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!

[ooc: you know the drill, past mg characters from any of our past games, please don't make me list them again but go nuts.]

[ wehehe ]

Come, let's replenish our supply of treats. We must take advantage while we can.

[daifukus]

[ even more terrible is how fondly tonbo curls said arm around nikkari's waist while they walk off to the other stalls. disgusting. ]

I did see quite a number of unique options earlier. Have you any in mind?

[ cause they're gonna end up with a ton of daifuku otherwise ]

[uncleanse]

[ and while nikkari likewise nestles himself in tonbo's grasp... ]

. . .

I have a feeling Daifukiri is about to make an appearance...

[daifukus]

[ LOOKS AWAY FASTLY ]

Perhaps a little.....



[ maybe they'll have interesting flavors!!! ]

[uncleanse]

Haha... I know they're your favorite, but it would do you good to try broadening your horizons, you know. There's a whole world of interesting sweets out there, Tonbo-kun.

[daifukus]

[ it's not his fault he has an old faithful of a dessert.......


at least he's willing to experiment tho ]

Perhaps if they have something akin to the cheese bread...?

[uncleanse]

Ah, I was hoping for something a little more fruity... haha, no matter. There's nothing stopping us from sampling as many as we want.

[daifukus]

[ perks up because lbr everything sounds good ]

Maybe they will have those drinks you liked.... mmmm, smoothies?

[uncleanse]

Mm, something of that nature would be refreshing on a night like this... ah! Or shaved ice! The kind with syrup poured on top of it, to combat the summer heat.

[daifukus]

It sounds perfect.


[ they're just gonna eat their weight in treats smh ]

[uncleanse]

[ their DIETS... nikkari doesn't seem to find anything wrong with their less-than-healthy choices, because he's swinging their linked hands a little as they approach the food stalls. ]

Hm... once we get our treats, I think I'd like to find somewhere to sit and watch the fireworks. How does that sound?

[daifukus]

[ given their sword status it's fine, probably. not that tonbo care's right now because look at the two of them and how stupidly adoring he looks at nikkari. disgusting. ]

Mm. A perfect accompaniment to our food.

[uncleanse]

[ GROSS... with his other hand, he reaches up and places it on the yari's cheek, regarding his partner with sharp eyes. ]

Haha...is there anything you wouldn't agree with me on, Tonbo-kun?

[daifukus]

[ UUUUH-

lmao the fact he has to sit and think about this ]

Perhaps... in minor insufficient matters? [ like who gets the last piece of meat! or... who gets first dibs in morning routine ]

[uncleanse]

. . .

[ he was just teasing but the way tonbo answers him so earnestly causes him to stand on his tiptoes in order to pat his head while he chuckles. ]

[daifukus]

[ ????????

did he answer wrong?? nikkari? nikkari, explain. ]

[uncleanse]

I was only joking, love... but, ah, the fact that you have so much trust in me never fails to brighten my day.

[daifukus]

[ oh...! nikkari is teasing him again. but look how his hand gets a fond squeeze because they're really just That Pair ]

Of course. I trust you with my heart after all.

[uncleanse]

Hahaha...

[ he drops his hand from tonbo's face as they finally come up on a stall. true to what he'd said earlier, he picks up a small cup filled with shaved ice. it looks like this one is probably cherry-flavored? letting go of his partner's hand, he puts a spoonful in his mouth before playfully poking the tip of tonbo's nose with the spoon. ]

You'll have to try harder than that to be sweeter than my dessert.

[daifukus]

[ his nose...! ]

I suppose I'll just have to consume more desserts then.

[ innocently takes a blue one for himself. time to give himself brain freeze and nikkari fond dokis ]

[uncleanse]

. . .

That time I was actually speaking of flattery.

[ he can't even pretend to be mad or annoyed because this is very charming and a big part of why he fell in love in the first place ]

[daifukus]

[ he's just gonna sheepishly take a bite of his shaved ice. it's fine, he'll just shove sweets into his mouth until he doesn't feel like a bumbling grizzly bear anymore ]

[uncleanse]

You know, for a legendary spear, you're surprisingly silly... you should know I already find you to be the sweetest of all.

[ he savors another scoop of flavored ice... and wonders if tonbo will pick up on the double meaning. ]

[daifukus]

[ he'll probably notice in about 20 minutes or so after the initial round of fond dokis settle and he thinks about what nikkari said tbh. so for now, tonbo just looks at him with that ridiculously fond expression because it's true...! nikkari makes him feel incredibly silly and doki and stupid in love all the time ]

[uncleanse]

[ well, until that happens, nikkari will simply move on without skipping a beat, tugging at tonbo's hand again. ]

For being such a good yari, I suppose I can allow you one congratulatory daifuku.
