Autumn, despite the chillier weather, is a season of warmth and gathering. Perhaps moreso this year than normal, given the rather unplanned gathering of Celliwig and Lestari underneath Camelot's roofs. Though significant contributions from otherworlders have made food, shelter, clothes and other productions and donations, medical care, security and protection, and childcare an amazing group effort, typical individual celebrations for the departure of the dead from Avalon aren't being held, like Lestari's Death Ball. After looking at all the support they've been given, Lestari and Celliwig have looked at what they have to offer to help both their own people and the people of Camelot and other worlds. |
The people of Lestari excel in cognitive magic, and while there are those who use it for mind-altering magics, there is a good portion who dedicate their studies to emotional and psychological support. One such method is the enchantment of origami paper into something affectionately called Worry Monsters: an specialized counseling technique used to help form support bonds between people with negative emotions. Having spent a portion of the month enchanting paper, two square sheets of paper are handed out to anyone the encounter. | | |

There are a variety of paintings with different curses applied. Navigate through the library and escape the haunted paintings-- pairs who make it through without turning back will gain a Celliwig Token. | ||
Another token can be gained via scavenger hunt in the Broceliande. Find cursed dolls from within tree hollows. The dolls will giggle and try to run away, may move when they're only visible in the corner of your eye if you set them down. What's perhaps a little spookier is that they take on the appearance of the first person to touch them, though they will never exceed three inches in height. |

![]() | The last test of courage invokes a temporary blindness hex on one of the partners. Both partners are walked into a soundproofed room, entirely silent in a way that truly seems to mess with one's head. The unblinded partner is only allowed to answer "yes" or "no" questions, though no one will fault them for giggling as long as they give no clues otherwise. The blind partner is to stick their hands into a tank of water with mystery items hidden within. These items may be mere objects like peeled grapes in soggy noodles, or perhaps the tank is filled with chicken bones and those tiny garra that eat dead cells and are sometimes used for pedicures. All the items are set up to feel spooky, but ultimately are unharmful. As long as the partner who can give clues doesn't break the yes/no rules and the item is guessed within 3 guesses, a token will be rewarded! |

Bring tokens to the inn where a stall has been set up, with Gwion working the booth to exchange tokens for the following prizes:

[ He'd mentioned Russia and the Yaga, but hadn't gone into details. She wasn't going to recount their entire conversation... But it'd been pretty obviously a very painful topic. ]
What I find weird is that following the Many World Interpretation, such a world should be able to exist on its own. Quite literally any possible world, regardless of the outcome, can exist as its own little reality. Heck, I have friends who are ducks and come from a different Earth!
[ If an infinite number of parallel realities existed, then those "Lostbelts" should be able to exist as their own reality without overwriting another, even if they were bad endings for humanity. Quantum physics didn't really care about how things went on this little planet in a far-flung corner of the universe. Maybe she was missing a crucial detail...
Speaking of details, one didn't escape her-- ]
But so you really are the heroine of your story, ahaha~
no subject
[ It's not that she'd ever absolve herself of the guilt of what she's done. There are thousands of lives that no longer exist because of her, and because she refuses to give up on her own timeline. That's the true moral quandary, isn't it? In order to live, like she swore to the Beast, she has to make that choice again and again. ]
I really don't feel like a heroine, though. I'm just someone who really, really wants to live. Even if I have to erase another world to do it... I can't just give up on that. I promised people I wouldn't, and I don't want to for my own sake. It's not really noble at all.
no subject
[ She closed her eyes and looked down for a moment. ]
When I was trapped in the game, I... Did the things I did for my own sake only. [She took a deep breath.] Nothing was real around me, so I started thinking even my friends were not real. No... I convinced myself they were not real. That way I could be selfish and not have to deal with guilt. [And even then, evidently enough that hadn't worked.] I think that's what makes a heroine. Selflessness.
no subject
[ It's not entirely like Monika is wrong, but that doesn't make Ritsuka's guilt any easier, or feel any lighter. ]
They're being given a second chance by a god of some sort. There's seven of them total competing against each other, and whoever wins--in theory, whoever wins gets to become the "proper" path of human history. I guess if the winner also gets a second chance to keep going and do it better, but I don't know how that works. If anyone does--
[ "It would be Kadoc." But would he? ]
--that person isn't here.
But I don't think you sound selfish, either. It sounds more like--you were doing what you had to, in order to survive? Sometimes you have to do awful things in the name of making it to the next day. That doesn't make you inherently bad or selfish.
no subject
[ She closed her eyes, pondering on what she'd just said for a moment. ]
I must say, I wouldn't trust any second chance given to me by a god. [A sigh.] They sound like they're using your reality as a playground. They don't care for what Lostbelt wins. They only care to see their toys fight and have fun playing.
[ That was what gods did. She did have a creator after all, and he was her god in a way. He was the one who had created her world. And seeing himself as a superior being, he cared not for what happened to her or anyone beneath him. ]
I guess... That's what I like to believe. But a part of me thinks I am just a monster.
no subject
But I'm not a desperate person, either. I can only speculate--I don't know what it's like to hit a wall and not feel like you have any other choices.
[ She considers for a moment, then reaches out, carefully, to touch Monika's hand. ]
I also know what a monster is like. I really don't think you're anything like that.
no subject
[ She knew that's what she'd want. That was more or less what she had tried to do... Escape her reality and into the player's. That had failed, but the player's presence had helped her hold on. Until he'd betrayed her. Then nothing had remained. ]
Thank you. [A pause.] It feels... More true, to hear someone else say it.
no subject
[ No matter what wild space-folding magic that Da Vinci and the Captain have done to the Shadow Border's interior--she doubts they would've been able to fit even the severely limited population of Scandinavia in it. It's a squeeze even with the reduced crew. ]
But I do believe you're not a monster. And I'll say it as many times as you need to hear it. Trust me--if I'm really a heroine, like you say, I should know my stuff. Right?
no subject
Ahaha! You got a point.
[ Yet again, there is always the episode where someone the heroine thought to be trustworthy backstabs her. Monika opted not to mention this though-- Figuring that she may already have gone through said episode and unwilling to stir bad memories. ]
Make sure Kadoc hear that too, okay? [She smiled weakly.] I don't know what happened in your homeworld... But I see bits of myself in him.
no subject
[ She doesn't really want to give out the details of why Kadoc has such a chip on his shoulder when it comes to her; part of that is because she knows she doesn't entirely understand the context--mage society is still an opaque wall to her, more often than not. She knows intellectually that certain things are bad, and she doesn't approve of the parts she knows about... but that's not the same as living it.
And part of that is that if Kadoc is making friends and learning how to be a proper real human, she doesn't want to be the one who sabotages that, even accidentally. ]
If you know him, you can probably tell he's a stubborn guy. That sort of thing probably is going to need to be an ongoing project.
no subject
[ Maybe that was going a bit far with that plan... But maybe a less drastic version of it would work. Giving him small encouragement that would help him on a regular basis. Something that felt natural. Yes, that would do just well. ]
Unlike me, he doesn't really have the skill to fake it... [She paused.] That's a blessing, maybe. At least we know he needs our attention.
no subject
[ They possibly have different definitions of the word. Or maybe it's just that Ritsuka and Kadoc are still like uneasy cats, circling each other and unsure of the safest way to approach each other is. It's hard to consider a guy adorable when he still bristles at half the things you say, or to be your best self when you're trying to get to know a guy.
But if someone else thinks that about him, she's not going to argue it. ]
But no, you're right. He's best at hiding in plain sight, I guess? If he's upset about something, he's gonna throw it right at you and hope it drives you off.
no subject
[ She didn't know the details of their relationship and she wasn't about to inquire. But seeing the similarities Kadoc had with her, and how Ritsuka was the heroine of her story... It was a safe bet to say Kadoc had once been an antagonist who was now walking the path to redemption.
Tropes and all. Or maybe she's just overthinking it. ]
It's a shame for him driving us off is gonna take more than that, ahaha! [She laughed.] But you know him better than I do... So I trust you know best how to get at him.
no subject
[ She knows what he looks like on the brink of despair; she knows about the bodies he's left in his wake--just the same way he knows about the ones left in hers. She knows the reason that he's so determined to stay alive, in spite of everything that's happened... but she doesn't know anything about his favorite foods, or what media he likes, or any hobbies he might have. Does that really count as knowing someone? ]
...I'm glad he's got a friend like you, though. The more people willing to reach out to him, the better.
