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!

[illuminance]

Me either.

I wonder if there's something in particular being celebrated? I haven't seen anything to suggest why, exactly, we're here.

[discernments]

Not having a reason to be put on trial and executed is enough to celebrate.

[ She says that lightly enough, but it's an honest answer. ]

To have some fun in the summer.

[illuminance]

You're certainly right about that.

[ except. wow it's lux's first glocksuke meme so she's not used to this? ]

Then you must have come from such a situation too?

[discernments]

Yes.

[ Sometimes, your entire Servant life is one murdergame life after another. It's fine. ]

There is a terrible amount of people who have found themselves in situations where murder was necessary.

[illuminance]

The inevitability of conflict and death in other worlds does not surprise me, but...

The structure of it is certainly outside of what I would expect.

[ like, war is one thing. but murder games? hewwo? ]
