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!

I'm still growing! You can't be that surprised. [he says, like he actually got taller and that it's not wishful thinking. but he seems pretty excited to just be here in general.]
no subject
You're not allowed to be much taller than me. [she pats his cheek, and then tugs him into a hug? c'mere.]
no subject
Much, so that means I can still be a little taller if I want to be. [he will not because this is a good hug height.]
no subject
[she brings a hand up to run through his hair, not minding the bonecrushing. or - well, a little, but it's just teasing:] Sweetheart, my hit points.
no subject
It's been a while...everything okay?
no subject
For sure, yeah. Things are going pretty okay. [hums.] I redecorated Blanca's house, we had Chiron over for dinner one night. Normal things.
You? [a beat, and then pinching him a little!!] Did you see Riku?
no subject
Did you even ask Blanca before you did? [he suspects the answer is no, but he does seem happy that they're still together. seeing friends. normal stuff. but his expression fades to something thoughtful after that.]
Things are the same as they've always been. But I did find Riku. [there's a frown.] I think he's from the past though.
