• Jellicle Ball 2023 begins

    From Community Cats@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 28 18:02:06 2023
    As kitties enjoy the refreshments provided by the locals, they also
    notice that the sun is descending towards the horizon. As the sky
    darkens, torches can be see approaching through the woods and greenery.
    Local cats and dogs approach, led by an elderly kitty with curled ears.
    The Community kitties stand and follow the locals.

    Everybody files into the meeting house, and as they enter they see
    torches around the edge of the room, with many candles arranged to
    provide light throughout the room. A raised rock platform in the middle
    of the room stands waiting. The elderly cat, named Oineko, takes the
    dais and speaks. Luko and Jack stand near the edges of the dais,
    translating the words into ASL C/D.

    "My friends and family, thank you for joining us here this evening. Our
    purpose is to remember those of our community who have preceded us to
    the Rainbow Bridge. They have played important roles in our lives, and
    us in theirs. Now Mister Samuel Redcat will read the names of our loved
    ones."

    [Sammy makes his way slowly to the dais.]

    Hihi, efurrybody. This is a very mixed time for us all. Our memories of
    our loved ones bring us smiles and happy thoughts, while the knowledge
    that they are parted from us brings us heartache.

    always, the first name called is to remember the lives of those who died without being a part of a human family.

    Luko and Jack note the position of the hunters moon. They chat with
    the band then move to chairs on the other side. They are ready to help
    the deaf or hard of hearing members.

    They will play along with angi's song but less loudly.
