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!

[ well, there's nothing much to see here other than Some Guy™ hanging out near one of the viewing platforms later on in the evening. for anyone who knows him, his hair doesn't seem to be its usual white? it's a darker, more grey tone now. weird!

but he has a sparkler and is waving it back and forth a little lazily while he watches the fireworks. get too close and he'll glance up at you with a grin. ]

Think I could spell something rude with this if I moved quick enough?

[ crow. ]

[azuta]

[





ohhhh she nearly just turned right back around instead of talking to him buT HE ALREADY ADDRESSED HER SO]

It'd have to be both rude and very concise?

[chevaliered]

[ i see how it is. ]

I'm up for a challenge.

[azuta]

[sometimes (muffled unspecified amount of time) is not enough to emotionally ghost someone]

Get creative then - I'd almost be tempted to try to a snowflake for Winter but I worry it's too intricate.

[and by that she means she absolutely already tried]

[chevaliered]

[ too late, she can't escape now. ]

You already tried, huh? [ CALL IT LIKE YOU SEE IT. ]

... A star's not the same, but it's kinda similar shape wise? That might be more doable.

[azuta]

... perhaps...

[stop calling her out damn]

But that should be doable - do you want a picture?

[chevaliered]

[ absolutely not. he just grins. ]

... Do I get a practice run first?

[azuta]

If I said no? Go big or go home?

[she's already pulling her smartphone out of her pocket, which she definitely had sewn into this dress.

really she's just being mean to him, as she always is]

[chevaliered]

[ good thing she's cute, huh? ]

...

Alright, go big or go home.

[ he's gonna do a nifty little star in the air with his sparkler, AND LOOK GOOD DOING IT. hopefully. it's probably a little wonky, but the shape is simple enough he's nailing it well enough. ]

[azuta]

Oh, that's not bad, actually.

[don't sound surprised she's so rude - but she's smiling, teasing

then she will take a picture!! and turn the smartphone so he sees]

Bravo.

[chevaliered]

What can I say? I'm a natural.

[ that's bullshit. look at this absolute crap he's spewing.

but he will lean in to take a look at that photo. ]

Oh, hey. It does look pretty cool.

[toyska]

[we can have this]

If it doesn't work, try drawing something.

[chevaliered]

[ yea! ]

Drawing something straight up might have more of an impact. [ dickbutt. ]

[toyska]

[did he draw a dickbutt]

[chevaliered]

[ alas, i'm not sure he knows what a dickbutt is. he did try drawing a star though. how'd it look? ]

[toyska]

[Damn.

Anyway, it's recognizable enough!]

That wasn't rude at all! But a good effort nonetheless.

[chevaliered]

Baby steps. No point in overcomplicating it before I'm sure I can get the full meaning across, right?

[toyska]

Sounds like you're speaking from experience, comrade.

[this probably seems like it's a dunk in some way but really he's just wondering if crow is a fighter]
