Out of the Blue 27/2: Main Theme

[Anna]

Hope,

Can you give us specifics now on what will be happening at the Horizon Hold gather so that we may start plotting and writing?

[Hope]

Uh...<flitter caught in glow-light look>

Well, there will be runner racing, probably a little racing from other species--canine, perhaps a flitter race if anyone can explain the concept to them. "No, no! You can't go between to that place, just fly there really fast!" There will be merchants, wine sellers, crafters. There will be an employment fair, with people trying to get hired or apprenticed for various employments. There will be silly girls swooning over dragonriders, and likely silly boys too for that matter. There will be games of chance, swindlers, and pick pockets. There will be music and dancing, both inside for invited guests (ranked characters, dragonriders, and the like) and outside for everyone. (Much more lively outside!) There will be puppet shows, acrobats, and story tellers for the children.
People of rank will be gathering for meetings both legitimate and not, journeymen will be looking for patrons, and courtesans will be looking for protectors. The weather will be lovely, clear and bright. Dawn Hold is sure to be up to mischief.

As people plot occurrences that may be noticeable to other gather attendees, I think we should post them here--just what others would see, not the plot behind it!

Does that help?

Ooooo! That helps me a lot! In a story I'm working on now they end up at a Gather. This is perfect!

Sounds like the perfect starting place for Rissa and her group to perform at especially since they are looking for information concerning the pirates.
