Ostara is a celebration of the Spring Equinox - AKA the first day of Spring. For Aralore, this used to be a large celebration, but in their new land, in the wake of war, Aralore is feeling especially touched by the message of new life and renewal in this Spring season.
To celebrate, a fair is being held in the open area near the Infirmary. Tents have been set up to sell all kinds of seasonal foods-- honey cakes, roast mutton, floral teas, and all kinds of other tasty treats. Other stands sell ribbon garlands and wreaths, and even games are being set up.
There is a special table set up with dozens upon dozens of eggs, donated by people all over the island. Paint and brushes have been provided as well.
A sign with instructions reads: Write your intentions or wishes for this year on an egg (a symbol of fertility, prosperity, and happiness) then bury it in our new garden with a flower seed. Over the coming year, a garden of our hopes and dreams will grow. This garden will provide hope and beauty for patients staying in the Infirmary. (There are also people volunteering to run it in shifts during the day, so feel free to make your character a volunteer).
There is also a fortune teller available! See the Fortune Teller thread for details.
Remember:
1) Each interaction during the party should be its own thread.
2) Party-goers may take part in multiple threads, so long as they do not contradict each other.
3) All threads should include the same overall details about the party itself
4) Have fun!
Facts about the celebration:
- Colorful tents run by people from all over the island are selling treats, trinkets, and letting people play games with small prizes
- Musicians are playing music all day
- The egg table has plenty of eggs for everyone, and you can always paint a symbol of your goal/dream/wish instead of writing it out
- The weather is nice, it's about 60 F, the sun is shining, and only a few fluffy clouds are drifting by
