revivalproject | [Event Mingle] Great Full Day!

At last it is here, the day An Nu and Ga Re told you about has arrived. While the last few days may have been a bit of a trial with the whole replicator going a bit wonky thing, but that’s no reason not to celebrate, right? Right! Good thing too, because the Whale Comb Sent Her is absolutely awash with what must be seasonal good cheer. The whole outside of the building is wrapped in vines, though thankfully this time they seem to be made primarily of a thick sort of cloth, and the fall colors to them are also painted on. There’s no doubt that the decorations come from your friendly Agrii either, because apparently they feel that pink and purple are also very valid color choices for fall foliage, so enjoy those splashes of color too.

Inside the decorations continue, the fabric vines ringing the room at a height that would clearly be natural for the Agrii. Amid them are painted cloth banners announcing things like WHALE COMB and EAT MUCH and GREAT FULL and of course the ever present THANK YOU. Around all of these are cloth and paper pictures that wouldn’t look out of place in an elementary school classroom around Thanksgiving. You’ve got your handprint animals, foam shape plants, and vividly painted pictures of tables full of food with Agrii around it as a group. And sometimes in those last ones there are little drawings that… wait, He Row, is that you? Well, they did say you were celebrating together, so maybe that’s what they meant.

But of course people didn’t just come here for the wonderful decorations. You’re here for the food, for the feast, for the togetherness. Good news is that the Agrii have you covered on that as well. A series of tables have been set up in the Sent Her, much like when He Rows first arrived on Agra-10. Along one wall is a long series of tables covered with pink and purple cloths, and over the majority of these are the foods the Agrii have sent down. There are platters of hamburgers (which taste like peanut butter), and plates of peanut butter sandwiches (which also taste like peanut butter). There are pies that look like they’re apple and taste like iced tea. There are more ‘traditional’ things too, which are things like green bean casseroles, vegetable lasagnas, and even some seventeen layer dip to go with all of the chips. There’s apparently no meat though. Not from the Agrii at least.

The even better news is that this isn’t all there is. A whole two tables of space have been left open for the He Rows to bring their own food offerings, or the results of their replicator experiences. The Agrii have been kind enough to leave out plenty of extra plates and serving utensils as well, so no one should worry about there not being enough. And hopefully what your fellows have brought is very tasty. Or came out in a reasonable size or volume from the replicator.

Then there are the tables laid out in the middle of the room. They are round things with only a few seats at each, and there are name tags? Apparently the Agrii thought they might help you get to know each other this Great Full with random seating. Hope your table mate is fun. At each space there is also a little cloth baggie of… oh wow, is that candy? Yes it is! Those sweets are going to be a great reward for after dinner. Or during it. And surely there’s nothing strange that comes from eating them at all.

Finally, there’s even something for those whose entertainment isn’t to be found in eating. The Agrii have been studying their He Rows for a while now, and they know what you need. One side of the room is dedicated to other forms of entertainment. There’s a big poster drawn of what looks to be a glownie, but lacking a tail. Ah but don’t worry, there are tails made of cloth in a bowl nearby for He Rows to restore to the paper glownie. Don’t worry about injury to the paper glownie, it’s all done with magnets! For those who aren’t about tail pinning there are other fun things to be done. There’s a karaoke machine in the corner, clearly the Agrii remember how much fun that was. Wait… Is that the exact one that He Row Billy loaned to the Deep End? Apparently so. And last but far from least is the most important of celebration games: a booth with a stack of personal peanut butter pies and a sign saying ‘Eat Fast Count Is!’ Which probably means eating contests for those brave enough to face that much peanut butter.

FAQ
Do we need to make our own logs for this?
No. You’re welcome to use this post to make Top Levels for this mingle. Get out there and enjoy your celebration together.

We’re not obligated to that randomized seating are we?
Nope! We just felt it could be a handy way to explain mingling with other He Rows you might not normally talk to.

What if our character would bring food?
Our best suggestion is to note that in your TLs. Who knows, maybe your creativity with cooking or the silliness of your offering (or the results of a poor replicator situation) could be fun for others to enjoy.

Can we still use the replicator here and now?
Absolutely. If that sort of chaos is what you want to have fun with, then have at it. Besides people here can probably help you eat your way through any food you get.

That candy seems sorta suspicious. What’s up with that?
Great question. Each baggie will have a random assortment of little gummy candies that are shaped like Agrii heads, complete with three eyes, smile, and little teeth. Each one even has their own unique flavor. And their own unique side effects.

Yellow - Maple Flavored - Makes eater more energetic and friendly
Green - Sour Apple Flavored - Makes eater feels mischievous and is more likely to play pranks and tell jokes
Blue - Dark Lager Flavored - Makes eater tell the truth for half an hour (is not actually alcoholic
Purple - Chocolate Flavored - Makes eater very affectionate or romantically inclined
Red - Cinnamon Flavored - Makes eater easily angered or quick to challenge other people

"Learning new things and growing is a thing one should do all their lives, even if they only learn small things. And I imagine you could teach me very large things."

Space, that people had won their own way among the stars in his world, was a wonder to her.

"Yeah. As long as you are still learning, you are still growing as a person. Even if you never see a desert, you would still know something about them. I'd be happy to teach you what I can."

Space might get complicated, but he'd still try if she wanted to learn.

And growth as a person was important. Rosethorn used to say that. That sometimes people tried to treat themselves like stone, something already formed and incapable of being shaped. But even adults keep growing, keep changing, even if the pace slows.

“I will happily listen, and meanwhile we will keep your hands busy with teaching them how to spin without your mind thinking about it.”

Shiro had definitely learned that after so long being in space. He had learned so much that he had never suspected existed.

He nodded. "Sounds like a perfect plan. We will learn together."

"And I do so love that idea. It is the best way to pass the winter. With friends, and learning, and projects."

It might feel a bit like home, and that made her feel better. She hated being alone in the winter, more than anything else.

"Then we will have to figure a day to do that. I'll bring all my desert knowledge if you bring your spinning knowledge."

He was find more and more that he didn't like being alone. Being stuck inside the Black Lion had pretty much fixed that.

"It is a promise," she laughs in delight. She likes this quite a bit, a plan for them to spend time together.

"I hate how quiet my space is when Little Bear isn't making a mess anyway."

"Yeah... it's strange how quiet this place is. I was used to being on a ship with a lot of others. Now everyone is so spread out here."

Reminded him of being stuck in the Black Lion's head... except that he could actually leave and find someone if he needed to.

Yes, they are spread out. Sure, Lark was used to Discipline Cottage being away from other people, but she still knew plenty of noise back home.

"It seems we've many private people here."

"Seems like it. There are a lot more who keep to themselves. Or maybe I'm just used to everyone being around each other all the time. First at the Garrison. Then with Voltron."

"I suppose the world is much the same for me. Though the kids mostly left the cottage a while ago," she said, a bit sad.

"I guess that was the good thing with the Garrison... there were always kids that wanted to try and do something great so there were also students, myself included at one point. So it rarely quiet. But, I can definitely understand."

"The Circle Temple had many apprentices and novices, there was always noise to be had when one sought it out," she admitted with a smile. "The kitchens alone were quite full of din."

"Makes sense. Usually where students are concerned, there would be a lot of noise." He chuckled faintly. "Yeah, I would imagine the kitchens would be quite hectic."

"I expect our students are a bit more... composed than some others, as many are either nobility sent to the Temple for fosterage in certain important skills and understanding of the people, or they are apprentices to a religious order."

And so tomfoolery was not often tolerated, and was quickly dealt with

"Ah, I see. Yeah. One would hope that they were a bit more well behaved than others. Not always the case, but more likely."

"Anyone who thinks Temple students aren't capable of their own mischief has happened to forget that young people will, at their core, still be young. And pushing boundaries is part of growing."

And what is so wrong with that?

"That is definitely the case. It's a problem that we have at the Garrison, given that the students are all teen and pre-teens. I mean, technically Pidge, Hunk, and Lance had snuck out the night I met up with them again."

"I presume there's less adults than young adults at your Garrison," she says with a thought. That wasn't as true at a Temple.

"Well... there are a lot of adults, but many don't deal with the students. There were a lot of other positions in the organization."

Wait, adults that don't deal with the students, even though the students outnumber them?

"It seems like a poorly arranged school if the adults present aren't there to assist the youths."
