Seasonal Event: Oktoberfest

WHO: You
WHEN: October/November
WHAT: It’s that time of year, Fall is in the air, the trees are changing, and Gazin is celebrating Harvest! Below you will find celebrations and prompts for your consideration.
WHERE: Gazin
WARNINGS: None

Catfe Gerdri
A small cafe opened its doors onto its friendly little street. Inside it was selling hot drinks with funny names to make its clientele laugh for the season. There were pumpkin drinks and apple drinks, drinks made with coffee, drinks made with tea but the real draw was its cats. There were cats of all sizes and all needed to be pet and loved on. They were even autumn colours; creams and whites, gingers and deep browns. Some of them were up for adoption and had little red collars on with little golden bells. They looked fancy and neat and ready to travel.

In the cool autumn air, come in for a hot drink, meet fellow travellers, and stay for the fabulous company of Mrs Gerdri’s cats. If you’re looking for a job, the cat lady herself is hiring! Must love cats.

Harvest Festival
Gather around! It’s that time of year of harvest and merriment that no other season can do just right! It’s the Harvest Festival in Gazin, of course! There’s games and prizes to be won, music and laughter, magic to be seen, and all sorts of harvest foods to be had. Try some cake, have some bread, make something magical for a friend!

Whatever you choose, leave room for dancing because Gazin sure goes all out with spectacle and music and their finest of beers. There’s something for everyone at the Harvest Festival, which will run for six weeks before it’s done.

Gazin’s Shield Day
Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian, Xue Yang, Wen Kexing, Zhou Zishu, Merlan O’Keefe and many other locals have been busy for quite some time working on a citywide shielding project for Gazin. On this day, they’re making it official with the revealing of the project in its final state. It’s enough of an accomplishment that it’s become a bonafide celebration in itself. There will be a magic fireworks display as well as festivities. With so many talented magic users in on this feat, its success is assured.

Monsters beware, Gazin is now officially protected!

He always prefers company to being alone so he will welcome Xue Yang's companionship when it comes to returning to the shop. He feels the little creature in his lap start to stir. Apparently he has finished with his task and the little cat has decided it needs to stretch its legs. The cat jumps down and wanders off, which has Xingchen turning towards the table more fully so that he can place his hands around the warmth of the cup of what remains of his tea.

"Is there anything else new you have noticed around town?"

"Aww..." he murmurs as the handsome feline stretches and leaves Xingchen's lap. Xue Yang reaches out to check and make sure Xingchen's hands are warm enough. And if they're colder than he'd like, he'll try and warm them up!

"There's a new shield around Gazin. Now monsters will have a much harder time getting in. Our home is still nicely protected by Merlan, now the villagers can enjoy similar protection - isn't that great, A-Chen?" Back in Yi City...he'd probably sound mocking, or sarcastic. Here? Now?

There's genuine satisfaction in his voice. He'd helped with said shield, after all.

He lets the other warm his hands. He can't help but feel the slight change of the weather and knows that things are going to get colder much faster. He doesn't mind the colder weather especially since it is so much easier to get warm then it would be back home.

"That is wonderful to hear. Everyone deserves to be able to live without fear."

And the villagers have always been so welcoming to them all. They deserve to be protected above anything else.
