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!

[there's a quick and sudden bang right against his ear, like the sound of a cabinet being slammed shut! this is how wizards say hello.

which lup is this? who knows because both would do this]

[arkitect]

What do you want--

[he's instantly irritated when that interrupts his calm... but seeing it's lup seems to smooth his ruffled feathers, as he just siiighs and relaxes into place once more.]

You could just come sit. I am well aware of your capability to appear somewhere without trying to deafen me in the process.

[evocationary]

You're such a baby. It wasn't even that loud.

[she does wander over, though, flopping down next to him.] Didn't think you'd be stuck here like some kind of puny mortal.

[arkitect]

Have you not considered that I may not be?

[like-- he is stuck, yes. but. maybe he just wanted to vibe here a while, damn!]

I don't entirely dislike it.

[evocationary]

I considered it, and then tossed away the notion. This is not the type of place Emet Selch would conjure up for himself.

[not enough ween woons.]

... But uh. Well. Not disliking it is good.

[arkitect]

[he waves a hand, idly. is that firework in the shape of lup's tattoo? hm. he saw nothing.]

It is not, no, but I already have what I would otherwise conjure.

Azem would enjoy themselves here, I'm sure, but as they aren't present, they will have to satisfy themselves with hearing of it later.

[evocationary]

[aw, that's cute.]

Azem enjoys everything you don't. [she informs him, amused.] Wowzers. I should hang out with them more often, they're the life of the party.

[quit negging emet]

[arkitect]

As they are not here, I'm afraid you'll have to content yourself with my company instead.

Unless you would prefer to spend your time elsewhere?

[evocationary]

Gross. [she says, stretching idly.] Anyway. No. I'm not going anywhere.

[idly, lup draws a shape in the air with fire - something that looks like his glyph mask.]

[arkitect]

Then I do hope you know you can't complain about the company you've chosen to keep.

[he leans over, then, reaches out to play with that fire himself and alter it-- shifts one half of the glyph and works in the shape of symbols she's used in her spell work, ties them in to the whole like it's the glyph of a prime.]

[evocationary]

[she just makes a face at him - but doesn't seem to mind him playing with fire. she tilts her head to the side a bit, watching, and then her lips twitch.]

Sentimental! I'm always surprised. [she hums, but it's not like... mean. she's just amused.]
