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!

Tail?

[holeful]

Haha!
[It wags more.]

Yeah, sometimes it happens now!
[He also seems to have fangs now.]

[housewolf]

And the fangs...?

[holeful]

A blessing from Lord Ares!

[housewolf]

You've had a very interesting time, huh?

[holeful]

Yeah! We went to an orgy and also I got to rescue Grell and say the cool line I practiced even if she yelled at me instead of swooning.

[????]

[housewolf]

...

What?

[holeful]

Well a bunch of people got kidnapped? Including Grell and Mr Dionysus. Unforunately for them, me and Grell have rings that can sense where the other is, so me and Lord Ares were able to find them and rescue them!

[Surely that's the confusing part not the orgy.]

[housewolf]

[UM...]

I was more confused about the orgy part.

[holeful]

Oh. The emperor held it? Me and Grell went together so it's fine.

[housewolf]

How did you end up somewhere with an emperor?

[holeful]

Apparently there was something wrong with the timelines and the people who brought us there are trying to fix it?

He's more like ours, though. I mean, I think he has more power than the emperor does in Japan, but he's more benevolent in that sort of way. He's only in charge of the western side of the country around Kyoto and thereabouts.

[housewolf]

I... see.

[He does not see.]

I'm glad you're still together with Grell.

[Despite the. Uh. Everything.]

[holeful]

Yeah! I even have a ring now! It has magic GPS.
[????????]

And the gods want to help us with the wedding.

[housewolf]

What is magic GPS?

[holeful]

Oh, like if we activate it a laser shoots out that points to where the other person is? And it's powered by magic instead of satellites.

[housewolf]

[Sometimes you make friends with people who just say things.

So much.]

That seems convenient.

[holeful]

[In his defense that's literally what the ring does.]

Yeah! Grell got it as a gift from the NRL scientists! Sometimes I lose track of time and get lost so it's pretty useful, actually.
