As you walk through the streets, you see hundreds of people gathering in mass ahead of you. The North Castle Courtyard has been packed with hundreds of citizens eagerly awaiting for something to start...and unlike previous years, it's no mystery as to what that might be. Though for the first and second celebrations few people had been made aware that it was coming, the Third Annual Grand Celebration has been the talk of the town for the past few weeks.

As if your entry was the cue for it's start, fireworks begin to explode in the sky. Excited cries fill the air, matching the fireworks in volume.

Even more exciting is the sight of the castle doors swinging wide open, and the classic majesty of an enormous cake is wheeled out towards the very center of the Courtyard. Many people quickly reach for a piece, only to draw back in horror as they see the man the Knights have going before themselves and the cake: Tingle. The odd fairy-obsessed creature walks out proudly, cuddling a green rupee against his cheek - his payment for once again helping this little event. He seems perfectly contented, not even noticing how his presence is enough to cause people to draw back and away from the pastry masterpiece.

But as soon as the cake reaches the centerpoint of the area, the knights let out a loud "Huzzah!" and Tingle turns to once again begin slaving away at cutting a piece for every single person nearby. People rush forward to where the Hylian Knights start handing out piece after piece.

Spotting you, an adventurer, one of the guards breaks away from the main group, walking over to where you stand. With a smile he holds out a piece cut especially for you. Are you ready to Take the Cake?

OOC: Happy birthday once again, HA2!

After taking the cake, the young boy took only a single bite, before his mother, the Gerudo Labufa, and his daughter, the Gerudo Pirate Lydia, stole it from him and devoured it within seconds. Thank goodness, I hate cake.

Aiden had never seen cake before, let alone one so large. With wide eyes she watched in amazement as people crowded forward. As if in a current Aiden too is swarmed forward by the masses of people. Before she knows it cake is shoved into her hands. With a grin she dodges out of the way. Free.. Eyes shimmering she stuck her finger in the icing then stuck the icing in her mouth. With a grin she let out a squeak and devoured the cake and all the sugar in it.

Orpheous wondered into town at the perfect time, again. He had a way with that. He didn't check his calendar frequently. When he got to the PFH base, he realized that he had said they can close down for the time of the Grand Celebration. It had to be that time again, as it was the only important day coming up in the near future. Noting this, he ran to the courtyard.

After elbowing his way through the crowd, even past his friends, he held out his hands, waiting to be given his slice of cake. After all, nothing comes before the importance of cake, not family or friends. Why? Because this cake was the most brilliantly baked cake ever, in existence. No cake tasted better than this, probably no other food either, and Orpheous needed to make sure he got his slice.

The cake, though being handed out by one such as Tingle, is quickly taken away by any and all people in the area and devoured in an instant. Their taste buds spark as the delicious pastry and icing slide down their throat, and most walk away without a second thought as to what the sensation the cake brings might be.

Some, however, recognize the cake as what it truly is, a TINGLE-filled piece of heaven. New power can be felt emerging within all who eat the tasty treat, hopefully serving to prepare them for the trials of the next year as they continue to protect Hyrule from the dark fates that would befall it.

Kuro had heard something about a celebration only days before. He decided to go to the courtyard to see what all the fuss was about. As he made his way through the crowd, he came across a guard offering cake to the people. Kuro snatched up a piece and devoured it in seconds.

All throughout the celebration, people where happy. In the far back of the crowd, Kasei and Kairos were no exception. Both were smiling. Not the immitation smile that they would give off when they wanted to calm a situation, but a genuine smile at the prospect of another great celebration. Neither, however, would be able to enjoy the delicious cake; they were too busy making sure that absolutely nothing would interfere with the celebration.

Aria and Denkou, on the other hand, were a different Story, and both were close to the front of line. Aria instantly sank her teeth down into the cake, while Denkou simply swallowed the slice whole. Both of them enjoyed it greatly. However, deep in the crowd, one could hear the screams of a lunatic. "THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!"

"Another cake! Another one!..Bless the gods because they are this merciful!"
Azador bashed through the crowd and quickly snatched away another slice, with happy smile he continued his path once again.

Burlo woke up to the sound of explosions--fearing for his life, he quickly tipped his barrel over and wiggled out of the temporary bed. However, he had been drinking quite a bit before falling asleep last night, and his bulging belly couldn't quite make it out of the wooden container, so he ended up wobbling into the Courtyard with his staff drawn, his bloodshot eyes roving around in his sockets, and a metal ring around his stomach. He stood for a moment, dazed, wondering where the attack was. He saw people--twice the population of North Castle--converging on a single point, and knew that was where the enemy must be. Giving a rousing belch, he stumbled forward at the speed of a tortoise. Pushing his way through the crowd in order to strike his foe first, he soon found himself bumping into a strange, red-and-green-clad figure--with a knife! His eyes bulged, and he stumbled backwards. "Ne'er drankin' dis much 'gin, ne'er drankin' dis much 'gin..." He began mumbling over and over with increased intensity as he vied to escape from his horrid hallucination. Turning to dart away, he collided with one of the Guards, and soon found a piece of cake splattered all over his face. He paused for a second, his tongue slowly licking every piece of frosting it could reach, before he dropped to the ground, sitting with arms and legs crossed and a childish pout on his face. "'Tain't rum cake!" He fumed bitterly.

OOC: Will it still count despite me using a non-main character...?

Masses of people bump into each other, trying to snatch a piece from the towering cake, while Xokorn waited patiently for an opening to grab one. He was surprised as to how little time seemed to go by since the last time he had a piece of last year's cake. He remembered the flavor, the feel--moist, dense, and coated with at least a centimeter-thick layer of frosting. Each bite had the tendency to slide past one's tongue before it had the chance to get even a small waft of taste, and one's jaw would seem to vibrate as it chewed blissfully into the fresh pastry.

It was his turn to grab a piece, finally. He clutched it, chewed, and swallowed it--all within a good two seconds.

OOC: Happy birthday, HA2!

OOC has it seriously been another year? It seems like a a few weeks ago when we had the second celebration! of course, the fact that I have been gone for so long probably accounts for some of that... .... and I have decided to completely redo my plot and character. I love my new avatar! It completely fits Leth's new peronality!

IC: Leth stood at the back of the crowd, hood drawn over his eyes, rendering them impossible to see. All that was visible was his nose, mouth, and ragged beard. He was leaning against a wall and smoking his pipe. Drommlin stared up at the sky, watching the fireworks. Leth stood up when they brought out the cake, and slowly advanced towards it patiently through the crowd. When he got there, he graciously accepted a piece and retreated back to his spot by the wall to eat it. Drom, on the other hand, got two pieces, wolfed them down eagerly, and went back for a third.

The young Hylian eyed the single slice of heavenly cake offered by the strange fairy-man, and decided that though the man holding the cake was definitely weird, the cake was perfectly harmless. He extended his hand toward the cake and brought it back to his nose. It emitted a sweet, delicious odor that was well proportioned with the cakes physical beauty. He took a single bite and all the wonderful flavor exploded in his mouth, and he kept digging into it until he noticed it was completely gone.

"Thank you goddesses, for this cake."
