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!

I've gone this long in life as I am without change and I'm not sure why I would.
[ also he is not really that surprise to hear that but at the same time... the life you live. ]
But nowhere fun? I can't say it's been the same for me—if I'm blinking anywhere I generally know where I'm going.
no subject
Oh please. People can change any time, we're not immortals stuck in our ways and why would we want to be?
And no, I wouldn't say if I blink and end up elsewhere and it's nowhere familiar, it doesn't tend to be for fun reasons.
[ The life he lives indeed. ]
no subject
Don't ask me; I'm not interested in being immortal, but if you're going to insist on me changing some habits, maybe I should do the same with you.
[ because there are a few habits that steven could probably improve on. just...a few. ]
I guess not, but it looks like we're for something enjoyable here. [ and because it'll be just slight of hand enough to maybe not matter, law will ""grab"" a nearby chocobanana and hold it out. ] Interested?
[ or trade him. ]
no subject
You started it with your comments.
[ Now, we don't have time to unpack all of that (his habits that should be changed)!
Also why is 'grab' in quotation marks what is he actually doing with it hello? ]
You really have to say it like that? Well, if you just want to spend a bit just feeding each other, that's gross but I suppose I'm okay with that for you.
[ Law really does get him to be a little shit sometimes. ]
no subject
[ there's definitely no time to unpack that in the present, and "grab" as in some power swappy usage but it's all very subtle. don't worry about it; the stall owner got a fork in exchange. steven gets to be a little shit and law gets to hint at being a gremlin. ]
Except I have no idea what you're referring to; I was just offering it to you. [ honestly?? he was just innocently offering it. (harmlessly?) he'll keep holding it out for a moment and if steven doesn't take or (or trade him) he'll take a bite of it.
hmm. not a fan of that. chocolate and banana... ] ...but if you're going to put it that way then we can try one of those little stands that are definitely rigged.
no subject
You mean you can try them. I'm not going to purposefully test my luck against a rigged system.
[ The rest of this arrested development banana is his now, tho. ]
no subject
[ look don't go accusing him of things...except for the powers things but it's really fine. barely anything but enjoy the banana as law will take that drink in exchange otherwise the idea of him with a drink in one hand and a chocobanana in the other is too funny. ]
And really? You're not interested in cheating a broken system?
[ something something he cares so little about rules. ]
no subject
[ Law didn't say fix. But it's fine. ]
no subject
And why would I call you an asshole about that? [ a slight nudge for that. ] It's not like pirates go around fixing things wherever they go.
[ ignore the fact that he's a doctor. they're two separate things. ]
no subject
Suppose that just means I'll have to stick around and make sure things don't get broken. Too much, anyway.
[ Still applicable to this summer festival, but also, a general comment on their chaotic lives. ]
no subject
I suppose it does, but I'll be sure to be considerate about the messes that I leave behind. Don't need you working overtime.
[ fondly. and just because he can, he'll steal a fox mask off of a rack and hold it over his face. ]
Or maybe I should just consider putting on a disguise.
