Mariposa & Valencia Events
The events were so much fun to write with @miki-7heaven , they might be my favorite parts of the support. The three events featured are in that order Messis (Harvest festival), Feralia (Festival of the dead), Solstitium (Solstice). Main Support.
[Messis]
Mariposa: *Walking around with an ice cream in her hand* Hmmm I wonder who I can- *sees Valencia* Oh! ~ *walks over* Hello there pretty bird~ What brings you here?
Valencia: *Turns around* Oh hey Mari, it is good to see you again. You definitely make the view a lot more radiant. I'm just checking out the area. It has been a while since I've been to a harvest festival.
Mariposa: Oh? I'm glad I could brighten up your day~ *Stands next to her* I hope our festival has made your trip here worth it~ I hope you didn't come here with a date because I'd love to show you around myself~
Valencia: It has been fun so far, my siblings insisted on coming to the harvest festival, so I've got them to thank. Oh how I wish I had a date with me, but if I knew you'd show me around, I'm glad I didn't bring one with me.
Mariposa: Oh, you have siblings? *looking around* Are you the youngest? *looks back at her with a smile* Any protective ones I should worry about? ~
Valencia: I have three younger siblings and no overprotective ones to worry about. A blessing I must say. If anything if I had older siblings I'd have to be worried about them stealing you from me. I've come to like your presence. *Flashes a small smile*
Mariposa: *Gives out a playful gasp* Oh my~ how forward~ *thinking* But you know, it must be great having your family with you. Especially one as big as yours... Makes me think of my own.
Valencia: So I've been told~ A big family can be hectic, I'm just glad two out of three are well behaved, and I'm not going to even mention the third. But what about you? What's your family like?
Mariposa: *chuckles* Well I never have to worry about behavior~ ... except for maybe grandpa~ My mom's side are nomads by tradition, so they are very free-spirited~ My papa though, he was always sterner but still loving...
Valencia: Oh, I didn't know you were a nomad. *Flashes a sympathetic smile.* The most strict people tend to be the most loving or so I've been told.
Mariposa: Oh I'm not! I like to stay in one place, kinda why I didn't go with my parents when they left... And as for the strict thing... *frowns a bit* I don't know if that's true, but I know my dad was more loving before he was stern. Old habits I guys, he was in the military after all. He and my grandma are the ones who taught me how to fight after all.
Valencia: That does make things quite difficult. Your dad and mine are quite the worlds apart. Mine was often called the mother since he wasn't exactly a traditional father type. Oh, so those two are the ones who I have to thank for that riveting match we had quite a while back. I've never been hit with as much electricity in my life.
Mariposa: *smirks* yep~ It runs in my grandma's family~ Women with her blood have high magic ability, so much so we can even use it without a tome~ oh but enough of that, how about I steal you away for a dance at the plaza~
Valencia: *In awe* That's amazing. Well, I'm not much of a dancer, but a dance does sound fun. Let's go. *Holds her hand as they walk to the plaza.*
[Feralia]
Mariposa: *Helping a family with their grieving ceremony* She was a good person. She would be so proud that you have made it this far.
Family: Thank you, Madam. You've given us so much. *sobs, sniffles*
Mariposa: *Nods then sees Valencia* Oh excuse me for a moment. *leaves and goes up to Valencia.*
Valencia: Oh Mari it's nice to see you again. I always look forward to our encounters. So how have you been?
Mariposa: I've been well, was just helping some friends. *looks at her worried* Is everything well with you? Your siblings still with us?...
Valencia: Yeah everything's fine. *Shifts eyes* I'm here for Mother and Pa- I mean Father. Sometimes I wonder where they buried Mother. I didn't stick around long enough to see or even if they buried her at all.
Mariposa: *Confused* Why won't they bury her?
Valencia: She could have been cremated for all I know. But if she were I wouldn't know where her ashes are either.
Mariposa: *confused* What happened to your parents that would cause you to not how they were serviced?
Valencia: *Pained look crosses her face quickly.* It's a long story, but Father is buried in Kilvas after his execution, as for Mother there were bad men, and she didn't make it. I got my siblings out of there after help came but we didn't stay long and ran off. That's why I no longer know where she is or how she was serviced. That's the summary of it.
Mariposa: *Looks hurt* Oh... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to bring up bad memories, though I'm sure no matter where she is... She hears your prayers for her. *holds her*
Valencia: *Smiles* Don't worry it's all fine. I'll take your word to heart. I'm sure mother and father will enjoy the festivities once it hits midnight. I'm content with how things are despite some troubles. And maybe I wouldn't have met you had I not ran away. You're becoming a dear friend to me.
Mariposa: *smiles back* I'm glad I can be a friend to you, you're becoming someone I care for as well. Though for now, I must go, my friends need me. I wish you a peaceful service. *bows*
Valencia: *Waves* See you, Mari, I'll be here if you're looking for me. I'm going to have a long chat with my parents.
Mariposa: Until then. *leaves*
[Solstitium]
Mariposa: *Waiting outside* "Come on now Valencia~ We need to get going or we'll miss all the fun!"
Valencia: Sorry to keep you waiting. I had difficulties with wearing this outfit. My wing kept getting stuck.
Mariposa: *smirks* I told you to let me help~ *runs her fingers up her back* It would have been my pleasure~
Valencia: *Twitches a little* Trust me if I let you we would've been even more late. You really like to take your time.
Mariposa: *shrugs a little* What can I say~ I love to make sure everything is... *whispers* Satisfied~ *backs away then walks down her steps* But enough of that. Let's go! ~
Valencia: *Blushes and looks away for a second* Alright I'm coming. No need to wait up, I can catch up fast.
Mariposa: Well I can't do that~ It would be impolite. *waits for her at the bottom of the stairs* So tell me, do you know the tales of this festival?
Valencia: *Catches up* You're quite the gentleman, Mari. I'm not very well versed since this is my first time, but I do know there's stargazing and weaving.
Mariposa: *chuckles* I think you mean gentlewoman~ and yes there's that. But the biggest tradition, at least for my family, as the process of weaving flowers for a wish~
Valencia: A wish? What might the wish be for? Eternal beauty, wealth, or long life?
Mariposa: For romantic success~ *looks at her and winks*
Valencia: I'm sure you'll get your lucky girl or guy. *Grumbles* Not like I'll have a chance.
Mariposa: Huh? *looks at her, confused* I don't think I quite caught that.
Valencia: *Stammers* L-let's just get going already. *Starts walking at a brisk pace holding Mariposa's hand.*
Mariposa:? *follows her but then retakes the lead* This way Valencia~ So would you like to do the weaving with me? It's best doing it with a partner~
Valencia: I'd love to but won't I get in the way? My wings might blow the flowers away when I move.
Mariposa: You in the way? No way! *pulls her to a weaving workshop on the festival grounds* Now pick two flowers you like~
Valencia: Okay how about these two flowers. *Mumbles* It's just as beautiful as-. I mean the colors are exquisite.
Mariposa: *raises an eyebrow and nods* And I'll use these~ *shows her a black rose and bundle of daisies* Alright let's do this! It will be the best wreath of the night! ~
Valencia: With your skills, I'm sure it'll be. Let's get started.
Mariposa: *they start weaving, looks at Valencia* So who do you hope to succeed with? ~
Valencia: There are so many lovely people it'll be hard to choose, but I think I might have one in mind. What about you, do you have anyone in mind?
Mariposa: *nods* Oh I do, that's why I need this wreath. Got to get every advantage I can~ After all, she's not something I want to lose... *blushes*
Valencia: Mari...You hopeless romantic, I'm sure she'll be happy knowing you were thinking of her and that you are trying your best for her. I'm more surprised you aren't taken already seeing how amazing you are.
Mariposa: *chuckles* Well, it may surprise you, but I actually get nervous too when it comes sincere love~ But I think with this wreath will do the trick. *smiles and finishes the wreath with her*
Valencia: Love can be really nerve-wracking, I can't blame you. But now it's time to let the wreath float. Let's hope for a successful romance.
Mariposa: *nods and they go and release the wreath together* Well there it goes~ Hopefully, the goddess and her stars hear our wishes and grant them.
Valencia: I'm sure it'll work out. *Notices something stuck on her feathers* Hey we forgot a black rose. No wonder we couldn't see it. It'll be a waste if it isn't on something or someone beautiful. Hopefully, it sticks on your ear, Mariposa.
Mariposa: *blushes then smiles, a little flustered* Th-Thank you. *takes it* Well let's go check out the stars, alright? ~
Valencia: No problem. *Sits down with Mariposa.* This takes me back. I would spread my wing as so and wrap it around someone dear as we watch the stars together. You know Mari, I found my reason to stay.
Mariposa: *looks at her* Oh? And what is that reason? ~
Valencia: I wanted to tease you. I'm not saying, but I thought you should know. I'll tell you when you're older.
Mariposa: *pouts* How mean! ~ Come on, tell me! ~
