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!

Ah, a hard bargain? Fair enough.

[evocationary]

No!

[WHAT THE FUCK]

I'm going to sell you to the closest bidder, you menace.

[liuli]

They could hardly afford the price! And there are no refunds.

[ wehehehehe!!!! pleased with himself ] Actions do have consequences, don't they? [ what a menace ] I suppose there's a little left, though it's not as if the drinks cost any money.

[evocationary]

It's not about the drink, it's about the betrayal. [:unamused:] I don't want your traitor drink, I can get my own.

[and she takes his hand so she can lead him off to get another one?]

[liuli]

[ off they go! holding hands! hetero content. ]

We ought to play some sort of a drinking game. Take a sip every time you see someone you know, from the station or otherwise.

Do you want me to end the night throwing up on your shoes? [she grumbles. a beat.] You know, I saw Lucretia.

[liuli]

[ well, he was gonna tease about her barfing but that's curious? gu yun stands up a little straighter, seeing if he could spot lucretia... ]

How curious. Strange that these sorts of places seem to pick us up. Did you talk to her much about her experience at all?
