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!

[ENOUGH WITH THE WHITE BREAD

though she laughs at that - the applause gets her to bow, playing along]

Wouldn't say it's the shot I was embarrassed of.

[but her nerd tendency to celebrate like she's playing an FPS???]

But thank you, thank you, I'll be here until I get that dratted plush bear.

[never

But he grins at that, wandering over to observe the game a little better.]

Would you like some assistance? [hm]

[azuta]

[ . . . . ]

I suppose if you have nothing better to do...

[she doesn't want to ask for help but also

opportunist]

[toyska]

It's a festival, isn't it? This is what we're here for!

[Is... is it?

Well! Regardless, he is stepping up for a turn! The Fatui have guns similar to this so I'm gonna say he's a better shot with these than he is with a bow.

Not that it matters all that much because he

doesn't even try to aim at the cans

he just shoots at one of the decorations on the inside of the stall instead, and when it crashes to the ground, startling the stall worker into spinning around ("What the--?!"), he uses a burst of water to scoop up about five of the plush toys and toss them over towards the two of them.]

There we go.

[THIS IS JUST STEALING.]
