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!

[ She smiles up at him, pleased. ]

I knew I could count on you. I missed you.

[liuli]

[ fufu he speaks fluent medb

he winks as he pulls back! ] I am nothing if not a purveyor of the fine and beautiful. I've missed you as well, Medb. Has someone been lucky enough to escort you this evening?

[fergalicious]

[ She laughs. ]

No one's won that privilege yet.

[liuli]

Perhaps you'd be willing to offer this Marquis a moment of your time? No casinos to rob, today, but I'm sure we can make do.

[ he offers medb his arm! ]

[fergalicious]

For your way with words, I can give you that reward.

[ She takes his arm, no hesitation. ]

Oh, I'm sure we can blind people with our beauty enough to give us prizes.

[liuli]

Both shrewd and frugal? I always liked that about you.

[ awful. terrible! why did we ever allow this to happen, again. gu yun will gladly lead her out back into the main festival like the goddamn gentleman he is. ] Where to? I think I'd like a drink.

[fergalicious]

Is it frugal when beauty is priceless?

[ Someone, please snipe her. Gu Yun encourages her ego too much. ]

Let's see if there's any drink strong enough to make you or me tipsy.
