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!

...Huh. I see, I see. Well, I guess I wouldn't be surprised that a woman like you could have the ability to stir up trouble everywhere she goes. But believe me, I think it's better that way.

[He extends a hand, grinning.]

The name's Hansa. Hansa Cervantes.

[her ear flicks! she seems very amused by this, but she will, in fact, take his hand, and then kiss the back of it, like a ham.]

Nice to meet you, Hansa. Help a girl fill in the blanks, I'm so intensely curious.

Haha, if you come from a world where someone like you treats me like royalty, I'd like to see it.

[He's obviously sarcastic, but amused all the same.]

Fill in the blanks? Funny you say that, because the name of our little game was that we would lose our memories as the weeks went on. It was really annoying.

Oh. Oh. Hate that one! That's awful! For lots of reasons!

[... long pause.] I can't decide if the indulgence center is worse or better.

Oh, you're telling me. I forgot I liked coffee the first day, can you imagine that? And then I forgot I'm practically seventy percent metal. Stuff like that. The worst, I tell you.

[And a curious look.]

The...indulgence center?

You - you're what. [HELLO? she just... reaches over to poke his shoulder. you can't just drop the metal bit and not expect a girl to be curious.]

-- Oh. Uh. Yeah, it... well, it was that. Big space station, monitored by out of control AI that required everybody to indulge. Lots of boinking was had, as well as uh, cheese whiz hot tubs and gamer girl bath water.

Oh, and purity cake. Can't forget the purity cake.

I'm not pulling your leg, honest.

[His arm is ROCK HARD. Because its metal.]

[He huffs at the description, though. Thats. A lot.]

I see, I see. Definitely not the type of place for a priest like me. Though the...what was that? The purity cake sounds up my alley.

[stop don't talk about rock hard around this lup]

The more you claim to be a priest the less I believe you. [she informs him.] You'd regret saying that if you knew what chaos the cake unleashed.

Scout's honor, I am! Church-ordained and everything.

[Can't help but be Chaos Itself!]

Oh? Haha, now you have to tell me what a purity cake could do, of all things.

[wrinkles her nose]

A bunch of dork-ass losers saw a cake just sitting out on a table, ate it, and then all decided they had to apologize for boning before marriage.

...

[I'm sorry, he's just going to let out an impressively loud snort.]

Honest? That's what happened?

Scout's, uh, scout's honor. The people who didn't eat the cake had to hide in the spa to avoid being hassled.

Ah, well, that's when you get when you eat random cakes. Kind of askin' for it, honestly.

We didn't have anything like that, but a couple times we had people turn into animals. I turned into a frog, once.

[she squints, thinking.]

Did... did we have animals? [lup you ran the fucking game how do you not remember] You probably made a handsome frog.

[LUP YOUR NPC DUTIES]

Haha, I'm flattered, but I think that the only thing I had going for me was my lovely frog voice and a little eyepatch. I remember it well. At least I got out of that mess with a kiss.

You had an eyepatch as a frog? [she sounds DELIGHTED.] Who kissed you? I hope I know who it is.

[looks into the camera like i'm on the office]

[ALSO LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA LIKE ON THE OFFICE]

I sure did. And I haven't seen him here, yet, but he might be around. Big, tall, and grouchy. Hard to miss him. I'm sure he'd come over and talk off my ear if I let you know all about his numerous crimes.

[a long... long pause.]

How... how tall. Like very?

Taller than me, if you can believe it. Slouches, though. I keep telling him that he needs to work on his posture.

[LOOKS

AT THE SKY]

Please tell me you're talking about Emet Selch.

...

[Hm.]

That's the one.

Ohhh, that horse's ass! Blah blah I'm a sorcerer of eld who doesn't kiss anybody, you're just annoying blah my butt.

I will never let him live this down.

[He lets out a snort at that. Well, looks like she's got an Emet-Selch of her own. He has to tell his about this. This is honestly very funny.]

Believe me, I spent ten years with the man once and the most he allowed me to do for him was make him chicken soup. You might have a hard time with your own.

[she makes a face.]

I will out-stubborn him. [:unamused:] Well. I have, already, twice. Which I consider a victory, but still.

Oh, good for you. Honestly...huh. The Lup I know is so happy with a friend of mine that I couldn't see her with Emet at all, but...

[THINKING ABOUT???? POLYCULE....5???????]

Well, you're absolutely stubborn enough to go up against him. Same with me. I'd toast to our stubborn tenacity for a certain wizard man if I could, but I don't have any drinks on me. Oh, well.
