Rating: ★ Please accept this!
After months of planning and roping in poor, innocent people to help out with some of the work it's finally done. An actual festival, all for the starfish.

The morning of the 14th mostly consists of people arriving, the stalls being brought in and decorations being put up. It's all about the preparation! Most of the decorating consists of banners and streamers you might find at a school festival, all hung around doors and windows and between the buildings in the plaza. And star shaped pieces of card being stuck up here and there in places too. If the decorations don't tell you what's going on then the banners saying 'STARFISH FESTIVAL' certainly will.

Come midday the festival is in full swing. There's plenty of food at many of the stalls (either prepared by Fuuko and the other girls or brought in by other villagers) ranging from cake, ice cream and different kinds of sweet things, to starfish tea, sandwiches, all sorts of festival fare. There are a few games set up too where it's possible to win starfish related prizes like pins, badges and even plush toys and some stalls are even giving out wind chimes. Finally there's also a little entertainment provided with music being played in the background throughout most of the festival. (You should totally go listen to Kotomi giving her very own violin recital.)

By night time when most of the food is gone there will be a fireworks display to bring an end to the festival. Hopefully the Starfish Festival would be a day to remember!

(You didn't need to receive an invite in order to come, that was just the girl's attempt at getting word of the festival out there. The festival is open to anyone and everyone to come along and have a good time.)

The food is wonderful, in fact you should allow Fuuko to go and get some starfish cakes for you to try!

[Before she gets a reply Fuuko turns and runs back off to her stall to leave her nice pile of starfish goods all safe and sound whilst picking up a tray of different coloured star shaped cakes and heading back.]

[starfishlovesyou]

If you watched Fuuko being happy with the starfish who are also being happy... Would that mean Kotomi-san would be even happier?

[This is an important question, just like everything else Fuuko ever asks Kotomi.]

[starfishlovesyou]

This is something Fuuko thought about back home. The idea came to Fuuko in a dream, from one of Fuuko's friends! [And then she just sort of rolled with the dream and made it reality.] Fuuko hopes this is what Okazaki-san wanted the starfish festival to be like.

[starfishlovesyou]

Fuuko has tried asking them to stop before! [And by that she means she shouts and them and only ends up making herself even bigger troll bait.] Some of them are just really weird though and keep bothering Fuuko. It's okay though, the next time it happens Fuuko will just ignore them.

[starfishlovesyou]

[Fuuko has already started her decorating work, pinning the streamer as high up as she can manage on the side of the building. It's not that high up at all, but at least she's managing to clear the windows just fine.

She's so determined in making sure the decorations look okay that she doesn't even notice what Grune is doing, still expecting to meet her half way.]

This is going to look great, Fuuko can see it now!

[starfishlovesyou]

Save all the poor starfish things people might have left behind and take them home so Fuuko can keep them safe!

[Her house is going to be full of so much starfish related junk. So much.]

[starfishlovesyou]

[HUGE SUCCESS!]

Well done Nagisa-san, Fuuko knew you would get it eventually, you had so much determination that it would be a crime if you had missed!

[And now for the best part.]

What prize are you going to pick Nagisa-san?

[starfishlovesyou]

[WHY WOULD YOU LIE TO HER?!]

So you're not ordinary even though you just said before that you were?! Fuuko doesn't know what to believe anymore!

[You're breaking her Kouki. Stop it.]

Phew. Good. >.>

[starfishlovesyou]

Are you certain?! Fuuko isn't sure whether to believe you or if Fuuko should hold on even tighter just in case!

[She's going to hold on tighter anyway, enjoy having some hands slapped over your eyes Battler.]

[starfishlovesyou]

[WOW WOW WOW. THE UK IS HATING ON NO ONE. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.]

It's a little cute, but Fuuko will stick to calling Manami-san just that and will save Mi-san for later. [...] Do you want a nickname Madoka-san? Fuuko can start calling you Ma-chan if you like.

[tailasoldastime]

[He jumps as he tends to when Fuuko changes her mood so quickly and immediately bolts upright.] Y-yes. I will. And I won't... n-not... control my... temper. [This last part is said gruffly. Many have already told him this, he knows it very well.]

[rashness]

[...Well, that works]

Yukiiiio! Let's play that! I bet I can kick you ass!

[rashness]

Damn straight it isn't! [RECOILING his tail. And taking a step back. Hiiiis. Hiiis]

[howsmashing]

Tch. Doubt it.

[Nah, he'll try it later.]

Anyway, what's your deal four eyes? You a doctor or something? [You got glasses so you MUST be a doctor obv.]

[whimsicalwinds]

[totally]

It is, isn't it? Though it does seem at least a little strange even then, I suppose..

[howsmashing]

[Oh you did not say he was weak.]

Hey! Skatin' on thin ice here, Smokes-A-Lot. [Flick. Flick. Flick... JDFSAFKJABJAKFJSKL] RRRGH! I AM flicking it! Look, just gimme more of these beanbag things. I'm gonna beat this crappy carnival game if it's the last thing I do.

[howsmashing]

[why is everything star shaaaaaped.]

Hmm. I just sleep on the floor. Far as doors, all you gotta do is break the door frame. [This is totally practical what are you talking about.]

[divinacommedia]

[KJSBFKSDJFSD]

U...uwaahhh Fuuko-chan o...oi...! Don't do that! [he manages to stay still but- HE STILL CAN'T SEE.]

[folklorist]

O-oh no. I-I'm not a doctor. Just, just a headmaster. I, ah, r-run a school, nothing more. [ He gives a shaky smile. ]

[magentarific]

Not really. If you want to do something, do it.

[fleurdesel]

I come from a long line of artists and artisans. Musicians, dancers, painters, writers. As for my husband, he was an American from a modest family.

[so_shik]

And which one's Kou?

[so_shik]

I wonder if maybe we can write it down somewhere and find a way to take the written down memories with us. You know, like a journal or something.

[hisdarkmark]

Well, where exactly do you recommend I start?

[hisdarkmark]

[A nod. Of course he does. Luceti, despite how absolutely terrible it could be on some of its best days, was much more preferable than the alternative of going back home to being a Death Eater, to working under Voldemort and to not having any means of friends or support.]

I'll never see them again after I leave this place, and I know that. I'm not in a great rush to get home anyhow, so I may as well enjoy my time here. If that means staying a few more years, fine.
