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!

Patience is the point of the game. Recklessly charging in without any sort of preparation wouldn't be pleasant for anyone involved.

[okitactless]

The point of the game is catching fish... [yams don't be pedantic] You try it, then!

[uncleanse]

Hahaha...are you sure you'd like to challenge me? I'm very good with my hands, you know.

[ stop talking ]

[okitactless]

[If you listen closely you can hear the whooshing sound as this flies over his fluffy little head]

Prove it!

[uncleanse]

[ that's our yams... dumb puppy surrounded by a bunch of sluts... ]

Of course, of course. I'll show you the benefits of taking things slow and easy every once in a while, so be sure to pay close attention.

[ with a laugh, he rolls up his sleeves and picks up a scooper! heeere, fishy fishy... ]

[okitactless]

[do you ever think about how yams is the only sword here who was banned from smooching anyone

I do

anyway he’s just gonna crouch here and wait with his chin in his hands]

[uncleanse]

[ the only smooches yams should be getting are gentle ones on the head as a reward for not stabbing anyone prematurely

to his credit, nikkari does try to catch a fish the legit way, being careful not to move the little net in a way that would break the thin paper... but it seems like these particular fish are fussy. maybe they're still agitated from yams's attempts? the wakizashi pauses for a moment, simply staring down at the pool... ]

[uncleanse]

[ all of a sudden, a chilly breeze—an especially strange phenomenon, given the occasion—whips his long green hair about. on the opposite side of the pool, there seems to be an ominous shadow forming; at the same time, a piercing red light begins to emanate from nikkari's covered right eye. the fish become even more distressed, and they quickly swim away from the looming shade...

and right into the net. ]

[uncleanse]

[ once that happens, he scoops at least three of them up and into a little water-filled bag; the disturbing atmosphere dissipates almost as immediately as it had settled in, leaving only a sunnily grinning nikkari in its wake. ]

Ta-daaaaa.

[okitactless]

[



squints, looks around]

Something was definitely off just now...

[uncleanse]

Was it? Everything seemed perfectly normal to me.

[ his definition of normal is very much not normal even by sword standards, but go off!! ]

Either way, I did as you asked. [ he holds out the bag! ] Would you like to give one to Kashuu-san once we return home?

[daifukus]

[ somewhere by the food stalls, tonbo sneezes ]
