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!

[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.]

[ that gets a little bit of an odd look, at first?

... he recovers quickly, though, and smiles, hands behind his back. ]

My apologies. I didn't mean to sound so crass - I was being quite serious. At any rate, I'm sure the shopkeeper would be beholden to such advice?

[evocationary]

[she just raises her eyebrows at him.]

... Expecting someone else, huh.

[liuli]

And it appears I was mistaken. How curious.

[ he'll take a step back, though. ] I'll let you be on your way, then.

[evocationary]

Oh no, don't you dare. [grabs his nose? why are you like this.] You hit on me and then run? Hello? Now I have to know.

[liuli]

[ normally he'd just dodge this but it's lup so the instinct is not there so she gets to grab his nose - gu yun makes a slightly less than dignified noise and bats her hand away. he's still very low key and relaxed, voice not changing even a little in tone even internally he's like escape escape ]

Is it strange for a woman so beautiful to receive attention from a man? I wasn't aware.

[evocationary]

[fine, she lets go... for now.]

Absolutely not. I turn heads everywhere I go. Most of the time people aren't brazen enough to make uh, oral jokes, right at me. Which is why I'm so intensely curious. Have we slept together in another life?

[liuli]

[ gu yun's sort of looking past her, and when lup speaks up again, there's a beat.

he tilts his head, reaching up to push at his left ear, and his expression goes a little confused, brows knitting together, eyes a little wide, as he says - ]

Hmm?

[ sorry! he's deaf!! ] I'm not sure what you said.

[evocationary]

I rolled a six on my insight check but even so, I feel like you're dodging me.

[liuli]

[ he blinks innocently?

the dc's real high on this one motherfucker ]
