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!

Maybe you can give it another try? I think they're weighted, but another shot could probably do something.

[ hua cheng stands with his arms crossed, hip leaning against the booth counter as he looks down at alex, the gun, and then slowly looks at the nervous rando standing at attention for the booth itself.

a butterfly drifts behind the rando and towards the target. ]

[ this guy is just out here trying to run a booth and he's getting all sorts of threatened today. ]

Oh, hello Hua Cheng. Did you want to try to win something too?

[ she's going to take another shot, same target, a litttle higher up if she can aim that neatly. maybe skill and talent will win the day! or maybe someone's gonna threaten the owner into letting her win, who's to say. ]

Hello, Alex. [ fond ] I was more interested in investing in a cotton candy machine for gege, actually, but if we can win a few prizes - why not?

[ there's a smile that's more like baring his teeth at the poor booth runner, instead of the warm one for alex. but as she takes the shot, and clearly hits the target again...

... the butterfly just. bonks into the bottom at the same time, knocking them over from two points. ] Oh, nice shot.

[chanteuser]

[ oh! she did it. "she" did it. ]

Ah-- it worked? [ victory. even if the booth runner looks like he might cry. ]

A cotton candy machine? Like the ones they're using at the food stalls? [ romance is alive and it's right here in front of her trying to source a cotton candy machine. amazing. ]
