For those coven members who come from worlds with Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, etc., they'll likely recognize Sunsu as a version of similar holidays. While there aren't any religious over or under tones, there's snow falling, a high level of merriment and cheer all around. That isn't to say Sunsu isn't without a bit of meaning and lore. Certain stalls are focused on a minor history of Sunsu, a holiday stemming from the story of two lovers, Princess Xin and one of her ladies in waiting, who proved to the Princess' father that their love was worthy of marriage by blessing each other with a fabulous gift. Depending on your taste and place in life, Sunsu can be more romantic or more family-based. Sunsu is marketed as a holiday that focuses on blessing and giving to those that you cherish in life, and receiving a blessing or gift symbolizes uniting people together forever. Because of this meaning, there is a certain romanticized overtone to Sunsu, though of course others celebrate in their own way. It's a holiday of togetherness, and everyone in Shehui seems to be in on the holiday spirit. There aren't as many monitors around, the streets around Anmung tower are packed with families, newcomers and couples alike. Are you ready to get into the spirit of the season?
B ▢ Other volunteers are lucky enough to be stuck in stalls where there are at least chairs. Almost anything and everything is being sold in Shehui, and it's your job to push whatever goods you're being hired to peddle. The good news. You get 10-20% commission! The weirder or more ridiculous the item, the higher your commission! C ▢ Others may not even be working. You've been exceptionally naughty and decided to skip out on your Sunsu shopping until the last minute! Whether you're looking for a last minute gift for your Secret Sunsu recipients, or you're being a horrible friend and neglecting those you love until literally the last day, you've still got time to get some gifts! |
As the day goes on, more and more festival decorations are going up -- which this may also be a job you've been roped into! With the sun falling steadily in the sky, the true beauty of Shehui can be seen as night creeps in. As per the request of the lottery winner, almost every structure in Shehui around the Anmung tower, including the famed structure, is illuminated with brilliant, twinkling lights in gold and red colors. Some areas are lit by different colors, like the nearby Huhu Coffee House that's building is wrapped in green lights, while Xi Park is filled with a soft pink variety on trees and fountains. Streamers and banners are hung everywhere, with some offering simple seasons greetings, while others are making passers by aware of sales and wares to be sold.
E ▢ Sunsu is a festival, and what's a festival without drinking? Drinking is actually a pastime that is popular at Sunsu, with local signboards discussing the historical significance of drinking in Shehui a long time ago. (If you're inclined to notice, all historical signboards have a sort of whimsical vagueness about them, as if they're discussing a myth or legend, not actual history). There are three types of traditional alcohol in Shehui that are made on Sunsu. One, a red concoction that is strong, reminiscent of a type of vodka. Two, a clear liquid that has a distinctly almond taste; akin to beer but with no fizz. Three, a pink, champagne-lite that is comparable to a wine cooler -- for you kids and lightweights out there. These drinks are also essentially handed out with very few stalls requiring you pay for them. Some stalls are extremely beer-focused, even promoting drinking contests with cash and gift prizes! F ▢ While not completely close to Anmung tower, Chips! is running a special promotion tonight! All games that aren't table gambling are completely free! If you're an introvert who just wants to DDR the night away, you're welcome to spend your night here, as pathetic as it may be. You're also welcome to escape the Anmung crowds, only to find yourself in a different type of mob inside Chips! -- it's better with a friend, though! G ▢ Closer to the base of Anmung tower, a festival game is taking place. Called XiXi, this game involves receiving a red envelope and finding a person who fits the criteria within that envelope. When you do, take the person to a table and receive a credit prize of 500 and a small basket of pastries and fruit. It's popular with children, but adults are allowed to get in on the fun too -- a lot of people treat it like a mixer. There's also no limit to how many times you can complete the challenge, as long as you don't use the same person twice! These criteria can be physical traits, more embarrassing personal qualifications...anything you can OOCly think of! |
At midnight, the Sunsu event is supposed to culminate in a fireworks show -- and it does! To commemorate the day being over, fireworks of many different colors are being displayed all across Shehui, further illuminating the evening. It's almost as if it's truly daylight again, between the fireworks and Anmung tower.
I ▢ This doesn't last forever, though. About 15 minutes into the show, there's a disruption in the typical fireworks booming, instead replaced with a very large and ominous bang. These explosion sounds continue until there's a decidedly larger explosion sound that appears and feels a lot closer than the others. While there aren't any signs of fire or debris, the Sunsu festival is thrown into chaos. People are running, stores are closing immediately, and inner city speakers are announcing an emergency and for all residents to return to their homes immediately with escorts available if necessary. It's impossible to see what the source of the sound is here, but it's obviously abnormal. Will you help people in the panic? Where are those friends you've spent so much of the night with? What is going on? J ▢ Wildcard! Have another idea for a prompt? Try it out and tag around! |
sorry for the lateness, I hadn't had a single day off this last month ;_;
Perfect! Hold that look-
[ Click ]
Ah, that's some lighting!! You look great!
[ He has a model's glare, that's for sure, and he quickly rushes over to show him. ]
Ever thought about doing this professionally? You could make a lot of money, you know!
it's all good! and what a lovely image q_q
It's surreal to look at himself in such a tiny box; however, the novelty of it appeals to him. (Besides, how does someone do this professionally? Just stand there? Sounds boring.) ]
I'm not interested in doing something like that, but this . . . it's different. How is it done?
hehe I couldn't resist!
Oh, come on, it's fun and easy! You model- you know, just pose nicely, let your pictures be taken, and let the cameraperson work their magic! Photos are important, they keep memories after all!
[ He brightens at his own words. ]
Then you can get them published, and people pay to look at you! Sometimes you can sell things just by having them pictured with a nice looking model! You know, like cars, watches, heck, my buddy was in an ad for a fishing rod once but he kept hiding it from me-
[ A pause- ]
Oh, uh, name's Prompto... just... in case you forgot, ahah!
no subject
No, there's something else that piques his interest. ]
I'm Eizen. What kind of fishing rod did your friend sell?
no subject
Oh, he didn't sell them!! No no, just modeled. Here, look!
[ This time, he pulls out his old phone, which has one of the Durik Gear ads that Noctis (low key) had a modeling stint in. Of course, no one knew it was the Crown Prince, heh. ]
This one's just the fishing gear. The rods were all different models and kinds, with all these reels he liked collecting for them. Promote the brand, promote the product and get more people buying. He looked so good with the gear, they likely had some pretty good sales. At least, I'd figure. I'm no fisher, but he is!
[ He just takes pictures. ]
But he caught this huge impossible fish once. It was so big, it took the four of us to get it out! You like it too? Fishing, that is.
no subject
Yeah. There's nothing really like it. Fishing is a meditative art that promotes self-control, rewarding one's discipline with marine spoils. To catch something so big, your friend must be a truly fine fisher.
no subject
Huh. Meditative and self-control? Noct just makes us stand around waiting until he catches his big catch, and then I take lots of pictures, or he sulks!
[ How many times has Noctis turned around and grumped because Prompto decided to check his zell tree in King's Knight... ]
Bet you and him would get along great, then. I got him a new rod for St- Sunsu. Has a nice tracker and everything when he's close to a good catch! Say, maybe I could introduce you both. He's a cool guy. If you wanted a fishing buddy and all...
no subject
I don't know if I'll be fishing while I'm here, but I wouldn't be opposed. It's been a while since I've spoken with someone who truly appreciates the art.
[ Velvet was such a buzzkill about it. ]
no subject
Then, I gotta introduce you! Like, real soon, too!
[ He smiles. ]
He kind of crashes on my bed lately since he's rooming with two girls, but we're usually out before anyone else gets bothered... ahah. What do you do besides fishing then, anyway?
no subject
He crosses his arms. ]
I'm a sailor. Traveling is in my blood.
