[ When the video comes on, a very cheerful looking literal cat-lady will be on screen, holding up a miniature bamboo tree with colourful papers on the branches! ]
This must be the date! Hoy there, everyone! Name's Megumi, Matriarch of the Utakata Tribe! I'm a healer and huntress from the star of Hydaelyn, and it's time for a story!
[ Isn't this fun? Pay attention! She sits up with her ears wiggling enthusiastically. ]
I've heard it differently back in Yanxia on my world, but it seems like there are some people here who have a more romantic version of it! Eorzean Moonfire's just violent when you think about it but at least we wear cute outfits... Anyroad! This one's about a Star Festival!
[ She perks up. ]
The general story I've heard is that there's a Princess, and a Cowherd! The Princess' job is to weave beautiful fabric for her father, the Sky King, but is sad because she never gets to meet anyone because of her work. Her father arranges for her to meet a handsome Cowherd who lives across the river, and they eventually fall in love and marry! But because they're so distracted, they're not performing any of their regular duties, so the Sky King separates them across a river they can't cross. The lovers are in despair! Finally, the Sky King relents, allowing them to meet on the seventh day of the seventh moon, er... month at the river.
But when they reach the river, there's no bridge to cross! How in the hells did the Sky King get the Cowherd there in the first place?! Suppose the bridge plot's there for drama, but, anyroad!
[ She hates plot holes!! But, she puffs her cheeks and continues- ]
The Princess cries so much, that a flock of birds offer to create a bridge so she can visit her husband. And so it's said that when you see a bridge of stars in the heavens on a clear night, on the seventh day of the seventh month, that's the Princess and Cowherd meeting across the star bridge! I don't know how the birds made a star bridge, but they must be bloody amazing birds- But if it rains, they have to wait a year to meet again! That's so depressing!
[ Then, she claps her hands. ]
Anyroad, back home, to commemorate the day, we'd write wishes on these colourful paper strips which you should absolutely make, too! They'd be shaped in different little shapes too, and hung on bamboo branches. So, you should all make a wish too! I think you can go "anonymous" on here, so how about using this little post to make wishes?! Consider it your personal bamboo tree! Here's a little guide, but really, you can wish for anything however you want.
【 tanabata attachment 】
And if you want to make any wishes in person, I've got bamboo trees outside my clinic [ location provided ] and lots of tanzaku! Come by and make a wish!
What sorts of traditions do you have in summer? Tell me about them too! [ She sighs deeply- ] I need something new to write about, so inspire me! Oh, and if you get sick or feel sad, come to my clinic! We'll help!
✨ Matriarch, out!
[ ooc; feel free to threadjack with permission and make anon wishes or just chat! Or un-anon. Have fun! ]

He just has to experience how you took care of me the other sun, is all.
[ COUGH. ]
And my thoughts are pleasant!
Most of the time.
It would be nice if I could dream, though.
What's a romantic tale you know, then?
no subject
There is one I performed the other day in the park about a beautiful yet
somber half-doe/half-beetle.
The story was about his strong, enduring feelings for a sea sponge named Laethia.
Yet she would not respond to him no matter how many times he professed his love.
He still cradled her in his arms and combed her porous surface while whispering of the
future he would cultivate for them and the many children he would fill her with.
no subject

......
When does it get romantic?
This is just sad.
[ Get a fleshlight, she knows what that is! ]
no subject
without asking for anything in return
not the true essence of romance?
I can select another tale if you prefer?
There was the forbidden wooing of the Prismoala, which clung and clung.
At first, such affection was rebuffed, yet slowly but surely,
the maiden came to feel affection for the Prismoala.
They engaged in a very limber type of coitus.
no subject
Love isn't about giving, and giving without being loved back!
That's just misery!
I know some people don't mind it, but that'd just destroy me!
And if someone did that to another person that wasn't a sea sponge,
they'd be called obsessed and crazy!
...
I really need to get you better, healthier romances to read.
These are disturbing.
no subject
I am afraid the romance tales from my own world are slightly less fascinating to study.
There is a tale of a young combatant, hoping to become stronger
in order to earn his place by a noblewoman's side.
And another of young lovers separated by an age old dispute
between their families, yet their feelings persist.
no subject
These Prismals sound like they need therapy.
[ They didn't outright call it therapy back home but she's been here long enough to know about it! ]
Those are slightly better.
Even if I know how those might end.
There's a sad one that's famous in my world.
It's about a dragon and a human maiden that loves him.
It's one of my favourites but I don't like how it ends.
no subject
You will be happy to know that the tales I have read and
heard upon my sojourns into Lyestellus have proven more fruitful.
The dragons have truly embraced the intimacy of two souls in a bond that
is near unbreakable.
no subject
Depressing as all hells!
I get why she asked for it, but it still stinks!
Please tell me none of their stories end like that.
no subject
It is difficult, the love between beings of disparate life cycles.
To watch a cherished one whither and age slowly...
I could not imagine it.
no subject
She gets eaten young here.
Why was she in such a hurry to die and make her beloved spend eternity without her?
If she aged with him, she'd have spent every moment of her life with him.
Why is that a bad thing?
no subject
nor can we claim such a choice made her unhappy.
The world is full of countless mysteries that shall never be unraveled.
no subject
As much as I love the story, I can't accept bringing sadness to someone living.
I suppose that would be difficult for someone like you to understand, though. Maybe that's a good thing.
no subject
I would like to spend my time with them well and create pleasant memories.
no subject
Don't let yourself get eaten by a dragon either.
Or I'll have it shite you out if it does!
I know how to make medicine to give people the runs!
[ Doot doot... ]
no subject
though Sandy would likely "beat you to the punch" as it were.
You need not worry.
[ He seemed to take great pleasure making Old Bruce shit him out last time. ]
no subject
But I'm a catte. I need to.
Why is Sandy interested in anything with punching the shite with you?
no subject
As you see, last summer, we were upon our usual vacation spot in Auguste
Isle when I was consumed by a large shark.
Sandy nobly came to my rescue and goaded the shark into releasing me
through its posterior orifice.
It was the happiest day I have experienced in quite some time.
