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!

[Sometimes you scream hornily when your two men meet.

He will accept this flower, though. It really softens his roguish features. Hilarious.]

That is what they say. I must thank you for the compliment then. I'm honored.

[Pats the pocket with the flower gently. Please at least pretend to be straight. (no)]

[ hilarious. it does suit him, actually!! he adjusts the sprig a little bit until it's set just right, and then takes a step back. gu yun who has never backed off of a goddamn thing in his entire life therefore had to see this entire thing through. ]

Sure, sure. Admittedly, not what I was expecting when I turned around, but I do love a good surprise. [ ?? ] A veteran of one of these delightful little adventures we've all been on as well, I assume?

[papasha]

[Now he is just this stupidly tall, stupidly broad dorito Russian man with a sweet lil flower in his shirt pocket.]

I promise I usually buy dinner first before I bring out the surprises. [Wink. He's winking because he's dumb.] Unfortunately, I am, yes.

I hope this is simply a good time, and not a bad time for us.

[liuli]

You and I both. We thought much of the same upon the arrival to our station, but so far, things are decidedly less... ah, compromised.

[ he doesn't trust it for a second but also? will gladly drink this festival out of its alcohol until the murder starts! just like the station. the bit about surprises gets him to grin a little further, even, delighted. ] And an offer for dinner already? We've hardly met, though I suppose, ah. Perhaps it's in poor taste, but you only live once?

[ get it, bc they're from murdergames ]

[papasha]

[Hmmmmm. He glances around them. His expression continues to look like the charming, amiable himbo he's being, but there is something a little more sharper in his eyes. Like he's Aware.]

So far, things don't seem so bad.

[Lucky them. He gives Gu Yun another easy smile. STOP, DON'T JOKE ABOUT IT.]

My apologies. [He gestures to his chest, and then extends a hand.] Blanca.
