LEA3 (224, 127, 30)
I had the impression the place would be especially laggy with multiple full sized dragon avatars around. What I saw was that many of the dragons were tiny-sized. I also noticed a small number of other tinies about. A few of the dragons were anthros, with two arms and two legs and a tail. I also saw a fae, a foot-high humanoid avie the same height as my micro-fox. There were several of the full-sized dragon avatars that I expected, but they were less than half of the scalies I ran into.
There were a number of musicians invited to perform. I managed to catch the last one, Jana Kyomoon play a performance of ambient music. The gentle tunes pleased the audience, who applauded her performance. Following her, one of the dragons, Onix Harbinger, gave the closing ceremonies, “Thank you everyone for attending our grand summer/fall festival this year. (smile) It has been wonderful fun and a great success!”
Onix declared the festival a success, having raised a good deal of funding for the Tiggywwinkles Animal Hospital, “The festival is now at a close. There will still be ongoing fishing and other bits of fun throughout the day. Cleanup isn't until tomorrow and the next day. And now... lets have some fun... I hearby lift the rules on particles and gesture spam (as long as it is PG) so that we may enjoy some fireworks!”
