After her recent network post, Satou began work on a candle display. She has set up glass shelves outside of the Genessia Guardian office, each divided into elegant cubicles with glass doors. A nearby sign indicates that these shelves of cubicles (of which, there are hundreds,) are intended for putting candles and flowers inside. "Dedicate the spaces to your missing friends, family, and found-family," the sign suggests, "The Guardianship and kind volunteers will ensure that the candles remain burning for the rest of the the Guardian term."

Though, anyone who knows Satou probably knows that she intends to work with the next Guardian in order to keep the displays up for as long as possible. Additionally, there are a few flyers with directions to the Sheelal Trauma Centre in Nova: In case anyone should need professional counsel.

The event is an open mingle. Characters are welcome to make top-levels for themselves as they mourn their missing loved ones. The hope is to connect with CR of their missing friends, and maybe form more relationships. Feel free to also assume your character is volunteering, and maybe use the prompts before for inspiration~!

There will also be a top-level where you can leave the names of dropped characters, then reply with IC remembrance notes. Nothing says "we miss you" like trash talking people, right?? Here is an example. No need to add the "Name" and "Message" to your comments: Those are just there for clarity.

✣ Prompt A. Setting Up )) The displays are made primarily with Satou's magic, but she can't do everything along! The glass may need to be cleaned, baskets of candles need to be put out, and decorations set in place. The Guardian Office will also be opened, so any help to make it look inviting is greatly appreciated. 

✣ Prompt B. Decorating Cubicles )) Characters are encouraged to take their time really personalizing the cubicles. Maybe you'll want to team up with someone who shares your CR, and discuss together how to make it reflect them... Or, maybe you'll need help decorating through your tears. Volunteers will be given access to a supply of candles, fabric, paper, flowers, etc. so that they can assist.

✣ Prompt C. Low-key Potluck )) On both nights, there is a quiet potluck in the Guardian's Office. Sometimes it's hard to worry about food or selfcase when you're sad, and it is the Guardian's job to look after the health of the citizens. Mingle with others, talk out your feelings, and give yourself a break!

✣ Prompt D. Daytime Candle Viewing )) If your character can't make it at night, maybe come by during the day. Volunteers to keep candles from going out and wipe down the glass will also be greatly appreciated!
