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!

[YOU

she completely ignores riku to pet the colorful creature. hello!!]

[SCREAMS me as that cat

O-- When he turns his head, he is looking down way more than he should, and has to lift his head up to see her. --oh.

The bat chirps excitedly and accepts the pets!! Friends!!]

...Do I know you?

[This actually sounds really earnest. Hate that.]

Probably not. Maybe! There's another me running around here somewhere but I doubt you know that one, either.

[scritchies!!] No, I know you, though. Or uh, I know Sora.

Another... you?

[SUDDEN PTSD ABOUT REPLICAS AND STUFF IT'S FINE]

!

You know Sora?

[Why is he still hecking surprised when Sora just makes friends literally everywhere.]

[she's not going to explain fuck center lup to him actually, never mind]

Yeah, I do. Actually, I owe you -- [and she reaches over to flick him right in the middle of the forehead.]

[No explain fuck center to him.]

Y--

[He lets out a small ow of Surprise, reaching up to rub the spot. The bat sort of Snickers at him almost. He glances at it like :unamused: because rude.]

What was that for...?

You might not have done it yet, because you look a little baby, but you said something very rude to Sora in a memory of his and I promised that I would do this if I ever met you.

[the bat is lup's best friend. she makes a little cooing sound to try and steal it from him so she can pet it]

You saw his memories...

[Oh....... His mood tanks. The being younger is weird considering the only times so far he can think of saying real mean stuff to Sora was when he was actually a lot younger than he is now.

Did he... not change? Why is he still rude? He's frowning.

The bat on the other hand is smiling away!!! It abandons Riku in his time of need to fly right into Lup's arms.]

I... said something rude...?

[she loves this bat, nosing at it]

... Well. It was rude to me. [stop being so sad, her dumb heart is too secret protag for this.] He didn't take it that way.

You're a good friend, if uh, a little rough around the edges. Or whatever. He clearly thinks the sun shines out of your ass.

[Of course Sora wouldn't take it that way. Stupid ass.

He looks a bit surprised (probably the coarseness), and then he looks embarrassed.]

Sora...

[He

puts his face in his hand.]

Have you seen him?

Not here, yet. But I have a Sora radar, so if he's here, I'll find him.

[dats her son] He misses you.

Uh.

[That sounds so fucking weird coming from someone he doesn't know. He squints at her suspiciously.

Like protective suspiciously. Look, he is going through a lot right now with Sora.]

I don't know why. I've seen him pretty recently.

[It doesn't matter with Sora.]

Don't look at me like that, you stinker. Sora is -- [hm. she stops. she can't say my son because one, sora has a mom, but also because she can't possibly be that vulnerable.]

Very important to me. [she settles on, huffily.] I'm not going to hurt him.

[HE'S LOOKING.

But he does relax slightly. Even if he's still! protective! and wary! Who knows, this place might be evil! He's the paranoid one.]

Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've heard someone say that about Sora.

Won't be the last, either. That boy has a way of wiggling his way in. I'd do anything for that kid.

[This is gay, but he absolutely reaches up to touch his heart. It makes the bat chitter happily.

Somewhere, a (nier voice) replicant version of himself accused Sora of worming his way into his heart.]

Me, too.

[Don't tell Sora he said that.]
