Mauriell Somata/Events
1230
Phoenix Fest 1230
As part of the Arcane Science Division, Mauriell's contributions to Phoenix Fest 1230 were rather minimal. Most of their time was spent on demonstrations about Fire Aether, simply teaching others about the element and its properties. However, during his off hours, he often stopped by Eleanor Valentine's stand of knick-knacks for guidance, trinkets, and to deliver her some treats from Bunny Burrows's Sugar Cube caravan, which he himself frequented due his love for sweets and to try the CinnaBomb being sold. She insisted she tried it "for the sake of science", but the free daily sweets being offered to whoever could stomach it tells a different story. Mauriell was also recruited by Tia Alequin into a party to hunt a aether-charged boar for her Grand Bonfire Feast during the festival, with this sparking a dormant desire for adventure within her. As a healer, they tried their best to assist their party members and were paid handsomely for their efforts, taking a few sliced of the smoked meat home once prepared, as well as getting a single smooch from Tia herself.
Gourdfest 1230 / The Stageplay of Frights
Mauriell celebrated Gourdfest as they do every year, dressing up as an Ice Spirit due to their staunch beliefs in their existence. During the holiday, he attended the Kalebass Olli clashes, participating in its rhyming chants, and the Gourdfest Masquerade hosted by The Radiant Eagle family, participating in its open mic with some whimsical hymns.
Later in the holiday, she made the decision to join a call for adventurers heading into a Pitfall-level Dungeon in Alula, having been recruited by Selena Idris of the Wayfarers Division. They traveled alongside her, Astrophel Argentum, Hyalt Keylen, Jaina Ryder, Ruairi Cromwell in a carriage, singing together and being acquainted before arriving at Alula and heading into the dungeon a few days later. After getting his ticket from the mysterious ticket stand and the dungeon's path splits, he headed into the puzzling Hall of Comedy, followed only by Hyalt and Meridian Synastra, where Meridian performed a soliloquy, he pied a crying shadowy actor and started a pie fight, and Hyalt broke open an hourglass containing the rest of the actor with her arrows and claiming the Mask of Comedy.
Rejoining with the rest of the party from the Hall of Tragedy as well as emergency newcomers, Mauriell acts as support for those attacking the playwright, trying her best to keep up with how many people were present and already wounded from their hallway. After a combined attack with Hyalt, Jaina was knocked unconscious, and being led by Iris Opalina, Mauriell and Pendra attempt to bring her to safety, before Astrophel tears through them in a blinded rage, cutting through Mauriell's efforts and severely wounding them. All while this is happening, the stage has caught fire due to Selena and Ruairi's Fire Aether, and Meridian briefly caught the attention of the playwright with her attempt at an audition, but got too frightened to finish it, causing the playwright to scatter its papers all over the stage. One paper floats its way to Mauriell, designating a role for the "hero", and despite his hesitation, confusion, and injuries, he pushes himself onto the flaming stage, resisting Jun'ichi Nogami's attempts to restrain him down. Handed the Mask of Comedy by Hyalt and the Mask of Tragedy by Nivian, who freezes the stage's broken floorboards for them, Mauriell puts on the masks, being healed up by Eleanor Valentine. She performs on the ice, dancing and singing a song from her childhood, one sung in her childhood choir about the change of seasons. The performance... exhausts them, and with only a moment of peace afterwards, they quickly fall unconscious just before Leo Eridanus gets in the finishing blow.
He recovered outside and immediately report to Hanzekihel Oulieus, despite his insistence that he rest fully, visited by Hyalt and visiting Papa Keali's stand for sustenance and hydration. Through the week, she tried to celebrate Alula's Whisperween as much as she can with how little energy she has, primarily found in the theatre area and only spectating rather than joining in, once meeting with Ruairi and reassuring him of his ability to learn from his actions. However, something about them has felt rather off ever since the dungeon...
Sundance 1230
After the events of Gourdfest, Mauriell's mental state tanked, and they spent most of the preparation time for the holiday alone. On the day of Sundance however, early before the sun even rose, he placed a Wish Tag addressed to "anyone, please" onto a tree in Eversun City, before isolating himself for the rest of the year in his lab. As of now, it is uncertain if that Tag was ever picked up.
Mauriell herself received a tag from Ella, Selena, and one of their older brothers.
