[ It's a breezy summer day on Isle Bermuda. There are gulls crying, a few lazy clouds, and plenty of sunshine with a cooling wind.

Today also happens to be a special event! It's time for Tanabata, and seemingly out of nowhere, a thicket of bamboo has sprung up in the trees near the shoreline. Speaking of the beach, a festival seems to be underway; there are lanterns strung up, fresh food, and plenty of goat-people selling fresh food and games.

The festival goes long into the evening, so don't miss it!

The tradition of Tanabata, as you will notice, is to write a wish on a tag and hang it from a bamboo tree. So make a wish and hope for the best! ♥ And what's this? A mysterious, female voice is drifting along, carried by the wind; ]

The bamboo leaves rustle,
shaking away in the eaves.
The stars twinkle
on the gold and silver grains of sand.
The five-colour paper strips
I have already written.
The stars twinkle,
they watch us from heaven.

[ A wind from the east has blown in a mighty thunderstorm, covering the hot sunny island in torrential rain and gusts. One way or another, you'll find your way to the mansion to escape the downpour.

But the winds have not merely brought rain... The air buzzes with MYSTERY.

As you enter the mansion foyer, your attention may be drawn to a chalk outline on the floor... and blood. A scent wafts in from the dining hall where a dinner has been prepared...

You're trapped in this mansion until the rain passes... what will you do? Who will you suspect? ]

[ A magnificent event has been prepared this evening. It is the sincerest hopes of your hostess, that you will enjoy yourself. In the mansion's indoor garden, all manner of food and drink have been prepared, along with bouquets not seen in your most vivid imaginings. Behold the splendor of Lady Eureka's botanical gardens, and maybe find a few new faces among the crowd as well.

Appropriate attire may be found enclosed. One must dress smartly to attend a proper party, isn't that the way? Your attendance is most encouraged, and the Moon is full tonight. They say a full moon can be a sign of truly interesting things to come... Come, and let us bask in the twilight.

I look forward to seeing you.

Your Gracious Hostess,
Lady Eureka. ]

[ As you enter the indoor greenhouse, the Moon does indeed shine with fullness through the glass walls of the room, where numerous small lights and candles dot the tables and landscape. Some seem to float of their own accord... And besides a lavish amount of wine, juices and other drinks, there is food; exotic sorts. The flowers seem to glow with a faintly ethereal quality. They are blooming in wild and unusual colors, many never seen before. There is a record player, sharing the works of classic composers. Roses line the garden's edges. Are you ready to enjoy Eureka's hospitality? ]

[ ooc: The event will focus mainly on the flowers, which have various effects, listed HERE. ]

[ Best wishes from Bermuda Isle!

A number of booths have sprung up near the shoreline, enticing you to don yourself in the colorful festive garb of a true Bermuda native! Unwind from your day and come out to see what's offered. ♥ There are all sorts of delicious foods and snacks, and plenty of souvenirs. It's time to ring in the New Year of 2012! Lanterns have been strung up, and the snow seems to have stopped. In fact, no snow is to be seen near the site of the festival itself. Oddly, the booths are all run by strange black goatlike creatures in finely tailored suits...

The catch is, unless you sneak in, you have to come with a friend or a date! So find someone to go in with you! ♥ You may even catch a glimpse of Eureka as she wanders the festival... ]

[ Now that you have accustomed yourselves to the luxurious Isle de Bermuda, and settled into the guesthouses, it's time to ring in the Winter season with... Winter! Eureka's power has grown a little, what with Maria and the others talking about her, and with this extra boost of magic comes a change in weather, to something more... seasonal. You will awake to discover that a snowstorm has blown in and blanketed the island in festive white. Somehow, the mansion already has lights strung up for the occasion.

Snowmobiles will also be found in the adjacent garage, where no snowmobiles previously existed! Lastly, igloos. There are random igloos in the woods. ]

[ They say where there is smoke, there is fire, and happily, despite the spat of unusual occurrences lately, this has not stopped being true; there is a large column of smoke rising from somewhere off in the trees, and should you pursue it, you will find a large clearing with a roaring fire. A makeshift altar has been built in front of it, and even the nearby animals seem drawn to the flame.

The altar is sacrificing a large wooden heart, crudely carved from wood, and slowly burning. The smoke is also thicker than it ought to be, and if you breathe it in, you may begin to feel a little lightheaded.

As you examine the altar, or even as you head back to the mansion, your thoughts may involuntarily begin to change. Anxiety and homesickness melt away, leaving you desiring company. What this means may be different for the individual, but it is more or less a unified sensation of craving a companion for the evening. Whether you just want to have someone there, or hold them, or perhaps more than that...

Any way you cut it, the sexy god should be appeased. ]
