glocksuke | Summer Festival in the MGU

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!

[ catch maya snacking on absolutely everything, making colorful wishes or..... harassing you at one of the game booths with the cutest face she can muster ]

Can you win me that big fluffy wolf? Pleeeeease?

[ hmm. in another universe he might have been softer towards her but you know. that was in another time but in this instance, he's just going to look down at her and just ????

who are you? he was just taking a look. ]

And is there a reason why I should go about doing that?

[ i was rereading stuff the other day actually, weeps ]

Why not? It could be fun to show off your skills, right?

Plus, that wolf looks so lonely...

[ nooooooo. i'm sad. what brought you there even...

that aside, law will be looking at maya then to the wolf and raise an eyebrow. you think that's going to work on him? ]

I don't see why I'd need to go showing off any kind of skills just because. If there were skills to show off in this situation.

[ i was showing nu heart games ]

Awww, don't be so modest.

I don't suppose you'd do it just to make a cute girl smile, would you? We could even share custody!

[ so generous ]

[ my heart game..... ]

Share custody? That sounds even worse than your first suggestion.

[ is it generous? ]

Geez, tough crowd around here!

[ everyone is so grumpy.... ]

[ cute... but being cute is exactly why majima is inclined to give her a hard time. mean!! he looks down at her when she comes up to him, one eyebrow raised. ]

Haw? What's in it for me?

What about a cute girl's smile....? And the feeling of pride when you defeat this stall, once and for all?

[ can you resist this sparkly shoujo face, majima ]

Sure!

[yona grins! what kind of game is this? i've just decided it's an archery game. she's probably not supposed to use her own bow for this, but she's nocking an arrow anyway.]

One big fluffy wolf, coming right up!

[ yona is her new favorite in the whole world ]

Wow, you're an archer? That's so cool!

[ just like niichan ]

Show me ya moves!

[she does in fact show off her moves!!

thwack goes the arrow, solidly smacking into the target right in the bulls-eye. the person running the game, who has rigged it so that most of the arrowheads are too blunt to stick, looks flabbergasted.]

Hah!

[ gasping!!! at her skills! but also how it's clearly rigged ]

W-What the heck?! You totally had it!

[shh no it's fine it stuck because she used her own arrow and the gamerunner is flabbergasted because if she'd used his it wouldn't have stuck]

There's something kind of fishy about how surprised he looks, don't you think...?

Hmm... There really is...

[ squinting suspiciously ]

Hey, mister, we're onto you! But you can buy our silence... For that wolf, and...

[ whispers: ] Which prize do you want?

[she whispers back:]

Oh! I want that dragon! The black one!

[meanwhile the gamerunner just deadeyes them both. this is extortion...]

[ maya gives yona a wink and then returns to her extorting ]

The black dragon and the wolf! Either that, or we tell everyone what you've been doing to us. I'll even cry!

[ maya's like i will weaponize my army of big bros ]

[well. this isn't a face he was expecting to see, and it's why there's a pause as he looks briefly affronted. maybe a little concerned. mostly confused. this is all very quickly happening before he seems to settle on an emotion.]

Miss Fey, perhaps it would be more rewarding to earn it yourself? [that is to say no. miles edgeworth will not cow to the whims of a teenage girl today! probably.]

[ important question does he look normal or monstery ]

[ hold up ]

Mr. Edgeworth??! Is that really you?

[ just gonna poke his cravat to make sure she's not hallucinating him ]

[STOP HE'S NORMAL which means he's a different kind of monster but it's fine. he looks very much like regular edgeworth.]

I beg your pardon--not the cravat. [no!! he takes a step back and tries to appear unruffled.] Of course it's me. Though I must say I'm surprised to see you here.

[ edgeworth no... maya has a scar across her face but otherwise looks normal ]

[ she also seems satisfied of his edgeworthness ]

That's my line! Since when do you get kidnapped? You're kinda copying me, here....

[her face :( he does seem to look a little concerned about that but it quickly disappears. none concern. no feelings!

...which is hard when he's from a timeline a little further than hers, but still.]

I hardly think it's copying, Miss Fey. And this isn't a kidnapping. This is...[hm...] Research.

[nailed it.]

Does Wright know that you're here? [for being smart, miles has not figured out exactly what it means that maya's actually here.]

[ don't be concern, edgeworth. she is scanning him for any injuries as well... ]

Geez.... you can just admit you got kidnapped, you know! You won't lose any prosecutor clout or anything.

[ .... ]

[ hm. she looks guilty. ]

... No. I don't think he knows you are, either.

[ he'd probably lose his mind.... ]

But this isn't a kidnapping. In this case I recognize far too many people for it to be considered such. [...but he frowns a bit at that.]

I very much doubt he does, yes. [he says, like he didn't leave for europe a year ago and hasn't really done well keeping up with phoenix anyway.] Perhaps it would be best to find a way to return you to him soon.

[because at the end of the day maya is a teenage girl and should be kept safe.]

[ .... ]

Well, I don't think it's quite as simple as all that...

[ or that they have any control over what's going to happen to them.... but she doesn't say that out loud. ]

Anyway! Um, why don't you and I get some snacks and catch up? It's been a while since we saw each other, right?

[ and maya definitely thinks edgeworth has been thru an mg ]
