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!

[duranduel]

[Wow!]

[It's an introvert's worst nightmare!]

[Catch Mandricardo hurrying over to one of the gazebos or alcoves because you will NOT catch him in the crowd, bye, he isn't here! Let him Be Gloomy.]


[Eventually, he will creep out from his hiding place and look up at the fireworks, before pointing:]

H-Hey, that's Principal Bear!

[steelo]

[ just

looking around them ]

...I didn't think he came with me...?

[duranduel]

I...aw. He didn't?

[Looking around too!! PRINCIPAL BUSTER BEAR WHERE ARE YOU]

[battling]

[ There he goes.

Bradley will approach him a little with a small plate of creampuffs. ]

Not your scene, huh?

[duranduel]

No...

[A sigh.]

There's a lot of people here I don't know...that's kinda nerve-wracking...

[battling]

Different faces than at the school. Wonder if they all went though some bullshit.

[ He hands Mandi a pastry. ]

[duranduel]

Y-You mean-! They all got captured by stories...? Wow...

[Takes the pastry.]

That's so much...and um. Thanks.

[battling]

Who knows! Haven't talked to 'em all.

[ He's biased and has favorites. ]

Besides this seems light-hearted and whatever.

[ "Hello, have you recently been forced to play a part for a story's amusement?" What kinda opening is that? ]

[duranduel]

Yeah, it does...

I wonder who made it happen? Either way, nice of them, I suppose.

[azuta]

[iris was probably looking for him, in the middle of carrying some slips of paper and a little tray of food over to the gazebo - but she pauses to look up at the sky and laughs]

So it is! Wow, what a celebrity.

[duranduel]

Y-Yeah, I guess he is...

[But he turns, beaming wide when he sees it's Iris.]

Ah! It's good to see ya, Iris!

[azuta]

[this cutie.... she smiles back easily]

Hehe, it's good to see you too. I had a feeling it was you running off... So I thought I'd bring some festivities to you?

[holding up both the food and the paper!! so that mandi can also have fun and participate without dealing with the crowd]

[duranduel]

O-Oh, Iris, you didn't need to...

[But it's obvious he's very touched by the gesture, bowing his head a little in thanks.]

Thank you. Wanna, um, sit somewhere?

[azuta]

Didn't need to - just wanted to.

[so easily, giving a smile back]

Of course! How's the view from the gazebo?

[duranduel]

The gazebo is pretty good. Nice and quiet.

[The perfect place...]

[chosenwang]

[ He'll approach with an offering for the Gloomy King to help lure him out. ]

How am I supposed to show off my game skills if you're all the way over here. [ Holding the plate out. ]

Want to try some?

[duranduel]

Uh, well, I just got overwhelmed...

[And....WOW.]

Sure! Um. Wow. They have stuff like that here?

[chosenwang]

[ Time to perch on the gazebo railing. ]

Stuff like this and a bunch more. Looks like whomever is running this place went all out on the types of food. If you ask nice enough, I could be convinced to fetch my King something else.

[ Grabbing the fork to stab a strawberry and offer it over ]

[duranduel]

Y-You don't need to. Come on, I'm the Servant here.

[But he'll lean forward to bite the strawberry off!]

[chosenwang]

A Master should be taking care of their Servant.

[ Getting some of the funnel cake with the next strawberry to hold up to him. ]

Just as a husband should be caring for their wife. [ Giving a wink ]

[1stknight]

[WELL.

Of course Bedivere is going to follow after Mandi. No being gloomy, not when friends/allies/'we serve the same Master probably so team Ritsuka go' are about.]

I didn't think you would be one for such festivities. How did you find yourself out here?

[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...

[1stknight]

[OH NO MANDI...Bedivere is just going to keep going like they know each other because that's what he's assuming here.]

Ahh, I see. Too much noise in the main stretch?

[He's understanding at least?]

[duranduel]

[POOR BEDI...]

Yeah, you could say that. And there's so many people here I don't know...

[1stknight]

If you would like, you could stay here for a while to work up your courage? And if you need anything, I can bring it to you.
