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!

[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.]

[Now he looks even more confused HELP]

I... How? [Knowing about the other stuff isn't so bad, but the exam???] Who are you?

Sora told me. I'm Clementine.

And you're... Riku, right?
darksubverted: (pic#15085442)

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-07 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[SORA!!!!!]

Sora's here? [Is his very immediate question. He

even looks around because they're attached at the hip.]
I...

Yeah. It's Riku. I guess he told you that, too.
stillnot: (pic#14286889)

[personal profile] stillnot 2021-08-07 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep.

[ but, pfft. she looks amused. ]

I haven't seen him yet.
darksubverted: (Riku (527))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-07 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sighs in that SORA!! kind of way.]

Me either. But if he's here, he'll definitely show up sooner or later.

And we'll probably hear him coming.

[personal profile] stillnot 2021-08-07 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably.

It's cool, though. Being able to be this loud.

[ she looks up fondly at the fireworks. they are so loud. crowds are loud. festivals are loud! wow!!! ]

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-07 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[???

He follows her gaze up to the fireworks. The bat waves its wings happily as more go off, and it chats away unintelligibly.]


A little noisy. But... at least it looks nice.
stillnot: (pic#14287047)

[personal profile] stillnot 2021-08-07 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
We uh. Can't do stuff like this in my world. It's too dangerous.

So it's always nice to be somewhere that can handle the lights and sounds.
darksubverted: (Riku (454))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmmm.

He is frowning when he glances back at her.]


Dangerous... for noise? [That sucks.] It doesn't hurt your ears then?

I never thought... about not being able to enjoy a festival before.
stillnot: (pic#14286873)

[personal profile] stillnot 2021-08-08 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'm used to gunshots, so I can handle the noise.

[ she shrugs! this is all fine and normal. ]

That's a good thing. Besides, I know that you've just got different stuff to worry about.
darksubverted: (Riku (459))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Gun....shots..... Oh. Terrible. He's suddenly so tired. Yet AGAIN, I'm playing someone who is just EXHAUSTED hearing about Clem's shit world.]

Right. [Guess... they do. Which is still awful.] Did you... get taken to another place to... play a game, too?
stillnot: (pic#14415543)

[personal profile] stillnot 2021-08-08 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's fine ]

I think everyone here did.

It sucked, but it could have been worse. How about yours?
darksubverted: (Riku (469))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-08 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Bad. He frowns as he glances around them. Why... Hopefully this is not another round. It's fine.]

...It sucked, but it could have been worse. Yeah.
stillnot: (pic#14286902)

[personal profile] stillnot 2021-08-08 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh - don't worry. Sometimes we just get randomly snatched up for parties and shit now. It's cool.

[ THIS IS JUST LIFE NOW? ]
darksubverted: (Riku (28))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-08 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He

makes a face about that. Kind of tired, kind of exasperated. Please don't just say they get snatched up randomly.]


Great... [The only saving grace here is they are parties. Not that he wants to go to any parties!] It's nice, but... I'm a little busy.

You'll be alright.

Magic bullshit makes it all work out, I think.
darksubverted: (pic#15044480)

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-08 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I know. Still.

[He's supposed to be the more sensible one, except:]

It's real, by the way. Magic.
stillnot: (pic#14286986)

[personal profile] stillnot 2021-08-08 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
I know it's real.

It's just bullshit, is the thing.
darksubverted: (Riku (455))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-08 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't say that.

[She can absolutely say that. It's bullshit.]
stillnot: (pic#14286832)

[personal profile] stillnot 2021-08-08 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not?

Look, I tried to figure out how magic works for weeks.
darksubverted: (Riku (539))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-08 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE TRIES NOT TO LAUGH, but there's the kind of holding back smirk on his face. Like he really wants to snicker.]

You have to trust in your heart. I guess... in my case, being a keyblade wielder helps.
stillnot: (pic#14286886)

[personal profile] stillnot 2021-08-09 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, having magic probably makes it all make more sense. But there's no such thing in my world, so it's all fucking bizarre to me.

I'll... Figure it out eventually. Exposure therapy.
darksubverted: (pic#15085455)

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-08-10 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[You kiss Sora with that mouth?]

I don't know... You probably have magic in your world, you just don't realize it. [(mock disney voice) everyone's got magic] Magic is all around you.

[He nods at Komory Bat. It orbits around Clementine with some chittering, doing a spin of its own as it goes.]
