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!

I'm not restrained by the ordinary limits of physical forms like you mortals are!

[ teehee ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Really?

[huh! schrodinger's stomach.]

So you do not get full?

[targon]

That's what I'm sayingggggg.

At least, I probably don't?

[fishingforcompliments]

...does that mean you are always hungry?

[how unpleasant.]

[targon]

Well, yeah. But that's just 'cause I'm a growing girl.

[ no she's not ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[from the look flayn is giving her, she's not really convinced of that]

[targon]

[ ........ zoe frowns ]

Whatever! Maybe I don't want to grow up and get tall and pretty like you!

[fishingforcompliments]

[...flayn gasps, delighted]

No one has ever called me tall before!

[targon]

You're prettier than you are tall.

[fishingforcompliments]

[


flayn can't figure out if this is a compliment or an insult.]

[targon]

[ yes ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[thought so.]

[targon]

[ :) ]

I like your twisty hair.

[fishingforcompliments]

Thank you! Your hair is beautiful - there must be so many different styles you can try with it!

[targon]

Sounds like a hassle.

[fishingforcompliments]

Do you think so? It can be fun to play with your hair, sometimes.

[targon]

But it takes so looooooong. I don't have all of infinite time, you know!

Well, I do. But who wants to spend it like that?

[fishingforcompliments]

...well, to each their own, I suppose!

[targon]

[ zoe, still sitting in mid-air, just starts sloooowly rotating to sit upside down. ]

Buuuut if you wanted to do my hair fooor me...

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh, that could be fun! What sort of style would you like?

[targon]

Can you make it twisty like yours?

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh, certainly!

[targon]

[ she floats closer, and gets herself right-side up again. ]

Yaaaay!

[fishingforcompliments]

[time to give zoe some very cute twisty curls!!]

[targon]

[ she keeps squirming in place because she's bad at sitting still. ]

Do you ever do different stuff with your hair? I braid strands of mine every now and then but even little sections take so long.
