18:19 <SaintAnti> It was beginning to get dark, and to get bright, as the lights began to shine in the city, and the drums of the festival began. The festivals Brightwater was famous for involved the collective cultures of everyone in the surrounding area uniting as one, to party. Performers from the northern forest areas danced in the streets, hurling batons of fire, Merchants in shady outfits beckoned travelors closer, offering
<SaintAnti> to sell them things which a normal travelor would have trouble getting at the general market, and some things which you would not want to be found with when the guard check what you have on you. Guards in steel armor parade around, part of the celebration itself, all the while other guards watch for incoming travelors and greet them to the town.
18:21 * Sun-Hou-Zi rides into the town and gazes at the sights around him, before giving Alasia a curious glance
<SaintAnti> Amidst the crowds, came to the city a charming warlock, an elk-riding ranger druid of the forests, a monk who wishes to travel the worlds, and a hardened warrior who is trying to re-discover a purpose in her life. They blended seemlessly with the crowd itself, as many were just as them.

18:23 <SaintAnti> Through the various attractions of the festival itself, mages juggled balls of fire, hunched over cloaked figures sold shady weapons and armor from lands far off, and a troupe of very strong, intimidating fisherman show off their latest catch in the lakes of brightwater, a 20 meter long beast, which they claimed could command the very thunder itself.
18:24 <SaintAnti> The mood was joyous, and the air smelled of smoke, and cooked meats.
18:26 * Alasia looks around at the sights like an excited tourist, but her eyes are sharp and focused.
* Sun-Hou-Zi sits in the driver's seat of his cart, with his faithful canine sitting in the back - gazing all around him at the sights and taking in the wonderful smells of food and spices. He looks to Alasia with a curious, questioning expression - his eyebrows half-raised
18:27 <Alasia> "A festival? A large one, too... It would be easy to be lost here."
<SaintAnti> Alasia notices a stall where a man is selling spellbooks, ancient tomes, and various other books, most of the magical variety. The man selling it was tall and lanky, with sharp features on his face. He seemed familliar.
18:28 * Sun-Hou-Zi nods at Alasia, and nods to the street before them - continuing his questioning expression
* Illona seems to be munching on a spiced pastry of some manner while downing a mug of ale. They were both pretty good, but they kinda were lacking without company.
* Tomlin looks at all the delicious spiced meats
* Toyoo is bumping through the crowed and actually is afraid, not having been around so many peple at one time before, so he jsut keeps quiet and close to his Elk.

<SaintAnti> The people part way from Toyoo's elk, allowing Toyoo to fairly easily traverse through the crowd fairly easily. Tomlin admires the meats; most, if not all of then are foreign to him.
