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.

You know, maybe I can try to teach people how to make Wayfinders...

[He brings a hand to his chin, mulling this over.]

'Course, Aqua'd know better than me.

Wayfinders? What are those?
risingwinds: (terra terra can I keep the fish?)

Here, I'll show you!

[In fact, watch as he scoops out a green, star-shaped charm.]

This is a Wayfinder. They're supposed to be good luck charms that represent the connections between you and your friends.
gleamed: (☼ oh yay!;)

[ She eyes it curiously, finding it quite lovely. ]

Oh! That sounds very nice.
risingwinds: (we just gotta believe!)

And it really is, if you ask me! I might not have the same kinda magic skills as Aqua, but I think having Wayfinders in a place like this would mean a lot. Especially when you never know how long someone'll really be here.

[Having something to remind you of your bonds really helps when hit by an avalanche of departures.]

But...why are they call Wayfinders?
