Summer Festival in the MGU

[crashout]

Wherever you are, whoever you are, one minute you’re at home minding your own business and the next you’ll see a shower of sparkles before you blink and find yourself teleported elsewhere.

The elsewhere, it seems, is an open grounds lined with stalls, pathways and gardens. Lanterns light up the pathways in soft glowing oranges and pinks, and even though it’s evening the weather is warm and enjoyable for a fun summer festival.

As you set off to explore, you’ll find that there are countless stalls with every type of treat you can imagine from a variety of cultures (including some from your own home worlds, strangely), all of which smell delicious and enticing. There are other stalls available with different carnival games as well. Go ahead and give it your all! Win a prize for that special someone, or just keep trying out of sheer stubbornness. Other stalls seem to be selling wares such as clothing, household items, flowers, and other things that can be given away as gifts. It seems that every time you look around, a new stall opens, almost as if this festival is responding to your every wish.

Speaking of wishes, there’s a small cluster of bamboo trees nearby as well, tables set up with baskets of arts and crafts supplies to write your wishes on the colorful paper and tie them to a branch. It’s a sweet thought, no?

And of course, what’s a festival without fireworks? Every now and then fireworks will light up the night sky, bursts of color in fun shapes such as stars, hearts, faces of people you know, whatever! Sparklers and bubble wands can also be found to play with throughout the evening near the viewing gardens. Flowers bloom and cover the area, though the paths lead to several small alcove-like areas and gazebos for those of you who wish to have a little romantic privacy. No matter where you are though, you’ll always be able to see the starry night sky.

Do try to play along and enjoy yourself for the evening. It’s only when the last firework bursts several hours later that you can actually leave anyway. Have fun!

[ welp. ]

Not with Alphinaud?

[targon]

I can eat mooncakes forever.

[illuminance]

Then we will just have to keep trying!

[ lux gets back to work... she doesn't really have anywhere to keep a fish so now she's heart-set on winning one for flayn ]

[notaccurate]

[Rigged stalls? What rigged stalls? Luca can win at most of these, given the chance to use his weird science-magic. But he's holding off on being too obvious with that, so far he's just acquired a squid hat via throwing darts at balloons, which he is going to promptly try to pull onto Yuri's head.]

I think that can work. Sweet, or savory?

[silentscout]

[You know how sometimes pets don't recognize you if you change your appearance dramatically and they approach with caution until they're close enough to smell you and then realize who you are?

Yeah, that's kind of what Lalli is doing. He's just staring cautiously as he tries to decide if this is actually Kon or just someone else who looks a lot like him. Because wow that hair dye, it's bright.]

[shortforever]

[I mean. He can win any shooting game with his gravity control, but he has to ask:]

What's the prize?

[malborn]

Nobody wanted to kill you the last time. I imagine they won't this time, either.

[ambiography]

Well, to be completely fair-- neither of us really did, back then. In multiple senses of the phrase.

[the lack of time because sieg was dead, for one thing, but also they were busy with both murder school things and what they had going on at home.]

[malborn]

[scowls from under his hood]

We're not friends. [is that really all you want to argue about, royce]

[wowcool]

[Looks at the selection of stuffed animals on the wall.]

The biggest one we have. [Pointing to a giant blue wolf.]

[shortforever]

[Is there a ball-throwing game? Yes? Well it doesn't matter if it's rigged, because somehow Chuuya is knocking over the pins or getting the ball in the basket perfectly each time. 'Somehow' might be obvious because there is a slight red glow to the objects he is throwing.

If you're standing next to him, he'll even show off a bit too:]

What do you want me to win for you?

[heartmunculus]

[It's Sieg! He's dressed as he always is, Astolfo's sword at his side.]

Thank you. Who are all your friends?

[shortforever]

Alright, sure. I'm sure I'll find something useful to do with it.

[He's going to pick up the gun now. Just how rigged is this game?]

[duranduel]

[me crying because i took mandi with no memories of ritsuka or anyone]

Uh....well. Just sort of wandered until I found a quiet place? They have some gazebos out here, so I wanted to check them out...

[heartmunculus]

Ah... I think we had them at the fair?

[The sparklers, at least.]

[duranduel]

I...see. Hunts souls...? That sounds like such a scary guy!

[duranduel]

...

[LOOKS AT HIM BEING A DATE WHORE...]

I see. Well, it's good that you're doin' it now!

[duranduel]

Not really. Wang Lu doesn't say it that much either.

[papasha]

[He's holding.

This meeting is very funny for a lot of reasons, but most importantly: when Gu Yun turns, this dude is six-foot-five, so maybe Gu Yun will either just keep the flower, or simply tuck it into... I don't know what I'm making Blanca wear.

Do they have yukata this big? He can be in one of his stupid fancy button-ups because he's dumb. Isn't he hot? Yes.]

You should probably keep it to offer a beautiful woman instead.

[lionson]

All I'm saying is that to err is human, and I'm sure you could ask for forgiveness later. Though I'm surprised you don't have other wishes to make instead.

[Shiro's wish paper says "please let my idiot sons pass high school".]

[housewolf]

[Wasn't this the man in... Wait...]

Have we met?

[refate]

[ ducks out of mod talks to tag this really fast because it's hilarious

they're just looking at each other for a moment, before kon raises his hand in a knocking motion. he's trying very hard not to laugh at the expression lalli has as he sizes him up, just kind of - vibing, waiting for him to figure it out. ]

Hi babe.

[battling]

But ya think it's fun to say? Nothin' wrong with doing more... poggers stuff.

[help me]

[wowcool]

Hm?

[He tilts his head.]

I can't say we know each other, no.

[chosenwang]

[ He'll balance the plate on the rail beside him before he hooks an arm around Mandi. Closing his eyes at the kiss. ]

That is true, and it might not be good to share your expressions anyways. They have some masks from sentai series. I think you might enjoy that.

[ Would Mandi be into super sentai? ]
