Rating: ???

[It took quite a bit of work on short notice, but the castle cemetery has undergone a remarkable transformation this evening. Every grave is decked out in brightly colored flowers, especially marigolds. As night falls, the place will start to glow by candlelight as well. There's a primary table with food laid out, where you can put your potluck dishes, and another small one with some craft supplies. The music playing is upbeat, like it's encouraging you to dance! This is meant to be a happy occasion, after all.]

[SECTIONS: FOODS | CRAFTS / FACE PAINTING | MINGLING | NOV 2 - WANDERERS' YARD. Will be in and out (mostly out) tonight due to work but yeah tag around!]

[She sure should! Aradia notices an unfamiliar person at the table and approaches from the other side, facepainted of course.]

Hi there! See anything you like?

[easily]

I have never seen most of these. [She admits, trying not to look alarmed at the girl's face paint] What is this celebration for?

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia is cheerily oblivious to any alarm on Rebekah's part. :D]

For the dead! Although since nobody stays dead in Paradisa, it's also for people who used to live here and have been sent away.

[easily]

People don't stay dead here?

[psych0p0mps]

No, the castle brings them back to life after two weeks. I haven't experienced it myself, but I hear it's a pretty nasty ordeal.

[easily]

I would imagine so. I doubt coming back from the dead would be pleasurable. I always heard the spirits would not allow for such an imbalance.

[psych0p0mps]

Imbalance?

[easily]

The sort of magic it would take, it would upset nature. The spirits.

[psych0p0mps]

[Hmm. She shrugs and takes a piece of sweetbread.]

It probably does, if nature spirits are a thing here. I wouldn't really know about them.

[easily]

I have not heard anyone mention them, but I would assume they exist since people say the castle itself is magic.
