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!

[ The more time he spends here, the more he can avoid reality by not going home. That's how it works, right!

Anyway guess who's just out here eating food, because of course he is. ]

Hey, this stuff from Stall 2-B is pretty damn good.

[ Or maybe he's trying one of the shooter games, but struggling because he's so damn big and the gun is so small. ]

Oi, still got a few shots left. Wanna give it a go in my stead?

Ya looking for a specific prize or what?

[ Give him the gun. ]

Not that specific, but I'll take a second frog.

[ Hands him the gun, go wild you sniper cat man. ]

[Wehehe!]

Sure you don't want a snake?

Fine, if you think a snake is better somehow!

[ Giving Bradley free reign to pick his prize? Use this power well Bradley or get dunked on. ]

[Bradley is absolutely cheating, considering the slight green glow on the gun.

Don't worry about it.

Anyway he wins Aikawa: A big fluffy cat.]

[ He does not see it.

No he definitely does but he's conveniently blind in front of their store vendor. He sticks his hands in his pockets and is perfectly nonchalant as Bradley snipes the target just fine and one cat later, when they're away from the vendor... ]

Okay but did you need magic or whatever to get it?

[ The cat is on top of his head. It's a perfect perch spot. ]

Nope, but they're all totally rigged. I'm just matchin' 'em.

[Cheat versus cheat, basically.

It's a good place for a cat.]

Wait, they are?

[ He's never been to a festival / carnival!! ]

Ya new to these things? They're rigged so the shopkeeper can keep ya playin' for ages.

Yeah, I've never been to one of these. There was one at Wiwaldi but we were stuck in Daycare so we didn't get to go, remember?

Wow, extortion. That sucks. The gun was too small for me so I didn't get to play anyway though.

Don't remind me of that place. [ ugh ] I had to dance at one of these festival things once.

You're just a giant. Least ya can eat the food they got here.

Huuuh? Saying that like you can't. They don't even have raw vegetables here.

Didn't know you could dance. [ lmao ]

What? Just because I didn't wanna at school doesn't mean I can't.

[ He immediately veers off to a stall that's giving out lollipop shaped meat. He gets two for himself and one for Aikawa. ]

South makes this stuff for Walpurgisnacht.

Just surprising, considering... [ Looks him up and down, as if to imply: all of him.

But he perks up when he is given food. Man simple. Though lollipop-shaped meat is horrible Bradley couldn't say it like skewer or something. ]

Walpurgeywhatnow? Must be kinda similar to Blue Night.

Considerin' what?

[Don't be rude you giant sorcerer man! Also it's not his fault South is like that.]

It's a celebration for wizards and witches. Enjoy each other's company and really go wild. It's different per country. South's all about gettin' along and shit, but the snacks are great.

Oh, you know. You just look like you'd be stepping on people's feet all the time.

[ Let it be known that Bradley pried. ]

Neat, I guess. Blue Night's for Sorcerers to find and make their partner contracts. I've never been, but lots of food around and stuff.

I might step on yours.

[ Terrible cat. ]

What's a partner contract anyway?

Like I'd dance with you to begin with!

[ He doesn't know how to anyway. ]

A partner contact's a thing a lot of sorcerers do with each other. Like a binding thing to be with them until the next Blue Night.
