Week 38 | Monday | text;
The Spring Equinox is coming up
And the city is getting ready for preparations
I am turning 100 years old this Equinox
Which is an important birthday
At least for spirits
I think
I don't know much about birthday celebrations
And the city looks like it will be having its own big party (???)
So I was wondering if anyone would like to
Hang out with me during the equinox?
For a little while maybe
If it is not too much trouble!!

[Atticus is actually a little worried about this upcoming festival. It would only be right to honor Brighid but... well... for one thing he's supposed to be dead as far as she's concerned. He's not entirely sure how that works when he's on another planet but he's not entirely sure he wants to find out.
For another thing the Equinox would be the perfect time for a magic boost that would let him connect to Tir Na nOg. After what happened last time he used a lot of his power, well, he's not so sure that's a good idea. Of course there's no time issues this time but still...]
I'm going to be uh... pretty busy for part of the day. But if you wanted a place in town to throw a little birthday bash you're welcome to use my place.

Are you going to be celebrating, um... Alban Eilir? [ and he totally messed up that pronunciation sorry atticus HE TRIED. ] And I don't know how to throw a party, but if people are going to keep me company on my birthday I should have one, ne?
[ sounds so unsure and awkward because he's never done this sort of thing before. sob. ]
Do you know what people do for parties, Mr... Druid Atticus O'Sullivan?
[voice - private]
If you want to have people over for your birthday then you should definitely have a party. What kind of party is the big question though. [Though somehow he thinks that Akito is the type to have a small private type gathering.] Maybe we can set up a picnic table somewhere and just...hang out and tell stories, eat good food. Story-telling is kind of a tradition for the spring equinox in a lot of cultures.
[voice - private]
A picnic? That sounds good..! [ he's seen people have them many times, but hasn't had one himself before.
unless having one on your own and playing pretend counts.] What kind of food is good food? I've only ever eaten the stuff people throw out.[voice - private]
Thrown out!? What do you mean thrown out?! Akito if you tell me spirits go dumpster diving where you're from I- [He's too flabbergasted to even come up with a repercussion.]
[voice - private]
Most of the other spirits have homes and access to fresh ingredients, or they don't need to eat at all and so don't bother.
[voice - private]
Don't bother? [Sorry Akito this is just boggling his mind. Come on, even Flidais had a thing for smoothies.]
Food is the best part of living forever though. [That's not whining. He's a Druid. Druids don't whine. Oberon shut up, stop laughing at him.] I mean I get the whole... wind spirit, not the type to be tethered to one place and all but... gods below, kid you are missing out on the best parts of life!
[voice - private]
I thought that love and sex were supposed to be the best parts of life though.
