Happy late late WBW! What sort of celebrations/holidays are there in your world? Do your OCs like them or hate them? @catharticallysarcastic
It's okay, I'm answering so late it's almost Early WBW :P
In the world of Athenaeum, Initiation Day is a pretty big deal. It's when apprentices in the Greenhouse Project finally become full-fledged members of their respective guilds. There's usually a big festival, and traveling merchants all come and set up shop in a bright, colourful celebration! The festivities usually start a day or two early and finish a day or two late, but the ceremonies themselves all take place within one day.
At the start of the story (as it exists currently), Tagoni is looking forward to her forthcoming initiation along with the other conduits. Wren has been a member of the engineers' guild for a year and is excited for his best friend, too! Ori and Masha, their mentors, have been through enough of these that they're just another yearly Thing to worry about, but they're happy for their apprentices anyway.
Leilanie, on the other hand, is not a big fan because she doesn't like crowds or crowded spaces.
Other celebrations in the area are the anniversary of the founding of the city of Paredes and the Greenhouse Project, and the Feast of the Guilds. The Greenhouse Project conduits (the whole main cast except Leilanie) love them, and unsurprisingly, Leilanie does not. ;P
Thank you for the ask @catharticallysarcastic :)
