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!
[ooc: you know the drill, past mg characters from any of our past games, please don't make me list them again but go nuts.]

catch him at the fish pool Very Carefully trying to catch a teeny goldfish with minimal luck. there's a least one fish and about six nets next to him but look sometimes... you are meant for stabbing, not catching... ]
Perhaps I require something other than such a flimsy device.
no subject
Oh, but I don't have a cauldron with me...
no subject
I suppose the challenge is to be able to do win regardless of the weapon in hand.
[ which just means he squares his shoulders to try again. hhhhhhh TONBO FIGHTO ]

What are you going to do with it, Tonbokiri-san?
no subject
Perhaps Aruji would like one in their room....?
no subject
[Looking thoughtfully at the fish...]
Do you think Kiyomitsu would like one?
no subject
[ smiles knowingly ]

Stupisada, on the other hand, brightens up]
Then we’ll get some! I’m sure the others will like them too. [if nothing else, the tantou will be entertained]

[she pouts up at him... so many fish are getting away from them.......]
no subject
Indeed..... One wonders how others manage to win not one but many of them.
[ it's called cheating, tonbo ]

[ he squints dubiously at his scooper ]
If a child far smaller than us can win this game, I'm sure we will figure it out eventually.

Really, Tonbo-kun? Kintoki-san and Sakana-san's bowl is already quite cramped as is...
no subject
I thought perhaps Aruji would like one of their very own.
no subject
[ as he watches tonbo try to catch a fishie, he bends down and holds his stick of dango in front of the yari's mouth. look at him, he is a caring partner! ]
no subject
[ watch him multi task as he grabs a bite of dango, intently plot his next course, and design aruji's gift all at the same time.
no subject
[ he grins as he leans upon tonbo further. it's like he always says—even if the whole experience was a hellish one, there were still some parts worth remembering, enough that he can't bring himself to take any of it back. ]

These things are supposed to be kinda rigged, aren't they? Maybe we just need to catch them with our hands.
no subject
I assumed the challenge simply is using such unsavory methods to prove them wrong.
[ not that he's getting far with that tho ]
no subject
You're probably right, but you know what we do with challenges, right? We find another way when the first one doesn't work. [i.e. you cheat!]
no subject
I don't suppose you have any hints, then?
