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!

Oh! That's a good idea.

[Looking thoughtfully at the fish...]

Do you think Kiyomitsu would like one?

[daifukus]

I have heard they make rather beautiful gifts.

[ smiles knowingly ]

[okitactless]

[somewhere kashuu is probably screeching WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH A FISH STUPISADA

Stupisada, on the other hand, brightens up]

Then we’ll get some! I’m sure the others will like them too. [if nothing else, the tantou will be entertained]

[daifukus]

[ teach it to do tricks, gosh kashuu ]

Mm! I think they certainly will enjoy the experience.

[ smashcut to sword arts n craft hours making a fish safe citadel for them to swim in ]

[Namazuo didn't learn from the turtle incident and somehow sticks his hand in its mouth--

Also I don't remember what yasu's canonpoint was so don't perceive his possible future knowledge but]

...But, wait, don't bears eat fish? It won't attract them to the Citadel, will it?

[THEIR BEAR EXCURSION]

[daifukus]

[ I'm in tears. tonbo at least laughs gently ]

I believe there are enough fish outside the citadel to keep them content. Tucked safe behind glass and walls, I would believe they'd be the safest fish of all.

[okitactless]

That's true. [pours one out for all the museum swords that yams can't relate to]

I guess we could always fight the bears if we have to. [do not fight the bears, yams]

[daifukus]

[ yams blease, this specific tonbo can't fight your bears ]

I hardly believe our wildlife will find their way into the citadel. However, I'm certain gently leading them back home will be easy enough.

[ he might not know this lore but i think it'd be funny to just send mutsu the bear speaker. ]
