[MINGLE] Saints & Sinners Masquerade

WHERE: Corn field next to the inn
WHEN: 31 October, all day and night
OPEN TO: ALL - MINGLE
WARNINGS: Please warn as appropriate in your subject lines
NOTES: Please make sure you have read and understand the event details! If you have questions, drop them here. RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED: Put your SCRUBS COLOR in your OTA subject line for folks doing bingo. Time your OTA for the harvest feast, the masquerade, or both. Costume matches and details for folks who did not get matched are here.

This morning, our intrepid villagers awoke to a surprise of the nicer kind: A bundle of clothing left at the foot of their bed, tied with a bow. There is also a note: Put on your new outfit and join the festivities in the corn field next to the inn.

You may be thinking, what corn field next to the inn? The one that sprung up fully-mature overnight, of course.

In the middle of the field, villagers will find an autumn feast: Tables piled with harvest time food and drink, warm and rustic decorations, the day's sunshine fending off any chill in the air.

Tuck in and enjoy, villagers, but take note: Things often look different in the dark, and you might be one of them.

Bull listens quietly, nodding slightly. "Those that can, return to the battle, those that can not find a different purpose. Some are so broken there is only one way to help them." He sighs. "We have a drug, Qamek, it wipes their memories and takes away their mind. It is not a good option, but for some it is the only option."

But Altaïr shook his head. "That is not something I could conscionably do. To take someone's mind is to take their self. What they need is healing rather than forgetting. Death would be better than to take someone's identity."

If anything, it turned his stomach. It sounded like their Qamek was like what the Templars intended with the Apple: to make a world of mindless drones. Peace would come, it was true, but it was the peace of the subjugated rather than the peace of the contented.

"Not the way Qunari see it. The way they see it people are not individual, but rather parts of a whole. That the whole society is more important. And then death is a waste of a resource. If they are right or not is another matter."
eaglesonofnone: (to watch)

Ah. "Then, in that, we differ. I see each person, each life, as independent, and society as a construct of each person working together. It is important that society thrives, that I will not contest, but that it does so without regard for those who build it is not an idea with which I can agree. For what does society benefit but those who comprise it?" The question was rhetorical - and yet, true. What use was society if it granted nothing to those who tended it? That was why he believed much of Masyaf's tenets to be useful and good.

"I am not saying you are wrong. And some parts of what you are saying the Qun agrees with but other parts it does not. On the other hand, I can no longer fully call myself Qunari as I chose my own happiness over the Qun, so I have no reason to disagree with you."

But Altaïr held up a hand. "My apologies. I've gotten too embroiled in the idea and philosophy for a simple conversation. I meant no debate and certainly no judgement."

Bull smiles. "None taken. I don't mind debating it as long as you remember I don't fully believe that anymore."
eaglesonofnone: (apart)

"I will remember - but I would rather change the topic as my feelings on such things run deep, and I would rather not offend someone I count as a new friend," he said, giving his head a small shake. "Debates grow heated. I haven't the heart for such things anymore."

Bull chuckles and then nod. "Maybe one for another time then." He is glad to hear that Altair counts him as a new friend already. "You're hardly that old. How old are you, thirty?"
eaglesonofnone: (in plain sight)

A faint sound that was almost a laugh escaped him - though it held all of the amusement that a laugh would. "I am ninety-two. Somehow, coming here gave me my youth once more. How, I do not know, but I am much older in mind than in body."

"You certainly don't look it. Unless you're an elf or something. They live long lives." He smiles. "And that is not a bad thing. I know people who would love that."
eaglesonofnone: (to know)

"It hasn't been unwelcome as much as it has been odd," he said, slowly shaking his head. "I am no elf. I am only a man who has likely outlived his usefulness, but remains too stubborn to let go."

"I don't think anyone ever outlives their usefulness. If nothing else they can live as teachers and inspiration for others."
