[ As a fellow Eiather student he had heard the rumors but those had always been lacking in detail so a note was tacked up next to the others. ]

This isn't one of those everyone meet at the bonfire for a living sacrifice kind of 'Festival of the Gods' is it?

[bearshermark]

Goddess, no. There won't be any sacrifices. It's just a tour along the temples with food and music and such.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ One can't see the wince through a note exchange but there was one as he read the word Temple. ]

I'll pass on the Temple run. I'm not any more interested in burning my toes than I am in tossing people into a bonfire.
Guess I should do something though. Might be good for some extra credit. What sort of music?

[bearshermark]

[Burning toes. El will just stare at that phrase a moment]

I can't say at the moment; I think that will depend on the performers and what the temple priests feel is appropriate. I'm not any good with music myself.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ When you are a demon dealing with potentially holy temples it's a concern. ]

That's a mistake! Never let Priests chose the music! You've heard the sorts of things they pick? It will be all Chamber music, soft choral, boring gospel stuff... There is a reason people don't want to listen to it. That stuff will put you to sleep! If you want to get people really into this festival, the music needs to have a beat, something you can dance to.

[bearshermark]

[As an acolyte in one of the temples, he is very familiar]

Inside the temple, I think it should be that way. But outside it, yes. This is a festival and meant to be a celebration after all. I'd love if more than just the performers were inspired to dance.

[serpentinthegarden]

Its your festival, but I think part of the reason there is a lack of faith is that going to the Temples is a snore. Maybe the rest could be fun... get some very holy pole dancing going on in the square.

[ Maybe demons were a bad fit for this. ]

[bearshermark]

[Goddess, lend him strength. At least this isn't in person. His composure would be utterly ruined]

We're honoring the Gods, not attempting to disgrace them. Some sort of joyful atmosphere. Mayhaps I'll speak with a few others well-versed in Fantastics.

[serpentinthegarden]

My pole dancing isn't a disgrace!

[ It is... Don't let Crowley shake his grove thing... Please... ]

I'd think any God worth knowing could appreciate a good pole dance. It takes real talent to hang upside down or to tumble down the length of a pole without crashing into the stage or ripping your pants.

[bearshermark]

[He really. Didn't need to think about any of that]

That may be so in the world you're from, but I wouldn't risk it here.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ You're welcome! ]

It isn't, unfortunately... The God we have back home is as dull as this lot.

[bearshermark]

Difficult to speak for more of them then I imagine.

[serpentinthegarden]

???

Not sure what you mean. But they must be! If they would rather listen to holy music than Bohemian Rhapsody.

[bearshermark]

[It's El's turn to question mark, because he sure doesn't understand that reference]

I'm sorry the gods don't seem to share your taste in music, but I am interested in striking a joyful tone for the rest of the festival.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Clearly Eleven's slide towards the darkside need to begin with a 'Best of Queen' cd. ]

You would need to just to wake everyone up again.

[bearshermark]

It isn't as though we're hosting sermons.

(I'm so sorry El)

[Scrawled in sparkly green ink:]

We NeEd a DeMon feStivaL too! Wanna HeLp?

(Sorry! Demons gonna demon)

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Ughh... sparkly green ink, the kind that gets all over every thing if you touch it. Brilliant choice really. ]

Obviously. What these people need is more fun and who better than demons to provide it?
