Hey everyone, happy Summer Solstice!

Yeah, I checked, and it turns out this is the longest day of the year here in Lunatia. They, uh, don't seem to celebrate it, though. Kinda strange, back home it was a pretty big deal. There was a big feast, planting seeds and starting gardens... oh, the flower crowns! Everybody got at least one. Some people had trouble wearing all the ones they had.

Also I think stuff with alcohol and... well, that stuff my Dad would have killed me for getting involved with, so nevermind.

Anyway, any of you guys have celebrations like that? And Riku, Sora, we've got to at least get some crowns made before the day's over!

[What Kairi isn't saying is, the Summer Solstice is also her birthday, or at least the day they've celebrated it since she arrived on the islands. But hey, she won't make a big deal out of that, and the only ones who know are her boys.]

In a few weeks it will be Tanabata; which is a festival about romance and wishes, but a lot of other things get folded into it. It's nice...

[princessascended]

Can't say I've ever heard of that. Valentine's Day's pretty similar, but that's in winter. Not that we ever had much of a winter on the islands.

[fridgeninja]

It's a lot more formal and ceremonial than Valentine's Day. A festival, not just something for couples.

[princessascended]

Huh. Doesn't that kind of fly in the face of the whole romance thing? I mean, that's about as personal a subject as you can get.

[fridgeninja]

I see what you mean, but no. It's an excuse for formal dress, and festival games, and staying out all evening with the people you're close to. There are fireworks...

[princessascended]

I mean that definitely sounds like a fun time! I just don't see the romance.

Then again, what do I know? I never actually got into a relationship until I got here.
