sketches.]

[Of course if anyone needs his help for anything he's more than happy to hop up and do so.]

[ghostharasser]

Hey, Pure Vanilla!

[Look who has A Rock for you.]

[quirkynote]

[How bad is it that Lily being proud of her makes her feel warm and fuzzy, but when PV said it, she got all frustrated????? Sorry peepaw.]

[purevanillacookie]

Hello, sweetheart!

[ A rock? For him? He will cherish it! What is it. ]

[lilyberation]

( mommy's girl behavior. )

[ghostharasser]

[It's the sun shard!! He is going to give it to him so he can use it however he likes.]

I brought the sun shard for the ritual. Check it out!

[purevanillacookie]

Oh! Let's put this on Beiwe's statue for now.

[ After Pure Vanilla looks it over, holding it up to the sun to peer through it. Gorgeous. And powerful. You don't have to be magical to feel it. And he will gently set it on Beiwe's statue for now, then give Dipper a hug. ]

Thank you! I am sure it will help tremendously, and I will be sure you get it back.

[ It's Dippers, after all. In a sense it came to him like his Truth came to Vanilla. ]

[ghostharasser]

No problem! This seems like the best use for it right now. Kind of uncanny how I got my hands on it right before we needed it, honestly.

[Coincidence? Probably not!! Anyway Smash cut to Dipper snatching it up like a little raccoon in Zahliyaquest.]

How's the ritual prep going?

[thebladebringstheflame]

[Meanwhile on guard duty and not going to talk to God: Flamebringer has made that bonfire. You know the bonfire he mentioned? Yeah, he's lighting shit up. This bonfire, by the way, is enormous, and everyone is quite lucky he can control fire because otherwise the Grove might burn down.

It's a little much. He's having a phenomenal time. Bring him stuff to roast, let's eat and party!]

[lilyberation]

Ah, love...

Do you have a focus in mind?

I can turn this into an actual thread or we can just handwave it if you want

[quirkynote]

[A.B.A.'s gonna play the "will it kebob?" game and pretty much spear any combo of fruits and vegetables PV brought, as well as the salmon and at least one sandwich. Is Flamebringer gonna want in on this?

No matter how horrible the combo, she will eat all of it.]

[theuniverseleads]

[Loop is either helping with random tasks (do you have a random task? do you need help? wave the star person over they will help, probably) or giving dance lessons. Do you want to learn a sun ritual dance?? Of course you do. Get over here and learn a sun ritual dance.

Whenever they run out of things to do, though, they'll find a nice spot to sit down and zone out. No need to touch the food, since they don't have a mouth! And they'd feel bad asking PV for another favour. It's fine.]

[lilyberation]

A dance...? Yes, please.

[theuniverseleads]

[... They are intrigued by the camera. A similar technology exists in Vaugarde, but crafted mirrors aren't exactly portable. This tiny little thing can also make photos? How??

But they're too awkward to ask about it, so Loop is just staring over Dipper's shoulder from a very slight distance away. The glowing head makes it hard to be stealthy.]

[leggierissimo]

[ So many people are here to help! Joshua... is not one of them but what else is new. In fact, he seems perfectly content to sit on the sidelines, probably elevated at least a couple of feet off the ground, either sitting on something or in midair supported by nothing. The air is cooling, and he's intent on enjoying it, thank you very much.

One feature that is constant, however, is a tiny white hedgehog with golden eyes. He may be sitting on Joshua's lap, or he may be tucked inside his jacket, but he's there! He's probably being petted, or being slipped little nibbles of fruit. Or maybe taking a lil hedgie nap. Listen, it's tough work existing out here. ]

[purevanillacookie]

Mm, perhaps! Or destiny. Come what may, it is yours now, and it is up to you what is done with it.

[ It may empower Beiwe to give it back to her, but that's up to Dipper. The question makes him smile and look around a little, then laugh softly. ]

It is going! I am unsure whether simply modifying what we did with Lady Ourania will work, but I do not see why it shouldn't!
