I'd say after. Say they had their secret meeting already and they'd gotten a plan together (even though we don't have one yet). The festivals in a week, and after the plan was put together, I was just gonna timeskip us to the festival and have everyone summarize what they wanted to do in the week going up to festival in that opening timeskip post. Right now we can just be exploring something that went on during that week leading up to the festival if we do want to make this canon. Maybe even tie it in to main chapter stuff as something they need for the plan or something that can help curry favor with the Lucestor so they aren't so suspicious looking and can sneak around enacting their plan. Ohhhh, maybe I'll add Hunter in here to give him and Mateo some development.
