Hospitality in Any Medium:
Hosted by:
Amba
Hospitality: What did hospitality mean to your persona? Would you present a guest with a drinking cup? Provide housing in the barn for any traveling holy persons? Or, if you are traveling, how did you thank your hosts for hospitality? Sing a song? Write them a story? Work in the fields for a few days? Bless their crops?
Instruct and entertain as you share items and customs of Hospitality related to your chosen historical period.
Cursing/Swearing/Insult in any medium
Hosted by:
Padraigin
The theme is hospitality, yet with the good comes the bad, and your gracious hospitality is taken advantage of. Guests overstay their welcome. Travelers just passing by eat you out of house and hearth. Neighbors borrow your tools and never return them. And then there is just that one villager you CANNOT STAND, and you don't know why. Look at how they eat crackers. Man, how you hate how they eat crackers.
Using period curse words, swear words, insults, taboo language in any medium, how would your persona make it known you are less than hospitable to those who take advantage of your good nature (or just don't like YOU AND YOUR CRACKERS GET AWAY FROM ME, -insert popular medieval name here-).

Hospitality Table:
Hosted by:
the Wayward Sisters
Once upon a time, two Wayward sisters entered Aldi's (hungry) to grab a few snacks for the upcoming event. Just a few, to tide them over while they visited and cheered on those fighting in Crown. A HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER (mostly in cheese), they realized, "We bought too much!" Thus, the Wayward Sisters Hospitality table was born. Please. Have some cheese. Take an olive or a pickle for the road. At almost every event, you can find us near our hospitality table, offering a place to rest and fill your cup and bellies.
Now it's your turn. How would you welcome the road-weary stranger? What foods and drinks would you offer them?
Guidelines and elements our secret judge is looking for:
Above all, a genuine warmth, welcoming, and hospitable environment
Ingredient list handy. It doesn't have to be out, but it should be handy should someone ask.
