Festival of Mutato (0.0.1)
OOC: This is the opening thread of the game, meant to get the players back and posting so that everyone from all walks of life can get together.
There are 500 25 hour "days" in a Galactic Year, split into 25 day "months" (composed of 5 day "weeks". As Influx has no planet, the ringworld abides solely by Galactic Time (GT).
From the 11th day of the 11th month to the 16th day of the 11th month is the only holiday the Necroforged officially observe. During those 5 days, there is no work. Only the essential jobs remain running.
Everyone else is invited to the Leisure District where the entire sector becomes a bustling festival. Exotic foods, stands, plays, and every other imaginable diversion is on display. Stands are only open for half days, alternating so that those working the stalls might also partake. Each stall is also required to show how each item is made or done.
It is a festival of teaching, dedicated to Sariel, a god that the Necroforged do not worship, but who's holiday they still uphold. It is the only time anyone will ever see a Necroforged relaxing.
Paper lanterns fill the sky with streamers and confetti. Food and vendors of all descriptions fill the streets as the sounds of an energetic crowd bring the massive buildings to life.
