Summer Festival in the MGU



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!

Shall we give it a try?

[these fools are discussing this plan right in front of the gamerunner, who is giving them a disapproving stare]

...

[ lux flicks her wrist up - and a wall of shimmering light blocks them from the gamerunner's view. this is incredibly conspicuous. ]

Okay, quickly...!

[she very quickly dunks her hands into the water and cups them around a tiny goldfish!!

there is a goldfish swimming in the water she's got in her hands]


...aaah, wait, I need a bowl or something to put it in! And more water!

[ they truly did not think this through at all.

lux runs and grabs one of the bags for the fish to go in. she hurries back and scoops up some water into it, then holds it out for flayn to drop the fish into. why didn't she just steal a bag and scoop fish up into it. also the gamerunner is definitely already yelling. ]

[THEY REALLY DIDN'T THINK AHEAD


anyway once they have enough water in there they run away with the fish. but, like, gently, so as not to jostle it too much. gentle nyooming!]

[ gentle nyooming!!! luckily the gamerunner can't just ditch their stall and leave it unattended, so they are able to escape pretty easily. ]

Well! That went... Swimmingly?

[flayn giggles]

Oh, that is a good one! [she looks to the fish, which is swimming around contentedly in the bag.] What should we name it?

You caught it. I only think it's fair that you decide!
fishingforcompliments: (023)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2021-08-08 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
But I would not have been able to catch it without your assistance!

My goodness! I have had you help me name my new friend, but I have not asked your name or even offered you mine! My apologies - my name is Flayn, miss...?
