Log;

This was something familiar, though she herself had never taken part in the preparations. The moon festival was always a big celebration in the Chinese Federations' capital, and Luoyang was always decked in an army of brightly colored lanterns. So she'd gotten some hung up in the trees, (not that she could reach them by herself), and they did make her smile. It wasn't the same as in the capitol, but that was why she liked it. The Outside world.

A full moon, it was perfect, right, and no clouds...

"How beautiful..." The small Empress murmured, head tipping back to look up. A mooncake in her hand, half eaten. People would come, and it would be a good time, she was sure. She had even tried hard to make one without eggs. It wouldn't be good, to not be able to eat a mooncake today. Not with as many friends were here and would come.

[ooc; open to everyone, as said, and if you want to address a certain person, just label it, otherwise, I'll probably tag you, or someone else will! Hopefully this can be fun, mm? ♥ And if you aren't much for logging, you can assume your character was here.]

The look of wonderment the Tianzi had worn so much in this city never ceased to warm his heart. The night was made that much better, having the approval of his esteemed leader. He had his own mooncake in hand but he hadn't taken a bite. He wasn't hungry and was still suppressing pain. This night, though, wasn't about him. It was about the Tianzi.

"It's nice, isn't it? Do you think it's different here than it is back in China?"

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

"... Mmm." She wondered over the question, staring up at the moon, before pausing to take another bite, munching quietly.

"I think the moon is still the same." The Tianzi finally said, small feet kicking a little where she sat, toes touching before retreating, then touching again, idly moving back thick silver hair from her face.

"It's just everything else that's different, right? In the Outside World? But the moon is still the same, everywhere you go."

[againstasystem.livejournal.com]

"It is the same moon everywhere you go, just different from where you're seeing it."

The stories and folklore were always different, no matter how unified the world was. How much the Tianzi had heard, he did not know. There was one thing that always came to mind when he saw the moon.

"Do you actually think there is a woman on the moon?"

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

"... Probably not." She didn't lose the smile, though. It wasn't a depressing thought.

"I don't think she could be up there so long. But... I think it's a really nice story." She looked over at his hand, bit her lip a little.

"... does it taste bad?" She'd tried her best, and she was certain some of them wouldn't taste as good, but... she hadn't burned them!

Caspian was out and about with the Pevensies, but he also had every intention to speak with Xing-Ke, as soon as he could spare a minute. Never away from the Tianzi.

[againstasystem.livejournal.com]

Never away was almost the perfect wording for it. However, the Tianzi had other friends to visit and Xing-ke used that time to head over to where the food was. He carefully picked through the mooncakes, removing the burnt ones so they didn't traumatize the other visitors or cause a problem at a later date.

Wow Xing-Ke, Caspian never knew he was so particular about his party goods. Then again, the Telmarine King would be the same way at his own castle... sort of, that's what servants were for.

"Xing-Ke," he said the other man's name coolly. Caspian was dressed with blade and dagger, assuming they were not asked to remove their arms.

Oh Tianzi

A white rabbit appeared with neither grass in its paws nor a fire in its eyes. But there was something burning in its gaze still, like the stars in the sky set in emeralds. Its nose twitched as it approached the Tianzi, more importantly, her mooncakes.

Make Her Night Why Don't You

The Tianzi froze, mouth falling open in a little "oh". She was quiet a moment, in a bit of shock, before a big smile broke on her face and she bent down, smoothing down layers of silk, to hesitantly hold out her half eaten mooncake, blushing a bit at realizing she was offering the rabbit a half eaten one, switching hands to offer another, whole one.

WHY YES

[2nd-dream-king.livejournal.com]

Its nose flickered like the shadows of a flame, or twitched as lapin noses are wont to do, when she held the morsel out. It wouldn't matter to this rabbit, half eaten or whole, because it was after all just a creature. Still it lifted its paw in curiosity, smelling the mooncake before it began to nibble on the shaped rim.

<3!

Her mouth doesn't close, still open in that "oh" of wonderment and surprise. She made sure to keep her hand very, very, still.

"Are you the jade rabbit?" She whispered, crouching down a bit more, slowly.

Hullo!

An orange rabbit, huge compared to the white one, hopped hopped hopped it's way into the gathering. Destruction liked mooncakes too, and it seemed like an appropriate form to show up in.

Surprise~!

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

"Another one!" Whispered to herself, and another mooncake... well, it was half eaten. Maybe that was okay?

"... is this okay?" Best to check, holding out the half eaten one.

[gone-creating.livejournal.com]

A half eaten one was terrific! Destruction hopped over, groomed himself and nibbled, taking the mooncake in his large rabbity paws. What a nice lass!

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

The Tianzi settled cross-legged on the ground, smiling happily.

"I guess rabbits like looking at the rabbit on the moon, right?"

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

The Black Rabbit of Inlé emerges this night, only perhaps in better spirits decided to find out where her brothers had gone. Oh, that's right. The moon was quite lovely tonight too and the lanterns were an extra pleasant touch.

[2nd-dream-king.livejournal.com]

Sister.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

Hi. It's a great night for a hop.

[2nd-dream-king.livejournal.com]

I did not know you would attend.

Groom groom groom. Even Endless Rabbits have their habits.

Lucy was carrying a plastic bottle full of punch but that didn't slow her down. She almost ran into the party to the table full of cakes and set the punch down, then looked back at her family. "Isn't this lovely?" she exclaimed with a smile and a laugh.

It was lovely, and new, and different, and Lucy was excited.

After the events of last night, it was good to have a night of festivities. While he knew it was unlikely the White Witch would show, Peter had brought along Rhindon as a precaution.

"I don't think we've ever been to a party like this before. It is quite lovely." Peter remarked, glancing up at the lanterns and decorations.

[Caspian has his sword and a dirk.]

So that is a mooncake.

[Stare. He has one in his hand. To bite or not to bite.]

[lionesssejant.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen anything like this either. [Agreeing with Peter.]

These are peculiar cakes. What's in them?

[Just as puzzled as Caspian.]

They must be sweet if they're called cakes.

[Here goes a bite.]

"Lucy!" Tianzi spotted the fellow young royalty, hiking up her silk robes and hurrying over.

"You came!"

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Lucy smiled and waved and gave Tianzi a hug when she came by. "Hullo!" she said with a bright smile. "I wouldn't miss it!"
