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!

Maybe. We can keep going with some of them.

[ 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.

[kokytos]

Of course you think it's innocent. [ lmao. Anyway stop using your powers for stupid shit he's going to kill you faster than your abilities can. Law should be full aware that it's more than just 'being a gremlin' with that particular topic. ]

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. ]

[nodo]

Meaning?

[ 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. ]

[kokytos]

Meaning nothing more than a light jab. Anyway, call me an asshole but I don't have time to fix all broken systems. Only the ones that need my attention the most.

[ Law didn't say fix. But it's fine. ]

[nodo]

[ hmmm. ]

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. ]

[kokytos]

That wasn't an invite to do so. [ Unless Law has some secret insults and thoughts up his sleeve, wowie. Except Law barely wears shirts to begin with. ]

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. ]

[nodo]

[ he wears shirts!!!! and sweaters!!! but he also has his tits out a lot which is not my fault. ]

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.
