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!
[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.]

he will also soon be accosted by a rotund puppycat that bounces its way straight to riku and kind of bulldozes into his legs.
meanwhile, from somewhere:]
Meow Wow, come back! [this is why sora isn't allowed to own pets.]
no subject
Meow Wow...?
[Okay, calm down. He will pet. Oh! That voice...]
Sora?!
no subject
Riku? [oh...that's someone he hasn't seen in a very long time, so pardon him as he just bulldozes his way through people to get to him.] Riku!
[it also means nearly crashing into riku himself, but he stops just short of doing that. kind of. no just kidding he absolutely stumbles in his haste to get there so riku either has to catch him or they're both eating shit, there is truly no other option here.]
no subject
It wouldn't be a Sora and Riku reunion without him getting tackled to the ground. Besides, Sora is... SOMEHOW? bigger? than normal? The two of them absolute eat shit after he catches Sora. The mask goes flying. Meow Wow turns into a safety balloon.
The only one spared is Komory Bat who ends up flapping above them, chittering.]
Sora...! [Hold on a fucking second.] When did... you get... taller?!
[Well, a little taller.]
no subject
except uh. hello? what the absolute fuck is going on here. he pauses, unsure suddenly as he gives riku a curious look.]
...what do you mean when?

no subject
I'm Riku. That's Komory.
[It's a joke! Because Zuko was reaching for it.]
no subject
[ he just gives riku a look ]
Well, I prefer Komory.
[ wow ]
no subject
Komory likes everyone. [To which the bat chirps.] Let me guess: Sora told you who I was.
