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!

[iris has been trying, and failing, to get exactly this plush bear for a little while now??? but she's impressed by the shot, politely applauding - and laughing when it's offered out to her]

Oh, so I've become a work of charity now...

[she's clearly teasing, but seems content to take the bear regardless]

But ah - thank you. I know a child who'd love this.

[impurities]

Certainly not. [ laughing, as well, but all polite and good manners with these rich ferals. ] But I'd rather share the wealth than take it for myself. The game is fun enough on its own.

[ not that it's necessarily hard, but getting around the rigged system has been the fun part. ]

Of course - though a child? Does that mean there might be more that would like a few more prizes?

[azuta]

[that makes her laugh]

A whole troupe of them in fact... but I'm afraid I haven't had the same luck with the game.

[even if she can figure out how it's rigged, she's not a good enough shot to take the prizes without a lot of trial and error. sad]

But if a kind sir already finds it enjoyable...

[impurities]

[ sad... chang geng reaches to take another arrow off of the booth's counter, nocking it but holding the bow down without drawing. ]

I don't see any issue with some harmless fun, especially if it benefits a troupe of children. [ not everyone was him when he was a kid, being the "no fun police." they can have nice things. ] Let's clean a booth out.

[azuta]

They practically invited us to do so when they beckoned us so forcefully, don't you think?

[iris: if you're going to kidnap me i don't see any issue with taking every single thing i want before i leave]

[impurities]

I do. And while it's preferable to our previous stays elsewhere, I imagine, it still does demand some recourse for disrupting us in our homes again.

[ :handshake: but he'll take aim again -

chang geng fires and hits childe instead
