Winter holiday: The Dawning

[risenintothevoid]

Hello again Nexus-goers, it's that time of year once again! In previous years we have had winter holiday events from all sorts of universes, from Hogwarts to Norse Yule to Lucifer himself. This year, our official Nexus winter holiday event is going to be a bit more low-key, a smaller moment of reflection and friendship as a Light against the Dark, as the Guardians bring the Dawning to the Nexus.

On December 17th, there will be a booth set up in the Nexus thoroughfare to bake and hand out cookies to all passersby, and offer an opportunity to light a floating lantern if you so desire. The spirit of giving and warmth is the core of the Dawning, and if friends wish to meet up here to exchange gifts, they are welcome to do so.

This is intended to be a small scale event this year, a small center of calm and peace as we usher out the year that was 2020.

Making his long overdue Return....

[juststeverogers]

Steve (and Nike!) will be helping out at the cookie station both to help decorate and hand out treats as well as making the lanturns.

This will be Steve's debut in the Nexus as a Guardian. He has not been here since the events of Endgame.

Note: As a Guardian, Steve does not have memories of his life before he died. This will be a bittersweet reunion for some old friends of his. I am down for both new meetings and more somber reunions for this. DM me if you have questions on what Steve's revival as a Guardian entails if you're a bit lost on what's been going on on his journal for the last year or so!

Amelia will not be ready but I so am. Bring on the reunion! :D

Ooh and double Oh. That's very fitting and bittersweet.

[conjuredskies]

A whole lot of otherworldly cookies to be taste-tested? Guardians aside, this sounds like a job for a certain conjurer (and anyone he can drag along with him).

[betashiftblues]

Rrreally.

[conjuredskies]

Norn wouldn't leave him to handle that much dessert by himself, surely.

[jarheadclan]

The sign of a true Tamrielic mage is the willingness to put anything and everything in your mouth to see what it does.

[conjuredskies]

Exactly! It's practically science!

[pretendyfuntiems]

I have a few pups that would love this, some are a bit newly-created, but I'd love the chance to bring them out and interact. <3

[kinderguardians]

Crow can have cookie? :0

[magnetite_plz]

Can has many!

[risenintothevoid]

Crow can has cookie! :D

Be advised, the Guardians doing most of the handing-out-of-cookies are D1 era, so they are quite far pre-Forsaken and don't know Uldren kills Cayde eventually. I haven't decided whether Aegis would recognize Crow as Uldren or not (politics, who pays attention to those, shrug), but I definitely want to get your input on how you want to let your boy interact with fellow Guardians. :3 He deserves some friends, imo.

[kinderguardians]

yes!

[kinderguardians]

All Crow wants is frens to be honest. Lonely bird he is.

And no worries about the recognition thing. In lore bits he wears a helmet when off Tangled Shore so I can always just have him be shy and and have it on if you haven't decided yet :)

[magnetite_plz]

I'm sorry all I can see is:

Guardians: Happy Dawning Hunter! *cookies*

Crow, awkwardly accepting cookies he has to wait until no one's looking to stuff into his face.....

How does Shaxx do it with his helmet on...?

[risenintothevoid]

LMAO

[risenintothevoid]

Most of my decision was waiting to see how you wanted to handle it, honestly. ;) I don't want anyone to spring his former identity on him if you don't want it to happen, so she can just go hey you look familiar but idk where from, if you like. It'd be fairly in character for her if she's never met him face to face.

[higginbottom]

This sounds so cute! I know I haven't been active lately (ugh work, etc), but I would love to participate with my muses. They might not have gifts to give, but they would enjoy the lantern lighting. <3

[delphicbooksandbaubles]

Just got to say. That picture is adorable :3 <3

[coldsong]

If you have anything in particular you wanted to do with Loki I'm game, but I think he's inclined to not borrow trouble so he may just give Steve a few funny looks and tell him he looks like someone he used to know and leave it at that.

[juststeverogers]

Steve has been told by Blaze, Ghost, and Thor by now a bit about who he Was and his face is on display in the Nexus when they arrive so he'll be very much in "I get that a lot" mode.

I'm only half serious but now Steve can bond with Loki over dying a lot. I'd love to get a thread of sorts going looking at Loki as "Thor's Brother" before everything else. There's no longer baggage there on Steve's end, and if them talking is going to give Blaze a small synthetic heart attack then bring on the plot >:3

[juststeverogers]

Yes good gib Nike frens

[rekindledtitan]

Wait, what?

[coldsong]

Haha! Maybe we'll play it by ear then, and see how chatty and trollish Loki feels like being.

[juststeverogers]

If it helps we might be able to ask Ael to have Thor introduce them. He'd know that Steve was going to be there :3

[pirateangelbaby]

I am 100% down for this!
