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!

Oof. [ fuck, hello, freight train beau. he does a half-hop sideways before he catches them both, accepting the corndog. ]

Did you know they make breakfast versions of these? With sausage and pancake.

[disreguarded]

[she just has this expression for a second because that sounds fucking delicious]

[refate]

[ he pokes her in the cheek with the corndog before he takes a bite, talking with it in his cheek. ]

S'not hard to make. Good with mustard like these are, or with maple syrup. Or both. Who am I to judge.

[disreguarded]

Dude. We're gonna introduce corn dogs to Exandria.

[do corn dogs exist there already? maybe. anyway. she wrinkles her nose at the poke, and then takes a bite out of her own.]

... This place is like, way more dope than school.

[refate]

I will introduce whatever the hell you want to Exandria, to be honest. Maybe I'll innovate some shit while I'm at it.

[ the internet comes out of the cobalt soul. anyways, he puts his arm around her lazily, chewing and thinking. ]

It's like the cultural festival? But actually better because we're not waiting for the weekend to roll around.

[disreguarded]

[she leans on him, arm around him as well.]

Shitton of interesting people, too. [thoughtfully...] It's a little alarming how many people have been through shit like Wiwaldi, but.

[refate]

It's an alumni gathering of shithole murder universes. Not comforting. [ in before wiwaldi people show up in CRAU2 and holler. ] Though, I guess this is an overarching power being nice to us for five minutes with a summer festival.
