Visual - Full Moon

[blamemysister]

Hello everypony, I have just enough time in my schedule to announce that the summer Full Moon is upon us. A blue moon is scheduled for the 31st of this month, and if you wish to share your moon cakes with one another then now is the time.

The moon cake festival was an old tradition back in my own Equestria, as a marker for the mid-summer to leap into fall. Thus being said, I will be raising a Blue Moon that night in honor of that tradition.

Moon cake recipes for those who are not aware, will be listed under the following locations with fliers handed out. And I hope you will all take time to make some for your friends and loved ones.

When did this tradition start...? Maybe I can bring it back with me when I return to the future.

Re: [Visual]

In my world, the Earth Ponies began the tradition, as to celebrate the harvests of the new land that would become Equestria. It was also picked up by the Dragons of the Eastern Countries as well.

I really wish there was a memory orb of that... It would be really nice to see it first hoof. All I can do is start it up again...

Think we can make a moon cake together, mom?

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

I could share the dream, but that's about it. I was very young when the festival began.

Of course! I wouldn't have it any other way.

[mostcolorfulepithets]

I'd like that.

Great. I'll meet you up at... actually, I'll let you choose where we meet.

So what was involved in the festival?

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

Good!

Lets meet up at your place then. I'll bring the ingredients over.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

It was the sharing of specially shaped cakes, shaped like the moon. It was a sign of affection and friendship.

[Visual]

[mostcolorfulepithets]

Sure thing. I'll get everything ready. The pots and pans and stuff.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

There needs to be more traditions like that.

I'd be happy to help everypony in making these cakes. Several cultures back in my world have similar traditions involving the moon during this time of the year.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

Good, I will be there in a few minutes!

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

It is a festival I have sorely missed out on for many a year. I do not wish to miss it again.

Re: [visual]

[blamemysister]

I have heard such a thing happening in other worlds, yes. I would love very much to gain aid in making the cakes.

[Visual]

[mostcolorfulepithets]

I'll see you, then.

[Littlepip rolls up the scroll and begins getting the required pots and pans out for the moon cakes. She's really glad she gets to make something with Luna. Once ready, she waits at the door to her apartment.]

You won't have to worry. If my ovens can handle baking a wedding cake, then making it rain moon cakes won't be a problem at all. Of course I don't mean that literally.

Would it be alright if I made some other foods that are eaten during such festivals too?

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

[Luna arrives shortly, knocking on the door. She has a mix of ingredients, all of them old time in nature.]

Re: [visual]

[blamemysister]

Good then. I have a full kitchen as well, but I fear i lack the ability to cook in large batches due to size constraints.

I would be delighted if you do. I am only aware of the cakes at this time.

[Littlepip perks up and opens the door, letting Luna in.]

Thanks for coming and doing this with me, mom.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

I can imagine not. And not a moment too soon with what's been going on.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

Your marefriend is offering to let us make as much as possible.

[Subtle Luna.]

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

Of course! Anything for my girl. [She grinned, hugging Littlepip gently.]

I haven't made these in ages, since I was a filly. I hope I remember how to do it all.

[Visual]

[mostcolorfulepithets]

[Littlepip hugs back, a grin on her face.]

We'll be able to get it finished together. Let's get started on it, okay?

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

Very well! Let us begin.

[And placing the items on the table, Luna went to wash her hooves.] Fashioning the treats are a Earth Pony tradition, and I do love playing with dough.

Re: [Visual]

[namedforcat]

Saori? Ah, well, is anyone surprised that she would offer to do so?
