Thirteenth Sacrament: Summer

[ The video snapped on, revealing a warm, summer garden, as the sun was setting and casting long shadows over the ground. Walter was standing, in jeans, a black tee and with a green plaid shirt left open to cover his arms, in the middle of a gathering of Pokemon who are all paying eager attention. He had evidently summoned them about something and was telling them about it...the Pokemon who turned on the camera set it down in the tree they had been hiding in, although they didn't reveal themselves. ]

-the Sun has been generous to us this year, with such a warm and bright summer. So now is our time to give thanks. To celebrate, before the September Equinox. We will need wood, for a fire to cook and dance by. Food as well. And...blood, as a sacrifice. [ Certain pokemon, an Audino and a Floette especially, look concerned about that. But others, such as the ghosts, are grinning eagerly and getting excited at the prospect of a sacrifice. Walter lifted his hands to calm them, speaking in his soft, firm voice. ] I have made plans for that already. Don't worry; there will be no death involved.

We will celebrate in two weeks, before the warmth of summer completely fades. In that time, we will prepare. [ He gestured certain Pokemon forward to give them unique jobs; gathering wood, preparing a fire pit/bonfire- when he's interrupted by Assumption, who stepped forward with a cry to get his attention. The two held their gaze, communicating without a word. Finally, Walter nodded. ] I suppose...we could invite some guests.

[ The gathered Pokemon perked up and began to shift, some roaring or cackling. A blood offering and visitors? This was definitely an occasion now! ]


(( OOC: Walter' will receive messages after his Gear has been brought down from the tree. ))

A sacrifice?

That's an interesting party event.

I've read stories similar to that. I never delved much into them.

Part of your religion back home?

It sounds lovely.

Is there one for each season then or just when the Sun comes and goes specifically?

That makes sense.

[She appreciates you trusting her, Walter. Really. She's honestly quite curious about all of this alongside just old habits of wanting to know everything about everyone.]

Do you need any help preparing things or is it already handled?

No need to thank me; that's what friends do.

[Cissnei was honestly not expecting a reply so she's genuinely surprised, and pleased, to receive one.]

I'd love to attend.
