[font=trebuchet ms]Almost two months after the fact, it was finally time.
The invitations had been delivered to all the groups that were going to receive one. The major streets were decked out in strings of small yellow lights, with the batteries tucked out of sight. The dock, on the other hand, was left unlit- the lack of light pollution allowing the stars to shine brightly. Though Rin wasn't feeling up to looking at them tonight, she was sure some of the festival-goers would appreciate the view.
Tables had been set up in the lit streets, loaded with fallen prey, fruit, vegetables, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and a few cooked dishes. Rin cautiously lifted two small pitchers of apple cider onto the end of the table closest to the dock, then sat down and shut her eyes, letting her mind recover from the sudden telekinetic strain. As the dizziness wore off, she turned to glance down the street. She could see a few creatures she didn't recognize approaching, smelling of other groups.
Jumping onto the table, careful not to knock anything over, Rin looked over the setup and nodded. "Alright, everyone," she called out. "To the visitors- welcome to Elysium. I hope you enjoy your time here." Tugging at her scarf, she went on, "Tonight is the opening of the Stellar Collision Festival- feel free to grab something to eat, chat, watch the stars. Over the next few nights we're going to do a constellation search, bonfires, storytelling, contests, fireworks- all to celebrate Elysium's history."
Taking a cup of cider- that she had made sure came from the non-alcoholic pitcher, as opposed to the alcoholic one- she lifted it into the air, and declared, "To Elysium! Let's make this festival one to remember."
