• Breakfast, Hunter's Moon day 31Oct20

    From cshenk@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 31 14:31:28 2020
    Cats, dogs, skunks, and 2foots wander in for a hearty breakfast. Some
    had a quick washup after morning chores that even on a festival day can
    not be missed.

    Chatter abounds as word travels faster than light about the boutique
    and that they even have a nail salon! The Mystriss of the Paw (who
    teaches Paw greeters) was able to afford nail polishes at the boutique
    and will open shop promptly after breakfast. The Bamboo workers,
    finished with their normal tasks, will have the steam baths and hot
    pools ready with towels for all to enjoy.

    Meantime, the big table almost groans at the load of foods and yet
    there is no true excess. What little is left over, will be in a lunch soup/stew or like the rice, fried up with other things and be part of
    dinner.

    Pepe and Gigi are delighted with bowls of grubs swimming in a meaty
    broth with tiny portions of Durian. Paw or hand washing basins are
    spaced all about.

    Kitties, doggies, and others appear in the teleporter, looking around in
    awe at the beautiful village. A sign-in table is just a little way from
    the teleporter, set up under a bamboo shelter. A shy buff-colored kitty
    sits there greeting arriving guests, and handing out hankies to all who
    request them. He's wearing an elegant buff-colored cape with a beautiful
    silver clasp, with a black bow on his tail. He directs new arrivals to
    the tables where the breakfast spread can be found. The sounds of happy
    meows and barks sound across the village.

    An elegant Havana Brown with a fair bit of grey in his coat and his
    muzzle steps through and signs the guest book: Hercule Lenoir. He asks
    Fred to point out the village elder, then he approaches the elder and
    bows deeply. Upon invitation from the elder he sits down and they speak.
    After a minute or so Hercule takes out his catellite phone and makes a
    brief call.

    Musicians step through the 'porter carrying their instruments, then they
    locate the local musicians and go sit with them. Soon the locals and
    Hercule's orchestra members are showing each other their instruments,
    with the locals with their beautiful hand-made instruments playing
    softly with the orchestra cats. The orchestra soon gets a decent
    understanding on the tone scale of the local instruments, and the two
    groups softly play a few songs with each other. Everybody is laughing
    and having a wonderful time. They might speak different spoken
    languages, but music is universal.

    A small calico and a larger grey Maine Coon gingerly step out of the teleporter. They've never been to a Jellicle Ball before but heard tales of it from their big brother Snowball. Snowball stopped going after his big brother Sebastian went to the Bridge. They look around and neither have seen so many kitties and d*ggies before, even when they were at the shelter. A buff-colored kittie sees and greets them and directs them to the sign-in table.

    who don't know her.

    She greets a few kitties she remembers. P2ña gets a few chin skritches. Seeing Hercule across the way, she does a slow blink at him, which is returned. She smiles at the Mahoney clowder members that she has met before, seeing that there are more of them
    since the last time she visited the community. Then she arrives at the sign-in table.]

    Hello, I believe you are Mr. Fred, is that right? I am Anti Sandy. I hope it is OK for a hoomin to attend the Jellicle Ball on her own. May I sign the guest book?

    needed but it isn't needed. Prince offers to escort her.

    Prince noses his way up, being really careful to not step on anyone.
    He whines softly and extends his head for a pet and hopefully an ear
    scritch. He's very careful to wag his tail up high, well over the

    Prince stretches up and gently rubs a warm cheek to hers then lowers
    down and moves off to let another say hello. It's Pepe and Gigi who
    shyly approach then sit back on their haunches, hoping she will pet
    them too.

    Meantime, a very impromptu hair salon of sorts has opened. 2 foots are
    lined up with fur brushes and various furry 4foots jump in for a
    brushing.
