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!

Comments

[doublebladed]

I'm not actually sure. [hm. that is to say he's busy kind of glancing at the bamboo again, along with the papers.] Are papers supposed to go on trees like this?

[and not down people's shirts?]

[evocationary]

It's likely! I'm not sure why. Never come across this tradition before.

[a beat.] Are you going to?

[doublebladed]

I don't know yet. [he's considering it though judging by the way he looks at the branches.] If it really can make wishes come true, it makes sense to try doesn't it? Especially if you have a really big wish.

[evocationary]

[tilts her head...]

You're right, there's no reason to not try. [...] I assume you have a big wish.

[doublebladed]

Something like that. [he doesn't look like he's going to elaborate, but after a moment he does anyway.] There are certain things I want to do, and I know if we keep trying we'll get there. But the extra help would at least give us an idea of what to do next. That would make things better.

[and then, quickly, like he's embarrassed for believing it's that simple:] If it really works that way, I mean.
