glocksuke | Summer Festival in the MGU

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!

[THE REALITIES ARE INTERSECTING]

Oh....? Oh!! Open your mouth? What's that?

[He obliges after explaining;]

They were a blessing from Lord Ares!
[Y'know. The greek god of war.]

...

[what]

You met a god?

[He laughs!]

I met several, actually! After being on the ship, we ended up somewhere else strange because there was something wrong with timelines? Ares, Dionysus, Aphrodite, and Hypnos are all there.

How strange....ah, well! That's just how these things go, I suppose. Lucky you!

[Nods.]

So based on what I've observed... you were somewhere where people had to solve murders too? How was it solving a case without Kaeru?

Yes, indeed. In fact, I was in two places like that! It was very strange. You know, I didn't even think I'd be able to exist like this. It was rather miserable...

But well...here I am. I guess that's what multiverse and other worlds can enable to happen.

It seems a bit cruel... making you exist so long without a hole in your head.

[Hope no one else overhears this wack statement.]

[It's okay! Sometimes you talk about holes.]

It is. But Wen Ning and I, we're working on maybe finding a way around that...

[Sometimes you just gotta.]

Wen Ning?

Ah. [He blushes.] My boyfriend.

Oh!
[Brightens! Good for Anaido!!]

I'm glad you found someone. I think it's a lot easier to weather the trials and tribulations we undergo with someone at your side.

Yes....honestly, in the two murder games I was in...he really helped me get through things.

[A tilt of the head.]

You sound like you're talking from experience yourself, though.

[Nods! He holds up his hand that has a ring on it and also is missing two fingers don't worry about it, it's fine.]

Me and Grell are going to get married.

[what]

[WHAT]

What?! Who...wait. Who is Grell?! Congratulations!!

She's my fiance! [THAT WAS IMPLIED YOU FOOLISH MAN.] We met on the ship. She's a grim reaper and also jack the ripper and she loves the theater and the color red and she's the most beautiful woman in the world.

[just going wowwwwwwwwwwwww]

How lucky you are!!! Hahaha! Though...really? The real Jack the Ripper?

Yeah! Or well, in her world anyway. I guess it could have still been someone else in ours. She saw the worst part of me and still liked me so I think I'm really lucky too.

Oh, that's real good fortune for you. I'm glad we both found happiness.

Yeah! What's Wen Ning like?

Oh, he's lovely. He has long black hair, and gorgeous eyes...and he's very quiet, but oh, he's just incredibly thoughtful and very cute! He's accepted all that I am, and all I did. He is in a state where he's not quite alive, but that's fine. We're working on that, too.

... Does that mean he's a zombie or something like that?

[COOL?]

He doesn't like that term, but yes, you could call him that. A "fierce corpse".

He also has a big hole in his chest, and two holes in his head!

[IMPORTANT]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Three holes...

[NODS....]

Three holes...
