Greeting, brothers, sisters, respected friends and allies.

In honor of two young Matari who will be undergoing the Voluval this Saturday at 1800 EVE time, Skadi's Call will be hosting a celebration and feast from 1900 until... whenever the booze, food, and fun runs out!

All Minmatar in good standing are invited to attend the ceremony and following celebration, as are non-Matari members of Minmatar-loyal organizations and respected allied organizations and individuals. I would ask that during the Voluval ritual itself, people be on their best behaviour. We will have plenty of food, consisting of traditional Minmatar cuisine (lots of meat!) and, of course, a vegetarian selection for those who do not wish to consume meat. Drinks will consist of several types of spirits, generously donated by Yuni, a selection of fine wines, and an assortment of beers, including Skadi's Call's house brew, prepared by our brewmaster, Charity Black. This is a formal ocassion, in a Matari sense, and will likely be a somewhat rowdier get together than some may be used to; weapons will not be permitted on the premises for safety's sake. Dress accordingly.

We will have raffles, perhaps a few contests of skill or endurance, and gifts for all who attend, as well as of course, food, drink, music, and comraderie for all. Help us welcome two young Matari to their roles as adults within our society, and bring hearty appetites!

Please, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Note; Enemies of Skadi's Call or the Minmatar people are not welcome. We will not ask you to leave the premises; odds are far greater you will wind up staying permanently.

Avlynka Surionen, aka, Ava Starfire

(( Edit; the channel for the event will be our public RP channel, "Skadi's Hall". ))

Surionen,

I would request clearance to attend this demonstration of an aspect of your people's culture. I will, of course, arrive unarmed and follow the expectations of behavior and dress to my greatest understanding.

If it were permissible, I would also request to set up and man a tea kiosk in the spirit of communion and sharing and will leave cultural ceremony surrounding tea making out of it.

Respectfully,

You and your organization are of course welcome to attend, Malcolm.

And yes, you may make your tea, and please, include the ceremony.

Experiencing another's culture will not diminish one's own, after all.

I was going to ask the same question but I guess that I would not be welcome.

Out of curiosity, weren't you planning to join the Caldari militia ?

I have never witnessed a voluval rite, would it be possible to arrange accomodations for me to attend?

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend due to obligations that will have me tied me up for the majority of this Saturday and Sunday.

Please extend my congratulations to the two Matari who are to become adults.

I regret that I won't be there. Perhaps you would be able to accommodate a visit on a separate date, Ava, for just myself to meet your members?

I-RED are, of course, welcome to attend. I look forward to seeing you there, Katrina, Simca.

Halete, sometime, yes, I would be able to meet with you.

Captain Farel, it is with a heavy heart that I say that I believe it would be in the best interest of all involved if you did not attend. Relations between us seem to be quite strained just now, and as I have no idea *what* your stance is on the conflict, nor my people, I cannot call you "ally" concretely at this time. My sincerest apologies.

A Matari party. How is this something someone can miss?

Ava, simply enquiring.

Would it be permissable to bring my daughter and her redoubtable entourage along? The immense value of observing the voluval rituals outside of her own clan for herself would be incalculable for one such as she. Her Grandmother has recently started to talk to her about these matters in a manner she can begin to digest at her age and she does have the inquisitive nature. She would be chaperoned by both myself and her Grandmother, with your permission.

If , however, you deem the event, or portions thereof, not appropriate for younger children, then that's absolutely understandable and correctly responsible on your part.

Regards,

AA

Young children are perfectly welcome, sister, and perhaps their presence will keep things from getting too rowdy, eh?

It is your decision, if you wish her to come and witness the ritual, please, bring her along!

My heart yearns to join brothers and sisters for this time of spiritual joy, but pressing matters on my home planet may make attendance impossible. I will offer up songs to the spirits on behalf of the spirit conductor, essence instructors and those undergoing the voluval.

If you don't mind me, I'll see if I am able to make it as well. It has been a long time since I attended one.

Seraphim, Halete, you will be missed. I will send some of the food and a bottle of wine, as it will be a feast not to be missed!

Ethan, Gottii, Kentt, I am looking forward to seeing you there!

The spirits of my kin are with you on this day Ava.
I only regret that I cannot be there in person.

I will make offerings to the spirits that the rites are a boon to these new faces as they join their brothers and sisters for the second time.

May they, and you, live well.
