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.

[Sephiroth takes a sip of his wine before asking:]

Skal?

[dothelokimotion]

Ah. It's what we say during a toast.

[unkindled_madness]

I gathered, but does it mean something?

[dothelokimotion]

[ his brow furrows as loki tries to recall. ]

Not particularly. It is just a cheers, something to be said in agreement during drinks.

[unkindled_madness]

I see. More of a sentiment.

[dothelokimotion]

Mm.

We smashed mugs too.

[unkindled_madness]

What? What did you smash them for?

[dothelokimotion]

That's the tradition! A warrior's strength is determined by how well they smash it.

[unkindled_madness]

What are you meant to drink out of once you've smashed all your mugs?

[dothelokimotion]

That rarely happened.

[unkindled_madness]

But it did happen.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps once or twice.

[unkindled_madness]

Well, I suppose you could always drink directly from the bottle.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki sniffs. ]

There's no need for mockery.

[unkindled_madness]

Am I not permitted to consider the practical questions?

[dothelokimotion]

Within reason.

[unkindled_madness]

[He chuckles.]

All right.

[He lifts his wine glass.] Do we have another set?

[dothelokimotion]

You want to break it?

[unkindled_madness]

It's tradition, isn't it?

[dothelokimotion]

Fair enough.

I can fix it if need be.

[unkindled_madness]

Then why not?

[...once it's empty, anyway, he's only taken a few sips.]

[dothelokimotion]

Very well.

[ loki finishes his wine with a snap before smashing it against the floor. ]

Another!

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth laughs and then downs the rest of his glass to catch up. He follows Loki's lead in smashing it.]

Another.

[dothelokimotion]

[ with a wave of his hand, loki cleans up the mess and the glasses reappear. ]

We might make a viking out of you yet.

[unkindled_madness]

Mm. And what else would it require?
