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!

[ooc: you know the drill, past mg characters from any of our past games, please don't make me list them again but go nuts.]

[she casually leans against him because she's a gremlin with no sense of personal space.]

Not a ding-dang clue. But I have all my magic, so at least there's that! [hums...] I'm glad to see you, though.

[worthyness]

[weirdly, he lets her. wow. it's like he likes her or something.]

...you as well. [it's said quietly like he's not sure he wants to say so, but that it should be said anyhow.] If you have all of your magic then I suppose we aren't actually in any danger this time. Though I can't quite figure out what the point of this festival is.

[evocationary]

[gross, affection.]

I think it's supposed to be fun? Do you know what that is?

[worthyness]

[he takes the churro and there's a very pointed bite as he stares her dead in the eye.]

I can't say I do. Never heard of it. [lup please.]

[evocationary]

Thought so. That makes it my job to drag you along for adventures.

[she's a brat, which is why when he's pulled away from his bite, she leans in and also takes a bite of his churro.

and then takes his free hand! come along, miles.]

[worthyness]

[him churro!! never mind that he's the one who initially offered it back to her, it's now the principle of the matter!!

...but she can have his free hand and he dutifully follows after her without much of an argument.]

Only if you feel you're up for the task. I've heard it's quite daunting.
