Pebbles was crouched, talking to Orjan at a whisper, “count to three and then I’ll sneak in first, you come in right after, okay? We don’t need a lookout, we’ll just jump out the window if we’re caught” She had been watching the other Orvuns recently to learn how to sneak up on prey, and now they were going after their first target... kind-of.

“I think he keeps the sweets in his room so we won’t find them.” She rubbed her hands together, anticipating the candy they were about to find. The door was closed, and as she put her hand on the handle, she began to fear what else the two of them might find. 

“Wait, why don’t you go first, so I can watch. You’re better at this.”

Peggy stood to the side, unwilling to really participate in the bustle of the evening. After all, she didn’t want to create too much of a mess... it would be her job to clean it up in the morning.

Eyes scanned the crowd, though, taking in each person. There were many here tonight, she noted, surely the figures were in the hundreds.

“Excuse me, miss,” Peggy mumbled, softly, before moving around her, “I’m here to make sure that all the guests are alright- would you like anything? A drink?” 

Peggy was not about to be caught off slacking, not by anyone, not by Mann himself. She needed the wage tonight brought, so despite wishing to lull about the party, Peggy had gotten her foot out of her arse and kicked herself into some working.

All previous threads are on hold to give way to event threads. I will reblog some starters but am only replying to a maximum of three. If I can take more, then I will, but for now, it is three.

To celebrate the midsummer Urgish peoples come together around the Mother Mountain, linking their arms with each other and dancing joyously. After the dancing, Urgish peoples continue on to a huge feast supplied with rich foods and great Urgish cuisine. 

The feast will then come to an end giving way to the time where individual clans will find their roots and recite their family trees, otherwise known as Juuri. These clans then come together, engaging in friendly competition. The competitions are made up of many different sports; most are to show the immense strength that the clans possess, as they pride their strength.

The sports present in the competitions are as follows:

Hunting: The hunters are let loose for a certain period of time, in which they are to capture the most or the largest amount of game. The one with the heaviest catch within the time limit is considered the victress.

Swordfighting: Showcasing the finesse and skill with one's blade, participants are bracketed into one-on-one duels. This calls back to the method of duelling, which is believed to have limited the bloodshed of full-out clan wars. Endurance is a part of the game, but it is believed that the oneness of mind and body is prized.

Horse Racing: As stated, competitors mount their steeds and run through a pre-set course. The fastest horse wins.

Wrestling: Wrestling is quite a spectacle on Urga--fighters cover themselves in mud or oil, making it difficult to grapple. The winner is determined when she is held down for a certain amount of time or if she taps out.

Falconry: This competition celebrates the relationship between the Urgish nomads and one of their most prominent hunting companions. Falcons are judged for how much food they can gather or the speed of their flight.

Archery (magical and non-magical): Many sporting events involve archery, whether it be on horseback, on foot, with their feet or harnessing magical energy to shoot as an arrow; the main criteria for winning is accuracy.

Transmutation: Wixen cast a transformation spell on the object or creature of their choice and are judged for the integrity of the transformation, their creativity and the duration of the change.

The celebration is the transition between seasons; the shift from Spring to Summer is highlighted by the exchange of ‘responsibility’ between Earthly Elemental Sprites and Fiery Elemental Sprites. 

The celebrations will often echo that of the Sprites who are at the focal point of the celebration. For example, bonfires will be erected by Fire Elemental Sprites all around Treowa, where people come together to dance around them in joyous ritualistic celebration.
