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!

There were! ...there was a lot of strange alcohol there, actually. Even a bottle that had a scorpion in it!

Mahito enjoyed the scorpion more than I did, I think.
no subject
That doesn't surprise me, though I doubt it had anything to do with the flavor. [All things considered...] In any case, there really is a market for everything...
no subject
That's not so surprising! A good salesman can make a case for putting practically any price on a product, no?
no subject
That's true. [He considers making a comment like they got a bunch of us to agree to go to a murdergame lmao but he doesn't because she is. herself. Instead--] Liyue was absurd. I'd never seen so many business loans in my life until I took over at the bank there.
no subject
Until you took over? You're a banker now?

I see! You live quite the interesting life, don't you?
no subject
That's quite a comment, coming from a god.
[If there's any underlying snark there she will never hear it]
no subject
No, I mean it! It sounds like you've tried a bunch of different things. And in such a short time, too!
no subject
I get the feeling your concept of time is a little different from mine.
no subject
no subject
...Do you know how old I am?
[She's like. Not technically wrong. But phrasing it like that is so funny]

I'm being sincere when I say it's impressive! You mortals live for such a short time, but you accomplish so much within that time. I know gods who have done far less than you.
