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!

[ tragically he is just so used to this. he wipes his face off after yams is finished waving, very patiently. ]

Have you been able to catch anything with your hands?

[A SIGH... he sits back on his heels, shaking his head.]

Not yet, no. I was thinking about trying a different game for a little while, but they don't have anything to do with swords at all!

[it's just a bunch of GUNS and PROJECTILES this is a terrible festival]

[shixiong]

That probably isn't a bad thing - there may be many civilians here.

[ and you don't want civilians handling sharp weapons. right yams? right? right???

anyway, he will pick up the net and bring one over. ] I believe I've played this game before, and the trick is just to be patient. I can show you, if you're willing to watch.

Really?

[looking around as if noncombatants are all wearing shirts that say "I'M A CIVILIAN"

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YAMS EVEN SAW A CIVILIAN IN REAL LIFE it was definitely crau, wow

but his attention is called back fairly quickly, and he nods!! he shuffles over out of the way, sitting and STARING expectantly with those big ol' eyes. Please teach him]
