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!

I'd let you delegate carrying duty.

[ Look at how gracious she is.

She looks around and then points at the milk bottle toss. ]

That one.

[worthyness]

Generous of you. [the thing about it is that miles isn't exactly athletic, but he figures he can probably throw a ball and knock over a few bottles? that's easy enough. any moron can throw a ball, but it does mean he pauses to size up the bottles themselves.]

Fine then. [he will get three whole baseballs and immediately throw the first!!...as it clips the top of the stack and the bottles stay standing.]

--you saw that, didn't you? The bottle was hit. [and now he just sounds annoyed.]

[fergalicious]

[ She laughs. Edgeworth really does humor too much, and she keeps on taking advantage of it. ]

My generosity is vast, and I saw capitalism at work.

[ These games are as corrupt as his court of law. ]

[worthyness]

[everyone miles has ever cared about has been extremely forceful and strongwilled and medb fits right in that category. he just has to pretend that he's put off by it, mostly. he's not sure if he is or isn't surprised she understands the concept of capitalism as applied to cheap carnival games, but he does look significantly more annoyed as he tries again.


and the ball bounces off the center as the bottles stay standing.]

I suppose they think it's clever to glue the stack together instead of allowing a fair trade?

[fergalicious]

[ Medb does not seem surprised by this rigged game at all. She knows Miles is more of a nerd than a jock, but she's sure he can find a way to get her a prize. ]

Take them to court.

[ Is she serious? Medb continues to look amused, serious or not. ]

[worthyness]

[she may not be serious, but judging by the look on his face he truly is out here thinking of the merits of suing this interdimensional festival for false advertising and if he would win that case.]

I suppose there are enough witnesses to their crimes that a solid case could be built...

[but he throws another ball and the top milk bottle finally topples over.]
