"Well, maybe you know her. Her name is Ribbon." Atarluna tried to look through the crowd. "She's a pretty blue unicorn with bright hair."
They didn't know it, but Ribbon was on the other side of the crowd looking for Atarluna.

"Bella," Sunrunner said, her cheer somewhat dimmed, "How have you fared lately? I'm afraid I haven't been out and about much..." She'd allowed herself to get bogged down again, what with everything going on....even in peace time, Dream Valley was bustling.

Comet reared up throwing his wings out to steady himself as he looked out over the crowd, but it was too dark and there were too many different colors to pinpoint just one. He flopped back down and almost hit at least three ponies with his wings, blushing and turning back to Atarluna he appologized. "Sorry, but I cannot find her in this large crowd."
Bella smiled at Sunrunner, "We have been well ourselves, and Kail has managed to not get herself killed once again, so all is well for now." She shot a quick glance over to Karma - if the child wanted to speak for herself she would have to, Bella wouldn't answer for her.
"My friend, you need to relax tonight. It is Fest Eve! What could possibly go wrong?"

Atarluna almost laughed at Comet's clumsiness, but caught herself.
"Oh, well," she said. "She'll come around eventually. So do you live here, too? Or did you travel in?"

(don't really know what I should have my char do so...)
Bubbles wandered around, marveling the beutiful lights and pretty decorations. "I wish my daughter and Tori were here to see this..." She said to herself. She knew they'd enjoy it. She wanted to socialize but she was a bit shy. She then got a grand idea. She thought she'd fill the area with floating bubbles here and there to add to the decorations. With a step back and a deep breath she blew a whole bunch of bubble out of nothingness. Her powers were pretty much only for show anyway. The bubbles filled the festival grounds, shimmering of the lights. It was a rather charmimg touch.

Atarluna was distracted suddenly by a bunch of bubbles that came floating by in shimmering rainbow shades.
"Oh," she said, taking a step back. "Those are beautiful."

Bubbles smiled proudly at her display. "I'm glad you like them." She said, unsure what else to say.

"I'm Atarluna," said the black, winged unicorn, trying to make conversation. "I'm new here. It's my first time to the festival."

So do you live here, too? Or did you travel in?
"I live here," Comet smiled, "I've been living with Bella and Canto over there since I arrived. I was a little out of place, and they offered to take me in, and I just haven't made it back out yet, which I think they dont mind because if they did I would hope they would at least tell me." Comet had a habit of talking in run-on sentances.
When they were surrounded by all the bubbles Comet smiled large. "Hello Bubbles!" he said gleefully, "Happy Fest Eve!"
(Im assuming he knows her since they have both lived in DV?)

She smiled politely back at the black alicorn. "Hello! I'm Bubbles. Welcome to Dream Valley! You'll like it here. I must admit I haven't been her since I was in my early 20's but everything seems to be as grad as ever." Bubbles looked at Comet and smiled wider. "Happy Fest Eve to you too!" Bubbles couldn't remember the last time she had this much of a good time. Raising a teenaged daughter can do that to a pony.

Silence began to bound playfully at all the bubbles floating around above him. Whisper giggled as one hit the tip of her nose and popped in her face. She laughed and wiped her maw once, before bounding at a few bubbles herself. This was a tiring thing for the sick filly but after a few attempts, and only reaching half as high as her brother, Whisper sat down and just waited for the bubbles to float down towards her.

Atarluna nodded to both Comet and Bubbles as they spoke. She followed where Comet was looking and made a mental noteabout the ponies he was looking at, but she doubted if she would remember them later.
"I do like it here," she said earnestly. It made her all the more bitter that her father never let her come here before, but she didn't feel it necessary to mention that he was a tired old goat who had forgotten how to eat. "So what else happens here on this...Fest Eve?" She was ever curious about the valley's customs.

"The fact that it's Fest Eve makes it more likely that things will happen," Sunrunner said with a shake of her head. "Though by now we've got the whole thing down pretty pat..." She watched Whisper and frowned.
King Sigel slipped away, and some of the light seemed to go with him.
Sunrunner didn't really pay much attention to the bubbles--no insult to their creator, she was just deep in worry.
Her eldest daughte, Starseeker, cocked her head, fascinated by this facet of her mother's personality: that she would already be emotionally tied to these two foals, so recently discovered.
It was, she reasoned, what made her mtoher a good ruler...but it was also such a burden that at times like this, Sunrunner seemed much older than her fourty odd years.

Silence began to run around and in between the adults legs, encoraging Whisper to follow him all the while. She grinned and giggled delighted as she began to chase her brother around a small area.
Silence wasn't watching where he was going and clumsily fell over a small rock in his path. This sent him sprawling on the floor. He lifted his head just as his sister came tumbling on top of him. They sat there in a heap, Whisper blushing at her clumsiness. They both smiled and cracked up with giggles.

"So what else happens here on this...Fest Eve?"
Comet considered a moment (appearantly a long moment no?) before speaking. "Well, just about everyone comes out here to the sorta mini-party and we light all the lights and eat and drink and be merry. When they throw the lights off many of us will go pray in the feild where the battle was when the guardian stars were made. I wasn't actually here then, but most of the older ponies still remember it. After the prayers we go home and to bed and tommorrow morning we all get up before sunrise to watch the lights come back. You aren't allowed to light anything between those two times, not even a match." He said it as if it were a secret, leaning in close with eyes wide.
"Of course if your scared of the dark you can always stick near me, I can take care of the boogy-men."
Karma laughed softly from her spot a few feet away, "yes, because you've always been the one to scare the boogy-men away."
Comet made a face at her and turned back looking only slightly hurt.
