Day 99,

No time for a long entry to dream diary the Catacomb nightmares.  Need to finish getting dressed up as a shade and go out.  Good thing I took the camping bedroll upstairs to the entry room where there are windows.  Definitely would have overslept.

Ended up in the shade costume until noon.  The no shadows thing was pretty cool, if a bit surreal.  Met up with Lin and Cass after.  Taking a moment to sit down and relax while they go and grab us something to eat.  Vernon’s busy doing official festival directing things with the other mediators.  No sign of that fisherman, what was his name?  That’s right, Tristan.  Then again, it’s a big crowd.  Didn’t realize how many people there were in the outskirts and farms until they all showed up at once.

Time to go up on stage in a few minutes.  Feel like I’m going to vomit.  Just need to listen to Cass and Lin’s encouragement.  I’ll be fine.  I’ll be fine.

I am dead tired, maybe a little drunk, and public speaking sucks.  At least I have friends to pick me back up afterward.
