The Winter Festival on Our Albia - Day 5

Elsewhere, in another ship out in the far reaches of space...


From their lush tropical environment, the universe's resident party animals, too, are planning what they might want to do for the Winter Festival this year. Though their ship is always filled with excitable chatter, today appears to be a particularly exciting day!

"Oh, we could make party poppers using some of the flower petals-"

"I think we should come up with some games everyone can play-"

"Check this cool gadget I found a while ago, think I should bring it? I bet everyone would get a kick out of it-"

The Dragonfly Demon Ettins, though they might look a little intimidating with their large wings and mess of green hair, are actually one of the most excitable and friendly groups surfing the stars today. They seem to always be cheery and upbeat, no matter the situation, no matter the trouble that may arise. When things go wrong, the Dragonfly Demon Ettins always seem quick to recover and quicker to find the silver linings of dark clouds.

Cecelia, one of the Dragonfly Demon Ettins going to the Winter Festival this year, ponders what she'd like to do at the Festsival. Rain gently patters against the leaves she's sitting under, and as she thinks to herself, a raindrop slides down the edge of one leaf and plops on her head.

"This is my first time meeting everyone else..."

Last year, Cecelia hadn't been old enough to go out into the world like this. The Dragonfly Demon Ettins only ever sent adults as representatives at the Festival, since they'd rather not have to watch children while partying (though a separate party would be held back home for the Ettins not going to the Winter Festival, naturally).

The parties at home had been a lot of fun each year, but this year, Cecelia could finally go to the one outside of the ship! She'd have to come up with plenty of good stories to tell, for sure...


Taking a break from her pondering, Cecelia stood up and trotted over to the dock, where she found the other Dragonfly Demon Ettin representative, Papaya. This was Papaya's second year going to the Winter Festival. Apparently, he'd had the same idea Cecelia had!

"You're thinkin' of stuff too, huh?" Cecelia waved as she approached him. "The dock is a pretty good thinkin' place."

Papaya laughed. "Yeah! I was thinking we could do this really cool game this year. Listen listen, I've got this awesome plan..."

The two started chatting away, excited and happy to plan for the fun that surely awaited them at the Festival in just a few days.
