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!

[he's just hovering behind him to watch, trying not to grin too much.]

These things are supposed to be kinda rigged, aren't they? Maybe we just need to catch them with our hands.

[daifukus]

[ it's absolutely terrible how much he lights up at seeing junpei. the tail might be long gone but the sheer excited foo dog vibes are still there ]

I assumed the challenge simply is using such unsavory methods to prove them wrong.

[ not that he's getting far with that tho ]

[crashout]

[a good spear...he crouches down next to him to look at the fish swimming in front of them.]

You're probably right, but you know what we do with challenges, right? We find another way when the first one doesn't work. [i.e. you cheat!]

[daifukus]

[ junpy ur cheating hands ]

I don't suppose you have any hints, then?

[crashout]

[sometimes you just like gambling? and sometimes you also cheat while you're gambling.]

Well...what about a cup? Should be big enough to scoop up a fish or two.

[daifukus]

[ yall keep corrupting the purest spear and i keep laughing ]

Oh....! Yes, I suppose that would be a much easier option.

[crashout]

[YOU CORRUPTED HIM FIRST BY PUTTING HIM IN THE FUCK GAME.]

Unless you want to keep doing it the hard way? I mean, don't let me stop you, you're pretty persistent when you wanna be.

[daifukus]

[ look, ]

Ahaha... this is meant to be a relaxing vacation, is it not? [ he can be lazy this once ]

[crashout]

Wouldn't be much of a vacation if you couldn't relax a little. [says junpei who has never relaxed a day in his life.] Think about it. Lots of familiar faces, some good food, entertainment...it's like they're making up for everything somehow. Or trying to, anyway.

[daifukus]

It's certainly a welcome reprieve than weeks of their games.

[ though speaking of relaxing, he squints at junpei to assess if he's taking A Break for once in his life. ]

And yourself? Have you found anything intriguing yet?

[crashout]

[given the fact he looks like he's a deadman walking and half-asleep it's safe to say that he has not been taking A Break but he's here and he holds up whatever he's drinking.]

Beer mostly. But I just got here and started looking around, so that can probably change. Figured I'd see who was here first before going too far.

[and it's not like tonbo is hard to spot, so.]
