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!

It is! Don't worry, I'll win it for you.

[the guy running the stall is rapidly saying no, miss, you need to shoot with the gun, please -

she lets the arrow fly and it hits the target with such force that it snaps clean off. she holds out her hand expectantly.]

That bear, please!

[


the guy is now spluttering indignantly.]

[chanteuser]

She did knock the target down. After I hit it dead on and it didn't budge.

[ alex in her best "i would ask to speak to your manager, but i have a feeling that would get us nowhere" voice. ]

The bear, please?

[dawnblushed]

[the guy tries to fire back with but she broke my target!

yona interrupts:]

The bear, or I'll shoot at every other target you have next.

[


he hands the bear over.]

[chanteuser]

[ she claps! you tell him yona. ]

Very well done.

[dawnblushed]

[she presents alex with the bear, beaming]

Here you go! Although, he really should have given it to you when you hit the target before.

[chanteuser]

[ principal bear plush...... he's a big boy. ]

I guess it's a business practice. A bad one, but--

[ y'know. ]

[dawnblushed]

He should look into a different line of business, then!

[chanteuser]

Maybe this was all that worked until now. But now the ease of profits might be outweighed by the fear of girls with bows.

[ ... what a nice thought. ]

[dawnblushed]

...well, he won't have anything to be afraid of as long as he plays fairly from now on!
