Oh this is Angel's first Solstice! Since last year David hadn't even shifted for them yet.
"I'll explain while we work ... No, you can put the stuff wherever you want. I trust your eye, that's why I asked for your help in the first place. I know you don't know much about the holiday but it's not as rigid as Christmas or something ... every moonbound group celebrates it a little bit differently." I know Vamps have The Summit they do for Halloween but I wonder if they also do something for Solstice 👀 maybe clan-specific. And what about moonbound elementals?
"My dad loved the Solstice, it was really special to him. I want to do it justice." 🥹
"I know I've been pretty brief so far around explaining the holiday ... together they're the one recurring event that actually impacts our powers. Each Empowered race is either Sunbound or Moonbound. It doesn't really mean much. It doesn't affect our abilities in any way or at any time aside from the Solstice. For those of us that are Moonbound, on the day of the Winter Solstice our powers spike. We get stronger, inexplicably. Magic comes easier and it's more powerful. We feel energized and revitalized." Is there a list of which magical races are moonbound vs sunbound?
Shifters, Vamps, Stealths, and Earth Elementals are all moonbound.
Fire elementals are sunbound, obviously. I think Water Elementals are moonbound too (at least that's what makes sense to me) So if that's true and elementals are split on the sun/moon bound that would make Air elementals sunbound (ooh two sunbound/moonbound couples in the DAMN crew 👀)*
"No, no it doesn't make me shift, it's not like that. The actual moon doesn't hold any sway over my powers one way or the other. I always do shift on the Solstice because it feels... incredible. It's like nothing else. It's a sacred day to every moonbound empowered. It's a time where we come together with family and friends and celebrate this gift we have."
