glocksuke | Summer Festival in the MGU

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!

[ no matter who you are, what you're doing, or where you're hanging out—if for whatever reason, you turn around, you'll find this ominous figure there, just... standing. that's all they do. they just stand in your path, not moving, not speaking... h-hewwo???

if you don't want to deal with the jumpscare, though, find majima later on with the mask pushed off to the side of his face, also pretend he has long hair because nobody draws happy y0 majima. anyway! he's at the food stalls with a takeout tray in hand, popping one in his mouth before swearing and fanning his mouth (wait until it cools down, dumbass). only then does he notice he has company, and grimaces. ]

Look, I-I'm fine, I swear, but could ya get me a glass of water or something?

[well, okay, like, this terrifying jumpscare figure is right there and it scares the piss out of her so her instinct is to punch]

[ really it's his fault for trying to sneak up on beau and NOT expecting this to happen, so like, he takes it? beau knocks him right on his ass, and he shoves the mask off his face as he rubs the spot where she fuckin decked him. ]

Fuck, c'mon, a "long time no see" woulda been fine!

[he did deserve this but also, she - laughs? she actually bursts into laughter, and then immediately reaches out to yank his ass off the ground.]

You asshole, I thought you were a fucking ghost or something. Come here, c'mere.

[ he accepts the yank, getting back onto his feet and brushing dirt off his yukata. mean... ]

Hey, don't say that when we got actual spirits runnin' around. We all got powers back an' shit, they might haunt ya for being ghostist.

[like she's not going to bear hug him!!]

If a ghost wants to try their luck, I'm all for it. [fight]

[

a very similar match minus an eyepatch stares back at him

and just radiates exhaustion ]

...Really, Majima....?

[ he just holds up a hand in greeting! who is this "majima" yin yu speaks of... certainly not this guy... ]

[ he's aging ]

Are you trying to scare people?

[ he raises a finger to his lips. ]

.... Try not to get in too much trouble.

[ spoken like a true ghost cop

anyway he will. raise a hand to him in return. have fun majima. ]

[Eyepatch, staring at eyepatch.]

[Stare..........]

Wait, didn't we fight each other in that mistletoe party last year?

[ hansa says "fight" and, without any hesitation, the masked man gets into stance. ]

Oh...? Goodness, you're so eager.

[He laughs, good-naturedly.]

At least let me get you some water, first!

[ oh deadass i thought you tagged the creepy mask prompt im in tears. SEEING HANSA JUST TRIGGERED HIS FIGHT NO FLIGHT RESPONSE I GUESS which is extremely believable. ]

Heh, burnin' my mouth is nothin' compared to the heat of a good fight!

[aslkdjlaksjdlas SHOULD HAVE CLARIFIED hansa is chill either way]

Haha! You're someone who takes the words out my mouth. Real sure you want a rematch?

[ KICK HIS ASS, MOMO ]

[ this small gremlin just stares at his getup, completely unbothered. she looks at her takoyaki combo platter A. offers one? ]

[ oh! takoyaki! his expression does not change, but futaba gets a very solid thumbs up. good taste. ]

[ a nod.

she eats the one she tried to offer and immediately dies. (no) but she does start puffing like her entire existence is on fire. ]

H-hot!

[ oh no... he pats her shoulder understandingly. the betrayal of delicious festival food... ]

[she just

stares up at majima when he's just standing there with that mask on. she does not seem at all frightened, but that might be because she's spent a lot of time in ghost city.

instead, she murmurs to herself:]

It appears that Yin Yu has started a trend...

[ ok at this point he drops the menacing act because i'm getting tired of charades. he pouts a little as he shifts the mask off! ]

Hey, I'll have ya know, I was rockin' the look way before I even met Yin-han.

[she giggles]

Were you? I would not know - he is the first person I have met who wears such a mask regularly.

Aw, c'mon, didja forget already?

[ he turns around and slips the yukata off his shoulders! the nice hannya on his back says hewwo. ]
