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!

[ooc: you know the drill, past mg characters from any of our past games, please don't make me list them again but go nuts.]

[ he is casually munching on dango when he comes up to his boy, leaning on his crouched figure even while he's in the middle of fish scooping. ]

Really, Tonbo-kun? Kintoki-san and Sakana-san's bowl is already quite cramped as is...

[daifukus]

[ he just gently bobs with the weight like it was fully expected (it was) ]

I thought perhaps Aruji would like one of their very own.

[uncleanse]

Haha...do you think so? Personally, I would say they already have their hands full managing all of us.

[ as he watches tonbo try to catch a fishie, he bends down and holds his stick of dango in front of the yari's mouth. look at him, he is a caring partner! ]

[daifukus]

Watching fish is meant to be relaxing. Perhaps something akin to the aquarium would be good for them?

[ watch him multi task as he grabs a bite of dango, intently plot his next course, and design aruji's gift all at the same time.

[uncleanse]

Mm, you do have a point. It was one of my favorite places on the ship, after all... I'm glad you remembered it.

[ he grins as he leans upon tonbo further. it's like he always says—even if the whole experience was a hellish one, there were still some parts worth remembering, enough that he can't bring himself to take any of it back. ​]

[uncleanse]

[ in fact, he's so preoccupied with the memories that he doesn't notice the next piece of dango slide down the stick... which means it falls into the little pool with a plop! and causes the fish to scatter. ]

Ah.

[daifukus]

It was mine as well.

[ it's all very cute watching them be gross and schmoopy but this doesn't stop him from bursting into laughter at Nikkari. ]

I thought that was a treat for us, not the fish.

[uncleanse]

. . .

Perhaps it'll be easier to catch one now that they're enticed by the bait.

[ don't say this like you planned it you fucking idiot ]

[daifukus]

They'll have to return for the first.

[ he's teasing but.. it seems... like it's working?? hold on, he's perked to attention staring intently at the feesh as they warily circle back to their new sweet treat

( can fish even eat dango?? ) ]

[uncleanse]

[ who knows but if it works, it works!! at least this time nikkari is better behaved, perched on tonbo's shoulders and watching the fish as the yari concentrates. ]

[daifukus]

[ well, they're certainly interested in this new sweet treat. which means veeeery very carefully, tonbo is sliding his scooper into the water and- oooh he got one!

wait o shit where's his bucket ]

[uncleanse]

[ when tonbo catches the fish, nikkari very quickly grabs a prefilled bag of water and holds it open under the scooper. don't mind if he preens a little, too. ]

Aha, see? Nikkari always knows best.

[daifukus]

[ nikkari gets a forehead smooch for being the best partner ]

My Nikkari is certainly wise.

[ time to observe his feesh and o: a little. a good catch...! ]

[uncleanse]

Don't forget beautiful.

[ asshole ]

[daifukus]

[ that sure is exasperated energy emanating from tonbo as he draws nikkari into his arms. terrible ]

My wonderful, beautiful, beloved.

[uncleanse]

[ wehehe ]

Come, let's replenish our supply of treats. We must take advantage while we can.

[daifukus]

[ even more terrible is how fondly tonbo curls said arm around nikkari's waist while they walk off to the other stalls. disgusting. ]

I did see quite a number of unique options earlier. Have you any in mind?

[ cause they're gonna end up with a ton of daifuku otherwise ]

[uncleanse]

[ and while nikkari likewise nestles himself in tonbo's grasp... ]

. . .

I have a feeling Daifukiri is about to make an appearance...

[daifukus]

[ LOOKS AWAY FASTLY ]

Perhaps a little.....



[ maybe they'll have interesting flavors!!! ]

[uncleanse]

Haha... I know they're your favorite, but it would do you good to try broadening your horizons, you know. There's a whole world of interesting sweets out there, Tonbo-kun.

[daifukus]

[ it's not his fault he has an old faithful of a dessert.......


at least he's willing to experiment tho ]

Perhaps if they have something akin to the cheese bread...?

[uncleanse]

Ah, I was hoping for something a little more fruity... haha, no matter. There's nothing stopping us from sampling as many as we want.

[daifukus]

[ perks up because lbr everything sounds good ]

Maybe they will have those drinks you liked.... mmmm, smoothies?

[uncleanse]

Mm, something of that nature would be refreshing on a night like this... ah! Or shaved ice! The kind with syrup poured on top of it, to combat the summer heat.

[daifukus]

It sounds perfect.


[ they're just gonna eat their weight in treats smh ]
