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!

Don't be so fragile.

[ sir your masculinity

puts it on his head. ]

[inaudibly]

[Just reaches up and grabs it??

Throwing it on the ground seems TOO rude to do to a stranger so he just eats it.]

[liuli]

Oh! Too bad. That plant's highly poisonous.

[ its a peach blossom ]

[inaudibly]

[Unfortunately Nic doesn't know shit about plants to he just opens his mouth to spit it out (since by eat I meant really he just put it in his mouth to be petty) and makes a face at Gu Yun???

And makes an irritated series of hand gestures at him.]

[liuli]

[ ... oh.

recognition hits him, briefly visible on his face; gu yun stops his foolishness for a moment, reaches up, and taps his own ear, visibly, then looks at nic. ]

[inaudibly]

[Blinking. More gestures?? But then hefigures since Gu Yun isn't acting offended he probably didn't understand the signs from before. So he just nods, points to his own eat and crosses his arms again.]

[liuli]

[ huh.

he holds his hand out, palm up, and mimes writing something in his own palm with his fingertip, and then gestures. ]

I have a feeling you may just be intending to swear at me, but by all means.

[inaudibly]

[Instead he just;]

Only the first time.
[Oh right I should clarify since you weren't here for Blues. This is Nic's heavy deaf accent.]

[liuli]

Ah, a lip reader, are you?

[ he slows down in his speaking just a little! not enough for it to be hugely blatant, but subtle. ] I thought as much.
