I don’t really know how Wtoryteller Saturday works. Can I ask questions about whatever? If so, what was the Valentine’s Day work about?
Happy STS :3 YEP! You can ask anything to do with characters and worldbuilding and stories or anything remotelt related
Hi! I ended up not getting far into it but I was writing about a festival where Anemoians watch dragons do mating dances and the such! The mating dances involve dragons breathing fire and reflecting lightning and firelight off their wings. I ended up yapping about it mostly to my co-writer Curt about all the different interactions the ocs would have
How Cassius would beg Fluvy jr to go and he'd act hesitant but would actually be hyped to go see the dragons storm-burning. He usually hates festivals but this one doesn't have baggage attached to it, so Fluvy enjoys this one.
How the 'Grigora' aka the group of sex workers who kind of have a small half-hearded union going on- how they'd huddle up together for a while to watch since they dont get many clients durring this festival, but will get paid well in the following celebrations when people go back into the city.
They disperse eventually and Lucius ends up hanging out with Niomi (a fellow sex worker) and Layton. August would hang out with Quinn and eventually Kapplan and Pierce most of the night.
Taifun, Fluvys mom would be with her casual date at the time, Declan. (Shes a widow looking to get back into a serious relationship)
And Ilonia, Fluvys younger sister would be with Isaac, Cassius' twin brother.
Elise, the youngest of Fluvys siblings, would be with Owen surely
Heres what I managed to get down
Even the most nihilistic of young men slunk out of the city walls to gaze upon the show. People found their places in small tents and shelters and rocky nooks where they could prop umbrellas, putting towels and old blankets down for seats and huddling in their cloaks.
February was the month of the Pinnae storm burning.
All Anemoians knew this dance-knew all the myths and stories about the dragons.
The Pinnae breathed flares and flashed their reflective wings in the storm, lighting the sky in lightning and fire. Most years this lit the sky up for a few days in the coldest months.
Couples would share their body heat to ward off the wind, tucked against each other as they watched the show nature gifted to the Anemoians.
Fluvius jr and Cassius usually didn't participate in the usual Anemoian festivals and celebrations anymore. Fluvy was once a dancer, excited to perform for every festival and impress his family and tutor. For years now he had avoided them completely, putting on a show of how the festivals were for kids and for adults, only good for getting drunk. There was an air of apathy about him before he got unreasonably upset.
This though… the Storm Burning had always been something
Fluvius sighed and kicked his feet, but ultimately relented when Cassius begged him to take him for a date. Fluvy said that he would get everything taken care of, and for Cas not to worry his pretty little head.
Cas would shrug and assume Fluvy would have his mother deal with renting a tent and a spot for the night.
When they headed out Cas couldn't help but notice a little twinkle in his boyfriends eyes and the slight bounce to his step. He was antsy and held Cas by the hip, a small uncommon smile on his face while they walked. His eyes stayed on the sky, focused in on the clouds and each flash in case he were to miss a single dragon.
