Happy Mog's Day!

What's Mog's Day? Well, it's not surprising you haven't heard of it, since it isn't an Earth holiday. It's a fall celebration marking the end of the season, before moogles enter their annual hibernation. A simple drawing of a moogle (a white, vaguely koala-like animal with small bat wings) was included in the invitation. On arrival, guests will be asked to don a large red nose, out of respect for Mog. The hosts are exempt from this, given they're the ones throwing the party and all.

Want a tour of the house? The hosts are not familiar with the concept of a housewarming party, but that's essentially what this is, and any of them would probably show you around if you like. They've just moved, but there's no sign of boxes. Rather, the bookshelves and decor seem a little sparse, their belongings having migrated from a smaller space. You may catch glimpses of a large orange cat slinking around behind the furniture. He has not yet adjusted to his new surroundings, and all the strangers aren't helping.

A catered dinner is laid out on the dining room table. (They can cook, they just... didn't.) There's also a chocolate cake waiting in the kitchen for later. It's for Loki; Sephiroth doesn't really care about cake.

The nearby back door leads out into the yard, and the fire pit. Arranged on a table are some materials one might use to create a simple effigy of someone you particularly hate. There's also a bag of marshmallows, seemingly as an afterthought.

Comments

[dothelokimotion]

That is wise.

I don't think he'll change his stance in regards to this.

[atypical_echo]

[That is really fair and Mark nods in agreement.]

And his comfort matters. I'm glad I could give this to you though.

[dothelokimotion]

How long have you had this?

[atypical_echo]

The full thing? A few days, in prep for this. But the picture? Since before I tried to give you my portfolio.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he blinks. ]

That long ago?

[atypical_echo]

Yeah. I don't think I could get him to pose for these again, not without you specifically requesting it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ oh. that is . . . really sweet actually. ]

I . . . had not realized.

[atypical_echo]

I think he's got something in his past, about the whole being displayed for others. So I don't want to force that on him.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes, I know. He's not fond of it and that's fine. His comfort takes priority.

Which is why I'm surprised he agreed, even then.

[atypical_echo]

Yeah, me too. But he was great about it. He wanted to help me pitch the work.

[Maybe Sephiroth had done it just for Loki.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ it seems that way, doesn't it. ]

He can be helpful.

[atypical_echo]

[Mark laughs and nods.]

I don't even know why he tolerated me then. But I am grateful. He helped me find something good through you, and you've given me a chance to explore my art in new ways. So I thank you both.

[dothelokimotion]

You're welcome, I suppose.

[atypical_echo]

[Mark smiles and nods. Because of course he's glad for that.]

Um, I'm just going to get this nose on and check out the, I heard someone mention a fire pit? I love those.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course. Do enjoy yourself.

[atypical_echo]

[Mark nods and gives the guy a wave before slipping off.]
