[Tanabata in the form of few sub-threads below! There's going to be four:

One, for people performing in the pageant, details will be in the top comment of the subthread, but this one if for people to make direct responses to their appeals as well as to write out what they were and what they do.

Two, for general mingling during the pageant. For the judges and audience and all that jazz.

Three, for the wishes people write up for Tanabata - eighter just to note them or for people to spy on your writing them or tying them up or reacting to them once up or whatever!

Four, finally, is at the end of the night when there are fireworks being launched to go with all this stuff, for people to mingle/watch the show

Timeline
7:30ish -> sunset or so: Pageant
Between: Go make wishes and stuff
10:00ish: Fireworks]

[Hey Arata heeeey. Have a Nagisa walkin' on over to say hello once you've been spotted. wave wave wave!]

Hello, Arata!

[cuethemasong]

[Oh, he wasn't expecting to see her here! Arata will turn around and wave back.]

Hey, Nagisa. And here I thought you were going to be in the pageant.

[cherishedmiracle]

[Yayayay. Smile smile..!]

..E-eh? Did you? I don't think I would have been able to do something like that...

[cuethemasong]

Heh! In all my honesty... You would've been the most dazzling there.

[cherishedmiracle]

..E-eh..? Really? I'm not so sure about that though... I think the contestants that were there were very impressive, after all!

[cuethemasong]

I won't deny that there's some pretty cute girls up there, but you're different!

[cherishedmiracle]

U-um... I-I'm not sure about that... but thank you anyway, I guess... [UNSURE]

[cuethemasong]

Anyway... What did bring you here? Did you just want to hang out?

[cherishedmiracle]

Well, I saw you sitting over here, so I thought I could say hello... if you'd like to um.. hang out too though, I would like that as well!

[cuethemasong]

My schedule has suddenly cleared up when you appeared, so I'll hang out with you until this festival ends!

[cherishedmiracle]

Ah.. Really? I'm glad! That does sound like fun, so... Um, do you mind if I sit next to you, then?

[cuethemasong]

[WHAAAAT!? This wasn't a flag he was expecting..!]

[cuethemasong]

[Awkwardly scooting himself over to make some room.]

S-sure... Go ahead. I don't mind at all.

[cherishedmiracle]

[yaaaaay. Plopping down next to him then.]

Okay! Thank you very much, Arata!

[cuethemasong]

[He's a little quieter than usual... Arata isn't sure what to bring up right now, ah- Of course. Something simple!]

Did you ever get a chance to celebrate Tanabata often?

[cherishedmiracle]

[Gosh so quiet, Arata...! Nagisa nods though.]

Mm, I did with my parents back at home, whenever we could. [like. whenever she wasn't. you know. sick.]

[cuethemasong]

[ffff he doesn't want to imagine a time when she was sick for a festival...]

Do you know about the legend? What do you think about it?

[cherishedmiracle]

[sorry arata--]

..Hm? The legend..?

[cuethemasong]

Huh? You really don't know about the story of Tanabata?

[cherishedmiracle]

Oh, um... I know a little bit of it, but...

[cuethemasong]

Then this would be a perfect time for a history lesson! Sit tight, okay?

[cherishedmiracle]

[She nods, smiling.] Mm, okay! [TEACH HER, ARATA SENSEI]

[cuethemasong]

To be blunt, it's a holiday between star-crossed lovers. A girl named Orihime and a boy named Hikoboshi were seperated by the milky way. So it's only around this time that they can make up and be together.

As for making wishes and what not, that's just how we celebrate it. Honestly, Tanabata wouldn't be how it is if we weren't able to make wishes.

[cherishedmiracle]

Ohh, I see... that sounds a little sad, actually. [Only one time for them to be together...!] I wonder what Tanabata would be like if making wishes wasn't a part of it, then...?

[cuethemasong]

It would pretty boring I'd say. If you don't have a wish to motivate you, then it would be pretty tough to keep going.
