awooooo

Who: Ylva and assorted CR

What: She's decided to have a small party -- a bonfire -- of her very own before it gets too cold to cook outside.

When: Nebulously mid-October

Where: Elsie's clearing (so graciously donated)


Please feel free to tag me directly or to make toplevels for a mingle. New CR is welcome to crash the party or handwave coming along with someone else (she will not stand on ceremony and possibly does not know that idiom anyway).




Ylva has been thinking. On the one hand, she likes many of the things that are at parties -- food, music, friends -- but on the other, they are very noisy and a little overwhelming, and often (though not always) indoors, and maybe, just maybe, she could make herself a little party. The invitations that get slipped into people's mailboxes are printed with carefully but inexpertly formed letters:

I'm having a bonfire before it gets too cold. Elsie said we could use her clearing. Bring things to eat and cook if you want!

On the day of, the wood is gathered and piled high before being set aflame. The food set out is largely simple fare -- bread, cheese, roasted meat, some small cookies and sweets -- but it's the sort of food that fills and warms you on an autumn evening in the woods. There are even some sharpened sticks ready if someone brought sausages (the risk of hot dogs has not occurred to her). It's a camping sort of evening.

Ylva is almost shy, hostess or not, and looks almost startled when someone addresses her, as though this were not a completely normal thing to do. She does try to mingle, though, and is easily flagged down for a conversation.

"Looking at things through the lens of deserving is self-flagellating bullshit. No one here knows who you are, what you've done, what you deserve. You can show who you want to be through your actions, and that's who people will treat you as."

Sephiroth nods slowly. This place has been a way for him to start finding himself again ... to see if he actually can be good again now that he is once again sane ... and so far, he has been pleased with the results. It feels liberating, freeing, to be able to make a difference for good once more. At the same time, knowing what he's done, it's difficult for him to ever feel worthy of people thinking he's good, as though he's keeping something from them that they should know.

But he is good now. Perhaps in time, he will be able to heal more and better put his demons behind him.

"You have a point," he says. "Thank you for your counsel."

Zack nuzzles him. He definitely thinks Sephiroth is wonderful.
