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.)

[It's like you're an older, more adapted to human society and less ostracized by your village him.]

Thankfully, the people I was supposed to inter... uh, stop were kind of late. I kept taking the wrong turn and ending up at the port, when I was supposed to be in the cavern below the city. They should hand out maps to newcomers.

[Hi there, slip-up, he's filing you away for later. Maybe.]

Cavern? There's a cavern below the city?

[dogboy]

It connects to the sewers of the place, so I guess it's more of they built it around that? There's a shrine dedicated to the past gods too if I remember Lady Mathias's words right. I didn't really stay around to check.

[wingenvy]

Oh, wow... that's kind of cool. The city I lived in had multiple levels, too, but it's only ever been one city as far as I know.

[dogboy]

What sort of levels? Regnum only had those two, but it's pretty big either way.

[wingenvy]

We've only got two in Midgar, actually- the slums and the upper plate.

[dogboy]

Oh. Well, just the top is livable. There are some that live in the sewers too, because they have nowhere else to go.

[wingenvy]

...Sounds pretty rough. What's wrong with the other level?

[dogboy]

There's nothing there. That's all.

[wingenvy]

Couldn't the people build places to live if there's nothing there, though? I mean, I'd take that over the sewers any day.

[dogboy]

For them, I mean. No family or work, nothing like that.

[wingenvy]

Oh, gotcha. So basically you just need a bunch of icebreakers.

[dogboy]

I guess that'd help, yeah. It's not my city though, so I can't say for sure. [It's just what he noticed going through it.]
