Welcome to the first ever Jaha Secret Santa! Kara hosted the gathering in the Library, and made it a cozy, decorated area ahead of time. A tree that she decorated herself, along with tinsel, lights everywhere, mistletoe, poinsettias and all the other decorations the PodGod was nice enough to drop off. The gathering started at 7pm, and went as late as people wanted to stay. There were snacks courtesy of the mess, and apple cider that's.... not great, but hey, hot apple cider! Feel free to use this post to comment with your character that participated in the Secret Santa and talk about what gifts were exchanged and who you had for your Secret Santa! |
Today was the dedication of the memorial garden. Everyone was invited to attend. At the gate to the garden, large flats of flowers were available. People can either take one, put it in a pot, and keep it with them, or plant it themselves after the dedication. One section of the garden was purposefully left unfinished for today. There was a moment of silence for those no longer with them in whatever way. In an attempt to incorporate as much of the recent history of the world as possible, those Sky People and Grounders that have died were named, as well as all of those who have died since the Pod People started arriving.
After that, the floor was open to people to speak, sing, recite poetry, or anything they can think of. Neville began with himself, which I'll detail in a comment, and then he asked Chancellor Griffin to speak, and Steve Rogers and Asala Adaar. After that, he would ask that people take turns and be courteous.
The dedication ended with the planting of the flowers in the garden, with the farmers helping people individually, as well as anyone who has experience gardening.
