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 like cute stuff, right? You can have another.

[ she pushes a second one towards her. please. ]

W, well I don't think they're bad, and these are pretty cute.

[ CLEM PLEASE? ]

Don't you want any of these for yourself?

I'm a little old for stuff like this.

[ she does not see the contradiction in expecting other people her age to take them. but she nods toward the broccoli plush. ]

Picked one for AJ, though.

[ THEY'RE THE SAME AGE? it's fine. she won't point it out. ]

Is that so?

[ thinking back to her broccoli back in the realm. ]

Does he like broccoli or something?

[ she laughs a little. ]

Not really. It's dumb, it's just - there was this cartoon that I used to watch? And I started grabbing the toys from it for him when I saw them. He's never even seen it.

[ ... so in a way, it kind of is more for her than for him. ]

[ oh. that's cute. ]

Do you think you'll get the chance to show it to him one day? Or, at least, find a way?

[ you know, she's aware of the kind of world clem is going back to but, like, at the same time? didn't they all wish for something to make things easier for them? clem definitely did....something to her world. ]

[ people don't turn when they die anymore. that's the only change. everything else is still ruins, still people fighting over a scarcity of supplies. it's. it's fine. ]

I doubt it. That would take a lot of work. Finding generators, getting a working TV, getting ahold of old tapes...

[ oh.

clem?? your world??? ]

Why not just—I don't know—steal from one of the other worlds. I can't imagine anyone would miss any of that stuff.

As far as generators and TVs go.

Because they're heavy.

[ that's like... half a joke? ]

It'd be easier if they had the same show in other worlds. I could just bring him over. But I kind of doubt it.

I bet you could as Sora to do some of his magic stuff and help or something like that.

[ that's probably not how it works but look. she doesn't, technically, have the same kind of magic that you think of when it comes to magic? ]

You think? I still don't understand magic.

It's worth a shot. The worse that could happen is that nothing happens.

[ she doesn't get sora's magic. alphi's magic? totally makes sense to her. ]

You're probably right...

[ zero magic makes sense to her. ]

Besides I'd bet he'd do his best anyway. Maybe he'd dress up as a piece of broccoli himself.

[ wouldn't that be funny? ]

... That would be funnier than the show. I'm gonna make him do it.

[ ...... ]

If that really ends up happening I have to know and see it for myself.

I'll tell you, then.

Great. I'll bring something to record it as well. Can't let memories just be memories.

Yeah, you never know when someone might steal those away.

[ haha!!! ]

[ closes eyes. ]

Hopefully we're over and done with memory altering nonsense and never revisiting it ever again.

Yeah, can't say I was a fan.

[ ... ]

But, I dunno. It worked out, or whatever. [ baby's first optimism ]

After everything we went through, I would hope that it all worked out.

[ both of them optimisms..... ]

You've been keeping in contact with Sora a lot?

[ don't ask me about psls im so bad at psls ]

When I have time.

[ pats your face.... it's fine. ]

I guess that's good enough.

... What about you?

I mean, where do you hang out, usually? [ what world... ]
