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.)

Mieuuu...do you think so? Why would someone set up a game like that, though?

[He's not unused to violent reactions, so he just watches and takes Ragna's words seriously.]

It must be cheating.

[rageface]

Exactly! Because someone would get a kick outta messing with others like that!

[Like almost everyone from his own home. That's why he was convinced that the arcade game based on his own homeworld was rigged.]

Absolute cheating.

[thinglike]

Who could do such a mean thing? Mieuuu...I really wanted to win a prize, too. Do you think it was the... ... Mal-says-no?

[He hops off the little stand, his Cheagle ears drooping.]

I really don't think it was someone in the village...everyone is so nice.

[rageface]

I know a couple of people who'd do something like this. [Not that they'd go through the effort to do this. Nor would the Malnosso.

...

Ragna quietly grabs another ring to toss.] Lemme just try again.

[thinglike]

People in the village, you mean? Mieuuu...

[Oh, that catches his interest pretty quickly. He hops right back up, immediately in better spirits.]

You can do it this time, I think!

[rageface]

I know I can. [Ragna just closes his eyes, tosses the ring and... bullseye! He just had to not overthink it. Which is strange, since Ragna tends to not think at all when he does things.]

... Did I get it?

[thinglike]

Ragna, Ragna! You got it!

[Flap flap! Flying over now to land right next to the target. Sure enough, there's a ring right around the target!]

That was so amazing! How did you do that?

[rageface]

... Uh. [That's a good question. But he can totally own up to this.] Just practice! I guess.

[He's in some sort of shock about the whole thing, considering he failed so badly just before. Also, his eyes were closed.]
