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.]

[ man how did i even play yuri. anyway. he's doing the usual Rounds of the area -- general stalls, Definitely Rigged stalls all of which get a look over so he can see if he can figure out the catch, and food stalls. catch him at any of those.

specifically, at the general stalls he can be found looking at the flowers -- selecting the freshest and brightest of blooms to examine closer, before making a choice on whether or not he wants one. as for the food stalls, well... ]

Divde and conquer? I can start to the west, you can start to the east, and we meet in the middle with all the food we can carry.

[ someone's Hungry. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[she looks very, very amused]

Food is fine, but you'd better not forget to grab drinks, too!

[aubins]

Please.

[ does he need to say anything else? really?

does he? ]

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha!

[he really doesn't!

anyway, divide and conquer it is. they can feast when they meet back up with their spoils.]

[aubins]

[ yeah, she just Understands.

anyway, it's a plan. divide and conquer -- go.



when he gets back he's gonna have so much food. and bottles. and probably one of those starbucks style carry boxes for some of the drinks. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[


sqx is a dirty rotten cheater who is absolutely using her power over wind to make things float alongside her as she walks back. on the plus side, this means they have so many different foods and drinks to choose from.]

Ooh, you got a lot, Yuri!

[aubins]

[ imagine having wind god powers, huh? ]

You're no slouch yourself.

[ he's just going to wave a bag at her. please levitate. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[she giggles, and a moment later the bag starts floating. that should free up his hands.]

Well, you know how it is, when there are so many tasty looking things it's hard to pick just one...

[this is why she was originally assigned to gluttony]

[liuli]

[ my purple bastard in arms

gu yun hums, and then gestures over to a different stall with his head. ] You sure you don't want to visit that one?

[ it's a face painting stall

is he talking about him being good with makeup or calling yuri a clown ]

[aubins]

[ purple bastard mobile, go! ]

[ yuri immediately has stylish clown flashbacks-- no. ]

Why, were you looking for a new style?

[ please. ]

[liuli]

As you're well aware, there is nothing I could possibly add to my face to make me any more beautiful than I already am.

[ stop ]

I'll help you with your food mission, though I'll raise you that we'll be drinking as well. There's quite the variety! Sound fair?

[aubins]

Sometimes I truly think a red nose wouldn't look out of place, though.

[ yuri on the other hand, just straight up: A CLOWN ]

The drinking goes without saying. There's a good balance of both food and alcohol the whole way down, after all.

[liuli]

[ completely ignores this remark about the clown nose? he didn't hear it, he's deaf. ]

An excellent ally as always, Yuri. Looking to sample a bit of everything, or do you have any particular preference? Sweet, sour, spicy?

[aubins]

[ honks his clown nose in spirit. ]

I am decidedly not picky. [ ... ] Well, no. I am, but until I try it I won't know so-- if it looks good we grab it.

[fergalicious]

Yuri, you should want to spend as much time with me for as long as we haven't seen each other.

[ He has five seconds to appease her. ]

[aubins]

[ wouldn't it be funny if he said no so ara could finally kill with medb-- ]

Oh?

[ well then. he holds out a hand. ]

Where to then?

[fergalicious]

[ yeah, it would. i'd kill on a memegle.

She places her hand in his. ]

Cotton candy first.

[ Pink and sweet, exactly— I can't finish that. Sort of like her. ]

[aubins]

[ i'd believe it.

pink and sweet, exactly like medb when she's getting her own way and has no reason to pull out the knives. ]

Cotton candy?

[ he's a YE OLDE, medb. ] Sounds... fluffy.

[fergalicious]

[ She is a ye olde, too. Get with the modern things, Yuri. You were on a space station? ]

Very!

[ She points it out when she sees it. ]

We can share.

[aubins]

[ look, luca has to finish inventing electricty before they can invent the cool stuff like cotton candy machines. maybe he's trying to block a lot of the indulgence centre from his mind. ]

-- Oh wow that really does look fluffy.

[ and HUGE. ]

i couldn't NOT tag you with a femblem

[fishingforcompliments]

[flayn, who looks like she's raided a tgcf's closet, pauses when she spots yuri.

huh! huh.

she does not seem to know what to say.]

[aubins]

[ huh.

huh!


well. ]

That's a new style.

[fishingforcompliments]

Ah, yes, well...

[hm. how to explain this...]

It is quite a comfortable type of clothing!

[notaccurate]

[Rigged stalls? What rigged stalls? Luca can win at most of these, given the chance to use his weird science-magic. But he's holding off on being too obvious with that, so far he's just acquired a squid hat via throwing darts at balloons, which he is going to promptly try to pull onto Yuri's head.]

I think that can work. Sweet, or savory?

[aubins]

[ oh.

he has a squid hat now. yuri wrinkles his nose and lifts up one of the really? long? tentacle arms? hello this is not practical. ]

I'm of a mind to just grab whatever's going and then decide what I feel most like eating afterwards. [ ...






he baps luca with one of the squid arms. ha. ]
