The Cultural Fair

[wise_maiden]

Who: Everyone! Or as close to that as possible, please. \o/
What: The Cultural Fair
When: April 25th-26th, though the earlier set-up days (22nd, 23rd, and keeping everything dry on the 24th) are also encouraged to help get a feel for it
Where: All around the town square
Summary: Also here.
Rating: ... is this a thing?

Note: Booths can be labeled as separate comments! Just put [booth name] or something in the subject line so people can find top level comments easier. Work was probably started for it on the 22nd-23rd for labor purposes, sheltering things from the weather on the 24th, and the actual Fair is on the 25th-26th, so using any of those dates and figuring out where your characters are helping would be good. CHARACTERS ARE WELCOME TO TAG THE LOG FOR INTERACTING WITH OTHERS, NOT JUST BOOTHS, SO FEEL FREE TO TAG IN! Also a character who might not know what's going on is welcome to walk by and question it! And so forth.

I'll leave the descriptions up to you all as there probably isn't much that is too uniform about the displays, as everyone is encouraged to be creative about it. Think of it as something on a much smaller scale than the festival from a year ago, definitely, but how hard the characters worked isn't something I could define for each of you. That said there are plenty of unique sights, so enjoy browsing! Thank you!

(Also, please add your name tags!)

[Aang's eyebrow rose as he checked the pamphlet. It didn't really look like any animal he knew- and such a weird name. He missed the simple naming scheme of his home where things would just be "platypus bears" or "turtle ducks". He had just one question for the caped man.]

Can you ride it?

[hark_a_suicune]

If it deems you worthy, yes! I saw my very own rival ride Suicune into the sunset, towards the great battle for the fate of the world!

[Actually it wasn't sunset and it was mostly a regional thing, but he likes his version better. More dramatic.]

[savedtheworld]

That sounds great! I love being deemed worthy of things and I sometimes do great battles for the fate of the world! Does Luceti have any of these Suicunes?

[hark_a_suicune]

Ah!! Would you be... an aspiring Suicune hunter?!

[Does he have to add someone to his ever expanding list of rivals and its grand total of one person?!]

[savedtheworld]

Well... I don't want to hunt things. I'd just like to meet it and maybe take it for a ride.

[hark_a_suicune]

Oh, no, you misunderstand me. By "hunting", I merely mean the act of pursuing Suicune! I certainly do not want any harm to come to it!

[Just thinking about it makes his skin crawl.]

[savedtheworld]

Oh. That's better, then! I used to do the same for the different kinds of interesting animals I wanted to ride!

[hark_a_suicune]

Have you ridden many interesting creatures?

[savedtheworld]

Oh, a whole lot! Like otter penguins and hopping llamas and giant koi fish and hog-monkeys! Plus I have my own sky bison back home named Appa who I ride all the time!

[hark_a_suicune]

[... Now that's some strange Pokémon names.]

I've never heard of these Pokémon before! What do they look like?

[savedtheworld]

What? They're just animals, not Pokemons! They mostly just look like what they sound like.

[hark_a_suicune]

[Oh, right, most worlds have "animals". He really needs to get used to this (strange) idea.]

My apologies. We don't have animals, where I come from.

[savedtheworld]

Oh, that's okay. All these different worlds do make it confusing about what to call what! [Like all the places with magic that has some similarities with bending.] Does that mean the Suicune is a Pokemon?

[hark_a_suicune]

I've yet to get properly used to it, myself.

[Well, not so much the "different world" thing. More like "different world without Pokémon". How can anyone live without Pokémon?!]

But yes, Suicune is indeed a Pokémon. A great beast of legend born from wind and mist, roaming the lands of my homeworld in search of a worthy partner!
