The weather was unsettled in the days leading up to Tumultuous, and although Arnari discussed missions with some Freelancers, nobody departed. Cathance stayed in a corner studying a dragonchess problem, and Dryali alternated between shopping trips for spell components and drinking with the other Freelancers.
On the holiday itself, Church of Storms held a parade to Pegasus Square, where the taiko competition was happening. Dryali and Kaikoa got drunk watching the taiko and looked for any Daystar worshippers they could push over. Arnari participated in the taiko, which kept going despite the very appropriate thunderstorm. Tai followed the parade, but it was too much for him and he went to the Temple of Serenity to meditate. Fine Branch sought out people who were causing minor mischief, then granted the blessings of The Cat on them. Ana spent the day trying to ingratiate herself with other magic users, to learn from the illusionists. After a while she gave up and sought the relative dryness of a chill pub.
