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!

[ Bradley, eating a stick of dango: ]

Depends on the person you're dating.

[sengokus]

[HE TAKES A GIANT CHOMP OF HIS COTTON CANDY]

[battling]

Oooh.

You're just a huge romantic sap! Yeah, anybody you'd date would be into this.

[there is a very real moment where white almost punches mineo because that's his reflex when experiencing an emotion overload]

[enfangs]

[anyway]

Well, I suppose I can grant you the honour of spending time with the great White!

[liuli]

Does that mean you might actually be able to find one, or no?

Maybe I shouldn't.

[okitactless]

[I'm coming at you with the other one in a second but for now take this]

IS IT?!

[WHY ARE WE YELLING, RANDOM GUY]

[sengokus]

[oh we're about to have two entirely different conversations again]

IT IS!! [ok]

It's like - totally the set-up for it, even though I'm really not clear on what the celebration is?! Where even are we.... Why have we brought to such a hot date spot...

[oh we're misunderstanding so many things today]

[shiftingwinds]

I'd say so, yes!

[shi qingxuan doesn't seem at all bothered by the volume. she just seems amused, really.]

Sooo... who's your date, Mineo?

[sengokus]

[help]

Uh - Shi-san...! I, uh....

[looking embarrassed]

I dunno.... Do you think we're supposed to ask people?

[fisherwoman]

[muttered:]

Embarrassing...

[sengokus]

Ghk—

I already messed up our reunion, Endorsi?!

[discernments]

[ Jeanne smiles at his excitement, and she nods with food in her hands, too. ]

What's the thing you want to do most here with someone?

[ What's your peak summer fes activity, Mineo? ]

[silentscout]

[Why are you so loud.

Lalli is taking a step away from Mineo because rude, those were his ears! But 'date activities' does catch his attention, so.]

Is it?

[holeful]

Don't you need a date for that, Mineo?

[Hi. His tail is wagging at the sight of Mineo, though.]
