Come See the Lanterns: Rapunzel's Birthday

Who: Everyone in the village willing to celebrate Rapunzel's birthday
What: Rapunzel's birthday and a surprise lantern ceremony
When: The evening of March 5th (and optionally backdated art club stuff for March 3rd)
Where: Throughout the village
Summary: Rapunzel thinks everyone's forgotten her birthday. But Ikki and Aang have asked everyone who's willing to prepare a lantern ceremony as a surprise.
Rating: It's a scene from a Disney movie, so G. ...Probably.

It was a long time since Rapunzel first told Aang about the lantern ceremony that happened every year on her birthday. They originally decided to arrange one for her half-birthday, but he wound up being stressed enough to forget it at the time. But now that her actual birthday approached, he remembered. Working together with Ikki and the art club, they set it up to be a total surprise for her.

Following the inquiry of Asch, Ikki made a general announcement about the birthday plans: everyone could make their own lanterns and tell their friends to help/make some, too (and this can be handwaved as much as need be). And on the 5th, the art club had a secret early meeting in which they focused primarily on the making of the lanterns, while keeping it a secret for Rapunzel.

And now the time has come for it to pay off. Once night falls in Luceti, the lanterns are distributed in a variety of ways. Some people may prefer to let them drift out their windows. Others are released from atop Appa the sky bison - as well as any other air creatures willing to lend their services. And anyone with wind powers such as airbending also helps to guide the lanterns' path to focus near the river. There, boats have been set up - both for Rapunzel and for anyone else who would like to enjoy sailing under the lanterns. And in the plaza a small party area has been set up with food from, well, anyone who thinks their characters would cater for the event. Go wild!

Happy birthday, Rapunzel.

[ A gift! She squeaks with surprise as she quickly opens it, finding the hair clip inside. ]

It's beautiful, Rockly! [ She inspects it closely. Simply lovely. ] Did you pick this out yourself?
niceguypose: (sparkles)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2013-03-21 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I did! It reminded of my master, Gai-Sensei, so I thought it would complement your hair nicely. May it lend you his strength!

I'm sure it will! [ And she'll be sure to wear it to their training in particular. ] But why does it remind you of your master?
niceguypose: (talking)

I'm glad you appreciate the present. It reminds me of him because his personal summon is a large tortoise known as Ningame! He sometimes helps Gai-Sensei to scold me.

[ ...huh. ]

The tortoise scolds you?
niceguypose: (I don't follow)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2013-03-24 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Rapunzel-san, I know this may be hard to believe, but you must trust my word...

I have indeed acted foolishly enough to earn scoldings in the past, as ashamed as I am to admit it.

[Because clearly that's the part Rapunzel finds absurd.]

[ ...

Well, it was hard to imagine Lee getting scolded for anything. He was always so kind and determined! But... ]


But...a tortoise?
niceguypose: (intent)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2013-03-24 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That is surprising to you? Well, I suppose when it comes to summons, toads and dogs are much more common.

[personal profile] gleamed 2013-03-25 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
...Summons?
niceguypose: (confident)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2013-03-26 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! Do you not have those in your world? In my world, one ninja ability involves using chakra to summon animals. There are animals who can speak and usually have great power, whom people can form summoning contracts with. Gai-Sensei, the man whom I admire the most, forged a contract with the tortoise Ningame.
gleamed: (☼ story time!;)

[personal profile] gleamed 2013-03-26 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds magnificent! Talking animals - oh, I wish I could meet one! Perhaps Ningame will show up here someday.
niceguypose: (I accept)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2013-03-26 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
I wish you could meet him as well! I am sure he would have some words of wisdom regarding the problems here. Of course, I would also not mind being able to see Gai-Sensei again. We can never predict how people come and go in this world.

It's true...but there's nothing wrong with hoping, is there?
niceguypose: (excuseme)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2013-03-26 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You are right. There is nothing wrong with hope. As dangerous as this place is... I know you would love to meet Gai-Sensei. I have learned so much from him, and I am sure he would inspire you as well.

I could always introduce you to my teammates sometime... Neji and Tenten. I am sure you would all get along well, Rapunzel-san. Neji is my greatest rival!

[ She grins. ] I'd love to meet your teammates! Would I get to see the three of you spar?
niceguypose: (friendly)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2013-03-27 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! I am sure they would not be adverse to that. You'll be able to see the team in action!
gleamed: (☼ eagerly;)

[personal profile] gleamed 2013-03-28 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Wonderful! I’m very much looking forward to it, then.
niceguypose: (flexing)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2013-03-28 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent. I shall try to arrange this at some time. I hope I can perform well! After all, my teammate Neji is a rival whom I have always endeavored to overcome.

But - I should let your other guests entertain you. I am sure there are a vast array of gifts awaiting you, Rapunzel-san!
