Rating:
With the help of some friends and friends of friends, the school cafeteria has been transformed into a meeting space. Rows of chairs and a few benches fill the space, providing adequate seating for whoever wishes to come to the meeting.

Along the back are some tables set with cookies, pastries, and tea, juice, and coffee for people to munch and sip on, before, during, and after the meeting

By the entrance is another table. On it sits a locked box with a slit on top, small sheets of blank paper, and a few pencils and pens. This is the message box, for anyone who wishes to express an idea or thought in an anonymous manner. The box will later be opened and all the messages inside will be read out loud by Ginia.

At the front sits a platform - one of the ones built for A Midsummer Night's Dream - with a table and chair resting on top. It's where Ginia will sit during the meeting, the extra height for the purpose of being able to see anyone who may be seated in the back row.

Idea - Winter Wrap Up

[canterlock]

[Luna waits until there is a slight lull before raising her hoof (and her voice). It would be rude to interrupt the hewmons, as they have had some very interesting (and fun!) ideas so far.]

Fellow villagers, if we could have your attention!

We would like to propose a community holiday, a yearly tradition in our homeland of Equestria. Since winter is nearing its end here in Luceti - and because where we are from it is our responsibility to help turn the seasons - that which we wish to propose is the Winter Wrap Up celebration.

We have heard much of how it is celebrated in Ponyville, which varies from the formal ceremonies we are most used to. [She switches and holds up her other hoof as she explains.]

There, ponies are divided into three teams based on tasks they are to complete! These teams are of weather, plants, and animals. The weather team are those in charge of clearing the sky of clouds, shoveling away the snow, and scouring ice so that it will melt all the faster. The plant team... they are the ones who carry out the plowing of fields and planting of crops and gardens. As for the animal team, those are the ponies who guide the birds back to their nests, who awaken the creatures who hibernate the winter through, and who fashion new nests for the returned fowl.

...We do realize this would call for adjustments to accommodate other creatures and hewmons, and we would welcome such. We feel it would encourage teamwork and togetherness. And... we also think it would be an enjoyable occasion.

That said, we must insist that no magic be used in such a celebration, for it is tradition in Ponyville to carry out Winter Wrap Up in the manner of the Earth Ponies. By hoof! [A pause as she considers.] ...By paw, and by... hand?

Thank you for the idea, Princess Luna. I think that sounds like a fine celebration to have here and a fun way to welcome spring.

[canterlock]

But of course, fair Ginia! We think it would be good for the villagers to find reasons to celebrate. Otherwise this place would swiftly become dull and depressing.

[shadedsunlight]

Quite agreed. A good celebration is the sort of thing we need to lift spirits around here. I trust you will guide us in this celebration?

[canterlock]

Oh, w-well... [She hesitates. Her guide them? They're not even all ponies - in fact most of them aren't. Leading isn't a problem, no. She can lead, she's just not sure whether they would accept her leadership, even for this one celebration. The results have been rather disasterous in the past, but perhaps if she learns more of their ways, it will all work out in the end.]

We would be honored to.

Thank you, Princess Luna. I think we'll all be glad to have someone walk us through this celebration.
